Our three lovely apartments - Park Apartment (2-bed/ sleeps 4 max); Garden Apartment (1-bed/sleeps 3 max); and Balfour Apartment (2-bed/sleeps 4 max) - are uniquely located in lovely parkland, offering guests peace and tranquillity, yet it is only a 15-minute stroll, or 5-minutes by bus to Edinburgh's city centre and all the main attractions.
Guests in the Park Apartment have exclusive use of the stunning Palladian staircase entrance, at the top of which are double oak doors and a small south-facing seating area overlooking the park - a wonderful suntrap.

Pilrig House has a notable and fascinating history. It was owned by the same family for hundreds of years - the Balfours. Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson - one of Scotland's most acclaimed authors - often visited his family & played in the gardens here as a child. He mentions Pilrig House in many of his books and letters, including Kidnapped, and Catriona.
Included in the price: fluffy Egyptian cotton towels, fine bedlinen, all utilities (heating & electricity - there are no 'hidden' add-on charges), telephone (free local & national calls, and with CallMinda answer service), luxury Scottish toiletries, full Welcome/Places to Visit/Tours/Restaurant Packs, up-to-date Tourist Information File, bookcases full of novels, Edinburgh guidebooks & maps, children's books/games, board games, a selection of CDs & DVDs, umbrellas, Pilrig House postcards, bookmarks & stationery, hairdryers, and US adapter plugs.
