Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Edinburgh Old Town

Melissa’s flat has been put together with so much thought, it is stylish, cosy, and comfortable. It is perfectly located to be walkable for all the main sites in Edinburgh and has lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops, and bars nearby (and Melissa provided a guidebook to help find the best spots). Melissa was incredibly accommodating and even arranged an infant cot for us. Would absolutely stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay at Melissa’s place. The home was beautifully presented, peaceful, and had everything we needed. It’s a perfect spot for families — calm, spacious, and very well-equipped. Melissa’s hospitality was truly wonderful and made us feel right at home. We’d happily return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable getaway.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage is very cozy and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Our toddler especially loved exploring outside and had a great time running around the old Kirk next door. A lovely, peaceful spot—we’d definitely stay again!

Truly spectacular view in a wonderful setting. Gorgeous property that is obviously a project that is well loved. We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again.

This beautiful home held everything we were looking for. The area is very walkable and peaceful. Kenneth was lovely to welcome us and we had everything we needed. Lovely stay!

I stayed here for my wedding weekend, we used the accommodation for a pre-wedding get together and getting ready on the morning of… hair, make up etc. The place was bright, spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend to others if they were looking for a great air bnb in South Queensferry!

Great base to explore the city. About a 40min walk to Old Town. Beds are comfortable and Jamie was very helpful. Thanks for everything!

We had a fantastic stay at Green Cottage. Craig was very helpful from the start with travel tips and luggage drop off information. Craig provided very useful information for checking in and locating the cottage, everything was easy to follow. The cottage is in a lovely location, within walking distance of the Royal Botantial Gardens and the coast line. It is also near many bus routes and easy to visit all the tourist sites in Edinburgh.

We stayed here for 1 night as it was my sons graduation the flat was perfect for what we needed, very clean easy to get to & very quiet , it was an added bonus that after a long day travelling & the graduation there was a nice wee pub right out side the flat the old bell

Amazing, cozy historical space in a prime location. Great communication from hosts. Strongly recommend, will be back!

We had an amazing stay at Skye's. She and her mum Rosie were so lovely, kind and accommodating and made us feel at home. The flat is beautiful, cosy and was super clean. Rosie gave us lots of recommendations for our time in Edinburgh which was much appreciated. The flat is super well-located among lots of lovely cafes and shops, near Arthurs Seat and an easy walk or bus ride into the centre. Amazing value for money in an otherwise expensive city for accommodation. We will definitely return next time we are in Edinburgh!

Ruth was responsive and available. This is the kind of stay we wanted, quiet and not directly in the city.

The perfect place to stay when visiting Edinburgh! Easy to walk to shops and restaurants and the castle! It should be noted that you do have to climb to flights of spiral stairs to get to the apartment. So I would not recommend booking this Airbnb if you have troubles getting up steps. Other than that I highly recommend!

Craig and Holly were extremely responsive and went above and beyond. They even ordered us a second booster seat highchair for our two babies. They had a healthy supply of toys for the children, and the house was very baby proof. The flat is beautiful, close to everything (pubs and restuarants), and just overall so peacefully to be in. It hosted 7 adults and two children very comfortably. Each room was very soundproof so it made it feel like each couple in each room could truly retreat into their own space. Overall, just a great a great experience overall with the hosts, the space and location.

All good, great place, easy to access, great location.

Very spacious flat with a very well equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and we felt instantly comfortable and kind of at home. Super parking space. The flat is located in a quiet area near the beach. Pamela and Greg were more than friendly and helpful. We loved everything.

We liked everything, the price is good

Amazing house with lots to do. The room at the top of the spiral stairs was just a bit difficult to get into and out of, with low ceilings, and it gets warm up there. One more bathroom for that number of bedrooms could be nice... but it all worked out. It was pretty close to perfect for our family reunion. And it's great for hide and seek! We recommend it.

This house was exactly as advertised. Spacious and beautiful. Perfect for two families. Check in was easy and Jacki was very responsive.

we have just left Howford house after a lovely 3 night weekend stay to celebrate my husbands 40th. we were a family of 14 adults, 2 children and a newborn baby and we had the most peaceful comfortable stay. the house is fantastic, it has everything you need and the location although super private and peaceful, it was near restaurants, the coop supermarket, Traquair House and land which we got discounted because we were house guests, and lots of walks and hikes. the surrounding acres were stunning with the frost and autumn leaves. we all loved our stay, the kids (and the adults) didn't want to leave. special thanks to Elaine the housekeeper who was brilliant with her communication and help. we will recommend and be back in the future.

Stayed here for 2 nights with 5 other adults - one of the best decisions! As a start, check-in was smooth. Everyone has their bed, towels which is great. Had to figure out the heater (our country is Summer all year) and Lukas was very responsive. This location is almost a straight drive to the city centre. With free parking at the location, it gave us great relief to know we won’t get penalised. Love this place! I would recommend this to others.

Very conveniently located at the gateway to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Highland. Three minutes driving away from the M74 with a Tesco Superstore at walking distance. Landlord is nice and responsive. While we only stay at the ground floor (the landlord’s parents live upstairs - super nice too) all used areas including the entrance are exclusive. It has three spacious bedrooms, one dining hall, clean, tidy and classic. Well maintained and equipped with everything for a family stay. The garden is beautiful and neighboring to an amazing farm with many lovely sheep and cows. We truly loved it!

Entering this well appointed, beautiful home, there is a feeling of warmth and relaxation. The skylights bring in the natural light to the bathrooms. The Kitchen is modern and sleek, with everything you need to make a first class meal. The visually stunning, spacious backyard has a wonderful garden. There is a park just behind the house. My daily jog would lead me down to the beach. Here i would do a quick cold plunge- rejuvenating my body. The area is surrounded by a world renowned collection of golf clubs. The Longniddry golf club is a short walk and is a fun track. Thank you for being great hosts.

Nice quiet family room. Good host. Close to beach. No complaints
