Luxury 3-Bedroom Royal Mile Apartment, Perfect for Edinburgh Exploration

Experience the Heart of Edinburgh from Our Stunning Royal Mile Apartment

Welcome to our beautiful apartment, located in one of the most enviable locations in Edinburgh. Situated at the corner of the world-famous Royal Mile and Cranston Street, this apartment offers a prime position in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. With breathtaking views of the Royal Mile from every room, you’ll be immersed in the vibrant atmosphere of Scotland’s capital while having easy access to its rich history, culture, and modern attractions.

Unbeatable Location for Your Edinburgh Adventure.

The apartment is perfectly located, offering the best of both worlds—historic charm and modern convenience. Just steps from your doorstep, you’ll find yourself on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s most iconic street. This bustling thoroughfare is lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, bars, and historic sites, making it the ideal place to explore on foot. The apartment offers views both up and down the Royal Mile, allowing you to take in the stunning architecture and energy of Edinburgh.

From the apartment, you are only a short stroll from some of Edinburgh’s most famous landmarks, including Edinburgh Castle, which sits at the top of the Royal Mile. The castle is one of Scotland’s most popular tourist attractions, offering rich history, stunning views, and fascinating exhibits. Continuing along the Royal Mile, you’ll reach the Palace of Holyroodhouse, the official residence of the Queen in Scotland. Other nearby attractions include St Giles’ Cathedral, The National Museum of Scotland, and The Scottish Parliament—all within easy walking distance.

Modern Comfort in a Historic Setting.

Our apartment is designed to offer you a comfortable and spacious retreat in the heart of Edinburgh. The apartment features three lovely bedrooms—one double room and two twin rooms. Both of the twin rooms can easily be converted into king-size beds for added comfort (please request this upon booking). One of the twin rooms also includes its own ensuite shower room, providing extra convenience for your stay.

The apartment’s open-plan living area includes a cosy lounge with ample seating, perfect for relaxing after a day of sightseeing. Whether you’re unwinding with a movie or planning your next adventure, the lounge provides a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchen allows you to prepare meals at home, though you’ll find a wide range of fantastic restaurants just outside your door if you prefer to dine out.

Convenience and Comfort.

The apartment offers all the modern amenities you need for a relaxing stay, including high-speed Wi-Fi, a smart TV, and central heating to ensure a cozy environment throughout your visit. With the ability to comfortably accommodate up to six guests, our apartment is perfect for families, friends, or small groups looking to explore Edinburgh in style.

New Attractions and Local Highlights.

One of the most exciting additions to the area is the Edinburgh Gin Distillery, which has recently opened just 100 yards from the apartment! A fantastic experience for visitors, the distillery offers guided tours and tastings where you can learn about the distillation process and sample some of the finest gins in Scotland. It’s a must-visit for any gin lover, and it’s so close to the apartment, making it a perfect way to spend an afternoon.

In addition to the distillery, the Royal Mile is full of things to see and do. Take a stroll down to The Real Mary King’s Close, a hidden historic street beneath the Royal Mile that offers a fascinating glimpse into Edinburgh’s past. Or, if you’re a fan of Scottish whisky, visit The Scotch Whisky Experience, where you can learn about and taste Scotland’s national drink.

For those who enjoy shopping, Victoria Street—just a short walk from the apartment—offers a unique selection of boutique stores, quirky shops, and cafes. Grassmarket, located just below the Royal Mile, is another vibrant area filled with independent shops and lively pubs, perfect for an evening out.

Access to Edinburgh’s Best.

Getting around Edinburgh is easy from our apartment. Waverley Train Station, the city’s main train hub, is just a 5-minute walk away, making it easy to travel to other parts of Scotland or the UK. Additionally, the Edinburgh Bus Station is nearby, with frequent services to various parts of the city and beyond. If you’re driving, the apartment is centrally located, with parking available nearby, though we recommend using public transport as much as possible to fully experience Edinburgh.

Whether you’re here for the history, the culture, or simply to explore, our apartment offers the perfect base to make your Edinburgh experience unforgettable.

Great location!

This property was perfect for walking around Edinburgh. Yes, it is in the heart of the city so it has traffic and construction noise and yes, it is in a old building so the stairs with suitcases can be a challenge if you have mobility issues, BUT it is a very nice space that is comfortable and it easily accommodated our family of 5 adults.

Edinburgh

The apartment comfortably accommodated the 6 of us. It's on the Royal Mile so all the major sites were within walking distance. It's also a short walk from Waverly Station and lots of restaurants nearby. Might be a problem for the elderly, as the apartment is at the top of 2 flights of steep stairs !

Great location

The location is fantastic! Quick walk to the castle or palace or meeting points for tours. Easily accommodated our 5 adults. The stairs can be tricky as it is on the 2nd floor (which means 2 up from the ground level). It can feel like a lot when you have walked the city all day. But that did not stop us from enjoying it.

Great location on the Royal Mile

Great property located right on the Royal Mile that has a very convenient little grocery market right below it that helps with those food items that you always need! The host was so communicative and a pleasure to work with and the apartment itself was perfect for our group and the 2 days we stayed in Edinburgh! Great restaurants and shopping just steps away from where your staying. If you have a car to park, there is a garage a couple of blocks away that you can pay to use and it's an easy walk back to the location! Would absolutely stay here again!

Perfectly Situated

Very entertaining spot to be staying. Overlooks the most iconic intersection in all of Edinburgh! Quite an upstairs trek but, worth the views! Jon is a very caring host. Could probably use a few more special touches in the kitchen for overall convenience. Lovely apartment and not too loud after the bars close. I would recommend this apartment and Jon as a great host.
