Lovely location, great house, not so good for oldies
We really enjoyed our time at Comely Bank, the house is lovely, and the location is convenient for taxi-ing into central Edinburgh. It was restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. However, most of our party were 70+ years old, and the need to step in an out of the bath on the upper floor in order to take a shower was a bit of a concern, as there were no grab bars on the walls. This would make our party think twice about staying there again. But other than that, all was good!

Amazing property
We cannot recommend this apartment enough! It is even better than the pictures look. The living room is grand, the bedrooms are a great size and a lovely kitchen. The neighbourhood is just 15-20 mins walk from the city centre and a beautiful area. We had a group of 8 adults staying and had plenty of space, it was great. Entry process was simple and contact from host made everything about the apartment and area really clear. They even left a loaf of bread, tea and coffee for us which is a lovely touch.

About the host

Hosted by Rona Ounsley

Host profile image
I was born in Montrose in the North East of Scotland and brought up in the small town of Forfar. I came to Edinburgh to study, met my husband and the rest is history! My husband comes from York but we both loved Edinburgh so much we couldn't bear to leave so we both found jobs in the city and we were able to buy a flat eventually, moving up the property ladder until we were able to buy both apartments at our current address.

Why they chose this property

We originally lived in the Upper Villa and we were lucky to buy it from friends as we loved visiting them as the property has some beautiful original features - the cornicing in the drawing room won me over at first sight!

What makes this property unique

The view from the windows in the drawing room, the coal fire in the drawing room, the spacious rooms all make the Upper Villa feel like a home from home
