    Beautiful place in Edinburgh that easily accommodated our large group. So nice to have individual suites with attached bathrooms too! Very nice modern accommodations, but there are some repairs and TLC needed from a maintenance perspective - broken blinds in a few rooms, plugged shower drain in one bathroom, also some essentials need to be restocked - ran out of trash bags, the nspresso pods provided don’t fit the non nspresso machine, no basic spices (salt, pepper), we didn’t get a welcome gift in the refrigerator as promised… some little things like that that could be better from an experience perspective. Also communication with host fell off completely during our stay, previous to that was good, so not sure what happened there. Otherwise, it was a wonderful place! Would stay again

    We were awakened by construction on the roof directly above us every morning. We asked the property manager to resolve it to no effect

    Very impressive property from the moment you step up to the door. Fabulous. Loved the welcome pack. Great space, all bedrooms en-suite. Easily accommodated our party of 8 (4 couples). Easy walking distance to tram, which was a breeze from the airport, but far enough from the centre in a quieter street.

    The property was perfect for our Hogmanay 2025 stay that included parents, 3 children and their spouses and a baby. Design and function were thoughtfully done and everything was in working order. Playing games in the evening by the fire and breakfasts around the big kitchen table were big hits. Jane is very responsive and helpful. Thanks for an amazing stay!

    The location of the propery is excellent, just a short walk from Calton Hill, Leith Walk and the St James Quarter. We booked the property for a week during the festival for a wedding. When we turned up at 5pm, we had to do some cleaning, removing nappies, lumps of hair and washing out mould from the bathroom bins and then we had to go out and buy toilet paper and hand soap for the bathrooms without them. It wasn't a great arrival experience and the next day, it felt like a joke apology, we recieved some doughnuts for two thirds of the party and a bottle of prosecco which didn't get drunk. There wasn't any washing up items either, so another early trip to the shop to get them. The king size beds were often pushed together singles too which felt a bit poorly advertised. Lastly, the downstairs toilet had holes in the wall and smelt of cavity wall, but we were just told in the email beforehand this was the way things were. For a lot of money spent for staying for a family wedding it was a poor experience, missing the basic considerations of a rental and I think if you're spending this amount of money then look for somewhere that's got the basic covered, then plus that something special which should be about the same price.

    What’s great property! Wow. Incredibly close to the main attractions, yet still quiet with accessible eateries and shopping. Across from Calton Hill and St. James Quarter. Plenty of space for 5 adults. En suites are a big bonus for privacy. Enjoyed the family areas to gather for a meal or movie, fireplace for mood. Will certainly visit this home again. Room downstairs avoided my in-laws from going up and down. Laundry/ extra downstairs toilet is spacious. Kitchen had the necessary to cook breakfast and dinners. Overall, a lovely property to admire and to recharge in.

    Pristine house with high ceilings and 5 FULL bedrooms with attached master baths. The walls and doors are thick so you cannot hear the other guests — this was perfect for our group as we were aged 2-78 and everyone was on different sleep schedules. Multiple playgrounds, groceries, coffee shops, and restaurants within close walking distance. 2 minute walk to the airport tram. Perfect place for groups to stay

    The lodging was at least as nice as advertised. Location was excellent in city center would definitely consider it again if I were traveling with a group requiring that many bedrooms and staying in Edinburgh.

    This house leant a real luxury feel to our stay in Edinburgh. Gorgeously appointed, it easily accommodated my family group of 7. Every bedroom has a large bed and en suite bathroom, and most of the bathrooms had heated floors. Conveniently located within walking distance of the Royal Mile, restaurants, and shopping. Loved it.

    A beautiful well-appointed house in a great location. Easy to walk around the city from here but bus and tram stops very nearby too. The house is gorgeous and felt like home the moment we arrived.

    This is the Tophat place for a reason. Great location, great spacious house, great hosts. We had 9 of us there for almost a week; youngest was 17 oldest was 80. The five bedrooms each with on-suite bathrooms were tastefully decorated and well appointed. We all felt the hose offered all that we needed for our large family.

    Nine friends from London/Kent/Essex in Edinburgh for a few days to celebrate some milestone birthdays. So impressed with this beautiful house, and it was perfect for our needs. Also a great location, we were able to walk to Arthur's Seat in about 15 mins. Cheap Ubers in and out of the main centre for our nightly escapades.
