The home is spacious & entered via its own private front door. Large living eating and dinning room & separate kitchen, the space is ample for 3 adults. 1 main bedroom with a supering bed & on upper floor there is single bed over looking sitting area. Edinburgh city centre easily reached. The internationally renowned garden at Shepherd House is accessible for guests. Remote self check in. Private front door, not shared with other people.
