The Edinburgh / Lothians / Edinburgh/Midlothian region

Edinburgh, like Rome, is built on 7 hills, the most famous of them being; the dorment volcano 'Arthur's Seat', Calton Hill and The Castle Rock. The Castle Rock has a 'tail' or ridge that was carved out by nature during the Ice age, it runs from Edinburgh Castle down to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and measures slightly more than 1 mile (Hence the name The Royal Mile). 1000 years ago this ridge became Edinburghs first road. Today, it is known as 'The Royal Mile'. The apartment is set halfway down this beautiful and ancient route.

The Edinburgh / Royal Mile area

One of Europe's most beautiful Capital Cities, Edinburgh is the centre of Devolved Scottish Government, the second largest centre for European financial management after London and is home to the annual International Festival of the Arts and it's famous 'Fringe'.
Art Galleries, Museums, Theatres, Cinemas and Concert Halls contribute to a rich cultural life.
The City also plays regular host to many National & international sporting events and is a Mecca for shopping with many designer and specialist outlets.
There is a huge choice of venues for eating & drinking at every level and price imaginable.
Golf, swimming, Mounting biking, Hiking, Dry slope skiing, Histoical & ghost tours and the Dynamic Earth attraction are just some of the things to enjoy during your visit.

“Fanastic apartment, excellent location, gorgeous city. What more do you need.” The apartment is lovely and a good size for four people staying Facilities provided were excellent. The location of the apartment is fantastic and really easy to get to. When I go back to Edinburgh I will def be asking Colin first to see if the apartment is vacant on the dates. Colin is easy to get in touch with and was very accommodating. Response: Thank you for your fantastic review. We won't be resting on our laurels though. Every year we look to improve the apartment to make the 'Royal Mile Experience' better for our visitors. This year alone we have fitted a brand new quality kitchen along with appliances and installed free WiFi. And later this month we will be replacing some of the lounge furniture with top of the range stuff. Not because we have to, but because we want to help make your visit to Edinburgh one to remember. We know you worked hard for your break and therefore it's only fair that we should too. Haste ye back. Colin.

“Excellently appointed apartment in the centre of Edinburgh” My friend and I recently stayed in this excellent apartment. We were very pleased with its location, as it was easy to get to all of the places of interest and the shops!! A lot of thought has gone into furnishing and fitting out the apartment. Also it was spotlessly clean and the bed linen/towels were of good quality. We would recommend this apartment to anyone visiting Edinburgh and would definitely stay there again. Response: Thank you for a wonderful, thoughtful and observant review. We try extra hard to make our visitors experience both comfortable & memorable and a review like yours proves to us it's all worth while. Thank you. By continually up-grading and improving the quality of the apartment many of our visitors, like you, are choosing to return to us. Thanks for the recommendation and the great review. Haste ye back. Colin.

'Everything was perfect, exceptional Location and a very clean apartment.' What more needs to be said? Thank you for being an exceptional and considerate visitor. Haste ye back. Colin.

“Outstanding apartment with everything within easy reach.” For years we have been visiting Edinburgh. Originally we used to stay in a hotel, but some years ago we found this superb apartment. It contains everything what you might need, everything has been provided for and it feels very comfortably like home. Even internet is provided. To us, most agreeable thing about it is, that you are living as one the local people. The apartment itself is quiet, but immediately outside the close you are in the thick of things. Everything worthwhile visiting is nearby, e.g. Holyrood Palace, Scottish Museum. Also transport is easily at hand, like buses (airport connection) and Waverley station. After all these years we feel that we did not do and see all there is to be seen and done, so we'll continue to come back here every year. Response: For a visitor to return to our apartment year after year is testament to our dedication and an immense honour and privilege for us. You are a most valued visitor with, like us, a great love of what we believe to be one of the greatest cities in the world. I've never thought about it before but you are absolutely right; the hotels can't match the freedom, value and feeling of belonging that a well appointed self-catering apartment offers. Thank you for a wonderful and honest review which I'm sure will help other visitors decide that a city centre self-catering apartment is the best place to stay when visiting this magnificent, striking and vibrant capital; Edinburgh. Haste ye back. Colin.

“Great place - thoroughly recommend!” A great place to stay. Central location, very clean, warm and all the amenities you will need. Wi-Fi a bonus as well. Owners very organized and extremely helpful with lots of information on the facilities in the unit. Would have no hesitation in recommending and will definitely stay there again on our next visit. Response: Thank you for a great review. Our apartment preparation team work very hard between lets to ensure everything is just right for the most important of people; our next visitor. It's lovely to know their efforts are rewarded with such appreciation. The free WiFi came about by us listening to our visitors and acting upon their needs. We are delighted that you found the tourist information in the apartment so helpful. Thank you for your recommendations. You will be welcome back anytime. Haste ye back. Colin.

