Apartment On Cheyne Street
This small but cosy apartment has some of the most stylish interiors on this list. Head to the cobbled streets of Cheyne Street in Stockbridge to stay in this lovely, characterful one-bedroom property. There’s an open-plan kitchen-diner with several cookbooks if you want to whip up a traditional Scottish meal, as well as a spacious double bedroom, a bathroom with a free-standing tub, and a study with a further single bed. Ideal for a long weekend, New Town is a short walk away, as are the Botanic Gardens and several local artisan shops.

Finally, a weekend bolt hole in Edinburgh with charm
For a city bursting with weekend rentals, Edinburgh sure does know how to miss the mark. Too many milquetoast apartments haunt the capital’s historic wynds, their yawn-worthy interiors keeping sellers of Audrey Hepburn wall prints and Union Jack cushions in business.
Just when you’re ready to scream with the Identikit-ness of it all, along comes Number 25, opened last August. Halfway down a quiet Stockbridge side street lies this wonderland of tonal loveliness, its tasteful nooks and crannies set behind a bottle-green front door. Yes, it’s a ground-floor tenement, which might not usually make the heart soar, but it is nothing like the ones I recall from my student days.

Despite having lived in Scotland for the best part of six years, there are places that continue to evade me. Dunnet Bay and Jura have always been tough for logistical reasons (though I’m heading to the latter soon for the whisky). Stockbridge, though, is a mere 20-minute stroll from Edinburgh Waverley – why had I yet to explore its cobbled streets? Time to put that right.
As bucket-list items go, this was an easy one to cross off. I looked for a self-catering holiday home that wouldn’t break the bank and was outside the usual net of stays in Edinburgh. Kip Hideaways provided the solution: for an annual fee of £19, which is about the cost of a fish supper these days, you get access to its catalogue of stylish, hand-picked rentals. We fell for Number 25, a charming ground-floor flat on a quiet street, a stone’s throw from Stockbridge’s main row of shops and eateries, and booked it for the weekend.
