Stunning.
This apartment was beautiful, location superb.
The decoration of a very high standard like a luxury hotel. The 2 bedrooms and bathrooms absolutely stunning!
We loved this beautiful apartment and wished it had not been a flying visit!
The cleanliness is immaculate and the overall feel is very warm and inviting!
We will return one day’ if you want a location with views and just off the Royal Mile this is wonderfully place!
Beautiful, highly recommended

Incredibly comfortable and luxurious with meticulous attention to detail and conscious efforts made to supply local products.
The location is ideal for city access yet safe and quiet in the grounds of Holyrood Palace.
The facilities were high tech and without a user manual which meant we struggled to use the oven and had no heating all week…

Amazing!
The location was beautiful, it’s right next to the palace. The apartment was so beautiful and well decorated. My children loved reading in the window seats. It was an excellent apartment with an excellent location. The communication was also really great. We received the code to enter early and they also helped with recommending a taxi service to the airport.

Quiet yet close
Great location, right at the end of the Royal Mile so you're close to everything but still in a quiet little spot. Beautiful garden and view of the crag overlooking the city. Very well appointed apartments, very clean. Overall our favourite place to stay while on our trip to the UK.

Location was absolutely incredible. Very comfortable and clean. Everymorning woke up overlooking Holyrood House. Stunning. Only problem was the 3 flights if spiral staircase that's one had to maneuver up and eventually down with larger suitcases. We were traveling for 15 days. Beyond that wonderful

The apartment was beautiful!! Clean, decorated lovely and functional.
The bathrobes provided were an extra nice.
The location was just perfect.
We went to breakfast about a quarter of a mile away.
Quiet, tucked away by the Holyrood house gardens, it was the perfect place to stay.
