The Sempill

Named after the aristocratic Sempill family who bought this property in 1743 as their grand Edinburgh residence, the Sempill suite offers a sitting area, a large bedroom with a magnificent four poster bed, and a grand bathroom. 

Prepare to be captivated by the allure of the antique oak four-poster bed within the romantically dark and dramatically red bedroom, adorned with opulent masses of antique velvet, an abundance of intriguing antiques, and captivating objects of curiosity. Luxuriate in the indulgent ambience of leather-panelled walls that envelop you in a cosy embrace. The hallway itself is adorned with Paisley fabric, while the sitting room boasts the exquisite charm of antique leather panelling. This suite is nothing short of an immersive experience in the world of drama and elegance.

The Armoury

In the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, the Armoury is a magnificent suite. Adorned with magnificent portraits and tapestries, the chamber boasts walls richly panelled in opulence, with the crowning jewel being the antique four-poster bed in the striking blood-red bedroom.

Step into the dramatic black and gilt salon, where theatrical amethyst and gold drapes add an air of opulence. The oak-panelled bathroom awaits with a lavish roll-top bath for two, and the pinnacle of luxury awaits in the blood-red bedroom, where an extravagant four-poster bed takes centre stage.

The Inner Sanctum

The first suite envisioned by James Thomson showcases an antique Victorian bathtub within the elegantly lacquered red bathroom, a study adorned with tartan accents, and a sumptuously draped four-poster bed in the opulent red and gold bedroom.
