Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Edinburgh Old Town

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.

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!

What a lovely spot! The space is very well designed and spotlessly clean. The washing machine was much appreciated…and the skylight and books in the bathroom! The mews street is very serene and peaceful with no noise other than the birds. Very comfy bed. It is a real bonus having the key to the lovely river gardens and the shortcut to Ann Street which makes the walk to the main drag of Stockbridge more convenient. Stockbridge is an idyllic neighborhood close to everything and from the house it’s just a short walk to Dean Village which is a must-see. I consider myself very lucky to have snuck in three nights here on short notice as this house is usually booked solid!

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!

This is the best place to stay in Edinburgh. The design and facilities are perfect. I really enjoyed my stay in this house. The owner is really kind and friendly.

This was my friend and I first time in Scotland and we had a wonderful stay here. The location is peaceful, about 30 minutes by car or an hour by bus to central Edinburgh. There’s a big supermarket and a few good restaurants nearby, which made things very convenient. The place was spotless and very well maintained. Susan and Gerry were lovely hosts, they welcomed us with a stocked fridge, a homemade loaf of bread, and muffins which was so kind of them! The home has so much character and history, and they kindly shared its story with us. Highly recommended!

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

This was one of our favorite AirBnb experiences! The location was perfect (near the tram and bus stops), and since we rented a car for day trips, the garage was an added bonus, not available in many AirBnb’s. Peter’s place was spotless and very comfortable for myself, my husband, and adult daughter. Great shower, very quiet neighborhood. We stayed during a heat wave and were not at all disturbed at night with the windows open. Peter has a large assortment of books about the history of Edinburgh and sightseeing opportunities, and we enjoyed looking through them. We would definitely stay here again!

Great, quiet spot! As the description says, it’s a bit of a walk from the tram and bus stops, mostly up hill. It was lovely to go back to a quiet, cozy space after long days of exploring!

We enjoyed our stay in Dean’s place. It was beautifully decorated and well equipped. His communication was great. The place was clean and located in a great place where everything was walkable. We would definitely stay at dean’s place again.

This was the perfect location for visiting Edinburgh!!!!! We were able to explore and drop back to the apartment to grab whatever we needed when we wanted. No need to lug things with you for the day. In 5min we were back “home” to drop things off, pick things up and off to explore again. For being just over a 5min walk from all the major sights, it was very quiet and comfortable. I’d highly recommend Lynn’s place and wouldn’t stay anywhere else when we come back.

Ann’s place was just what we needed for our two night stay in Edinburgh. The apartment is centrally located and within walking distance of all the major attractions , with a stunning view of the castle. The amenities provided allowed for a comfortable stay.

Excellent location for exploring Edinburgh! Easy to walk to attractions and plenty of places to eat nearby, but also quiet. Alan was a great host and provided detailed instructions to easily find the apartment.

Excellent location right on the Grassmarket. Just up some steps to the Royal Mile. A block away from Victoria St. Couldn’t be better located! Very stylishly decorated. Easy to find and enter. One of, if not the best, Air BnBs we have stayed in! Would absolutely recommend!

Excellent location, very easy to walk into town. Very Comfortable bed & linen. Excellent Deli at the end of the road. Great for breakfast. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Philip met us at check in and showed us in. Such a warm welcome. The place was perfect and so comfortable with tea and hot chocolate waiting for us at the end of a long day of touring. I would absolutely stay again. Perfect for the whole family!

I highly recommend Anke-Beate's flat. We would definitely return. The location is ideal to get around Edinburgh, it is spacious and even better than the photos. Everything was clean, and the added touches were very much appreciated. The flat is fully kitted out with everything needed. Communication was great. Thank you for a great stay!

The flat is cozy and the location is amazing! It's also wonderfully quiet at night considering it's right on the Royal Mile. The host was super friendly and helpful too and it's literally a 3 minute walk to the train station! For folks on longer trips looking to do laundry, make sure you allow time for your clothes to air dry because the flat's unit is just a washer, not a washer/dryer combination like we initially assumed. A convenient drying rack is provided though so it works fine as long as you give yourself enough time.

Amazing stay in a great location! The flat had everything you needed, was easy to access and a super homely vibe!

I felt like a celebrity in this beautiful and quiet flat, right off the main action of Edinburghs center. The bed was comfy and had sparkling white sheets. The bathtub was just perfect for a soak after all the walking we did. The kitchen set up was perfectly stocked with tea, coffee and breakfast essentials, plus or host gave us great info on local shops for any other needs. We got the inside scoop on some of the best local restaurants and bars. Oh! And a jar of homemade Scottish Shortbread greeted us on our arrival! Absolutely worth every penny, and every step it takes to get to the flat. I didn't want to leave this chic little jewel in Edinburgh.

Could not ask for a better location! The apartment is even more impressive than the photos - highly recommend.

We had an amazing time staying at Carly’s place. The apartment is so cute and clean and it is close to some excellent restaurants; generally great, central location. We would 100% stay here again if we get to come back!

Lovely apartment on a quiet street. Local amenities about a 5 minute walk away and a 25 minute walk to get to Princes Street. We had a great time in Edinburgh, thank you Mark for a lovely stay.

We had a great time! Location is unbeatable and the flat is very spacious for downtown Edinburgh! I was a little nervous about the noise level being on the royal mile but there were no issues, it was relatively quiet. Having the appliances were great, however we had a little trouble with the washer.
