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. The Garden Apartment is sited at garden level and has a private seating area to the front, overlooking the park. Whilst the Balfour Apartment occupies a commanding second-floor postion, offering dramatic views of the park and Edinburgh skyline.

All three apartments are beautifully furnished, impeccably clean and extremely comfortable, and offer private gardens, which include a lovely Regency garden with secluded seating areas. And, unusual for Edinburgh, guests have a (free) allocated car-parking space in a private car park. The Park Apartment: fully-equipped kitchen; spacious living-room, which has a designated dining area and lovely recessed window-seat with delightful views of the park; double and single bedrooms - both with park views; and, modern, fully tiled bathroom with spacious, curved bath (shower over bath), heated towel rail and shaver point.

The Garden Apartment: beautiful double bedroom with garden/park views; living-room with garden/park views; modern bathroom with bath (shower over bath), heated towel rail and shaver point; and, lovely (fully equipped) cottage-style kitchen.

The Balfour Apartment: 2 double bedrooms (one with super king-sized bed that can be spit into twins); sunny, spacious living-room with double windows and recessed window-seats offering panoramic park views; modern bathroom with walk-in shower cabinet, shaver point and heated towel-rail; and, fully equipped kitchen.

All apartments offer: Broadband Wi-Fi access, double fold-out sofa-beds, travel cot available, on request, adjustable heating in all rooms, overhead dimmer lighting, touch-activated bedside lamps, flat-screen TV (Digital TV), DVD, CD-Player, Digital Radio, ironing facilities, full kitchen - oven/hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer, clothes washer/dryer, coffee-maker.

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. And, on arrival, we provide: refreshment tray, fruit bowl, fresh flowers, crystal decanter of whisky, and chocolates... as well as many other wee extras to make your stay as comfortable and extra-special as possible.

We personally greet and extend a warm welcome all guests, and are happy to offer advice and assistance.

Please see our website (or enquire directly) for our nightly and weekly rates, as well as special rates for longer stays. We have a 3-night min. stay policy.

The apartment is non-smoking. And, sorry - no pets.

Double Bedroom - Park Apartment - The double bedroom is deeply relaxing - views from the bed overlook the lovely Beech tree to the side of the house, and park beyond - making this a sunny, yet totally peaceful room.

Historic Pilrig House (built 1638) - Pilrig House is a 17th-century, A-Listed historic Scottish townhouse, uniquely located on the edge of a tranquil park, offering three 4-star graded apartments for rental. With park and garden views from all apartments' main rooms, (FREE) private parking, and with an amazing history and literary connection with Robert Louis Stevenson - it really is a stand-alone place to stay!
Park Apartment - Recess Window Seat - Overlooking the entire park... most of our guests say that they while away the hours most comfortably in this spot - usually with a book that doesn't get read, watching the local dog-walkers, joggers, cyclists... and the world pass by. It is a really lovely, relaxing place to sit - in all weathers...
Sunny living-room - Park Apartment - Oak flooring, recessed window-seat with park views, log-effect fire, overhead dimmer lighting, 2 double sofas, rug, and dining area inside the double oak door entrance...
