Carlton House
About the home

This comfortable one bedroom apartment within Carlton House has recently been refurbished and furnished.

The Edinburgh / Lothians / Edinburgh/Midlothian region


Edinburgh is steeped in history and as well as providing a city break location, it is also ideally situated for excursions to the beaches and golf courses of East Lothian and Fife.
The city is famous for its Georgian architecture, its open spaces and also its festivals, notably the world's largest arts festival in August and Hogmanay at New Year.
The cosmopolitan feel of the city owes its thanks to its foreign visitors, university students and of course the local residents.
The Edinburgh / Edinburgh New Town area
A walking tour of Edinburgh's architectural highlights starts on your doorstep and should go on to include the Royal Mile and the Scottish Parliament which are both within a very short distance.
The Playhouse Theatre which stages the latest musicals and shows is a 5 min. walk away and Harvey Nichols and John Lewis department stores are also within 5-10 mins. walk. Add another 5 mins. walk and you'll reach the shopping district of Princes Street and George Street.
Calton Hill, situated just behind Carlton Terrace is a must for any visit to Edinburgh as it offers fine views of the city and across to Fife and East Lothian. Holyrood Park with Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags are also within easy walking distance and here it is easy to forget you are in a city at all.

A quality furnished bright airy flat,centrally situated and convenient for many Festival venues.Whilst the two flights of stairs may be a challenge,the quiet aspect of the flat compensates.I would recommend it for two or three adults. Response: Many thanks for taking the time to review my property. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay. |
