Old Town Heart
Just straddling the border of Broughton and Leith, this home is perfectly located between two neighbourhoods full of trendy restaurants, traditional pubs, and plenty of independent shops. A twenty-minute walk from the heart of the old city, Edinburgh Castle, the architecture of this area is distinctly New Town. In this striking row of Georgian buildings, a mint-green door stands out from the dark stonework, beckoning you inside. The theme is pure luxury and opulence. Thick, regal red curtains, ornate plaster cornicing, and a wood-burning stove bring warmth into the vast lounge. A trio of original sash windows usher natural light into the bright dining space, where you can sip wine until the private chef arrives – courtesy of your host. Traditional elements meet modern charm in this gorgeous home, which echoes the local area quite well. This part of Edinburgh city centre’s east end is a lively area of bars, clubs, a thriving LGBTQ+ scene...More Details
Tucked away in a quiet spot just off Edinburgh's Royal Mile, this apartment is simple and homely. We think it's a great choice for families due to the extra-flexible sleeping arrangements – the super king and king beds can be set up as four singles on request, and your host can provide a free cot and high chair for little ones. You'll have space to park in the garage, but you won't need a car here thanks to the fantastically central location. The vast Holyrood Park, along with Edinburgh's bustling Old Town and majestic castle, are an easy walk from your front door. *You'll have a free private designated garage space outside this home. Turning space is tight, so larger vehicles might struggle a bit here.*Your host can provide a free cot and high chair if you're travelling with little ones. You may need to request these in advance.*This home is on the first floor, and you may need to climb stairs to reach the entrance.*One of the beds he...More Details

In a lovely part of Stockbridge with plenty of shops and cafes just a short walk away, this townhouse feels like an excellent family home. The living room benefits from a big bay window and high ceilings, but is made to feel innately snug thanks to tartan chairs and faux-fur throws. The kitchen is remarkable in an entirely different way, with loads of space and a pretty professional set-up meaning it will appeal to any budding chef. Elsewhere, we like the stained glass windows in the bathroom inspired perhaps inspired by Charles Rennie Mackintosh — let's not go into his Glaswegian connection here — as well as the pleasantly landscaped garden with seating should the sunshine break through the clouds during your stay. If it doesn't, that's no bother because there's plenty to do nearby — the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is just over a quarter of an hour walk away, while the equally close by streets of Dean Village are a treat to...More Details

Located on a typically quaint street in Edinburgh's New Town, this apartment is in a great location, only a short walk away from the sights of Old Town, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and a huge range of cafes and shops to explore in the local area. The interior of this home feels homely and relaxed, sporting an earthy colour palette and high-quality soft furnishings. The mix of Georgian features and rustic vibes — tartan throws will never not be cosy in our eyes — work well with the natural light that pours in from the large windows and creates a great sense of space. The cherry on the cake is the spacious and dazzlingly white bathrooms, complete with a free-standing bathtub that's just the ticket for a long, restorative soak. *There's no elevator to reach this home on the second floor – those with limited mobility or heavy suitcases take note*The third bedroom has two single beds and would be best suited to children*You won't...More Details
