    Archerfield Links - Beds for two

    Archerfield Links

    I stayed in a lodge at Archerfield Links with my fiancé at a wedding of a friends. As far as I can…read moretell, they booked the whole resort (including many lodges and the main mansion) and the wedding was held nearby in an old Scottish town. They bride and groom also held welcome drinks in the golf club (which boasts a bar and restaurant). The wedding was at the start of January (so very cold)! Let me first say... the place is amazing! The lodge we stayed in had 3 master bedrooms (each with a ensuite bathroom with a shower and bathtub), a twin bedroom, a beautiful living room with tons of books and sofas and open kitchen. It also had a terrace (but I didn't venture outside due to the cold) overlooking the golf course. In the distance you could see the sea and a town which supposedly resides on the grounds. The rooms were amazing - the beds incredibly comfortable, very spacious and home-y. I only wish I could live there! The staff were also great and shuttled everyone to and from the clubhouse. They were all very friendly and professional. The mansion (if you're lucky enough to stay in it) is just out of this world. If you're not used to old classical British buildings, you'll be blown out of the water. The decor is great, they have a pool table and smoking room and tons of cigars which you can purchase for about 10 GBP (my computer doesn't have a pound sign, sigh). All in all, I would 100% recommend hosting a wedding here and also visiting (perhaps to play some golf if you're inclined to).

    This is a vacation rental. I repeat, this stunning place really is a vacation rental…read more I submitted this review to Yelp, and they listed it as "Photography Store & Services." Nope. This is a holiday rental that is on the grounds of a historic home of pioneer photographers. Just past the first set of steps up to Calton Hill from Regal Road, there is a locked wrought iron gate to the left. Inside that gate, up another set of stairs, is Rock House, a historic home that belonged to Scottish photographer pioneer, Robert Adamson in 1843. Robert Adamson formed a partnership with an artist named David Octavious Hill, and together, they established the use of photography as an art form. On the gorgeous grounds of that historic house stands a charming, white 2 story building, called the Photographer's Studio, which is available for people to rent for their vacations. The studio sleeps two people, perfect for a couple. Although the studio building isn't the original one that Adamson and Hill used for their work, it stands on the same spot theirs did. On the private grounds of Rock House, the sounds of the bustling city fades, and the chirping of song birds prevails. Using a skeleton key to unlock the door of the studio, I walk into a gorgeously decorated bedroom. The white, four poster bed sitting atop sisal carpeting is cozy and inviting. Sharing the first floor is the bathroom, which features a rain shower head! Climbing a winding staircase, I encounter the most lovely octagonal kitchen/dining/living room. The three windows upstairs flood the room with tons of natural light. There is a kitchenette (equipped with a gas range, oven, and fridge) a fireplace, and even washer and dryer to make this home away from home both enjoyable and useful! This exquisitely furnished, private abode, is both comfortable and impressive. The Photographer's Studio is impeccably designed for a romantic getaway in Edinburgh. Definitely book this place early for your holiday! The location is ideal! Located on Calton Hill, near historic landmarks and just a 5 minute walk to Waverly train station. Close to both Old Town and New Town tourist destinations.
