2 Bedroom Apartment in Colinton, Edinburgh

Lovey historic 2-bedroom apartment with parking, originally the home of James Gillespie and built in 1773. Situated in Colinton Village, a conservation village and childhood home of poet, Robert Louis Stevenson. Our apartment is quietly nestled in a beautiful park on the banks of The Water of Leith. A truly peaceful haven only 20 minutes by bus or car to Edinburgh city centre and 15 minutes from Edinburgh Airport.
The building was originally a 17th century mill building and was incorporated in 1773 into an Adam-style mansion which was the home of snuff manufacturer and philanthropist, James Gillespie. Converted into separate apartments some years ago, our apartment is on the upper ground floor and entered via a dual aspect staircase which faces the park.
There are two generous sized bedrooms, each with a comfortable super-king size bed which can be split into twin beds if necessary. One bedroom also has an additional single stowaway bed. There are wardrobes for storage. The living room has a double aspect window overlooking the park. The kitchen includes electric cooker, fridge, freezer and washing machine. This room can accommodate dining for four and also overlooks the park where you can hear The Water of Leith running close by. There is an internal bathroom with electric shower.
The apartment is perfect for anyone seeking peace, quiet and relaxation whilst being only 20 minutes from the city. There is free parking at the property. Colinton Village has a small selection of shops, pubs and restaurants and is just a few minutes walk away.

Summary: The flat is lovely and very well kept. Very comfy beds! It had everything we needed for our trip to our native Edinburgh. The location in the Dell was so peaceful and well placed for the village amenities as well as buses into the city.. After a busy day out in the city it was great to get back to the peace and quiet the flat offers. Our host was awesome and quickly answered when contacted. This will be our first choice for future trips ! Anne🇨🇦

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay in Colinton. The apartment was perfect, very clean, very comfortable, bright and elegant, quiet and located in such lovely settings! The beds were big and super comfy! The apartment had everything we needed. (if you're very tall you might find the ceiling a bit low in the shower but that wasn't a problem for us! ) We had two children with us so the proximity with the park was perfect. If we come back to Edinburgh we'll definitely stay there again.

Beds were amazingly comfortable and warm - didn’t want to get up in AM but amazing places to walk and visit close by. Great easy buses to city center. Can’t wait to come back and visit!
