About this property

Edinburgh Castle Hideaway, Lawnmarket, Royal Mile - 2 mins walk to the Castle!

  • Exceptional, main-door first-floor Georgian Apartment modernised and located right at the top of Edinburgh's Royal Mile, less than 2 minutes walk from Edinburgh Castle! Guests will love being so close to the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh's main tourist spot. This property has a 5 star rating on many booking platforms.

    You will not find self-catering accommodation closer to Edinburgh Castle with the nearby restaurants, bars and shops of Edinburgh's Royal Mile at the bottom of the stairs!

    The apartment is entered via a main door on to the Lawnmarket at the top of The Royal Mile which takes you into a private staircase up to the first floor. This apartment really is in the heart of Edinburgh's tourist district.

    It comprises modern kitchen/living room, bathroom with shower, additional shower room and separate WC. There are 4 bedrooms and the apartment comfortably sleeps 8 with space for an additional person on a fold down double sofa bed in one of the bedrooms. Sleeping arrangements as follows;

    -Master Double bedroom
    -2nd Double bedroom
    -3rd Double bedroom (with further double sofa bed although 4 people is a squeeze so better for 2-3 people)
    -Bunk bed room (2 single beds)

    We also have a luggage/wardrobe room so you can keep the bedrooms nice and clear. The open plan living room/kitchen offers a sociable space with views onto the Royal Mile, below.

    We provide: Bed Linen, Towels, Toilet Rolls

    Guest access to all areas

    During the Edinburgh Festival in August and Edinburgh's Hogmany celebrations The Lawnmarket is pedestrian access only which means carrying cases/bags 100 meters or so.
