Tea & Shortbread in Edinburgh, Edinburgh and the Lothians

Tea & Shortbread Self-Catering

If you can see yourself staying in a penthouse, then this home in Scotland's capital is the one for you. Step inside, and you'll find a wonderful open-plan living space that's perfect for socialising with your fellow guests. Your host will even leave a wee dram of whisky out, along with a selection of other tasty Scottish goodies, so you can toast to your arrival.

The interiors are crisp and sleek, making this the ideal place to kick back and relax between adventures. The apartment even has its very own terrace – a real luxury in the heart of the city – where you can admire the city views as you sip your morning coffee.

The West End location means that you're just eight minutes away from Haymarket Train Station, and bustling Lothian Road, with its shops and restaurants, is a similar distance away. A twenty-minute stroll will bring you to the iconic Edinburgh Castle and the top of the Royal Mile, where you can lose yourself in the winding streets of the old town.

And, when you return home, there are wonderfully comfortable beds waiting for you – expect a dreamy night's sleep here.

Home truths:
*The sofa bed has space to comfortably sleep one adult or two children
*This home has secure underground parking for one car – if you're bringing more than one vehicle, the host suggests you use the NCP car park at Castle Street
*The super king-size bed can be set up as two single beds if requested
*Your host asks that you keep any noise or disruption to a minimum to avoid disturbing the neighbours
*A travel cot and high chair can be provided if needed
*The dryer is a 2-in-1 washer-dryer; when running a long cycle the dryer does not work too well
