We recent spent five nights at the Atholl Brae Royal Mile apartment in Edinburgh. The location was absolutely perfect for us just steps off The Royal Mile on a very quiet street. We loved the fact that we could return to OUR apartment after a day of sightseeing and enjoy fruit, cheese, bread, and wine without having to leave again... More

“Great spot, great value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 May 2012

Liz (owner) was exceptionally helpful when arranging our booking and generously allowed us to drop our bags off, even as the flat was being cleaned. After 30 hours' travel from Australia, we were very grateful. The location of the apartment is perfect - both convenient to all attractions, and very quiet. If your looking for comfort, look no further. There... More

Great location, great apartment. Very quiet despite being so close to the city centre. Secure parking space in the attached garage was a real bonus.

Thanks a lot for posting your review. We think the quiet location is one of the best points of the apartment, too. You are literally a stone's throw from the bustle of the Royal Mile, but because the entrance to the street is narrow - it comes though a historic tunnel, under the former Toll-house - there is very little...

Our recent visit to Edinburgh was a vacation we will never forget. Traveling with children can be difficult sometimes because hotels do not offer family rooms. This apartment was the logical choice for our family. It is in a convenient location with plenty of great places to eat nearby, as well as local markets where you can collect an assortment... More

Hello there Many thanks for taking the time to post this review. I'm glad you enjoyed your time in the apartment and in Edinburgh. We've been fans of self-catering for many years - we so agree that this is the logical choice for families - comfort, style and security. I hope you'll return to Edinburgh - when you do, please...

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... More

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.... More

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.... More

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... More

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,... More

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....
