This was a great place to stay. The apartment was very clean and spacious and well stocked with nice little extras. The view was great as it overlooked a park and the area was quiet for being in the city. It was a convenient walk to both Leith and Edinburgh City Center, about 15 minutes. The beds were very cosy...

I have booked a lot of self catering apartments in Edinburgh over the years but this is far and away the best. Excellent location off Leith Walk, probably about a 20min walk into the City but there is a bus stop very close by that takes you to Prices St. The apartment forms part of an old building which has...

Additional Location Information
Edinburgh has been nominated as the "Best Place to Live in the UK" and, as listed in the Top 10 Travel Destinations, is recognised as one of the world's most beautiful and historic cities.

At Pilrig House, you are in the heart of the city just a 15-minute walk from Princes Street in the city centre and all of Edinburgh's main attractions. But, you'd be forgiven for thinking that you're in the middle of the Scottish countryside.

Why? To begin with, there's the greenery. People tell us that staying in Pilrig House is like staying on a country estate. And then there's the peace. Our parkland location is wonderfully tranquil, and the House's thick stone walls ensure that any noise has a long way to go before it disturbs your relaxation.

From Pilrig House, you are also a 10-minute walk from the fashionable Shore area of Leith on the waterfront - Edinburgh's historic port area, which boasts many recommended wine bars & restaurants on the waterfront, including two Michelin-star resta...
