This ground floor apartment is a beautifully renovated apartment in Historic 16th century close. Whitehorse Close is tucked away at the foot of the Royal Mile close to the Scottish Parliament building and Holyrood Palace. Reminiscent of a different age this picturesque group of buildings was once the Royal Stables and subsequently the site of a coaching inn where the celebrated Dr Johnson stayed at the start of his voyage to the Hebrides. Today’s visitor can stay in rather more comfort in this ground floor two bedroom apartment which sleeps 4-6 visitors. Edinburgh’s major tourist attractions are a short walk away making this an ideal base for those wishing to make the most of their time in the city.

Rooms radiate off an entrance hallway. The large kitchen which is furnished with attractive fitted units has a welcoming atmosphere. There is an oven and hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and microwave. A good sized dining table seats six in comfort making this a pleasant environment in which to enjoy a convivial meal together.

Both bedrooms are of generous proportions and have beds which can be made up as twins or super kings on request. Plenty of cupboard space is available.

An attractive living room has a sofa (which opens into a double bed) and comfortable armchairs grouped around a fireplace with an over mantel mirror. A TV with a DVD player has been provided make this a pleasant room in which to relax. Should visitors wish to partake of a meal in more formal surroundings there is a second dining area in this room.

A newly refurbished bathroom, which is lined with eye-catching Italian sealed stone, has a bath with a shower over and w.c. and wash hand basin
