On arrival, we were welcomed by the lovely Erika, who gave us a tour of the grand suit ‘The Robertson’ which was a stunning suit!! luxurious in every way, with a huge bedroom Space, separate kitchen & Bathroom area!
Personal touches were fantastic, with the most beautiful hand wash & lotion, with the matching shampoo & conditioner & body wash.
Erika had even provided the same brand of bubble bath so we could enjoy a nice relaxing bath after a long day walking in Edinburgh.
The fresh bread went down a treat, also provided fresh milk & plenty of tea & coffee.
Excellent location, really cosy vibes and all in all a wonderful experience. Would highly recommend & will most certainly return
Lee & Sharon
I want to gatekeep this review - this was such a fantastic stay. The Townhouse is fantastic! Such great attention to detail and Alexander/Erika were so good at communicating with me; proactive and timely always.
The room itself was large, spacious and so well appointed. Mattress was comfortable, the little kitchen perfect, the bathroom large and plush towels.
Location is fantastic in Leith - close to so many cafes/restaurants and the beach is a 10minute bus ride or a 40mins walk.
Couldn't fault this place even if I tried. Wonderful place and I will be back again!
