About this property

Edinburgh Art Deco city centre apartment. Beautifully presented home-from-home

Learmonth Court is an elegant art deco mansion, set back in a quiet private road within landscaped gardens. It has the security of a resident caretaker and has lifts to the apartment, which enjoys amazing views from its 4th floor location. Perfectly situated, it is a 15 minute walk to the start of the attractions at the West End of Princes Street, a 5 minute walk to the local Waitrose supermarket and a 2 minute walk to the local restaurant and bar. It is regarded as a home from home by our guests who have rated it 5 stars and have come back year after year, loving the comfy beds, the sofas dressed with plump cushions and throws, and the well equipped kitchen. Our guests tell us how they love sitting at the bay window after a hard day's sightseeing, enjoying the view over the roof tops to the stunning Fettes college and beyond to the Kingdom of Fife. Then, enjoying a peaceful night sleep in one of the 2 double bedrooms (one of which can be made up as a twin) with its fresh white bed linen. We have now completely renovated the bathroom and kitchen, which features a twin oven and ceramic hob, along with integrated fridge, freezer, washer/dryer, and dishwasher. Overall, the apartment is furnished to a high standard with wireless broadband just another feature in the all inclusive price shown. All-in-all, you will find the apartment very comfortable - a real home from home.
We welcome you and we are certain you will enjoy your stay!

Stylish and convenient

This rental is very conveniently located for access to Edinburgh. It is within easy strolling distance of the city, and also the Botanical Gardens (which are wonderful - and free). The host provided all the information we could possibly want and was very responsive to enquiries. The apartment is spacious and stylish - with its Art Deco theme. Edinburgh has a lot to offer, but even more than Edinburgh itself we really liked Stockbridge with its park and river, its artisan shops and great pubs. The Stockbridge Tap is a must-visit pub if you like a good pint. If you are cheese lover you *absolutely must* visit George Mewes Cheese Shop in the Stockbridge. Absolutely fantastic cheese from a friendly and well-informed owner. We fully recommend this rental - and Stockbridge!

Beautiful flat

A cozy, warm and festive flat greeted us after a long drive. The kitchen had everything and more that you could need including a dishwasher. The bedrooms were clean and the bed linens were beautiful and the beds very comfortable. The flat is in a beautiful part of the city and only a comfortable 10-15 minute walk to Princes street. There is a bus stop within 5 minutes too if you prefer. The flat is exactly like the photos and diacription and we will definitely be returning. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas holiday, one to remember.

Excellent flat in a good location

The flat is very smart, spacious and well-equipped with parking outside. The location is a short walk to Edinburgh centre in one direction and Stockbridge in the other, and is also not far from the Royal Botanic Gardens . Euan and Avril were very helpful and communicative before and during our stay. We'd definitely stay there again and recommend it highly.

What makes this property unique

The view looking north over Edinburgh onto Fettes College, and then on further to the hills of Fife, are wonderful. In addition to that, the city centre is so accessible, either by foot (15 minutes) or by using one of the very frequent buses that stop just 3 minutes away from the apartment.
