Village View is perfectly placed to make the most of Edinburgh’s charms. It sits on the edge of the Dean Village – a hidden, picturesque gem in the middle of the city – and the West End, with its grand terraces, lively café and bar culture, and range of boutique shops.

You’ll find most of the Capital’s top cultural locations are easily accessible on foot with the National Galleries of Scotland: Modern 1 and 2 just round the corner and The Traverse and Lyceum theatres only a 20-minute walk away. In the centre, George Street, Multrees Walk and the St James Quarter provide a range of shopping and leisure opportunities that include Harvey Nichols and John Lewis.

Village View is well served by the city’s highly regarded private schools, with Stewart’s Melville College just a 9-minute walk away. There are also a range of local sports clubs, including tennis, squash, swimming and fitness facilities, as well as private golf clubs and municipal courses. But if spectating’s more your thing, then Murrayfield Rugby Stadium is only a 30-minute walk along the Water of Leith.

It’s easy to access the bus and tram network from Village View and Haymarket Station is just a 12-minute walk away. A 15-minute drive gets you to the airport or on to the M8 to Glasgow. With Edinburgh’s ever expanding safe cycling routes, a bike is a great way to stay healthy on your daily commute and Village View has ample secure bike storage in the underground car park.
