Exceptional location and accommodations. The room was excellent and situated perfectly for exploring. Being adjacent to the Palace of Holyroodhouse and a short walk from Holyrood Park makes this an ideal base for a family stay. Highly recommended for its proximity to key historic sites.
Excellent location by Hollyrood Palace. Well equipped kitchen. Larger bathroom than most of our lodgings. Although space was limited for 3 people, it worked. Two of us used a large bathtub in a room adjacent to the bathroom to organize luggage. Excellent king bed.

Charming place, right outside the Holyrood Palace. Clean and modern, no lift had to carry luggage up 3 flight of stairs. The building fire alarm is very sensitive. Close to Tesco express.
The unique property really is excellent. Very old but with updated amenities. The garden behind property is beautiful. The only big problem was very poor wifi (like brutal) and connectivity using your own data plan. Loved the property but likely wouldn’t stay there again as it was just far too difficult to access online resources etc
Absolutely lovely place to stay with great amenities. I'd recommend to anyone!

The space was lovely and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay very much!
The only challenge was that we could not turn on any heat in the living room area and it was a little chilly.
