Cheval Abbey Strand Apartments, at Holyrood

This apartment is a hidden gem in Edinburgh. Initially, we thought the price was a bit high, and were worried about the lack of staff on-site. However, we were delighted with the location, the property, and the communication. This apartment is located at the end of the Royal Mile, right next to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Every day, we could see the guards passing by, and on the last day, we were lucky enough to witness a royal family member entering the palace! The accommodation was clean, cozy, and convenient. It was our first visit to Edinburgh, and we were delighted to have such a comfortable place to rest after a long day of exploring. We would love to stay at this apartment or another Cheval property (like in Old Town) if we visit again. Highly recommended!

Everything is just so well thought out. The temperature of the room, the fact the lights are on when you open the door, the attention to detail in everything provided in the kitchen - the milk in particular was great for a cup of tea in the morning! Also, the bed is extremely comfortable which is very important.

Beautiful renovation of an old building. Very comfortable. Everything was finished to a high standard. We loved the location opposite the parliament and near Arthur’s seat but easy walking to the old and new towns.

The location was perfect. Close enough to the tourist attractions yet it was quiet at night. We had housekeeping daily. After a day out we came back to a well appointed flat. If we needed anything the management team responded very quickly. Within a few minutes. It was very comfortable and we felt we had value for our money.

This is my second time staying with Cheval. I had high ecxpectations because the quality of my earlier stay was great. This stay did not disappoint. Everything was perfect with the room- it was well-equipped, comfortable, and tastefully decorated. Everything worked and was of good quality. Peter, who met me to check in, was extremely helpful and amenable, but not intrusive. This particular building has a fascinating history and is in a wonderfully peaceful location, right next to Holyrood park and the Queen’s gallery. The room was fastidiously clean. The bed was also extremely comfy. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and hope to come back soon!
