Two exclusive, neighbouring apartments sleeping 22 in Edinburgh’s historic centre. | Apartment in Edinburgh

Welcome to The Canter & Gallop, a rare and premium accommodation offering in the very heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town. Bringing together two of our finest neighbouring properties - The Gait and The Fetlock - this combined listing offers an unrivalled city-centre retreat for large groups of up to 22 guests.
Please note: this listing comprises two separate apartments located next to each other. Each apartment is arranged across two levels, with accommodation on the ground and lower ground floors. The apartments are booked together as one property, offering increased space and capacity for larger groups.
While both apartments are completely self-contained and private, their close proximity on the same peaceful, historic square provides a unique luxury: the ability for multigenerational families, corporate groups, and other larger groups to stay right next door to each other without sacrificing individual space.
Blending unique period character, elegant high ceilings, and contemporary comfort, both properties offer an incredibly high standard of living. Guests can socialise and dine together seamlessly, then retreat to their own private apartment at night. Perfectly situated, you are just a short walk from Edinburgh’s world-class museums, the vibrant University district, Edinburgh Castle, and the leafy Meadows. As an added luxury, guests also benefit from nearby access to premium fitness and hotel dining facilities.
Please note: To maintain the serene environment of the square, this collection is not suitable for stag, hen, or young single-sex parties.
