2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

This is a wonderful, spacious, traditional seaside townhouse, built at a time when wealthy Edinburgh families also bought a house by the sea in order to cool off on those hot summer days.

Laid out over 3 floors, the wide staircases are a feature, particularly the winding staircase between the first and second floors (note; they're a bit too wide for standard stair gates, so may not be ideal for young children). The Living Room is positioned on the first floor, as was the norm for the time, with 3 large windows that let the light stream in. From the top floor there are views over the roof tops to Arthur's Seat from the front and across the Firth of Forth to Fife at the rear.

The house offers 4 bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, a WC on each floor, full gas central heating, high pressure hot water system, Primary Bedroom with ensuite, WiFi, Smart TV, travel cot, high chair, iron and ironing board, hair dryers, linen and towels. Hopefully everything you need!

Very welcoming home on 3 levels. Was beautifully decorated with quirks and style but also very well kitted out in the kitchen. Great heating, hot water, relaxing lounge, great kitchen and comfy beds with lovely white linens.

The house was great! We loved the second floor sitting room and the proximity to the beach. There was a delicious bakery very close by. Our flight was very delayed and we didn't arrive at the house until much later than anticipated and Patrick was very responsive to our plight. The only drawback to the house might be the parking but we used public transportation and didn't pick up our rental vehicle until the day we left,

This house is just fantastic! Very comfortable and spacious, and good public transport. Walking distance to Leith. Parking is tricky but you don't really need a car as everything is on your doorstep. Would not hesitate to stay again.
