  • A charming riverside retreat for two within a converted 18th-century warehouse
  • Open the patio doors of the bedroom straight onto the cobbled wharf and watch the world go by
  • Set in a quiet part of the Leith harbour district, with its abundance of shops, bars and restaurants

 

Property code: OC-E1678

This beautifully presented apartment sits right on the cobbled quay of Leith’s wharf. Stroll straight out of your patio doors onto the portside streets, full of vibrant shops, restaurants and local history. The apartment is a contemporary, calming space, the perfect base for two from which to explore this fascinating area of Edinburgh.

The property itself is a one-bedroom apartment, situated in a lovely converted wharf building dating back to the 18th century. The rooms are light and bright, and decorated in a sweet modern style, letting original features like exposed beams and stone pillars shine.

Enter into your open-plan living space, combining sitting room, dining area, and kitchen, all arranged delightfully around the view of the river as it passes by the cobbled wharf. The kitchen has all the modern conveniences you could want for making your own feasts while you’re here. Take your meal to the romantic dining table for two, where you can eat beside the view. Head through to the bedroom next door, a gorgeously light and breezy room with patio doors opening straight onto the cobbles. The bathroom is an indulgent, chic space with a shower over bath, perfect for enjoying a relaxing soak before heading out on the town.

Outside the property, the exterior of the building forms a pretty part of the town’s vista, and the streets of Leith are right outside your door - yours to stroll and begin the trail along the Water of Leith to the Firth or into town. A communal grass area offers a great spot to enjoy a morning coffee in the Scottish sunshine.

The flat was beautifully clean, very quiet and with a stunning view. Location is ideal with trams into the city centre just five minutes from the door and buses passing every few minutes. And if you feel more adventurous theres the Water of Leith path and the National Cycle route minutes from the door. Theres plenty of choice for dining out literaRead morelly on the doorstep. If you choose to stay in the cooking facilities and equipment were very good. Hide

We had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh and enjoyed walking miles, exploring waterways as well as the city centre. The location of the apartment is brilliant- the nearby trams made it very easy to get about when our feet were tired from walking. The apartment has pretty much everything you need and was a great base. We found it a little too hot at timRead morees, but we were visiting in very warm conditions. Hide

We had a very comfortable stay, the flat had everything we needed. I felt that it was good value for money. We liked the location, as it was lively without being overcrowded like the more central parts of Edinburgh. We were very tempted to just stay in the flat all day and watch the passing parade of characters passing along the riverside. Also welRead morel served by public transport - easy to catch the tram to any places we were visiting. The parking was a bonus and we did make use of it for one night. Hide

Great location in Edinburgh Leith. Plenty of restaurants to eat at and shops. Apartment upon arrival clean and homely. Everything needed for the stay if cooking and washing. Only problem was the mattress being really uncomfortable for us.

An enjoyable stay and we would book again as it is only a very short, steep walk to the water. Generally well equipped. There is wifi, but only a basic TV - no iplayer, DVD player etc. A few traditional children's games, but no books etc, so do take your own entertainment for the evenings.

The Cooperage Apartment was perfect for us, it had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Comfortable, warm, snug, we never cooked as there are so many delicious eateries on tap, you could never starve there . The location is amazing, I could happily live there, everything on hand, such friendly locals. Bus stop into Edjnburgh just a few steps Read moreaway. You can just sit back, relax and watch the world go by through the windows, it's an amazing waterfront. We will definitely be back fingers Hide

A great little ground-floor apartment, cosy for a couple. Well-equipped and comfortable, in a great location with pubs, cafes, restaurants, all nearby and within easy access for walks along the waterfront, plus bus & tram to explore further afield. A popular area but not excessively noisy. Wifi connection was good enough for me to keep up with workRead more on a laptop there. Parking isn't guaranteed but we managed to find an available space on arrival, which seemed secure at the rear of the building. Hide
