Located at the foot of the royal Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat, the Pollock Estate campus offers bed and breakfast accommodation during the University of Edinburgh's summer vacation. Each room on the campus features a free Wi-Fi, and shared laundry and pantry facilities. Some rooms also offer a TV and a safety deposit box. Linen and towels are provided in all the rooms. Pollock Estate is just 1.5 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and the historic Old Town, where guests can find the Royal Mile, the hub for many of Edinburgh’s festivals. In the mornings, an extensive breakfast is offered in the self-service restaurant at John McIntyre Conference Centre. This is just 5 minutes’ walk from the rooms. Further local amenities include a general shop and a dedicated 24-hour reception centre. "From 21st August, contractors will be on-site to complete essential pipework within the Pollock Estate, which may result in noise at times. We apologise for any disturbances this may cause. Access routes to certain buildings may be temporarily restricted but alternative walking routes will be clearly signposted. Contractors will be onsite between the hours of 8.30am – 5pm Monday to Friday. Thank you for your understanding and support as we work to maintain our infrastructure."
