Personal welcome on arrival… unique, quirky interior with warm and cosy Scottish ambience. A blend of vintage and retro... artsy and contemporary. Lounge overlooks lively Grassmarket… bedroom enjoys tranquil garden with castle view.
Born in Scotland, a qualified graphic and interior designer, I have worked with various travel and lifestyle magazines. Our close family love travel and experiencing worldwide cultures. I enjoy yoga, meditation, reading and the outdoor life.
Historic gallows, cobbled streets… Grassmarket hosts an array of outdoor street cafes, bars and restaurants together with abundant specialist artisan stores. Weekend street market. “Granny Green’s Steps” provide direct access to Edinburgh castle.
