Rent Apartment Root Mangrove Bruntsfield & Morningside

With its craggy peaks and rolling hills, you might not immediately think of Edinburgh as a canal city. But this fabulous houseboat at Lochrin Basin will defy your expectations, just fifteen minutes on foot from Edinburgh Castle. Its bright green painted exterior stands out on the water, and the interior has gorgeous, rich wood throughout. Two bright terraces on the roof deck are where you’ll sip champagne on arrival. Spacious, stylish, and unique, the VIP experience on board feels more like a yacht than a canal barge. Make use of the foot spa and electric massage chair after settling down in your fluffy bathrobe. And your host even offers luxury welcome packages full of fine Scottish fare, as well as a private chef. If you fancy heading out for cafés, dinners, and drinking, walk up to Bruntsfield in just ten minutes, or head over to Tollcross in six. Both areas are absolutely teeming with brunch spots and tasty restaurants, as well as plenty of watering holes like traditional pubs. After a few drams of whisky, head back to the boat and enjoy a nightcap on the water.
