We have faced a few issues with our self-catering business over the last few years, including the lockdowns and the major upgrade works to the apartment and to the building as a whole; now the entire short-term let market in Edinburgh is under attack from the city Council. Rather than subject ourselves to the stressful business of applying to the Planning Department (at significant cost) for a "certificate of lawfulness", and then - if granted a CoL - having to regularly apply (at significant cost) for a licence to operate, we have decided to stop doing short-term rentals.

We have really enjoyed doing this for over 11 years, and we have met some really lovely people, so there is an element of sadness in making this decision. A big thank-you and farewell to all our guests over the years!
