    I loved the whole set up of this! It was perfect as a solo traveller to come in and get cosy or to drop my things off and go to explore. I did have an issue with the “how to find us” email so ended up just wandering around trying to find the...

    Location is great. You don't need to take any bus to get somewhere. You are already in the heart of the city. In the morning you can hear some birds singing. The river flows and you can hear it too, which is brilliant. The apartment in itself...

Set in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic and bucolic Dean Village, your room offers an exclusive river view of the village. With a combination of rustic charm and modern comforts in a UNESCO World Heritage site location, this riverside property is a jewel in Edinburgh's crown. The Guest bedroom is set right beside the river with stunning views of the surrounding area, including the World Heritage location of Wells Court. The room includes a luxury Casper mattress, a desk, TV with free streaming services, free Wi-Fi and free Tea & Coffee. You will share access to the hallway and bathroom only with other guests. Despite this central and convenient location in Edinburgh, the picturesque district of Dean Village provides a quiet and tranquil environment with only the sound of flowing waters of the river to accompany you to ensure a good night’s sleep. CHECK-IN This is available from 3:00 PM; we do not offer Early Check-In. BATHROOM The bathroom & hallway spaces are shared with one other guest bedroom. HALLWAY & AMENITIES Guests will have shared access to the Number 10 Coffee Bar in the hallway with access to a refrigerator, microwave and toaster appliances.
When my husband and I moved to this beautiful location in the heart of the stunning surroundings of Edinburgh's Dean Village, we both wanted others to enjoy the unique combination of history, charm, comfort and centrally located convenience that this property offers.
Dean Village is a tranquil and picturesque district set right in the heart of Edinburgh, alongside the Water of Leith River. Guests who stay here adore the Old World charm, peaceful tranquility and proximity to Edinburgh's Old and New Town. The area is less only a short walk from numerous attractions and sites including Edinburgh Castle, the Museum of Scotland, the Royal Mile, Royal Botanic Gardens and Princes Street. There are bus, tram and rail links located a stone's throw from the property as well as Hire Bikes available. Edinburgh's Dean Village is steeped in history, first mentioned in King David I's founding charter of Holyrood Abbey, usually dated c.1145. The property itself was originally a mill until c1820 when it was converted into three residential flats by a builder, an architect and a financier. The area remained a separate village until the 19th century.
