Superb family accommodation a minutes walk from the Royal Mile, our family of 5 had a really comfortable stay & it made a nice change to be able to leave the car securely parked up and be within walking distance of the castle and all attractions, made our short stay perfect. Excellent assistance & advice from Liz between booking and... More

This was our first trip to Edinburgh and our first time renting a flat versus hotel accomodations. We were a bit nervous but Trip Advisor reviews were so positive. We needn't have been worried -- the flat lived up to our expectations and more. The location is perfect and the flat was clean and had all the comforts of home.... More

Hello Gabriella Z Thanks so much for this lovely review! The jump between a hotel and self-catering can be scary, I know - but there's so much more flexibility, as you say! And you really don't need to compromise on comfort - the apartment is a bit like a Mega-suite in a 4 star hotel - in an ideal location.... More

This is a very nice flat that is centrally located. We were able to walk to it from the train station and to walk to every attraction. Liz, the owner, provided very helpful advice at every step. The kitchen, living room and bathrooms are nicely sized, but the bedrooms are rather small and cannot fit a dresser or your suitcases... More

Hi Emily C Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this review. We try hard to keep our guests happy from before they book until they leave - providing advice and support. I'm sorry you found storing the cases tricky, we'd usually put them under the beds - all of them are open. And, although there's no dressers,... More

This is a really lovely flat just a few minutes walk from the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Expect a really warm welcome from the owners and a lovely clean and smart flat. More

We've got nothing but good things to say about Atholl Brae apartment and its owners who we had the pleasure of meeting. Modern amenities, spotlessly clean and luxurious just off the Royal Mile. Secure underground parking. Comfortable beds, briiliant attention to detail with board games for kids and a handy file containing plenty of local information about sightseeing, restaurants etc....

This is a lovely flat in the heart of Edinburgh. The location is great (just off the Royal Mile) and so convenient to pop out and back again. The service is great. Friendly owner (who I spoke to) and I met her son in the apartment who showed me around and left me a bottle of Cava and some Shortbread... More

Thr appartment is very centrally located, but quiet,well equipped and furnished. We were two adults and four children, which made it less comfortable, becuase the opening sofa was in the living room, and as such made it less cossy. As a whole, we do recommend this place, and certainly will be back the next time we go to Edinburgh. More

Two couples visiting found spacious flat with two decent-size double bedrooms. Simple, uncluttered and well maintained. Most everything you are likely to need for a short stay. Easily accessible from Waverley Station rear exit, definitely not a pretty route, but don't be put off: for day to day back and forth, the short step to the bottom of the Royal... More

My 14 year old daughter and I stayed here for 3 nights in August, based on Trip Advisor reviews. We were not disappointed. The location is just fantastic - right off of the Royal Mile. Each day, we only had to walk outside of our building to be right in the action. We walked here from the train station (it... More
