We so enjoyed our stay in your beautiful city...

“Thank you to you and the team of lovelies we wanted to let you know we so enjoyed our stay in your beautiful city. The accommodation in the Old Town was a wonderful location, immaculate and well appointed. We were most impressed with the facilities provided and hopefully, on a return visit, would love to stay in St Marys Street again. Friendly neighbourhood made us feel right at home and with the array of eateries, we were spoilt for choice.  Thanks again for the efficient service, we would certainly recommend your business to our friends here in Oz.”

The cleanest, best equipped accommodation in which we've stayed...

“The cleanest, best equipped and best thought out self catering accommodation in which we have stayed. Convenient for the city with most attractions we wanted to see within walking distance.”

I couldn't fault it!...

“Thank you! The apartment was lovely! The complimentary tea, coffee, spreads and red wine were a nice touch. I couldn’t fault it!”

Everything was perfect!

“I just want you to know that everything was perfect! We loved very much the flat. It had everything we needed presented with a caring touch and…. It might sound a bit silly but, finding  supplies and cleaning products was really good. Thank you very much. “

20/5 Drumsheugh Gardens

Highly recommend...

“The property was lovely and just what we were looking for. Perfect for visiting the city centre and site seeing and walking the dog. 5 days was not enough time for us, so we will visit again for a fortnight and stay in the same property if available during the summer. I will highly recommend this property to everyone. Thank you”

"We loved this flat – A real home from home and the spectacular view of Hogmanay Fireworks was a wonderful bonus. Thanks you”

Colin Clarkson, Buckinghamshire, 2011

Very professional operation...
