The Writer’s Attic

The Writer’s Attic, Edinburgh

The Writer’s Attic is a charming, hidden gem nestled in one of the famous, historic courtyards in the heart of Edinburgh's atmospheric Old Town. The incredible location, set directly opposite the Writer’s Museum in Lady Stair’s Close, will have you feeling like you’ve stepped into a movie! Located in a lane off the Royal Mile, and just three minutes walk to majestic Edinburgh Castle, the area is steeped in history, culture and stunning architecture and you’ll find an array of restaurants, pubs, cafes, and shops on the cobbled streets right on your doorstep. 

This special hideaway is on the top floor of a traditional Old Town building. After a long day exploring, you’ll love cosying up in this home from home with its exposed stone walls, and views over the Royal Mile and towards Arthur's Seat. Unwind in the comfortable and cosy open-plan living area with its leather sofa and Smart TV. The modern, stylish kitchen is fully fitted and equipped for a cosy night in. The dining area is the perfect spot for enjoying the inspiring views-maybe even for writing your next novel! And when your bed is calling, you can cosy up in the Super King size bed and marvel at the views over the Royal Mile.
