“Excellent location for tourist attractions”

Superb family accommodation a minutes walk from the Royal Mile, our family of 5 had a really comfortable stay & it made a nice change to be able to leave the car securely parked up and be within walking distance of the castle and all attractions, made our short stay perfect. Excellent assistance & advice from Liz between booking and arrival, & a warm welcome.
Could not have hoped for better *****

“A home away from home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2011
2
people found this review helpful

This was our first trip to Edinburgh and our first time renting a flat versus hotel accomodations. We were a bit nervous but Trip Advisor reviews were so positive. We needn't have been worried -- the flat lived up to our expectations and more. The location is perfect and the flat was clean and had all the comforts of home. After long days of sightseeing, we could enjoy the comfrots of the flat and recharge for the next day. Having the flexibility to cook in or eat out is terrific. But the thing that sets this experience apart from others is the personal touch of Liz and her son Sean. Before even getting to Ediburgh, Liz's helpful hints, cheerful emails and warmth were very welcome. This continued throughout our stay and Sean was available to greet us so we could park our car and start our sightseeing. Shortbread cookies and Cava in the fridge were lovely touches. We will be back and highly recommend the Atholl Brae Royal Mile flat. Thank you Liz and Sean!!

Hello Gabriella Z
Thanks so much for this lovely review!
The jump between a hotel and self-catering can be scary, I know - but there's so much more flexibility, as you say! And you really don't need to compromise on comfort - the apartment is a bit like a Mega-suite in a 4 star hotel - in an ideal location.
Personal touch is what we aim for - we try to keep our guests happy before and during their stay and will happily help plan your stay in advance.
We'll look forward to meeting you when you return to Edinburgh.
All the very best
Liz & Sean

“Lovely flat, good location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 September 2011

person found this review helpful

This is a very nice flat that is centrally located. We were able to walk to it from the train station and to walk to every attraction. Liz, the owner, provided very helpful advice at every step.

The kitchen, living room and bathrooms are nicely sized, but the bedrooms are rather small and cannot fit a dresser or your suitcases (although there is a closet). We ended up leaving the larger cases in the living room. All in all a very good experience though, highly recommend.

Hi Emily C
Thanks a lot for taking the time to write this review.
We try hard to keep our guests happy from before they book until they leave - providing advice and support.
I'm sorry you found storing the cases tricky, we'd usually put them under the beds - all of them are open. And, although there's no dressers, there's lots of hanging space and either drawers or shelves in each bedroom. There's a huge lovely mirror in the bathroom for making-up.
Thanks a lot for your custom and recommendation - when you come back to Edinburgh, come back to Atholl Brae!

This is a really lovely flat just a few minutes walk from the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Expect a really warm welcome from the owners and a lovely clean and smart flat.

“Fantastic central apartment.”

We've got nothing but good things to say about Atholl Brae apartment and its owners who we had the pleasure of meeting. Modern amenities, spotlessly clean and luxurious just off the Royal Mile. Secure underground parking. Comfortable beds, briiliant attention to detail with board games for kids and a handy file containing plenty of local information about sightseeing, restaurants etc. Thoroughly recommended and we will definitely stay here again.
