Self-Catering

The City of Edinburgh is famous for many things, not least of which is the incredible architecture, dominated by the Castle, mediaeval buildings and winding streets of the Old Town, and the elegant squares, terraces, and wide thoroughfares of the Georgian New Town. History is certainly something the city does well and combined with the contemporary corporate interests, the arts and festivals, and all the lively culture which defines a modern cosmopolitan city, Edinburgh attracts great numbers of visitors. As a result, there are many accommodation options to meet the demand, many of which are offered on a self catering basis.

While many visitors to the city will want all the service and luxuries of one of the top hotels as part of a memorable city break, there are many reasons why a self catering accommodation option is the better choice. The visiting executive, for example may want an apartment in the heart of the city with everything on hand for any extended period, including lounge and living spaces, and fully fitted kitchens.

Others may simply feel that given there is so much to do in Edinburgh and certainly plenty of first class restaurants for dining out, they prefer the freedoms of self catering accommodation to come and go as they please and return to a true home from home.

To meet this wide-ranging criteria, Edinburgh self catering accommodation comes in different forms. There are stylish one-bedroom apartments, ideal for those with work in the city, up to larger flats and houses which are ideal for families looking for a short to medium term let.

Additionally, Edinburgh is surrounded by some wonderful rural spaces, in which self catering means a fully equipped holiday cottage with all amenities, close enough to the city but with a rural appeal. Either way, visitors to the city are spoiled for choice given the number and high quality of such accommodation options available.
