About this property

Ideal for groups performing or visiting for the Edinburgh Festival: walking distance from all the venues, yet hidden in a beautiful, quiet area away from the busyness.

The front door is paces from the famous mountain in Edinburgh's centre. The back windows look at the sea and Portobello Beach which is also 20 minutes walk away. The house is light and airy and comfortably furnished. Towels, sheets and pillowcases are all new and white. Lots of Free Parking spaces outside.

Perfect for large group

Ten of us stayed here for a week during the Fringe Festival. It’s in a quiet neighborhood, a 30-40 minute walk through the lovely Holyrood Park to get to the Fringe. Grocery shopping is about a 15 minute walk away as are restaurants. Jean, our host was responsive, helpful and easy to work with. Would definitely recommend this property!

About the host

Hosted by Jean Fraser

I am an author and a publisher and I know Edinburgh very well. I was born here and went to University here. This is our much loved family home during school times and we rent it out for holidays.

Why they chose this property

This house is ideally positioned for a holiday during the busy month of August. Be close enough to the hustle and bustle of the Fringe Festival, but nestled away in a quiet, green residential area. It is on the edge of Arthur's Seat, the famous mountain in the middle of Edinburgh, and a short walk from all the historical sights such as Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle. You can see Portobello beach from the windows, a lively promenade and sandy beach just a short walk away. The road at the bottom of the street leads you out to the many beaches on the coastal routes in East Lothian, to Mussleburgh, Gullane and North Berwick. It is a short drive, or there are many buses that take you there. Waverley train station is just off the Royal Mile and will take you further afield to explore!

What makes this property unique

You get mountain walks, sandy beaches and a bustling city centre all in one. You have access to world class theatres and concert halls during the famous Edinburgh Festival. It is not far from St Andrews for the Golf Open and there are many golf courses in Edinburgh itself. Hogmanay (New Year) is a time of festivities all over the city.
