Historic church conversion lofts with vaulted ceilings on Edinburgh's Royal Mile

Accommodation

Blackfriars Lofts sits inside a former church built in 1871, retaining the original vaulted ceilings throughout the apartments. Each unit offers a kitchenette equipped with a dishwasher, oven, and coffee machine alongside a flat-screen TV and private bathroom. The lofts include multiple configurations such as superior apartments with mezzanine sleeping areas and two-bedroom units that provide separate living quarters.
