Our unique 2-bed apartment is located in the bohemian neighbourhood of Stockbridge. If you’re a foodie or passionate about your coffee and love a villagey vibe, then this apartment is a real find.
We’ve compiled a list of some of our favourite hotspots for your appetite, your curiosity, and your entertainment.
Food
The Pantry has a few locations in the city, including Bruntsfield and, of course, Stockbridge. Offering fresh-tasting brunch options, including their iconic waffles. Make sure to grab something delicious on your next stop by.
A fantastic and unique food vendor is Toastology - Stockbridge’s iconic toastie shop. They specialise in a range of unique toasties, including haggis and a delicious three-cheese option. The shop caters to a variety of dietary requirements, including Vegan and Vegetarian options, so it’s a great choice for everyone.
This fantastic pizza shop offers the best of iconic American pizza styles, from foldable, chewy New York slices to the thin, blistered crusts of New Haven, the crispy, caramelised edges of Detroit, and the deep, indulgent layers of Chicago.
Explore
In a historical City like Edinburgh, you’re surely spoiled for choice when it comes to exploring the cobbles - that’s why we’ve picked some of our favourites, to make sure you don’t miss out on the highlights.
Circus Lane
Possibly one of the most popular areas of the neighbourhood has to be the Iconic Circus Lane, which is a great way to start your day in Stockbridge. The famous lane is known for its unique village-like character, and is a hotspot for tourists, all snapping their perfect pictures. We recommend starting the day early to avoid the busy periods, so you can take the perfect photos to remember your visit.
Some of the best times to visit the lane are in the Spring and Autumn. During the Spring, all of the flowers are in bloom, making for the perfect background shots; alternatively, during the autumn, the lane is covered in leaves, ideal for the ‘moody’ Edinburgh aesthetic.
The Stockbridge Market
One of the reasons Stockbridge retains its popularity is the range of delicious food vendors located on the high street, as well as every weekend at the Stockbridge Market (a must-visit!).
Entertainment
When it comes to entertainment in the city, the list is truly endless - but here are some of our favourites, guaranteed to enhance your stay with us.
Rare Bird Books - a female-owned business that sells women-only authors throughout its shop.
Golden Hare Books - located on St Stephen Street- is a fantastic destination to grab your book before a trip to Lannan Bakery or Fortitude Coffee.
The Last Word - Finish your day off with a well-deserved cocktail at The Last Word. Located on St Stephen Street, this independent cocktail spot is a real hidden gem.
