Historic Edinburgh property transformed into modern day luxury living. Free parking.
Welcome to the Mapmakers Townhouse, where fascinating Edinburgh history and imposing architecture meets modern luxury, space, light and attention to detail.
Lovingly renovated by the owner who has “poured his heart in to it and has thought of every single detail to make our experience a fantastic one”.
For history buffs, this townhouse’s credentials are second to none, for it once formed part of the impressive premises of the famous Bartholomew Mapmakers firm, situated in Duncan Street from 1911 – 1995. Skilled craftsmen and women worked within the light filled and spacious building to produce world famous maps, maintaining Bartholomew’s reputation as one of Scotland's most influential map making firms.
This property has FREE parking which is rare bonus within Edinburgh.

First, we had a fabulous apartment—luminous, stylish, and very well fitted. Service was responsive and attentive. Our nearly two weeks was wonderful. we wish we could have stayed longer. Lovely.
This is a beautiful, light-filled apartment with plenty of room and every amenity one could wish. We liked the location—close to very good gastro pubs, parks, and shops but just far enough away from the tourist area to be peaceful.

Our stay was great. Townhouse was perfect for us, our son and my parents. Very comfy beds! Had everything we needed. Great location, great wifi, nicely decorated. We had a rental car so the parking was great. Property manager and owner were both very responsive. Enjoyed being close to Holyrood Park.
See my other note. Propert was great!

Very professional, answered queries quickly, very helpful.
Outstanding property. We have just spent a wonderful Christmas in Bartholomew Townhouse. The house was absolutely perfect with everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Beds and linen were 5 star quality and the kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed to cook and entertain on Christmas Day. The owners has thought of everything. Hope to stay again in the future..
