Great stay

Check in was easy and great instructions were given on getting to the property. Kitchen was well stocked and location was near many attractions/restaurants. Only thing I would mention is there are a good bit of stairs involved so not recommended for those with bad knees.

Great property, great location

Stayed with our extended family for 4 nights in January 2023. The apartment is amazing and location is absolutely perfect for exploring Edinburgh. Close to buses, shops and some great coffee shops, we could not have asked for more.

Beautiful location

Our stay at the Upper Villa was a perfect fit for our family. It had everything we needed and was very close to walk to all the attractions. Rona was also very attentive and helpful when we had questions. We would definitely return again. Thank you again for opening your home to us.

We have really enjoyed our stay at the upper villa! A lot of space for two grown ups and 6 teenagers, and a beautiful house. This was our first stay in Edinburgh, but not our last. Thank you!

Lovely property in ideal location

This is our second visit to Upper Villa. It's a great place for a get together with friends. The accommodation is clean, homely and spacious. It is in a lovely area close to local shops and restuarants but also walking distance to Princess Street. We will definitely be back.

Sensational house!

Absolutely gorgeous house that is on a quiet street, but still a short walk from the royal mile, Edinburgh castle, etc. We never needed our car while there, and if we didn’t feel like walking, there were bus stops close by. The house was beautiful, and I felt like royalty staying here. The hosts were so sweet and responsive, I will 100% stay here again if I return to Edinburgh!

Wonderful, fun, apartment!

We had a great time staying here and wished we could stay forever! We were a group of 2 couples and 2 singles so the size was absolutely perfect. We loved being within walking distance of so many shops and restaurants. Rona was so kind and left the kitchen stocked with the essentials of coffee, tea, milk bread and cheese, so great! The beds were big and comfortable, we were able to do laundry, played games in the living room and enjoyed warm showers with great water pressure. We would highly recommend this place, great price, great location and excellent hosts!

Guestbook Comment

This very cute apartment comfortably accomodated our party of six (3 adults and 3 teenagers). The rooms were smartly decorated, appliances are modern and we felt the layout was just right. We were able to get groceries nearby and also enjoyed eating out our first night. The owners were very gracious and friendly. We highly recommend this place and it will be our choice of stay when we return to Edinburgh.

Lovely location, great house, not so good for oldies

We really enjoyed our time at Comely Bank, the house is lovely, and the location is convenient for taxi-ing into central Edinburgh. It was restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. However, most of our party were 70+ years old, and the need to step in an out of the bath on the upper floor in order to take a shower was a bit of a concern, as there were no grab bars on the walls. This would make our party think twice about staying there again. But other than that, all was good!
