Previously owner-occupier of two beautifully renovated guest houses and a 4* 18 bedroom Georgian boutique hotel in central Edinburgh with bar and restaurant; very experienced and managing guest services, housekeeping and concierge support to the most exacting of standards to ensure I deliver service excellence throughout your stay. When not running the apartment business I love to spend time with Angus our Cockapoo, tending the large gardens, cooking and entertaining for family and friends and travelling the world with my husband James.
Situated in the quiet residential neighbourhood of Newington, close to open green spaces and parks, a number of excellent high quality bars, restaurants and cafes. Delis, supermarkets, bakeries etc all within walking distance as is the Royal Mile, Edinburgh Castle, Holyrood Palace and Park, Arthur Seat & Salisbury Craggs, Edinburgh University and the Meadows. The Festival Theatre, Queens Hall and Kings Hall are nearby for cultural events and SummerHall is a super spot for enjoying their own Pickering's Gin and Barneys Beer.
