Pilrig House – The Park Apartment (Sleeps 4 max. Min. 3-night stay) Our lovely two-bedroom apartment, within an A-Listed, 17th-century Scottish Townhouse (built in 1638), has a distinguished history and a wonderful literary connection with Robert Louis Stevenson – one of Scotland’s most acclaimed authors (please see our website for the full history and other information). The apartment is uniquely located in a tranquil park, yet is only a 15-minute stroll, or 5 minutes by bus (there is a frequent bus service nearby) to Edinburgh’s city centre and all the main attractions: Edinburgh Castle, The Royal Mile, Holyrood Palace, Calton Hill, Arthur’s Seat, The National Gallery, Edinburgh’s Botanical Gardens, The Scottish Parliament…. It is also within walking distance of the ‘Shore’ area of Edinburgh – once a bustling port, now a fashionable waterside location with great restaurants and interesting shops and galleries – and, where The Royal Yacht Britannia is berthed. The interior of the apartment is extremely comfortable and has a beautiful mix of antique and modern furnishings, comprising: a spacious living-room with oak flooring, real flame-effect fire, designated dining area and recessed window seat with delightful views of the park; two bedrooms – one single, one double, both with park views and fully carpeted and equipped with hairdryers, alarm clock, adjustable heaters; a fully-equipped kitchen with all the utensils you will require; and, a luxurious, fully tiled bathroom with modern fittings, shower over the bath/shower-screen, heated towel rail and shaver point. Guests have exclusive use of the house’s sweeping Palladian staircase entrance, at the top of which are double oak doors and a small seating area – a wonderful south-facing suntrap overlooking the park, perfect for sipping a glass of wine and watching the world drift by – especially after busy days’ sightseeing! You can also enjoy the private gardens, including a Regency garden offering secluded seating areas and which is teeming with wildlife – birds, squirrels, and, where the resident fox sometimes makes an appearance… a lovely peaceful area, away from traffic noise. Unusual for a city centre rental, guests also have an allocated parking space in a private car park to the rear of the house. Included in the price: bedlinen, towels, utilities (heating and electricity), fruit bowl, fresh flowers, chocolates, mineral water, refreshment tray, luxury Scottish toiletries, a full Welcome Pack and up-to-date tourist information file, telephone for making local calls and receiving incoming calls, Pilrig House stationery and postcards, a selection of books, children’s books, Edinburgh guidebooks and street maps, games, DVDs, CDs & Videos, and may other thoughtful extras.
