There are lots of one-bedroom flats in Edinburgh, but the outdoor space is what really sets this one apart. This charming apartment has a cottage feel, thanks in part to its delightful private garden, as well as characterful touches like vintage furniture and stacks of books to browse. Located on the ground floor of a Grade II-listed building on historic Calton Hill, it’s within easy walking distance to Waverley Station and the Old Town. So whether you’re here to Cèilidh in the new year, catch a festival show or simply to visit the incredible castle, a stay here is perfect.
Home truths: *Although it's a ground floor flat, it's not suitable for wheelchair users as there are two flights of steps up to the front door
*The original fireplace looks grand but it’s out of commission, unfortunately
*The bedroom is on the smaller side
*Since the photoshoot, the furniture configuration has changed
*The shower pressure is weak and the water could be hotter
*The home may feel smaller than the pictures depict
*There is limited wardrobe space, this may not be suitable for longer stays
*As seen in the photos, the bed is against the wall – you can only walk around one side of it
