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.
