Everything about our stay in the Garden Flat was perfect. The Flat is beautiful and walking distance to most Edinburgh attractions. Host was very accommodating and accessible and provided a detailed written guide to the Flat and the area. We especially appreciated the personal restaurant recommendations provided in the host’s guide which were spot on. Highly recommend this property!

GREAT place to stay in Edinburgh

This is a terrific place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. Easy walk to most places we wanted to go, with lots of things to do close by. Owners took meticulous care to make sure place was ready for us when we arrived and gave us a TON of helpful information to make our stay great! Highly recommend staying here. :)

So this flat is amazing. We loved everything about it: two bedrooms with king size beds, two bathrooms, modern upscale kitchen and the outdoor patio. We visited Edinburgh with family to see the Fringe, Tattoo and all the amazing sights around town. The kitchen was fully equipped to handle cooking needs for four adults and dinners out on the patio were so enjoyable. Most events we saw were about a 15 minute walk away or less so getting around was very easy. Don’t hesitate, book this flat and look forward to a great trip!

What an amazing place

We had the best time staying at Scott and Marion’s beautiful, historic yet modern garden flat. The location can’t be beaten, so many places to visit short walking distance. The kitchen/living room with large doors that open to garden is hard to beat. The bedrooms and bathrooms all excellent you could want for nothing more. Scott was a pleasure to deal with we all can’t recommend the garden flat highly enough.

About the host

Hosted by Scott Gibson

Host profile image

My wife and I have lived in Edinburgh for over 30 years now. We have 6 'twenty something' year old 'children' and have lived in our Town House in Northumberland Street for almost 9 years now. Most of the 'children' have now left home and so we decided to convert the Garden Flat into a completely self contained property suitable for holiday/business lets. It is stunning and is the sort of place that we would want to rent if we were visiting a capital city ourselves. We would like to think we have thought of most things which will help make your stay comfortable and special. We even have an available garaged car space nearby for an additional charge if you wish to take your car with you to allow you to explore further afield.

Why they chose this property

The property is quite unique for the letting market in Edinburgh in that it also has it's own private and self contained gardens at both the front and the rear of the property, as well as a garaged car space nearby (for a small additional charge). This architect designed garden, which has also recently been redeveloped is accessed directly from the kitchen/dining/living areas via large glazed double doors onto a stone patio area. Outside tables and chairs as well as bench seating are provided for private guest use as is a gas BBQ (gas supplied). The garden is lit too so can be used in the evenings. While we do not condone nor encourage or even allow smoking in the property, smokers are welcome to use the front or back garden areas for smoking. We ask that guests refrain from using the garden after 11pm at night as sound travels and we do not want to disturb our neighbours

What makes this property unique

Open plan living/dining/kitchen area with stunning outlook onto a recently redeveloped contemporary garden, and all in the heart of the City within walking distance of all of edinburgh's unique attractions. 2 large bedrooms, one with a Hypnos SuperKing bed which can split into two twin beds, one with a Hypnos King bed plus a new JayBe put-me-up suitable for a child, and a cot. All windows are double glazed.

We also have an available garage space nearby which can be leased at an additional cost for the duration of your visit.
