Family-friendly holiday rentals in Edinburgh

We had a lovely few days, staying at Appletree Cottage, with our two grandchildren aged 6 and 3. The cottage was very comfy and well equipped, and ideally suited our needs. Good location for many attractions such as Blair Drummond Safari Park, Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. We were lucky to have good weather so the excellent play area and hot tub were much enjoyed each day. Would definitely recommend booking.

great host with a great place. would highly recommend

We had a fantastic stay at Martin and Charul's apartment and would definitely stay there again! From the moment of booking to departure communication was flawless and we felt very welcome. The apartment was clean, decorated beautifully and we had everything that we could have needed. The apartment is well situated and only a short walk to princes street and Edinburgh Waverley so the perfect location to explore the city.

Lovely spot in a really great location. Check in was very easy, the apartment is very clean and has everything you could need. Can highly recommend.

Highly recommend Carol's listing. Great location and beautiful surroundings!

What a wonderful place! Exactly as advertised and more. Calum and Karen were very responsive and gracious. Always helpful with recommendations. It was a family trip so we did a lot of touring. After a long day of activities, it was always great to come back to this beautiful home . . . and the views are spectacular.

Only 30 mins drive from the airport, we were greeted by Drew to get a walk through. It's their family home so it has everything you could need, very spacious, private, safe, and friendly neighborhood. Only 5 minutes walk from a coastal restaurant we ate at every night. Takes exactly 1-hour to get to Waverly Edinburgh station by train, from the moment you leave the front door. We were a group of 5 work colleagues who all needed their own bedroom, and this space more than accommodated. Highly recommend. Amazing view of Edinburgh from every window. Evening beach strolls are a must.

We had an absolutely lovely time at Ali's place. Spacious, clean and very comfortable. Hot tub and garnden really make the place with stunning views. Easy access to Edinburgh by train and car and also the Fife coastal path. We loved it! would be very happy to return again one day. Ali was the perfect host.

We had a fantastic weekend in Edinburgh at Hanne’s. It had everything we needed. It was stylish, comfortable and Hanne’s communication was excellent, always quick to answer any question. The location was superb, great vibe, able to walk everywhere and in beautiful part of the City. Having secure parking was also brilliant. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you Hanne!!

Great place! Great welcome by Eleanor! Great communication! Great location! Thank you Eleanor!

The flat was warm, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. We didn’t cook but the kitchen was very well equipped. It is in a great location, only a couple of minutes walk to vibrant Stockbridge, but not noisy. The hosts were easy to contact and very helpful. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

Absolutely gorgeous apartment, very central to the city, yet still had that private, home from home feel. Beds are super comfortable and the place was squeaky clean. Craig and Holly are fantastic and super accommodating! I couldn’t recommend them more!

We had a lovely stay and were so impressed with Anna’s help at check-in with local recommendations - the location is just superb! The only con to this rental was some noise in the morning from an adjacent building that was emptying its glass recycling bins. However, we’d absolutely stay here again!

A lovely apartment in the city centre a few minutes from the station, spacious and very comfortable. Great views which made the 4 flights of stairs very worthwhile.

Excellent garden flat a few minutes from the many coffee shops/restaurants and buzz of Stockbridge. We were lucky with warm sunny weather and the main room is flooded with sunlight - and it was even warm enough to sit out at the huge table on the patio in the lovely garden with its blossoming magnolia tree. Nice bedroom with comfortable beds. The flat is stylishly decorated with a Japanese theme and has great bathroom/shower rooms. The flat is even nicer than the photos show, and is extremely quiet as it is set on a circular road that doesn't go anywhere. The owner Gordon is very friendly. The kitchen is small and there is not that much equipment, but sufficient for a simple meal and Edinburgh is full of loads of great restaurants to tempt you out. I would definitely stay again.

We had a fantastic time in Edinburgh and Colin’s place provided the perfect resting spot away from the hustle and bustle of the City Centre but super close and walkable nonetheless. Can’t wait to come back!

It was my first experience in uk Edinburgh was amazing.

The apartment is really bright and spacious and tastefully decorated. The living area and kitchen are perfect. The apartment has everything you need including a washing machine and dryer. Audrey explained everything very clearly to us when we arrived to drop off our luggage (the owners facilitated an early drop off before 4pm). In terms of improvements, the water boiler is quite noisy so if someone used the bathroom late, it could wake other guests. We would have appreciated shampoo in the bathroom - some of our party flew with hand luggage only with a small liquids allowance. We enjoyed our stay and it was convenient for the EICC, a 10-15 minute walk. The welcome breakfast pack was a nice touch. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, including Napoli-themed Pizzeria 1926 with delicious pizzas!

Had a wonderful stay with my family at Priscilla, would definitely recommend Priscilla. Dianne was great and friendly with communication. My Kids loved it and would love to visit again.

Absolutely beautiful, well-appointed flat. Fits all the of the amenities you could want into a lovely space that is walkable to different parts of the city. Would absolutely stay again!

We really enjoyed Karin’s apartment, exactly as per the pictures and very quiet but close to Cannongate and the Royal mile. Milk, biscuits and great Costa coffee pods. Bath room very nice with good products. Would definitely return.

Beautiful place and host was great with amazingly quick responses. Caravan was nice, clean and had everything you need
