Loved my trip to Edinburgh and a big reason for this is because of the Apartment by Castle! The shops, restaurants/pubs and tour buses are very close and easily accessible (the Royal Mile is just around the corner or up the stairs depending on which side you're coming from/going to). And since it's located next to Edinburgh Castle, the rooms... more

We instantly felt confortable and welcome in this very well-appointed and roomy restored appartment looking out towards the castle! Everything that you could possibly want is here...the combo washer/dryer was a little challenging but everything else was simple to use. The hosts were genuinely nice people...we liked them instantly. One word of warning, make certain that you make your reservation... more

We started our trip in Edinburgh and booked the newer Apartment by the Castle, which is across the street from the original one that is still available for renting as well. Our hosts were delightful, were there to great us when we arrived, helped us settle into the apartment, and gave us tips about the surrounding area. The apartment itself... more

Extremely friendly owner that met us (she stood in the door when we arrived). Nice and clean, great view. Just some steps down to the grassmarket, a small walk to the royal mile, great view to the castle. What more could we wish for? Well - go to restaurant NUMBER ONE in Edinburgh. It's worth every penny! more

Angela from Ontario, Canada. In January 2009 I had the great good fortune to spend two weeks in this lovely apartment. To wake up each morning & look out onto Edinburgh Castle was thrilling. I found the apartment beautifully decorated with so many period details maintained. It was also spotlessly clean. Everything I needed was in the kitchen and I... more

flawless!

I honestly could not fault our stay at the apartment by castle. We stayed there for 3 nights last week. After reading a selection of the reviews prior to booking, my expectations were very high and i can honestly say that they were exceeded. The level of service that the Bowmans provide is absolutely exceptional and i have never experienced... more

My family of 5 had the good fortune of staying 3 nights at Apartment By Castle during a recky trip of potential universities for my daughter. From the moment I first contacted the owner Moira Bowman, to her last email advisory on weather and directions before I left home (Kuala Lumpur) for Edinburgh , I was anticipating only the best... more

Fantastic location with lovely views of Edinburgh Castle. This apartment is only two minutes from the castle and the Royal Mile. it was very comfortable and cosy, a home from home. Apart from being well equiped for all our needs this modern apartment still maintained the original architectural design of the property. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly... more

So sorry its... more

What a great place to stay in Edinburgh. I thought it was amazing to see that the pictures on the website matched the property exactly! We were met by the owner when we arrived. She had a lovely basket of food with fresh milk, cheese, bread and orange juice in the fridge. This was really a nice treat, and we... more
