Why Stay in Stockbridge?
Stockbridge is one of Edinburgh’s most desirable neighbourhoods – a village-like enclave just 15 minutes’ walk from Princes Street. You get independent cafes, the famous Sunday farmers’ market, traditional pubs and the scenic Water of Leith walkway on your doorstep, without the tourist crowds of the Royal Mile. The area borders Dean Village, a picture-postcard former milling hamlet along the river, and is within easy reach of the West End’s restaurants and bars. Most accommodation here is in converted Georgian townhouses, giving it a distinctly residential character compared to chain hotels in the city centre.
