The Granary
We had a fantastic weekend staying here to celebrate my best friend. The house is gorgeous with so much space! The photos do not do it justice! There was a lovely pool and hot tub. Sarah came by to make sure we’d settled in and was available if we needed anything. We’d even got a later check out which was a great bonus. Everyone had a great time! I will definitely recommend booking The Granary! I would love to come back for another trip. Sarah had also left us a bottle of Prosecco to welcome us which was a lovely touch we appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

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 didn’t 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

Edinburgh, New Sea View Caravan
Absolutely beautiful caravan. Spacious and so accommodating and a stunning view!

Static Caravan Holiday Home
This was a lovely place to stay. I was attending a wedding close by and it was perfect for what we needed. Scott was great to communicate with and a really lovely guy, will definitely be back.

Static Caravan Holiday Home
Scots place was beautiful. Lots to do inside and outside. Kids had lot of fun as there were toys scooter and bike. There was colouring books and pens card games kids did not get enough time as we only booked for one night. Scott was kind and he extended our check out. Kids made the most out of it. Not far away from Edinburgh castle which was our holiday plans to explore Edinburgh city. Clean kitchen and toilet and shower. We had everything we needed in the caravan. Thanks Scott for making the one night stay comfortable. You are a star

Northfield, Garden Apartment (3 bedroom)
I booked this property at short notice and the reason was because I saw that it had a good location and also a pool for my children to play in the water and that since I had a short time, I saw this as a good space, but the only thing is that the pool cannot be used in cold weather.... But in terms of being large, clean and tidy and having amenities, it is a very suitable place, just because I wanted to go to Edinburgh, which was an hour away. Most importantly, the owner was very kind and polite. He also lived in the property next door and was a very nice person. When we returned, our cat was lost in the garden and he helped us find it with great kindness and patience. I am extremely grateful to him, I recommend that you travel there for rest and accommodation.

Northfield, Garden Apartment (2 bedroom)
Booked Northfield as a base close to family as well as attending events in the central belt. House was perfect for our family, clean, tidy and lovely big outdoor space. Little added extras such as the loaf of bread, milk, butter and shortbread was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend and have already passed on to my relatives abroad who may wish to visit the area in the future as an ideal base.

Edinburgh City, Sea & Nature Retreat
The house was very cosy and clean. The hosts are very sweet, kind and helpful. Thank you for having us in your lovely house !!

Bright and cosy duplex.
We loved staying at Ken’s place in the historic cottages. Very nicely renovated and modern inside, bus to Edinburgh right out the front, easy car parking, close to airport, a garden space; all great. Thoroughly recommend staying here for a trip to Edinburgh.

Cosy suite in quiet cul-de-sac
Had a wonderful stay in Jan’s suite. An amazing use of space with everything you need so well provided for. Lovely quiet neighbourhood & very easy access for busses to the city. Spotlessly clean with lovely fresh decor.

Luxury Private Mews House in Edinburgh’s New 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!

Zephirine Cottage - sleeps 4
Me and my friends visited this property, and this is one of the best properties we stayed. It was so beautiful and homey. Norrane is very lovely lady. She also guide us with all nearby places and afcourse, if we are coming back to Edinburgh then definitely would like to stay here again...

Converted farm steading.
This place was a beautiful spacious retreat at the end of each busy day of exploring Edinburgh and its surrounds. We were 2 couples on a 4 week tour around Scotland.. Whilst a little way out from the city the Pay and Ride option just a few kilometers away made it easy to get to the city Centre. The pay off was a tranquil and idyllic country/farm setting. The place was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and well equipped. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone planning to visit Edinburgh.. Thank you Christine ..

Historic Dean Village House
This was the most exquisite experience! It was like staying in a magical fairyland. The location is beyond perfect. You can access all the major sites by foot while staying in the heart of Dean Village. The history and the feel of being in this home gave us the ultimate happiness. We cannot recommend staying here enough! Book it!

City Centre, Entire Georgian House.
Many thanks Roisin for your nice tips on Edinburgh pubs and restaurants ! With a special mention to your drawing skills, we have kept your map as a precious souvenir 😉 M&M

Peaceful Coach House for four in Trinity,Edinburgh
The host is very friendly and responsive, the room is tidy, comfortable and clean, and the bedding is very comfortable.The only disadvantage is that the Wi-Fi signal is weak, and there is no signal a few steps away on the second floor

17th Century Dovecot, 20 min to Edinburgh by train
The house is relatively spacious for 2 people, and located less than 10 min walk to Inverkeithing train station. Door to door, you can be in Edinburgh in 30 minutes, which is very convenient. Leon was very responsive when we had questions. He helped us adjust the heating, and brought us an extra blanket when we asked him. A few points to note however: the bed is quite soft, and the light passes quite a bit through the curtains of the bedroom, so plan to bring an eye mask if you are sensitive to it.

Stylish New Town Home
The place was accurately described, it was very conveniently located with super restaurants nearby. We loved the area and no AC was needed. Super easy check in and out process.

The Cottage - STL No. EH-69949-F
Cindy's place was absolutely perfect for my stay in Edinburgh. She was extremely helpful and communicative, and she provided very helpful advice/tips for exploring the city and surrounding area. Transportation was super easy without a rental car as the bus stop was right at the end of the Cul de sac, and the bus system in Edinburgh is extremely cheap, safe and efficient. The cottage was very clean and cozy, and it is located in a very nice area. Would highly recommend!

Brunstane House - 15 mins to City Centre
A great base for a weekend getaway with friends, peaceful location but not too far from the centre. Spacious bedrooms, modern bathrooms and great living spaces!

2 bed spacious house
We had a great stay, very close to Edinburgh! You can walk to the train station from the apartment. The apartment was comfortable and exactly what we needed for a one night stay!

Self-contained ground level cottage with hill view
We stayed for 2 nights to attend a concert at Murrayfield. Exactly as pictured a perfect little home with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. To not also the bed is very comfortable ;) We were lucky enough to meet Ping such a helpful, kind and friendly host. Although the home is up a hill it’s clearly referenced in the description and down which a short, well serviced bus ride to the city, walkable to local shops and restaurants and a 30 min walk to the stadium. Hopefully we can stay again soon!

Stunning Mews house in Edinburgh’s West End
