Our beautiful old Merchant's House apartment on Gayfield Square- what can we say? We reckon you'll never want to leave! It's safely located just next to the police station overlooking Edinburgh's historic Gayfield Square. The apartment is in fact the whole ground floor of an original Georgian house (dating back to around 1800) with private front and back garden. It feels like being in a country house but in the middle of the city. 2 double bedrooms/2 bathrooms- sleeps up to 4 people very comfortably. It's also a stone's throw from the fashionable Broughton Street, the Playhouse Theatre and about 5-7 minutes walk from Princes Street. From there the castle and Royal Mile are close by.

On-street parking just outside (max 4 hours parking with ticket: Monday- Friday, weekends free) or a short walk from the edge of the parking zone (24 hours free parking- about a 10-minute walk or less). Our best advice is that unless you are doing out of town day trips, DON'T rent a car whilst here- you won't need it since everything is easily walkable (there are also good car rental options close by for when you are departing the city- just ask!)!

Free wifi internet access.

Non-smoking throughout.

Welcome food hamper on request - no need to run to the corner shop for a pint of milk when you arrive! (Please just ask for a quote depending on size and your preferences.)

All bed-linen and towels supplied along with welcome soaps and shampoo.
