Located in the heart of South Queensferry, one of Scotland’s most picturesque coastal towns, this unique 17th-century townhouse offers a character-filled retreat with spectacular views of the iconic Forth Rail Bridge. Perfect for those seeking a blend of history, coastal charm, and easy access to Edinburgh’s vibrant dining scene - including Michelin-starred restaurants - this home is an excellent choice for food lovers, families, and special getaways. Just minutes from waterfront cafés, galleries, boat tours, and sandy beaches, the townhouse is also conveniently positioned for exploring Scotland’s rich heritage. Edinburgh is just 15 minutes away by train, while the airport is within easy reach by car or bus. We require names and ages of all guests, as well as proof of address and ID of the lead guest. This is required within 2 days of booking. We will require the lead guest to sign a copy of our terms and conditions. We reserve the right to vet any booking. Our properties are protected by Truvi (previously known as SuperHog), the digital trust platform that enables Hosts, Operators and Guests to confidently transact in the short-term rentals space. Please note that once you have booked, you will be contacted by Truvi directly to verify yourself and process a £250 deposit or £35 damage waiver. The damage deposit payment will incur a £10 fee. This Truvi verification must be completed two weeks prior to check-in. \- Important - This apartment is not suitable for stag parties, hen parties or young single sex groups or parties. Layout Set over three floors, this townhouse retains its original character while offering comfortable living spaces. The first floor features a spacious lounge and a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for home-cooked meals or relaxed evenings. Two inviting bedrooms provide a peaceful retreat, with one offering a small seating area and direct access to the garden. The second-floor bathroom, in keeping with the home’s historic charm, has an open-plan layout with a heavy curtain at the top of the stairs instead of a door. Guests should note that, while some parts of the 400-year-old property may feel naturally cool, this only adds to its authenticity. Home Truths: Private Yet Connected: While the townhouse is part of our residence, it is completely separate, ensuring your privacy. Separated by locked fire doors, you'll have no interaction with us unless there's an emergency. Enjoy your own private entrance and contactless access for a seamless experience. The private garden is exclusively yours to relax and unwind. Historic Charm: As a property over four centuries old, expect unique quirks that add to its character. The townhouse's distinctive features are sure to enhance your stay in this historic Scottish setting. Layout Considerations: The townhouse's quirky layout includes a bathroom without a door, which may not suit all guests. Additionally, with multiple stairs throughout, the property is not suitable for young children.

Embracing the local community's tranquillity ensures a pleasant stay for all.
