Our
spacious and elegantly furnished, self catering Edinburgh holiday apartment
is situated in Borthwick's Close on the Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh's
historic old town, only a few hundred yards from St Giles' Cathedral and
the Mercat Cross which marks the centre of the City. It's been awarded four stars by the Scottish Tourist board, signifying the level of comfort and amenities.
The flat is on the
second floor of a seventeenth century tenement, directly behind the Festival
Fringe Office. It has been refurbished to a high standard, but still retains
many traditional features including wooden window shutters, window seats,
high ceilings and plaster cornices. We've tried to complement the character
of Edinburgh as a World Heritage Site.
Accommodation consists
of an entrance hall, double bedroom, single/twin bedroom, bathroom,
kitchen and light, spacious lounge with a view to the East over Salisbury
Crags. We've furnished it with everything you'll need to feel as if
it's home from home. Its central location is within easy walking distance
of Edinburgh's most famous attractions, with Edinburgh Castle at one
end of the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace at the other. Less than
five minutes walk from Waverley Station, Edinburgh's tour bus stand
and Princes Street, it provides the perfect location from which to
explore this charming City.
For the business traveller,
visiting academic, or those who bring their laptop or PDA with them, we've
installed an Ethernet Internet connection and a Wi-Fi
certified 802.11b wireless access point giving you free, unlimited
2MB broadband Internet access for the duration of your stay. It makes
it a very attractive alternative to the usual Edinburgh
Hotel. |

What
to do in Edinburgh
There's
always something to do in Edinburgh. It's not just a City steeped
in history, although there's plenty of that about, but is famous
for its festivals and knowing how to have a good time. It's a very
compact and friendly city that lets you walk or hop on a bus to
savour its delights.
Literary
Edinburgh
Edinburgh is
full of stories and characters. Real life has seen the drama of
Mary Queen of Scots, the Stuart Kings, Deacon Brodie and the bodysnatchers
Burke and Hare. You can still walk around the same streets that
they trod, or follow the fictional characters they inspired, such
as Robert Louis Stevenson's Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde or more recently
Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus. A range of guided tours will open
up the literary side of the City, or you can explore yourself, following
your favourite novels through the wynds and alleys.
Festivals
The festival
year starts with Hogmanay, which has been hailed as the "Best
Festival in the World". The atmosphere continues throughout
the year with the Science Festival, Jazz Festival, International
and Fringe Festivals amongst others. We listed all we know on our
Events Calendar.
Use this and our List
of Edinburgh Web Links to help plan your stay in the City.
Further
Afield
It's quick to
get out from the centre if you want to explore further afield. Whether
you're looking to try a range of golf courses, or a have a penchant
for activity holidays in the surrounding Lothian countryside, a
base in the centre of Edinburgh is an ideal place from which to
explore.
