Large Group stay

Recently travelled through Edinburgh with a group of 7 adults and 1 child. House is fantastic with so much space, bathrooms on each level and in a fantastic convenient location. Peter was lovely to deal with from the start of the booking process right through until we arrived. Would highly recommend to anyone with a large group.

Excellent stay

Peter was an excellent host. He went out of his way to accommodate our needs. We enjoyed meeting him and talking with him on several occasions. He was personable in every way. In addition, the property was right on the public bus route that we could take and/or connect to all parts of Edinburgh We highly recommend staying at Peter's property.

July-August rental

Property is not quite so smart as pictured - everything was clean and neat but somewhat shabby. The tiny kitchen was a drawback for a party of 16 people, as was having the dining room one floor up, and during our stay the kitchen stove was not working. However Peter the host was wonderful, could not have been more helpful, and very kindly let us park in the driveway of his home. Great area for eating out, easy to get to town centre, Tesco, Botanics. Overall good value for a large group.

Great location.

This property was in a very good location. The living room and dining room were very nice. The kitchen was small and some of the basement rooms did not have a window.

About the host

Hosted by peter henderson

Juliet, my daughter, and I purchased this lovely property for our use as we really liked the feel of it, and I was retiring. Juliet, her children and I have lived there, and it is likely she will stay there again in the future. We have not made many changes. During covid Juliet carried out some furniture, floor painting and added some features to bring even more ambience, which has proved very popular with guests.

Why they chose this property

It is a whole house built in 1860 and is fairly original. It has a very nice feel to it and is built on the curve with front and back gardens. The outlook to Broughton St Mary's, a very lovely parish church, and Bellevue Crescent gardens is very comforting.
I have known the area for more than 60 years as in 1956 I moved with my parents, my brothers and sisters to a flat that we still have nearby in Scotland Street.
I live a few minutes away so usually available at short notice.

What makes this property unique

We love the architecture, the location, the size and the flexibility of the house. It feels very private , yet you can step out of the front gate and be in the centre in a few minutes.
