5 star stay in a beautiful city.

Everything was as promised by Scott. Flat was spacious with all the mod cons and creature comforts. A great place to relax after exploring the city. Scott our host went out of his way to ensure we had a great experience even acting as postman when we left train tickets behind... thanks again 👌. Have no hesitation in booking this trendy and comfortable flat.

Flat-out Awesome!

We stayed at the Garden Flat to celebrate our 20th anniversary and we are so glad that we did. Let’s start off with location. Located in New Town just north of the park it’s in a quiet, residential area which is great for relaxing after a busy day of sightseeing. It is, however, perfectly located within a 1-2 minute walk is a supermarket, 2 coffee shops, 2 restaurants and a great wine bar! St. Andrew’s square is a 10 minute walk and it’s about a 15 minute walk to the Royal Mile where we also picked up our bus tours. As for the flat itself, modern, warm and comfortable. The bed is super comfy and the showers have great water pressure and plenty of hot water. Plenty of closet space as well. The living room/kitchen/dining room is great and they have plenty of USB outlets for your charging needs. One awesome bonus is the garden patio. We were busy most days with tourist stuff but managed to spend some time outside. It is so nice to have this place to escape to after a crazy day of tourist stuff. Scott is super friendly and very helpful. There are plenty of instructions for the place which is very helpful coming in from another country (US). Thanks for the great stay. We will be staying here the next time we come to Edinburgh!

Excellent flat

We loved the Garden Flat in New Town! The space was modern, well appointed and clean. Yoga was done in the private, spacious garden. The location was excellent and very walkable to pubs and all of the best things to do in Edinburgh. Highly recommend!

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.
