Bohemian Writers Retreat in Heart of The Old Town

We have a little slice of peace in the heart of Grassmarket, The Old Town. It is a writer's retreat, quiet and relaxing but just a stone's throw away from an abundance of the best bars and restaurants in the city.

It is our Western home when in the UK, and is a relaxing and simple space compiled with art and items from our fifty years of travel around the world, and somewhere you can feel totally relaxed.

The space
Our space is one double bedroom with large built in storage space. There is a living space in which you can relax with two day beds on either side, a writing desk, television with digi box. The windows are double glazed blocking out any noise from The Old Town. The kitchen is completely equipped for all you need, and the bathroom has just been refurbished with powerful overhead walk-in shower.

Emma G.

Good location, clean etc but smells damp
There was no street given after the name of the block of flats on the info, and the post code takes you somewhere 5 minutes away, so had to call to find my way. Could not get the entry code to the main gates to work but luckily as I was being guided by a guy on the phone anyway, got the right one). The smell of damp hits you as you open the door. Inside it’s clean and nice even if no bath mat and no curtain on the kitchen window which is right on main corridor to block. It’s also right on street level on the other side, so basically no privacy front or back unless close the curtains. Great location, it’s clean, and inside all is provided, but don’t think will be returning.
