A one-bedroom self-catering apartment on Edinburgh’s Royal Mile, in the middle of the Old Town. It’s on the second floor of a traditional tenement in Bailie Fyfe’s Close, High Street, and sleeps two, or up to four with the sofa bed and a camp bed.
If you want accommodation right on the Royal Mile, you can’t be much closer. Pubs, cafés and restaurants are a minute’s walk away. Edinburgh Castle, St Giles’ Cathedral, The Real Mary King’s Close, the Palace of Holyroodhouse and the Scottish Parliament are all along the same street. Waverley Station, the open-top tour buses and the shops on Princes Street are within easy walking distance.
* Inside the apartment *
The living room and kitchen share one bright space. The kitchen has an oven, microwave, coffee machine and washing machine, and the lounge has TV with Freeview, a DVD player and free Wi-Fi. The bedroom has a double bed, and the shower room is off the hall. The lounge sofa bed sleeps one more guest, and a single camp bed is available for a fourth. Behind the building there’s a shared patio with views north across the city.
* Families *
A travel cot and high chair are available. Please bring your own bedding for the cot.
* Around the Old Town *
There’s a small convenience store at the top of St Mary’s Street, and another a short walk up the Royal Mile. The nearest public car park is the NCP on Holyrood Road, about 400 m away. Further afield, the Royal Yacht Britannia is moored at Ocean Terminal in Leith. St Andrews, Loch Ness and the Highlands make good day trips.
* Good to know *
The Royal Mile is lively, especially at weekends and during the Festival, so expect some street noise at night. The apartment is up an internal staircase, and there’s no lift.
