“I loved my stay at the Brae. It was the perfect place to get over jet lag as I embarked on a one-month vacation of the U.K. It’s a couple of miles outside of town, and the bus to downtown stops right in front of the house, which was perfect. Very comfortable for sleeping. Having a bath tub to soak in after a day full of walking was heaven. Graeme was an extremely welcoming and informative host. Definitely recommend t

“The staff went above and beyond,everyone from the front desk,servers and cleaning staff. The food both breakfast and dinner was very delicious. I can't say enough,plus you're staying in a castle! The grounds too,stand and imagine years gone by and the history,magical!”
“The staff at the Abbey are excellent, by far the best part about the stay. Very friendly with each encounter and extremely accommodating. We had several bags with us, and they made our check-in and check-out much easier by going out of their way to support.

Thankfully someone could give us a bit of guidance (they were not particularly familiar) when we called for support and we eventually found our unit. Very nicely appointed and we had a great stay - a few added sentences to orienting folks for checkin could solve our issue!”
“Wir haben vier Nächte in diesem Apartment verbracht und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
Besonders positiv war die Kommunikation: Wir wurden mehrfach gefragt, ob alles passt und ob noch etwas verbessert werden kann – das haben wir selten so erlebt.
Die Lage ist unglaublich zentral. Royal Mile, Grassmarket und Castle sind alle zu Fuss in wenigen Minuten erreichbar. Dazu kommt eine tolle Aussicht.
Die Ausstattung hat uns überzeugt: sehr schöne Dusche, Seifen und alles, was man braucht, war……
“The property was well located in proximity to the centre. The parking was good right outside the property. The room was spacious, clean and well appointed.
On arrival I was greeted by the owner who was very approachable and helpful during my stay. Definitely visiting again.”
“The location is very convenient for a short stay to soak up the most of Edinburgh. The storage room is swifts. Do note that the building in the center of various construction so the traffic is nightmare, no taxi will stop in front of the building but you can manage with a short walk to Hilton crossed the road for hauling.”
