Right in the heart of it so a little noisy but not a problem at night.

Fabulous, bright, airy apartment with lots of space. Great kitchen with all equipment, tea and coffee provided and all equipment - felt like a proper lived in home from home. Large bedrooms with comfy beds. Bathrooms a real treat with jacuzzi and mega shower. Great relief not to have tons of nagging notices - felt very welcoming. Fab extra to be able to drop off and store luggage

Some WiFi issues at the beginning, but we sorted it. Need to add a potato masher to the utensils!

Fantastic location for us. The accomodation had everything we needed. We were a group of adults and young people performing at the festival. We cooked in the apartment each evening, and the utensils etc were fine. Could have used extra tea towels! There was plenty of seats for us and space to chill after our very busy days. Being right on the Royal Mile is fantastic and close to everything. It does come with noise at night... but that is to be expected! Beds were very comfy. All clean and tidy. Very good communication beforehand and during our stay. Very easy access on arrival. All towels and bedding provided. A great stay!

Amazing location, and the sauna was so good.

It’s so hard to be critical but I have to mention the bath towels as they were very small.

Location amazing ideal for the start of the Marathon (Purpose of the visit) and central Old Town.

Couple more single rather than double beds would have suited our group better, but thats simply due to the make up of our party.

Perfect location, well fitted out and good internal lay out

There is no lift available making the process of lifting the luggage to the second floor hard

Location, size and facilities

we couldn't get the shower and bath to work. n extrav hairdryer would be great. a socket near a mirror would be easier..

spacious, clean, well equipped

Not a dislike - but the TV needs to be looked into - the only channel that work was BBC Iplayer - and we couldn't get You Tube to work either - not a big issue for us - but thought we'd let the propert know

Location of the apartment was perfect for our stay, host (Michelle) kept us up to date in a timely manner on how to access the apartment - great service

There was nothing to dislike. Only thing to bear in mind when booking is our appartment was up a steep flight of stairs!! But for us it wasnt a problem!

Everything was perfect. The host was available to contact whenever we had any generall.queries. we were able to leave our bags on departure day until we were ready to leave for airport.

A bit noisy at times.

Very central, very comfortable and clean. Has all the amenities.

Towels a little on the skinny side

An oasis of peaceful, calm tranquillity, and comfort. Everything you need in the kitchen. After a day of sight seeing the jacuzzi bath and sauna are a god send. Communication regarding key codes, perfect. A beautiful comfortable apartment, great people watching place over the main street.

Lack of storage space in the twin-bedded room and no hooks. Nowhere to hang towels, particularly when they were wet. The bath was so big it was impractical to use.

The location is superb, overlooking the Royal Mile. The apartment was clean and spacious and the kitchen well stocked

Excellent location. Apartment was very clean and communication with apartment manager was great. Lovely spacious flat, comfy beds and the sauna was an added bonus.

This is more just something to be aware of... This is a very touristy area with a busy night life. It can be noisy at night. This would apply to any properties in this area. I'm still recommending Clamshell Land to all my friends who might be visiting the Royal Mile!

Tim and his team were great with communication before and during our stay. If you are training into Edinburgh and want a place to stay that is really in the heart of the historic area then this is the place for you. History is all around this place. It is an easy walk from the train station and then an easy walk to anything close to the Royal Mile. The property itself is well kept and the kitchen was easy to cook in. If you are not going to cook there are many choices of eating establishments near by. There were 7 of us sharing this space... my husband and I along with our 3 teen-young 20s "children" and my in-laws. That was a lot of adults in the same location and we never felt like we didn't have enough space to chill out after a long day of sight seeing. It is spacious with plenty of seating for everyone.

There were no written instructions for using the bath/spa but Michelle was very helpful.

Fantastic location, spacious and well equipped.

Amenities were lovely but unable to use sauna, coffee machine stopped working after 2 cups, and laundry machine was out of service for our stay. The owner did let us know about the laundry machine in advance.

Lovely, spacious, and centrally located! Perfect location. Walking distance with 2 kids from the train station. Kitchen and living room wonderful for a family! Loved the jacuzzi tub after our hike to Arthur’s Seat!

It was 2nd floor and didn’t have lift so people who have challenge to climb should be mindful, but stairs are ok

Location is perfect to go around the city attractions. The space is beautiful and very good for family stay

The apartment is on the Royal Mile and does have some noise - including from the middle room where people seemed to leave a venue and talk under the window. This is expected with this sort of location and was not a big deal.

Great location and apartment is very well set up, very tastefully decorated and comfortable. Would highly recommend for any family/ group. Very responsive and helpful host/ team.

Noise during the night from the apartment above and the alleyway at the back. Some of the finishing off bits, hole in wall and ceiling in one of the wardrobes was a bit off putting, door to front bedroom sticks and didn’t shut properly.

Overall a really lovely apartment, spacious, clean and modern whilst retaining some character. Sauna, spa bath and Sonos all nice additions. Fabulous location and views over the royal mile. Easy access to the apartment and fabulous communication with the host.
