Northfield, Cottage Apartment
We loved our stay! Everything was clean and the bedroom were very nice with comfortable beds. The house had a very cozzy feeling to it. We didnât had the right plugs for the phone charger and they were nice enough to borrow us 4. On the day of our check out we needed ice to put in the insulin container of my mom and they went above and beyond to get some ice for us, really thankful for that! Overall I would really recommend this place. Location was great too, close by to the beach and restaurants and just 1 hour away from Edinburgh

The Historic Dalkeith Water Tower
My husband and I stayed at the Water Tower for 3 nights. It is beautifully restored with so much attention to detail. In arriving we explored it in total awe. It is very comfortable and each bedroom has an ensuite toilet and hand basin. The bathroom is totally wonderful - especially having a bath. The sitting room at the top has a sensational view and is very comfortably furnished. As previous reviews have mentioned the Water Tower is well equipped and we were made very welcome by Susan and Gerry and greeted with homemade muffins and our choice of breakfast ingredients. The Water Tower is really well located, with Morrisons, a wonderful Indian Restaurant called Itihaas for dinner and an incredibly convenient bus service to Edinburgh (ÂŁ2 per ride - use your card on your phone to pay) - all just around the corner. The Water Tower is an incredibly special place and we would stay again if/when we come back to Edinburgh. Thank you very much Susan and Gerry for hosting us.

Stunning, quiet cottage + garage in city centre
Peterâs mews apartment was a great place and perfect for our short stay in Edinburgh. Being located in a back lane it was quiet yet very close to the centre of Edinburgh and all its attractions. The property itself was warm and comfortable with everything needed for our stay. It also has the added bonus of secure, free garage car parking below the apartment. We would certainly consider booking again and will recommend to friends and family.

Central Holiday Cottage with Garden & Free Parking
A lovely quiet cottage in the middle of leith. Will definitely book again.

Claddagh
Loved staying here and Marie was the best host. The house was just outside of the main part of the city which made for peaceful evenings and the bus stop was less than a minute walk away and so easy to buy tickets. We did the whole week trip using public transportation and walked to the grocery store around the corner. Marie gave us all the information we needed on how to navigate the city what was nearby and even offered to call us our taxis on departure day. Marie was such a sweet and thoughtful host and the house was so cozy and comfortable for our party of 7 (2 adults 2 seniors and 3 kids 10 and under) if we ever have the chance to make it back to Edinburgh we wonât stay anywhere else!

Free Parking-Close to City-3 Bedrooms
Everything absolutely as described. Felt homely and welcoming. Ideal for a few days exploring Edinburgh. Local supermarket 2 minute walk away was handy for milk and supplies.

A beautiful well appointed comfortable family home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Helen and Jamie's home! We especially appreciated how well it accommodates a large group like ours (of 16)! Our youngest brother was getting his master's degree at the University of Edinburgh, so my parents, my sister's family and my family decided to come and join him for the holidays. Every family had their own "wing" of the house, with our parents in the middle and then each sister's families down a different hallway, with each family also having their own bathroom. We even had enough room for our brother and his fiancé to come and stay in the house with us (on the third floor)! It was fantastic. The beds were divine, and the heated bathroom floor was one of my favorite treats. Jamie and Helen were very kind and helpful, making suggestions for restaurants in the area. We were close enough to the city of Edinburgh that we easily went into town every day, but far enough out that it felt relaxing and away from the hustle and bustle if we wanted to be.

Dalkeith 2 bedroom house with private garden.
I rented an apartment for my parents for a week and we are very satisfied. The apartment was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. In addition, Marcin was very kind, asked if we were missing anything, and answered all the questions. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! :) Eng: I rented this apartment for my parents for a week, and we were very happy with our choice. The apartment was clean and looked exactly like in the pictures. Additionally, Marcin was very good host, asked if we needed anything, and answered all our questions. Once again, thank you for a wonderful stay! :)

Gardener's House
A really lovely and well-kept accommodation, close to Edinburgh but set in a beautiful country estate. The cottage itself is spacious, cosy and very well equipped. If you have dogs and/or small children itâs ideal, as you can walk from the doorstep without dealing with any busy roads. Thereâs an excellent fenced off area which keeps your dogs penned in. If youâre a cook, the equipment is very good and plenty of utensils. Childrenâs bib and plate also available, toys in the sitting room. Heating is very efficient and we were provided firewood which was nice. Definitely recommend for families for cosy holidays and outdoors activities and also good proximity to Edinburgh- the local towns also have trains to the city.

Immanuel House - Luxury Modern Victorian Home 1872
The house was clean and spacious with all the amenities that we needed for a relaxing weekend. It was a nice touch to have toiletries available for guests, my teenage boys appreciated the huge television!

Spacious home near airport, Murrayfield and city!
Fantastic from start to finish! Great communication beforehand and on the day of check in with very clear instructions. The accommodation was exactly as described and spotless. Would highly recommend to everyone, had an amazing stay - 10/10. Thank you so much đ

Murrayfield Gatehouse
Fiona is a great host and we loved staying there. Itâs close to some great places such as, the Zoo and Murrayfield stadium if you going to a match. The old Roseburn railway walking track is 10 minutes away and is great way to explore the surrounding areas. Fionaâs place is very comfortable and welcoming. We particularly liked the modern kitchen,as with 2 small children we were able to whip something up for them very easily. Taking advantage of the dedicated parking spot allows exploration further afield which found very convenient. Fiona didnât impose but was always there if needed. We really liked this approach and we will definitely be returning for another long stay in the near future.

The Travellers Rest
Another great stay

Historic Georgian Entire House - The Royal Mile
Great place in a fantastic location, easy walking distance to everything the old town has to offer. The host was super responsive and very helpful throughout our stay, even letting us use the parking space outside the house for a few more hours after check out. 10/10 would recommend for a group trip to Edinburgh.
