The unique aspect? A large fully furnished roof terrace surrounding a glass rooftop conservatory with partial glass flooring, high above the village of Stockbridge in the heart of Scotland's beautiful capital. What's not to love? I fell in love with it and everyone who stays does so too.
Guestbook comments from the owner
Hi Marji, just want to say a quick thanks again for everything! We had such a wonderful time in Edinburgh and your townhome, and we miss it so much now. Hopefully we will be back one day as Alex is very interested in the university there. You were great to work with and we really appreciate everything!

A Really Special Place Created a Special Holiday
The flat is absolutely beautiful-- immaculate and inviting-- and provided us with a great stay while in Edinburgh.
The weather was spectacular and we spent every free moment up on the roof deck-- where we felt we were on a luxury liner.
The location was perfect for us-- since we did not want to be right in the centre but in a neighborhood-- and the bus was right there as were taxis. Loads of great restaurants and cafes and pubs.
Marjorie was easy to work with and very reliable, as was Christina her housekeeper.
I would highly recommend Hamilton House to friends and family and will certainly stay there again myself.
Underwhelmed
Our family recently stayed here for three nights and I thought from the reviews and pictures that we were going to have a fantastic experience, but there were some glitches that made it a bit of a hassle...for one, the house doesn't have a working doorbell. When we first arrived this was an issue, as we agreed on a 4 pm arrival time--however, we were driving and with traffic and parking, we didn't arrive until 4:15--we rang and rang the doorbell and no one answered, so in our confusion I phoned the owner, Marjorie, but apparently we were supposed to phone the housekeeper and we got told off for being late and for not phoning the right person when the housekeeper finally came to the door. Also, since we were on a driving tour of Scotland, we had two cars--Marjorie told me that she would meet us and take us to a car park when we arrived, however two days before our arrival she said she was going to have the housekeeper meet us instead and just tell us where we could park. This ended up being a very confusing 20-minute walk away--the cars are obviously our responsibility, but Marjorie made it seem like she was going to help us figure out the parking and instead we were given some directions and left to our own devices--we could have really used a printed map (she did give me one by email but in traveling, we didn't have a printer and I couldn't read it unless connected to wi-fi). In addition, she doesn't take credit cards--only bank transfers--and transferring from a US to a UK bank account is a real pain from our end, not to mention ridiculously expensive--so we ended up using cash instead and then the housekeeper grumbled about having to meet us again to give us our deposit back. To her credit, when she met up with us to give us the deposit she was very pleasant to my mom and mother-in-law, but when we first arrived I felt she was pretty rude--maybe she was just having a bad day. In any case, there were just a lot of small issues like this that made the stay less enjoyable--it's also a very long walk to the city center from this location, at least 1/2 an hour, and uphill. I think it's a place that caters to a business clientele, and I can see how this would be a great location for that--but not so much for a family with kids and cars.
5 star rental, location and owner
My family and I loved our time in Edinburgh and the accommodations were excellent. Very spacious property and the rooftop room was fantastic. Marjorie was easy to work with and very accommodating. New town location was great and an easy walk to old town.
Fantastic
I came here to surprise my Husband for his birthday and we had a fantastic time with friends. It was his first time to Scotland and he loved it. The apartment was beautifully decorated, very contemporary yet homely. Marji and Christina were a great help with anything I needed, thanks guys. Will definitely be coming back here again :-)
Beautiful Property
Our family of four including a teen and tween, stayed here for a week during summer vacation and loved both this rental and Edinburgh. If you appreciate art and architecture you will love this unique place that's like no other vacation rental I've seen, from the winding staircases to the modern art to the mood lighting to the fantastic rooftop garden and conservatory which we enjoyed every day. Also if you have high standards for cleanliness and maintenance like us you will be more than happy here. Marji the owner is a very warm person and was wonderful to work with. Having a grocery store right across the street was so convenient, and there were wonderful restaurants in walking distance such as Hamilton's, Hector's and Buffalo Grill. We did all the touristy things in town as well as day trips to Glasgow, Stirling, Rosslyn Chapel and St. Andrews, all of which I highly recommend. Our family had a wonderful trip that we'll remember forever and this beautiful place and Marji's hospitality are a big part of that .
AN AMAZING APARTMENT IN AN AMAZING TOWN
I and my traveling companions loved this apartment. It offers spectacular views of the city, it is centered in Stock Bridge and has a great market directly across the street, a wonderful pub, restaurants and it's a nice 20 minute walk to the Royal Mile. It's also block from a beautiful jogging path along the Leith. The interior is beautiful, especially the rooftop patio and indoor atrium. One of our group chose to sleep up there each night to fall asleep with the stars. The owner, Marjorie, left us tea and fresh flowers. She could not have been more welcoming and helpful. The entire city was amazing and this apartment was one of the top attractions.
Location
Voted third best place to stay in the UK in The Times newspaper Top 30; Stockbridge is the village in the heart of Edinburgh.
Perfectly located for 'walk to work' in City Centre or Edinburgh's Financial District, Hamilton House attracts Corporate Guests seeking short term stays of weeks or months.
International Guests love this stunning four storey famous listed building with its City Chic interior. Edinburgh Festival and Fringe Visitors love this luxury property with large decked roof terrace for relaxing in quiet moments just a step away from all the main events.
For Golfers it is a relatively short, scenic, comfortable (and if preferred) chauffeur driven 'Drive' to Scotland's major golf courses; St Andrews, Muirfield, Gleneagles etc.
Hamilton House is ideally located to totally indulge the bustling world famous Edinburgh Festival and Fringe Events, New Year Street Party Celebrations. major Scottish sporting events; rugby and golf (Ryder Cup in 2014, Scottish and The Open in 2015 ) and holidays exploring Edinburgh's beautiful historic Capital City. And at the end of the day wander for 5 mins through local cobbled streeys to relax......in Hamilton House in Stockbridge - 'the village' in Scotland's Capital City. Luxuriate in the stylish and sumptuous quality contemporary finishes and furnishing in this totally refurbished famous 'listed' building.
Enjoy breakfast al fresco on the terrace or in local cafes famous for great cappucino and excellent eating. Strolling distance to and from all city centre festival and fringe events. Hamilton House is surrounded by galleries, cafe/bistros and some of Edinburgh's best restaurants, local specialist fish, game, cheese and wine shops. It is truly a beautiful village located on 'The Water of Leith' in the heart of Edinburgh and a short stroll through Inverleith Park to The Botanic Gardens.
Grocery shopping open all hours only a few steps away.
Easy walking distance (about 10 mins) Princes Street, (7/8 mins) West End, ( 15-20 mins) The Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle. About 5 mins in the other direction is Inverleith Park with access through to the Royal Botanic Gardens. A local bus trip to Crammond Beach or the Pentland Hills extends the attractions.
It is the perfect location to explore Edinburgh on foot and Scotland by car. A luxury car hire service with drop off/pick up at the door or airport; self drive or chauffeur driven - as you please.
However you choose to spend your day and your evening you always have the option of wandering 'home' for a rest or spending an evening off from the activity having a BBQ and dining outside, or inside on the glass floor of the rooftop conservatory. On sunny days soak up the all day sunshine on the large roof terrace. After long Festival/Fringe days, soak away the day in the luxury bathrooms with extra large free standing baths, sleep in a king-size bed wrapped in top quality bedding. Or sneak up the spiral stair and sleep in the rooftop conservatory under the stars.
Step into the drench shower.....and start all over again.
Note that this property can be hired for corporate drinks/gallery evenings. Quality finishes, an oiled American oak floor throughout, state of the art lighting LED and spacious open plan areas (away from the bedroom area) make it ideal. If you would like to consider extending an invite to guests while you are there, this can be negotiated and staffed to ensure your enjoyment without worry about the property.
This is a top end property likely to appeal to a couple, a family, a group of up to three couples ( three spacious luxury doubles and two full bathrooms ; one en-suite ) who would look for a 5 star hotel in the city centre but want the flexibility of their own space in Central Edinburgh in close proximity to all events, theatres, venues. Those seeking luxury, escape and tranquillity when they end their busy day. People who appreciate high quality fixtures and furnishings. It will suit their family/friends; even an extra person or two little ones if they are happy to sleep under the stars in the rooftop conservatory bed settee ( Ligne Roset and very comfortable!). Added in 2014 the complete 'Baby Set'; travel cot, high chair, fisher price activity chair, buggy, baby bedding, baby towel, dishes/cutlery :-) so cute.
Hamilton House originally a much valued family home, houses a collection of interesting artwork; giving a gallery feel to the open plan spaces.
The guest bedrooms and bathrooms along with large open plan living dining area ( with minstrel gallery to the art covered stairwell) combine to make this very special city centre townhouse stunning, very comfortable and extremely sought after.
'It is always a delight to meet and greet my guests, to see their reaction to this stunning property as they take in room after room, and especially as they step out to the roof terrace where the spectacular views allow them to marvel at the village location and proximity to landmarks.' Marji
