Great location for exploring Edinburgh
Cracking location, right in the centre of Edinburgh. Flat was great - clean and spacious - with a good view of High St /Royal Mile. Some city centre type noise in the evenings, but of no concern. If anything, it added to the atmosphere. Would happily recommend staying here, unless you’d struggle with stairs (2-3 floor spiral staircase to get up to flat).

Fabulous apartment!
We had a brilliant weekend in Edinburgh. The apartment was perfect in every way. Great location, beautifully decorated, loads of space and kitted out with everything you’d need. There were 5 of us staying 3 adults and two children. There was plenty of room for us all and great to have two bathrooms. The children absolutely loved watching the street performers out of the window when we weren’t out and about exploring. Looking forward to booking our return trip

About the host

Hosted by Cat Macdonald

Host profile image
Cat and David live close to Edinburgh and own Wedderburn Castle and Barns, a wedding and events venue in the Scottish Borders, and a collection of holiday rentals in the south of Scotland. David bought the Royal Mile flat when he lived in Edinburgh and knows what a great place it is to stay! Before marrying David, Cat was a journalist who travelled extensively as part of her job – often staying in inspiring places. They now hope to offer the best of Edinburgh to guests at the Royal Mile apartment.

Why they chose this property

Everything you need to enjoy a relaxed stay in the heart of the beautiful and historic city of Edinburgh. The Royal Mile is Edinburgh's most historic street and the only place to stay to soak up the atmosphere of the city.

Despite being a historic property the rooms are bright and spacious. The flat has been renovated in a way that his sympathetic to its past but also feels fresh and contemporary.

What makes this property unique

There are few flats in Edinburgh that are more central. The views down onto the street below are enhanced by street performers during summertime so you can have your very own personal cabaret just out the window. On the other side of the building the flat offers iconic views to the south of the city.