“Ideal Edinburgh Location, convenient, comfortable” This self-catering flat is well situated for Edinburgh visitors, covnenient for walking to many of the tourist attractions in central Edinburgh, but also very convenient for all public transportation. There are numerous good restaurants and pubs in the area, but the apartment is fitted out for cooking one's own meals and supermarkets are only a short walk away. The furnishings are comfortable and adequate for longer stays. I am in Edinburgh about twice a year, either by myself or with family, and I have been staying here regularly for several years. I really enjoy the flat itself, as well as the location. However, the flat would not be suitable for people who have difficulty climbing steps. Response: Thank you for a wonderful review. I am so lucky to have such a well positioned apartment. As you say; good restaurants and pubs, public transportation, tourist attractions and supermarkets (not to mention the fantastic array of designer shops) are all close by. It's in the heart of everything Edinburgh city centre has to offer. Haste ye back. Colin.

“A truly wonderful apartment in an excellent location” We stayed here for a weekend city break and found ourselves in a clean, modern well furnished apartment. The location meant we were minutes away from the best bars, pubs and restaurants. The booking for this trip was made simple and helpful. Although we never met the owner, he replied to emails quickly and always to resolve problems. The only downside, and it is a small one, was the 3 flights of stairs up to the apartment. Not so easy with luggage but better than staying on the ground floor. 5 out of 5. Highly recommended!!! Response: Wow! What a great review. You're right; being so central means you are able to make the most of your break without having to catch busses or taxis to see the sights, visit the shops or have a good night out on the town. I'm pleased you mentioned the stairs as some of our more senior or not so able visitors might struggle to cope with them. But as you rightly say “better than staying on the ground floor”. A great review that is both fair and informative. Thank you Haste ye back. Colin.

“Excellent value, centrally located accommodation in the heart of Edinburg” My family and I stay for one week in this accommodation while in Edinburg. It is right at the heart of Edinburg and represents excellent value for money. Colin, the landlord, was very helpful and everything we required was available. The accommodation was clean and represented great value for money. Note: This accommodation maybe not be suitable for very young children, older persons or disabled persons as there are several steps up to the accommodation. Response: Thank you for your kind review. We try very hard to make all our visitors feel 'at home on holiday' and receiving reviews like yours makes everything worth while. Haste ye back. kind regards Colin

“Brilliant” We stayed for 4 nights in July 2010 and had previously stayed in July 2008. We travelled with a young child both times. The apartment is in a brilliant location and everything you need is on your doorstep. I could not find any fault with this apartment and I have passed the details onto a number of friends. The owner is easy to deal with and the two times I have stayed have ran smoothly. Would definetely recommend this for your stay in Edinburgh. Response: Thank you for a fab review and the recommendations. It's lovely to know that all the hard work we put in helps to make a smooth booking and an enjoyable visit. Edinburgh is such a fantastic city you can't help but want to return time and time again. Haste ye back. Colin.

Kind regards Colin

“Couldn't ask for a better location in Edinburgh” 107 Royal Mile was the perfect place for us to spend our week in Edinburgh! Located mid-way between Edinburgh castle and Holyrood Place and only 3 minutes from the bus terminals at Waverly Station, it was ideal for getting around. From the dining area, the views north to Calton Hill and Old St. Paul's Cathedral from the backside was beautiful and peaceful. The view from the bedroom window down onto High Street was nice and you could stand there are view the action below. The apartment was very well equipped and everything you need is provided for. There are plenty of guides and reading material on Edinburgh and Scotland to give you a pretty good idea of what you can do and see, using the apratment as your base. The only caution is to be prepared for the stairs leading up to the unit. If you have a lot of luggage, you will find yourself quite winded by the time you get everything up there. But it's worth the struggle. And be prepared to hear music from the pubs on the street below well into the night on weekends which are the reasons for the 4-star rating instead of 5-stars. Response: What a professional review! You're right it's a great location for anyone wishing to visit Edinburgh who wants to get around and see all that it has to offer. It's all on the doorstep. Although I agree the stairs can be a bit of a no go for the elderly and/or infirm but then its very hard to find a city centre self catering apartment in the heart of things with a lift. Thanks for a great review. Haste ye back. Colin
