“Two words - Stay Here!”
We stayed here for 6 nights over Hogmanay and it was fabulous. A family of four adults, we found the quarters were snug, to be sure, and our adult children are used to sharing a double bed when on holidays, so things were fine on that score. Everything in the apartment was in great working order - good stove, heating, washing machine, hot water, bathroom. The beds were comfy and the place has oodles of character and charm. The TV is old fashioned, but if you’ve come to Edinburgh to watch the telly then you probably need to reassess your priorities! The best thing is the location! Within walking distance of almost everything that matters in this city, all lanes and pathways lead back to Castle Snug. We loved it! The hosts, Brian and Christine, were helpful and very responsive. I recommend this place highly, as long as you remember that it is called ‘Snug’ for a reason!

“Just as good as befoer”
Love the location, tucked away from the Main Street, but in the heart of the city. The second time I have stayed there, loved every moment. So much to see and do, also so many places to eat and drink.… More
