The Old Schoolhouse @ Dean Village

Located in Dean Village, this apartment has an enviable location; only 5 minutes walk from the city centre yet situated in a tranquil setting.

This apartment seems a world away from the busy city centre and provides guests with the chance to base themselves in a quiet, pretty area, yet only have a short stroll to the city. Dean Village nestles beneath Thomas Telford's famous Dean Bridge and is an intoxicating blend of old and new architecture. The area has a bit of a storybook feel with bridges, cobbled winding pathways and quirky old buildings overlooking the Water of Leith.

This contemporary yet quirky ground floor apartment forms part of a conversion of a former primary school, built in 1875. It has two bedrooms (one ensuite) and mezzanine living area above the kitchen. At ground level the kitchen, with all mod cons is flooded with light with its large windows and high ceilings. The mezzanine living area has comfortable sofa suite (with double sofabed) and flat screen TV. There is a Blu Ray DVD player and surround sound system.

Also at ground level is the first bedroom with ziplink beds and ensuite stand alone shower. There is a toilet at ground level too. Downstairs is situated a bathroom (bath with hand held shower) and the second bedroom with a double bed. The property is delightfully decorated and furnished to give a modern yet homely feel.

Guests can enjoy the complimentary Scottish toiletries and welcome pack which includes; fair trade tea and filter coffee, biscuits and chocolates.

A delightful area to explore with the Water of Leith on your doorstep. Walk along the Water of Leith towards nearby Stockbridge (with its own village feel and many bars and restaurants) and you'll come across St Bernard's Well with its faux temple. Or, if you head in the other direction, you are just a short walk from the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Dean Gallery.

We reserve the right to vet any group booking. This apartment is not suitable for stag parties, hen parties or young single sex groups. Whilst we welcome younger people, one member of the booking party must be over 25yrs. Strictly non smoking.

Please note that while the entry to the apartment is at ground level, there are 2 sets of rather steep, unguarded stairs down to the second bedroom and up to the mezzanine living room. This property is not recommended for small children or people with mobility problems due to stairs.

Also although the city centre is just a few minutes walk, it is a short uphill walk to begin with.
