We had the best time staying at Scott and Marion’s beautiful, historic yet modern garden flat. The location can’t be beaten, so many places to visit short walking distance. The kitchen/living room with large doors that open to garden is hard to beat. The bedrooms and bathrooms all excellent you could want for nothing more. Scott was a pleasure to deal with we all can’t recommend the garden flat highly enough.
What a great property. Everything was spotless and worked. The wood burner was amazing and very efficient. Shower was powerful. Overall one of the best rentals we have had.
Wonderful well-situated property in Newtown with all amenities for a great stay. Wish we could have spent more time relaxing in the property but just so much to see and do!
Beautifully appointed, comfort and convenience throughout. The very private outdoor courtyard provides exquisite space for unwinding after touring this magnificent city, and location is hard to beat. Host is attentive and responsive without being intrusive. A highlight of our two weeks in Scotland!
This is a terrific place to stay when visiting Edinburgh. Easy walk to most places we wanted to go, with lots of things to do close by. Owners took meticulous care to make sure place was ready for us when we arrived and gave us a TON of helpful information to make our stay great! Highly recommend staying here. :)
I recently had the pleasure of staying at this vacation rental in Edinburgh, and I can confidently say it exceeded my expectations. The location is truly outstanding—just far enough from the hustle and bustle of the city to enjoy some peace and quiet, yet close enough to walk to all the major attractions. From the moment I booked, the communication with the owner, Scott, was excellent. He was prompt in answering any questions and went above and beyond by providing invaluable recommendations for local restaurants and tour companies. His insights truly enhanced our experience in the city.The rental itself was a delight. It was impeccably clean and incredibly comfortable, making it a perfect home base for our adventures. I appreciated the thoughtful touches that made my stay even more enjoyable.Overall, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this vacation rental to anyone visiting Edinburgh. It offers the perfect blend of convenience, comfort, and charm. I can't wait to return!
Gorgeous flat in an amazing location. Scott was very responsive and helpful. Loved getting breakfast at Leo’s Beanery right down the street. Highly recommend! Would definitely stay here again.
Perfect location, quiet, comfortable from the heated floors in the bathroom to the heated towel racks and the fire place in the living to the beautiful garden…. Truly lovely place all around!
The flat is in the best possible location… a short walk to Princes St & the Royal Mile, but far enough away to really feel as you live on the cute, residential street. The flat itself is great— the kitchen & living room open wide to a private garden where you could grill and sit. The time of yr just didn’t accommodate that, so we’ll have to come back! Two good sized bathrooms and comfy beds. Little touches like local fudge, and a beautiful plaid wool throw. Highly recommend!
Very clean and all the amenities! Loved that they had a garage and washer and dryer! Scott responded quickly with any questions and offered a lot of suggestions for places to eat and things to do in the area. The kitchen was well stocked and a market is very close. Would definitely recommend!
Perfect! Very well furnished, comfortable beds, walkable and near brilliant restaurants. Host provided an extensive list of activities, restaurants and history of area. We ate at the end of the street at Little Capo and I can’t recommend it enough….little small so go early before prime time. We loved New Town area and Northumberland specifically. The historical nature of the unit with all the modern conveniences makes it a winner! We contacted our host several times prior to our stay and he was quick to reply and very helpful. I wish all listings could be this good. Thank you Scott. We look forward to staying again next year.
Great location for walking around Edinburgh and exploring sights, restaurants and pubs. Several good bakery/coffee shops nearby. Beautifully appointed flat. Extremely comfortable for our party of 4 adults. Nice and quiet at night so it was easy to get good sleep and get recharged for the next day. Highly recommend as a great spot to stay. Look forward to returning next year!
Scott's place looked like the pictures in the listing. Very nice, clean, and comfortable. Traveled with a couple of friends, and we all slept well in the comfortable beds. Perfect, walkable location. I was concerned about noise in New Town. but his place was very quiet and away from the main roads.
The Gibsons were lovely hosts. The entire process, communication, and the home were perfect for our needs. We will forever hold the memories of Edinburgh and the Garden Flat in our hearts
This property is just lovely and had everything we could possibly have needed. Edinburgh is especially busy at this time of year, and it was nice to be staying somewhere a little calmer and quiter, even though we were only a few streets back from Princes Street. Scott was a great host and let us drop our bags at the house when we arrived earlier in the day.
Everything you need is right there for you! Down the street or Up the street. The Flat was just plan perfect for us two couples. Coffee in the morning or wine in the evening we felt very comfortable after a great rest or a long day of site seeing. Washer and Dryer help us out a lot. Thank you!
The apartment was exactly as advertised. There are two grocery stores at each end of the block so you can get anything you need. The walk to the tram, station and any of the big tourist stuff is easy even with kids. Finally the host was mega responsive when we had questions.
Very comfortable and lovely attention to detail. The Christmas tree and Advent calender were nice additions.
The location was excellent. We would highly recommend staying here.
Scott was a great host and the apartment was spotless, modern and very quiet oasis very close to very posh stores and restaurants. Thanks for a perfect vacation.

About the host
Hosted by Scott Gibson
My wife and I have lived in Edinburgh for over 30 years now. We have 6 'twenty something' year old 'children' and have lived in our Town House in Northumberland Street for almost 9 years now. Most of the 'children' have now left home and so we decided to convert the Garden Flat into a completely self contained property suitable for holiday/business lets. It is stunning and is the sort of place that we would want to rent if we were visiting a capital city ourselves. We would like to think we have thought of most things which will help make your stay comfortable and special. We even have an available garaged car space nearby for an additional charge if you wish to take your car with you to allow you to explore further afield.
Why they chose this property
The property is quite unique for the letting market in Edinburgh in that it also has it's own private and self contained gardens at both the front and the rear of the property, as well as a garaged car space nearby (for a small additional charge). This architect designed garden, which has also recently been redeveloped is accessed directly from the kitchen/dining/living areas via large glazed double doors onto a stone patio area. Outside tables and chairs as well as bench seating are provided for private guest use as is a gas BBQ (gas supplied). The garden is lit too so can be used in the evenings. While we do not condone nor encourage or even allow smoking in the property, smokers are welcome to use the front or back garden areas for smoking. We ask that guests refrain from using the garden after 11pm at night as sound travels and we do not want to disturb our neighbours
What makes this property unique
Open plan living/dining/kitchen area with stunning outlook onto a recently redeveloped contemporary garden, and all in the heart of the City within walking distance of all of edinburgh's unique attractions. 2 large bedrooms, one with a Hypnos SuperKing bed which can split into two twin beds, one with a Hypnos King bed plus a new JayBe put-me-up suitable for a child, and a cot. All windows are double glazed.
We also have an available garage space nearby which can be leased at an additional cost for the duration of your visit.
