2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

This is a wonderful, spacious, traditional seaside townhouse, built at a time when wealthy Edinburgh families also bought a house by the sea in order to cool off on those hot summer days.

Laid out over 3 floors, the wide staircases are a feature, particularly the winding staircase between the first and second floors (note; they're a bit too wide for standard stair gates, so may not be ideal for young children). The Living Room is positioned on the first floor, as was the norm for the time, with 3 large windows that let the light stream in. From the top floor there are views over the roof tops to Arthur's Seat from the front and across the Firth of Forth to Fife at the rear.

The house offers 4 bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, a WC on each floor, full gas central heating, high pressure hot water system, Primary Bedroom with ensuite, WiFi, Smart TV, travel cot, high chair, iron and ironing board, hair dryers, linen and towels. Hopefully everything you need!

Lovely stay
Lovely house, very clean and tidy. We were there at the weekend and it was sunny and warm, so it was very busy but still managed to park fairly close to the house. Comms and access arrangements were very good. Would certainly use again.

This property is in an excellent location. A block from beach, a block from High st., and 3 miles from Edinburgh center. Easy access to bus system. Property was perfect for adult family with plenty of space. Host communicated very well. Highly recommend this location.

Fabulous house near the beach
The house was absolutely perfect for our group, very clean, beautifully decorated and a really comfortable home from home. Close to some nice pubs, restaurants and lovely beach cafes. The bus stop into the city was close by but it’s also a lovely walk in via Holyrood park. The only downside is we didn’t stay long enough!

Victorian Fun
My family (seven of us between 5 and 70) stayed here and loved it. Plenty of room so we weren’t on top of each other. The living room is amazing with the large windows and very comfortable furniture. Would’ve loved a whisky with the fire going, but it was a little bit too warm for us. A 2-3 minute walk to the bus stop for Edinburgh, the beach and a Co-op grocery store as well as restaurants. I could see parking being a concern, but also realized that Patrick offered to give suggestions (and we found a place nearby anyway). Lovely home and highly recommended.
