A Wee Dram

At the foot of the Royal Mile, just a five-minute stroll away from Holyrood Palace, you'll find this slick apartment that's perfectly set up for city living. It's a modern space – contrasting with the winding, historic streets outside – where you can settle down on the buttery soft leather sofa and enjoy a nip of whisky between your adventures. The smart grey sideboard opens up to reveal a small kitchen, ideal for preparing a quick bowl of porridge before heading out, and your hosts are on hand to provide hotel-level services during your stay. A wander up the Royal Mile will lead you to imposing Edinburgh Castle in just over ten minutes, where you can walk in the footsteps of Scotland's ancient kings and queens. Or, take a hike up nearby Arthur's Seat for the very best views over the city – you won't be disappointed.

Home truths:
*While bath towels are provided, there's no washing machine so you may want to bring a spare set
*There is no space for cars at this home, so you'll need to find a parking space on the street or in a car park if you're bringing a vehicle
*This home is on the third floor of the building, and it does not have a lift – so it might not be suitable for those with limited mobility
*The kitchen is very small, so it is best suited to preparing simple meals
*As this home has a smart lock, you'll check yourself in upon arrival. There is no reception here.
