About Shrubhill House, Edinburgh
With 260 rooms, Shrubhill House (formerly known as Liberty Village - Shrubhill) puts students at the beating heart of life in Edinburgh. Located just off Leith Walk, it’s a 30-minute walk to campus and even less to the historic city center.
Studying at the University of Edinburgh? All of Shrubhill House’s en-suite rooms are reserved exclusively for you and feature a private bathroom, study desk, and plenty of storage space. You’ll then share a full-fitted kitchen and living space with your flatmates. Looking for a little more independence? Our studio flats take away the need to share, leaving you to cook and relax in privacy.
Break away from the comfort of your flat and you’ll find a large communal area. Here, you can bond with your neighbors over pool and ping pong, or settle down for some work in one of our study areas.
Shrubhill House is blessed with an incredible location. Right on your doorstep you’ll find incredible pubs, bars, and restaurants, and there are even more options in Leith (just a mile away) and the city center. Both Old Town and New Town are perfect for exploring, with hundreds of shops and eateries spread throughout the pretty, narrow streets.

If you do that, you will not be charged and we will return your deposit or any Advance Rent Payments you have made.

If a replacement Tenant is found for your Room after your start date, we will release you from your Tenancy Agreement from the start date of the replacement Tenant's new Tenancy Agreement. If you have occupied the Room before this, you will be charged £50.00 to cover our costs of preparing the Room for the replacement Tenant.

You may also be eligible to be removed from this agreement if you are a prospective first-year undergraduate student and choose to go to a different University because you have exceeded your expected grades. To apply to be released from this agreement in the circumstances referred to above, you will need to supply us with a copy of the following:
