Jamaica Lane

Our Jamaica Lane property forms part of a tranquil mews in Edinburgh’s New Town. With its own private garage, it is ideal for families or groups arriving by car.

Interior layout

Accessed via main door, Jamaica Lane is a bright and spacious mews house in Edinburgh’s New Town. On the ground floor, the open plan kitchen and dining area has table seating for six, and the well-equipped kitchen area contains everything you might need for self-catering.

Upstairs, a cosy living room contains a comfortable couch and a television for entertainment. There are two bedrooms (one double and one twin) and a sofa-bed in the living room that can be made up for an additional guest.

Each bedroom is equipped with bedside tables, lamps, chairs, and storage for your clothes and belongings. The upstairs bathroom contains a shower cubicle, towel drying rack, and a full bath with a handheld shower attachment.

The apartment also includes a large private garage. The garage measures approximately 500 cm in length, 260 cm in width, and 210 cm in height. It is conveniently accessed through a door that leads directly from the kitchen on the ground floor.

Around and about

Jamaica Lane is perfectly situated for those looking for a quiet and peaceful retreat with easy access to the city centre. Just a five-minute walk will take guests from the apartment’s tranquil mews surroundings to Princes Street and the bustling centre of Edinburgh.

Edinburgh Castle and the famous Royal Mile are only a scenic 20 minutes away on foot, and you will pass the New Town shopping and restaurant district as well as the Scottish National Gallery and Princes Street Gardens along the way.

Head south and you will find yourself in Edinburgh’s lively Stockbridge area, which is home to numerous bars, restaurants and artisan shops, as well as the excellent Sunday Market.

And if you don’t fancy going too far from your home away from home, why not pop over to Kay’s Bar on Jamaica Street? This is a tiny hidden gem of a pub, hidden away in the New Town – just a stone’s throw from your apartment!
