We visit Edinburgh for the festival every August. This year we had the pleasure of staying at the Apartment by Castle...and now we've found it, we won't be staying anywhere else in the future! The apartment is ideally located in the Old Town, within walking distance of all the major sights, with the castle literally 'on your doorstep' and visible... more

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Apartment in the run-up to the Edinburgh festival. We had made the booking last year and Moira kept in contact at various intervals to confirm arrangements. The Apartment is perfectly located, adjacent to the castle and a flight of steps away from the Royal Mile. The accommodation itself has everything you... more

This apartment is wonderful with a 'commanding view'! My family (3 of us) stayed here for 4 nights in July 08. The owners, Moira and her husband, could not have been more accomodating! The living room was comfy with a nice TV and DVD with some DVD's, books, tour guides etc. The two bedrooms, also, faced the castle and were... more

Not only does the historical apartment have the most magical view of Edinburgh Castle, (so close you don’t want to roll out of bed too quickly or you’ll be in the grounds!), but the owners are also the friendliest most helpful people you will meet in Scotland. Thank you Moira and Eric for giving us such a warm welcome and... more

Our stay in Edinburgh was absolutely fantastic, in no small part due to Moira and Eric - the most amazing hosts. They did everything you might expect and so much more, from dropping everything to drive across town to let us in when we turned up early, to allowing us to park our car at their house at no charge... more

I had done alot of research and reading of reviews before booking with the Apartment by Castle. I really couldn't get over all the positive comments. All I can say is, "All the reviews are true !!" We stayed here for 10 days and couldn't have wished a more perfect apartment or location. It definitely exceeded all our expectations. Moira... more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this fabulous place to stay. Moira and Eric are great hosts, and the amenities in the apartment are top notch. The location is amazing - perfect for a history lover! The Bowmans did everything possible to accomodate our requests - advice prior to our arrival about sightseeing, early check-in for the morning arrival... more

Stunned by the location - even if you see the pictures online, once you are there, you realize that you are right in the center of town. Downhill to the Grassmarket (with great restaurants and pubs) and uphill to the Royal Mile (castle, museums, etc.). Loved watching the light on the castle change throughout the day - could have easily... more
