Fuchsia Bloom in Edinburgh, Edinburgh and the Lothians

Fuchsia Bloom Self-Catering

With its pink velvet accents and eclectic trappings, this home breathes a new lease of life into Edinburgh’s Old Town. The open living space is a contemporary blend of contrasting tones and textures, illuminated by large sash windows that overlook the bustling Grassmarket. The bedrooms are equally as bold with dramatic slicks of black and depictions of Buddha to add a touch of zen. After a full Scottish breakfast at the dining nook, head out into the historic streets. You’re a five-minute walk to Edinburgh Castle and eight minutes to the iconic Royal Mile and spooky Real Mary King's Close, hidden beneath the city. When it’s time for dinner, you’ll find yourself within touching distance of a multitude of options. From inventive plant-based menus to classic fish and chip spots (you can get a deep-fried mars bar from Castle Rock opposite your building), if one thing’s for certain, you won’t go hungry here.

*There’s a sofa bed in the living space which can accommodate two more guests for an additional fee – ask your host for more details when booking
