Inchkeith View receives glowing feedback for its stunning sea views, cleanliness, and comfortable, well-equipped interiors. Guests appreciate the peaceful location with excellent transport links to Edinburgh city centre and nearby restaurants. The property is praised for its thoughtful touches and homely feel, making it ideal for both short breaks and longer stays. While the communal entrance and bins are occasionally mentioned as less appealing, the positives far outweigh any minor drawbacks, with many guests eager to return.
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, tidy, and well-presented. Only rare mentions of communal areas being less clean, but these do not affect the flat itself.
Guests love the peaceful waterfront setting, proximity to public transport, and easy access to Edinburgh’s attractions. Some note it is a little outside the city centre, but most see this as a positive for tranquillity.
The flat is repeatedly described as comfortable, with high-quality beds, a spacious sofa, and a relaxing atmosphere. Guests feel at home and well-rested during their stay.
The apartment is praised for being well-equipped, with a modern kitchen, washer/dryer, and good amenities. Minor suggestions include more hooks and occasional maintenance issues, but overall facilities are excellent.
Guests appreciate thoughtful touches such as tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits on arrival, as well as helpful communication from the owners. Please note that these gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Right on the south bank of the Firth of Forth, this second floor apartment has the balance of enjoying a fantastic location on the edge of the city centre and enjoying a frankly stunning view over the water towards Inchkeith Island and the Kingdom of Fife. Completely updated in 2022 the apartment is stylish, comfortable and will prove to be an excellent base for whatever the reason for your visit to Scotland’s capital city.
The living room will be enjoyed through your trip whether it be relaxing in front of a movie with a glass of your favourite beverage or simply enjoying the view of the ships or the scenery. The view can also be enjoyed while dining. The kitchen is well-appointed with branded appliances including a dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and fridge/freezer with the expected crockery, utensils and glassware for almost any occasion. The owners have designed the kitchen and the rest of the apartment for that matter with the guest experience at the forefront of their mission. Both bedrooms have been professionally interior designed and provide one double room with a kingsize bed and one with twin beds. Completing the accommodation is the shower room with a large walk-in shower.
The location of the property is just over two miles from Princes Street in the centre of town, around two and a half miles to the castle so for those who enjoy a walk, the architecture and sights you’ll stumble across, not to mention the shops, cafes, bars and restaurants will undoubtedly tempt you. There is a plethora of bars and restaurants within a 15-minute walk from the apartment. Around a mile and a half along the coast to the east, an eight minute direct bus, number 17, from outside the apartment, is the Port of Leith where the formal Royal Yacht is moored. Again this is an enjoyable walk where you get a sense of how life used to be in this part of town. There are numerous bars and restaurants including a few Michelin Star eateries which can be found in this part of the city. There are buses outside the apartment which is a direct line to Edinburgh airport also buses into the city centre.
When the tide is out and if the weather suits then just across the road and to the west, only a few hundred yards is Wardie Bay, regarded as one of Edinburgh’s best secret beaches. It is small, however it is perfect for sitting enjoying the sun on a summer’s day, maybe enjoying some fish ’n’ chips or an ice cream. Whatever the reason for your trip, whatever your styles and tastes, whatever it is that you may be into then this fabulous city has something for all and this beautiful apartment is no doubt a superb place to base yourself.

Everything you could ever want from a stay in Leith is here. Great views, great amenities and a great flat. Number 16 bus stop outside will take you into centre of the city.

Great location for trips into Edinburgh with added bonus of a sea view. Nice light and well maintained apartment. Street parking was not a problem and managed to park right outside.

Apartment was lovely. A great base for going into the city, with bus stops to the centre very close! Was very clean and had everything that we needed. The owner was very friendly and emailed me with all the information in the morning of our first day. Great view from the apartment and a great area to stay in, with lots of local pubs and restaurants with amazing food. And views of the water and sunset from them. It was a great price for 4 people, and I would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you so much!
