Located at the foot of the royal Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat, the Pollack Estate campus offers bed and breakfast accommodations during the University of Edinburgh's summer vacation. Each room on the campus features a free Wi-Fi, and shared laundry and pantry facilities. Some rooms also offer a TV and a safety deposit box. Linen and towels are provided in all the rooms. Pollack Estate is just 1.5 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station and the historic Old Town, where guests can find the Royal Mile, the hub for many of Edinburgh’s festivals. In the mornings, an extensive breakfast is offered in the self-service restaurant at John McIntyre Conference Center. This is just 5 minutes’ walk from the rooms. Further local amenities include a general shop and a dedicated 24-hour reception center. Please be aware up until the 15th August, due to work to the roof of the building, there may be scaffolding on the external walls of the single standard shared bathroom accommodations. Contractors will be onsite between the hours of 9am – 6pm which may result in noise at times. We apologize for any disturbance this may cause. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries
