About this property

Over looking park land - "Leith-Links", the original home of golf!

Wellington Place is a truly unique property. The town house was originally designed for a wealthy merchant because of its proximity to the old trading centre of Leith docks and retains a wealth of original features: extravagant plasterwork , marble fireplaces, etched glass windows and original shutters on all windows.

A stunning bow-ended master bedroom which would most likely have been the original dining-room, as suggested by the marble fireplace and etched glass windows is a relaxing place to spend time after a day sightseeing in the historical city. Stunning new bathroom just fitted with walk-in shower, new appliances and underfloor heating!

These original features have been combined with the open-plan style and contemporary features of 21st-century living to provide a calm and relaxing environment. The modern open plan kitchen and dining area have all the appliances one would expect from a state of the art kitchen while retaining the original grand period features of the room. The lounge also has a remotely controlled gas fire, very authentic, within an impressive Georgian fireplace for cosy nights in. All windows have working shutters.

The property comes with state of the art media entertainment and communications including; 40" Sony flat screen - full HD, Blue Ray DVD, fast broad band via wifi. This place is seriously cool!

On-street metered parking is available and we can also provide visitor permits with sufficient notice - a major asset in any city. The nearest bus and tram stop is just 5 mins. round the corner on Constitución street departing every 5/10 minutes directly to Princes Street, where the journey time is approx 10 mins - so extremely close to the city centre without the same extent of noise and traffic. So a real oasis in Edinburgh!

Surrounded by excellent local amenities, supermarkets ( nearest 2 mins from building), bars & restaurants and award winning Terrance Conran designed Mall, home to The Royal Yacht Britannia on quay side, multi-plex cinema, excellent shopping just 5 mins away by car or cab.

Ideal City Break

Well appointed accommodation, warm and comfortable with a slightly lived in feel that makes you feel at home. Walk in to centre or numerous trams and buses. Leith itself has pubs, cafes and restaurants and many interesting walks from the front door. Highly recommended.

Girls' weekend

My friend and I wanted a weekend away but not city centre. Leith is a lovely place. Recommend Fishers restaurant. The flat was in a great location for shopping and a short walk to bars, restaurants and harbour. Would stay again. Extraordinarily comfy bed and cosy duvets and pillows. Well equipped. Would have liked some milk, tea and coffee available for arrival but otherwise very pleased with standard of accommodation. Thank you Morris.

Lovely Property

Overall, a lovely apartment which is very spacious. The rooms were great! You will need to get a bus to the city centre (if you are visiting it) but it's very easy to do as the bus pick up it just round the corner, so very easy. Overall, very pleased.

The apartment was very central and had everything you could need for a short or long stay.

This apartment was ideal for our needs and had everything on tap. Also for us it had plenty of parking nearby for free which was great. We had easy access to nice restaurants on the shore within easy walking distance and were also close to Princes Street by bus.

About the host

Hosted by Morris Paton

I worked as an actor for many years and as a radio broadcaster on the BBC, presenting arts programmes. I'm also very interested in cultural tourism projects and in 1996 created The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour, an award winning tour performed by professional actors. It runs throughout the year and Rick Steves, presenter of travel programmes USA wide, is quoted as saying in a recent review, 'for an entertaining insight into the greats of Scottish literature, served up with new friends, good beer, and lots of laughs, The Edinburgh Literary Pub Tour is my vote for the best way to spend an Edinburgh Evening!' so can't be bad!! Let me know if your interested in going on the tour at check-in and I can reserve you a slot.
