Everywhere is just around the corner.
Edinburgh's self catering Castle Apartment is very central, situated in the Old Town of Scotland's capital. The holiday flat is in a newly renovated traditional stone-built tenement built in the 1850's. There is a magnificent view of Edinburgh Castle from the living room window.
It's a great home base for independent travel on a Scottish vacation. The warm and comfortable interior has been completely modernised this year including full gas central heating and a brand new kitchen.
Castle Apartment is in Edinburgh's Grassmarket, an area full of history. This large open square was the scene of public hangings, the Porteous Riots and the haunt of the notorious body snatchers, Burke and Hare.
There is a wonderful selection of specialist shops, pubs and restaurants on your doorstep and it is only a three-minute walk to the Edinburgh Royal Mile.
During the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe this lively area overflows with street performers, musicians and special events.
At the top of the Royal Mile is Edinburgh Castle and at the bottom is the Royal Palace of Holyrood and the stunning new Scottish Parliament building.
A peaceful extensive park, the Meadows, lies only a few minutes walk away from Castle Apartment.
Less than ten minutes walk away are four cinemas including the Cameo and the Filmhouse plus four theatres including the Traverse Theatre and the Royal Lyceum Theatre.
There are parking bays in the centre of the Grassmarket and a large multi-storey car park is only 150m away at King Stable's Road. |
