About
Numberfive All the apartments
are within an impressive Georgian style building set
back from the main road where there is unrestricted
parking. There is an excellent bus service almost at
the door. Buses run to and from Princes Street every
5 minutes during the day. They take approximately 20
minutes and the adult fare is £1 each way.
We have owned and operated the apartments
for over 20 years. We provide comfortable, clean and
affordable accommodation for the discerning visitor
and operate a no smoking policy throughout the building.
Whether you stay in a single room or one of our self
contained suites you'll find that each is furnished
and equipped to a high standard. The volume of repeat
visitors and word of mouth allows us to keep our costs
low and offer very competitive prices.

cafes and take aways are open late in the evening and

groceries with you.
