Caller Herrin

Sweeping coastal vistas steal the show at this Victorian waterfront apartment set in a quiet residential quarter fringing Edinburgh. While the décor is a tad dated, and the second bedroom is only really suitable for children, those sea views at sunset more than make up for that. When you're ready to stretch your legs, the beautifully landscaped Royal Botanic Garden and Edinburgh Old Town are a short drive away (also walkable if time is on your side). Or keep things local at Newhaven's little harbour with its picturesque lighthouse for sunset strolls and a fish supper.
