Let In Edinburgh

Pilrig House is an A-listed, 17th-century Scottish townhouse (built in 1638), with a distinguished history and a wonderful literary connection with Robert Louis Stevenson. The House is uniquely located in a tranquil park, yet it is only a 15-minute stroll or 5 minutes by bus to Edinburgh's city centre and all the main attractions. Guests can also enjoy the private gardens, which offer secluded seating areas and are teeming with wildlife.

Our lovely Garden Apartment, as the name suggests, is sited at garden level, and has views from both the living-room and bedroom – of the park and gardens. The apartment is sunny, comfortable, beautifully decorated and, as one of our guests said, 'is made for relaxation'.

The double Bedroom has a wardrobe with wooden hangers, chest of drawers, full-length mirror, bedside cabinets and reading lamps, large armchair in recessed cottage-window space overlooking the garden, overhead dimmer lighting, controllable electric heating.

The living-room has a lovely Persian rug over oak flooring, real flame-effect fire, double sofa (which is also a pull-out sofa-bed), two armchairs with extended leg rests, dining-table and chairs, small table and reading lamps.

The fully-tiled bathroom has a bath with shower and glass shower-screen over bath, heated towel-rail, electric shaver point.

The well-equipped kitchen has a tiled floor, porcelain 'Belfast' sink and wooden worktops, two deep-recessed country cottage-style windows, fridge, freezer, microwave, hob, oven, dishwasher, clothes washer/dryer, coffee-maker and all the modern utensils you will require.
