A luxury holiday apartment in Edinburgh with stunning castle views

Ramsay Gardens is one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious residential areas. Named for its inaugural resident, poet Alan Rlamsay, and built-in the mid-eighteenth century, the apartment block stands in the shadow of the Castle at the top of Edinburgh’s Royal Mile.

Interior layout

This third-floor luxury apartment is accessed via a closed stairwell, which leads to an open-air balcony and the front door. Inside, the apartment is finished to a high standard and has a beguiling mix of contemporary and traditional furnishings. The main living room has a large dining table with seating for eight at one end and a small three-piece suite at the other. The room boasts some of the most extensive and dramatic views available anywhere in Edinburgh, with its decor lending the feeling of a captain’s cabin in an old wooden galleon.

The luxurious master bedroom boasts a king-size bed and plenty of storage space along with direct access to a fabulous en-suite bathroom equipped with a shower and stand-alone bathtub.

The two remaining bedrooms (one twin and one double, both of which also feature en-suite facilities) sit on the other side of the building and look across to Edinburgh’s Iconic Castle.

Finally, the fully-equipped kitchen is modern and features a range cooker so you can cook up a storm when all the eating out becomes a bit too much.

The comfortable sitting room is an ideal place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. Lavishly decorated in rich purple with velvet curtains and boutique-style wallpaper, it belies the historic nature of the building. The master bedroom shares the living room’s spectacular vista and is a cool, bright space. It features a skylight directly over the bed which can be opened or closed remotely… perfect for those lazy mornings in bed.
