Perfectly placed in Edinburgh’s New Town, this no-fuss apartment has the city’s best bits within easy reach. Poring over the works in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, just a ten-minute walk from your doorstep is an excellent way to start a morning. And when it’s time for elevenses, there’s a selection of trendy coffee houses on the other side of Queen Street Gardens. Shop along the famous Princes Street or take the twenty-minute amble up to the mighty Edinburgh Castle for a tour of the Great Hall and St Margaret’s Chapel. At the end of your jam-packed day, retreat to your homespun apartment for a relaxing evening with your loved ones. Get snug in the cosy living space as the appointed chef of your group whips up something tasty in the well-equipped kitchen. After an evening of swapping anecdotes over dinner and drinks, sink into the comfortable beds and drift off into a deep sleep.
