Luxury Self-Catering Holiday Apartments
Royal Mile and Grassmarket, Edinburgh
Our self-catering holiday apartments are situated in Edinburgh's historic Royal Mile and the nearby Grassmarket, perfectly positioned to allow you to make the most of your visit to Scotland's capital city.
With streets steeped in history and a thriving cultural scene, a holiday in Edinburgh offers the perfect balance between all things traditional and contemporary. Edinburgh offers an abundance of things to see and do, not only within its own confines but also within the easily accessible surrounding areas of Lothian, Fife, Perthshire and Stirlingshire.
History is impossible to ignore as you walk between the tightly packed buildings and courtyards of Edinburgh Old Town. The Royal Mile forms the spine of the Old Town, running from Edinburgh Castle at the top to the gates of Holyrood Palace, and nowadays the Scottish Parliament, at its foot. Organised walking tours take you to some of the deepest hidden parts of the Old Town, where Edinburgh's gruesome past is brought to life. An open top vintage bus tour will help you see the magic of Edinburgh and all it has to offer.
You will find great restaurants, pubs and shops along the bustling Royal Mile and in the nearby Grassmarket, and there are always hidden pleasures to be found as you explore the historic closes and surrounding streets.
Edinburgh is sometimes called the City of Festivals. During the summer, it hosts the world famous International Festival and Edinburgh Fringe. Whether you are looking for formal concerts or are happy just watching the Fringe street artists and performers, you will always find something to keep you entertained. In August, the castle, which sits high above the Edinburgh skyline, is brought alive with the pipes and drums of the Edinburgh Military Tattoo.
Within a few minutes' walk of the medieval Old Town, the New Town offers a wealth of Georgian architecture and some great shopping opportunities ranging from large department stores to more specialised designer boutiques.
