Built in the 1902 (as engraved on the building) this apartment is part of one of the smaller Scottish, stone built, tenement blocks. Whilst built in 1902, a modern apartment with full double glazing, gas central heating and radiators in every room awaits guests. Located on the first floor, the apartment has been fully refurbished (in 2005) and decorated to a high standard. The south facing aspect of the Sitting Room with its sofas and easy chairs and views over the local park towards the Pentland Hills provides a relaxing environment - ideal after a hard day sightseeing |
Our bright and stylish corner property is situated in Roseburn, approximately 1/2 mile from the centre of Historic Edinburgh.

However the following information is true of both.
Easy City Access
The apartments are situated one street back from one of the best bus routes in Edinburgh. Lothian buses operate daily from 6am until after 11pm and during the day buses run approximately every 6 minutes. Daily tickets are available and after 9.30am the price for adult tickets is reduced. Full details of bus numbers, routes and prices, together with the attractions they serve are provided in the apartments. (These are not listed here as prices and routes occasionally change.)

In both locations however, guests are highly recommended to leave their cars at the property if they are visiting the city centre; where parking is both limited and very expensive. A Parking Fine will cost about £30, and release of a vehicle, if you are towed, is in excess of £100.
