Exterior

This is a main-door, ground-floor period property with its own private entrance, set within a handsome traditional Victorian stone building in the heart of Marchmont.

The surrounding streets are lined with classic Edinburgh architecture and offer easy access to local cafés, neighbourhood shops and acclaimed dining, including Michelin-starred restaurants within walking distance. Easy and convenient pedestrian routes towards the city centre and historic quarters make Marchmont one of our favourite residential areas in the capital.


Local Area

The Classic Marchmont Charm apartment is ideally located in a calm residential area, with lovely cafes and shops just around the corner. The Marchmont and Bruntsfield areas surround Spottiswoode Road, giving you the best access to the city either by foot or by bus. The Meadows and Bruntsfield Links just minutes away from the front door ensures the best opportunities for a fresh air wander or somewhere to kick around a ball, have a picnic, or just to sit on some of the lovely benches in the park reading your favourite book.

For things to do in the area, we recommend Looking Glass Books which is an easy walking distance away on Simpson Loan by Middle Meadow Walk. This ‘booktique’ café boasts its own lively literary scene with regular events and author talks. Perfect for bookworms and coffee enthusiasts. Another wonderful place to have your afternoon pick-me-up is the Pastures, just around the corner on Marchmont Crescent. Considered the focal point for the local community the Friday nights, where the owners Jane and Stan stage a range of fun events such as ‘come-dine-with-us’ and ‘grub ‘n’ games’, feature a continental-style dinner and plenty of laughs (BYOB is encouraged, another rare perk).

For a bit of a wander about, the Morningside area is not too far and is yet another great location for some alternative shopping and some lovely cafes, lunch nooks and ice cream crannies. The city centre is not far away either, and Grassmarket and Princes Street are both a bus ride away, and offer a wide array of entertainment and some of the best in the arts and culinary scenes.

We had a really lovely stay - the flat was in good condition, with all the amenities you'd expect. It's a great spot and, as we already knew Edinburgh well, a good location to walk to touristy spots and the university.

Nice place to stay with a family

The flat was very family friendly. The yard was a great hit with my 10 year old daughter. The lay out was good. There is a store a block away, coffee shops and parks. It’s a bit far to walk from city center but the area is really nice and quiet. It was a pleasant experience. The check in and check out was super quick and easy.

Perfect location for Edinburgh

The property is in a perfect location for exploring Edinburgh. Beds are super comfortable and having a garden attached to the property is a wonderful bonus. The only minor niggle would be the TV that uses a Amazon prime TV stick so you are unable to watch live TV on channel 4 or 5. But the TV stick does work perfectly.

Good experience, not perfect, but would recommend

Excellent Master bed, location provides easy access for coffee, wine, food, bus routes, parks and taxi, friendly neighbors and kid friendly shared garden area with cats, dogs and birds. Upholstered furniture is older and not very comfortable, especially the main couch in the sitting area. Unit smelled a bit from stale air, but remedied by leaving front and back doors open for a few minutes each time we arrived back from the city. Unit appeared very clean. Shower a bit challenging, but excellent water pressure and plenty of hot water. Tiny kitchen well organized and well stocked with equipment. We used this place to visit Edinburgh, but the location is equally well suited as a base for day trips into the countryside. Easy parking.

Appartement spacieux dans quartier paisible

Bon séjour ! Nous avons apprécié cet appartement spacieux dans ce quartier paisible, avec le charme de l'ancien. Un petit cadeau de bienvenue et quelques jeux pour les enfants auraient été apprécié pour se sentir encore mieux accueillis ! Une attention particulière serait de réaliser un nettoyage approfondi des tapis et rideaux, qui contenaient beaucoup d'acariens, et nous ont provoqué des allergies. Cela rendrait le séjour encore plus agréable !

Sehr netter aufmerksamer Kontakt, ideal für Familien, verkehrsgünstig und ruhig

Die Wohnung liegt in einem Wohnviertel ca. 20 Min zu Fuß von der Royal Mile und hat zwei Bus-Verbindungen 2 Fußweg Min. entfernt. Neben den 4 Betten (sleep 5) gibt es noch 2 Schlafsofas. Die Küche ist gut ausgestattet, der Esstisch reicht für 5. Für englische Verhältnisse eine großzügige Wohnung. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
