Guests say

Inchkeith View receives high praise for its stunning sea views, spacious and tastefully decorated interiors, and excellent transport links into Edinburgh. Guests consistently mention the property’s cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen, making it feel like a home away from home. The peaceful location, close to restaurants and attractions, is appreciated, as is the helpful communication from the owners. Some minor issues were noted with the communal entrance and occasional parking difficulties, but these do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience.

Cleanliness is frequently highlighted, with guests describing the property as spotless, very clean, and well-presented. Only one review mentioned an issue with the communal entrance and bins, but this did not affect the apartment itself.

The location is highly rated for its sea views, proximity to public transport, and easy access to both the city centre and local amenities. A few guests noted it is a little outside the city, but appreciated the quieter setting and good transport links.

Guests consistently mention comfortable beds, a spacious sofa, and a relaxing atmosphere. The apartment is described as warm, airy, and homely. One review mentioned the property being too hot, but this was an isolated incident.

The flat is praised for being well-equipped, with a functional kitchen, washer/dryer, and quality towels and bedding. Some guests suggested more hooks for coats and noted occasional maintenance issues (thermostat, shower temperature), but these were rare.

Guests appreciated thoughtful touches such as tea, coffee, milk, and biscuits on arrival, as well as helpful information provided by the owners. Please note that these welcome gifts are not guaranteed for every stay.

Gas central heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included.. On road parking. No smoking.. Sometimes we come across a real gem of a property and this is one of them! 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 cleverly positioned, raised table and chairs means that 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 numeroius 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.

    Lovely flat with beautiful view. Spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds. Good shower. Well equipped. Feels homely. A little bit out of town but the bus stop and tram stop are close with frequent services to the city centre. Would definitely book again.
