"Auld Reekie’s most exciting holiday let...Just you, those outrageous views and two and a half centuries of thrillingly palpable history."

★★★★★

Jeremy Lazell, The Times

"We watched the sunset from the house’s Astronomer’s Suite, where the inside of the domed observatory roof has been dappled pink and brown by artist Rachel Adams. It echoes the sky outside at dusk."

★★★★★

Gaby Soutar, The Scotsman

"I’m not sure there is anywhere quite like the recently reopened Observatory House for taking in Edinburgh’s full majesty."

★★★★★

Brian Ferguson, Scotland on Sunday

"It felt like the perfect destination for an unforgettable special gathering or intimate celebration with family or friends."

★★★★★

Brian Ferguson, Scotland on Sunday

"As I and my daughter – also staying here – ricocheted from one astonishing vista to another, each quirky room offering up new perspectives, she declared: ‘It’s like flying’"
