    Beautiful apartment right in the old town of Edinburgh. It was spotless, comfortable and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay at the Riddoch and would highly recommend it.

    Central location in Lawnmarket, only a short walk to the Castle and other attractions. Princes Street was only 20 minutes away on foot. The apartment was comfortable and well furnished with quality appliances.
