- Holyrood Park (which contains a large hill, Arthur's Seat, a jogging circuit and a mile of cliffs, Salisbury Crags).
The room is for one person only, as otherwise the conditions of our licence to let (the Houses in Multiple Occupation Licence) would not be met.
It is for a student only, as otherwise the tenant would have to foot a council tax bill for the whole property.
It is for a postgraduate student only, so tenants can share a mature student atmosphere.
The room will become available in September, as it is occupied by another student beforehand.
We look forward to your enquiry if you fill the above criteria. Thank you.
