King's Chamber Flat
Riddle's Court
Holiday Flat To Let
ABOUT
This delightful self-contained one-bedroom flat is located within Riddle's Court, very close to Edinburgh Castle. A newly renovated apartment, it is a historic gem and Edinburgh's last remaining merchant house on the Royal Mile.
The bedroom with its 16th century painted beams, was once the hall in which King James VI of Scotland hosted a Royal dinner party for the Duke of Holstein. It is now part of a bright, warm and comfortable flat with a tasteful mix of traditional and modern furnishings.
The flat is managed by the Scottish Historic Buildings Trust. The Trust is a charity that secures the future of under-used historic buildings across Scotland by expertly restoring them for the nation and finding new uses that can regenerate local communities and the historic environment.
This is a truly unique chance to stay in a building steeped in over 400 years of history. To instant book visit Airbnb,
