Apartment
By Royal Mile is a four star apartment housed within a Grade B listed
building - the oldest building in St. Mary's Street. The apartment is
ideally situated just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's medieval Old Town
& approximately half way between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace.
Waverley Train Station, airport bus stances & Princes Street - with its many shops and extensive gardens, are five minutes away and half a mile down the Royal Mile is the new Scottish Parliament & Dynamic Earth with Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags beyond, from which there are wonderful panoramic views of the city and beyond.
Many places of interest are within walking distance of the apartment, while others can be reached by excellent public transport links or via a tempting range of coach tours. The apartment Four Star grading is awarded annually by Visit Scotland and they have also been awarded a Green Tourism Business Scheme Gold Award.
Situated on the fourth floor of this 250 year old listed building, the apartment has been refurbished to a high standard and offers comfortable, central, self-catering accommodation for two people in the bedroom, with the option of a larger than double sized, very comfortable sofa bed in the sitting room.
The apartment is very well equipped, a recent addition to the facilities being wireless internet access for which there is no charge. The apartment is ideally situated for those embarking on family history research as it is within comfortable walking distance of New Register House, the Scottish Genealogy Society Library & Family History Center, National Library and Central Library and having successfully completed Visit Scotland's Ancestral Tourism course, Janet is happy to offer advice and information regarding family history research.
