We live on the seafront at Portobello, 5 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. Our flat is on the second floor of a 1890's sandstone tenement. Public transport to and from the city is fast and excellent. Portobello is the most desirable areas to live in Edinburgh and one of the top places to live in the UK, With lots of community activities & amenities.
The flat has 4 bedrooms, all with sea views, and is an ideal base for lots of different types of holidays. Two rooms have a double bed and two rooms have single beds.
If you have kids - the beach is on the doorstep and there are parks and swimming pool all within 2 mins walk. The promenade is also brilliant for safe cycling and gentle walks.

Portobello is a thriving community with great local facilities, an independent butcher, fish shop, general grocery shopping, chemists and delicatessen - all shops 0.5km.

Family of four, our daughters are in their twenties so do not always travel with us.
Andrew works as a teacher, managing support services for high school children.
Fiona works as a director of finance for a festival arts organisation.
Rose has just graduated from Glasgow Uni with a masters degree in Chemistry.
Lizzie is in her fourth year at Dundee University, studying Philosophy.
We love theatre, live music and so are lucky to live in Edinburgh, as there is always lots on.
We also do a lot of walking in East Lothian, and are both keen swimmers - Andrew in the sea on our doorstep, Fiona in a warm pool.
We have a cat, Candy, happy for her to be looked after elsewhere if you prefer.
