Cottage vacation rentals in Edinburgh

Awesome cottage in a wonderful area, full of animals closeby! Highly recommend!!

The cottage was gorgeously idyllic and private. The cottage itself was super well appointed and comfortable. The exterior was landscaped beautifully and the views were breathtaking. We got engaged during our visit because my fiancé was moved to propose due to the perfect setting. We will return if we are back in the area.

We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

Great place to stay. Will definitely use again if working in the area. Thanks!

A tranquil and peaceful stay in this spacious and well equipped cottage. We were well looked after by Jenny and co. and felt totally relaxed. Enjoyed our interactions with farm life, which included birthing a lamb, petting the donkies and seeing the newborn kittens, it made our stay very special. The house is well located for trips into Edinburgh and Glasgow, or to enjoy nearby countryside. You won't regret it!

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.

We had a wonderful stay for our mini moon!! Our hosts where friendly and helpful we invited them for a drink with us it was fantastic knowing how they designed the place and their lives and points of interest for us to look out for. We enjoyed the hot tub so much and using the BBQ!! Was tidy and comfortable perfect for a couples get away. I highly recommend staying here the bus stop was just a minute walk from the front door and so close to Edinburgh!!

Fantastic stay, excellent lodge and facilities. Great place to stay. Highly recommend

We had a lovely stay. Portobello is a great base from which to explore Edinburgh. We are a family of four and found the accommodations to be perfect for us. Very quiet neighborhood with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!

An outstanding place to stay would highly recommend to anyone who’s eager to get away and relax.

We loved our stay at the cottage! It was a beautiful setting and so easy to get to the bus and access Edinburgh. The guest book had wonderful recommendations for everything locally! Thank you for a great and relaxing home base to explore the area!

Tigh Nam Muc is a beautifully decorated cottage with all the required amenities and very comfortable beds. It is ideal for trips into Edinburgh...would recommend the park and ride as parking fairly limited in the city centre. We enjoyed Portobello, the National Museum of Scotland, Dalkeith Country Park and Edinburgh zoo. Although not far from Edinburgh, it felt peaceful and quiet. Ideal for families like ours (toddler and a 4 month old!) Sue was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Pine Cottage was wonderfully comfortable. The cottage which is on a gorgeous golf course is very clean and well equipped. I would stay there every time I’m in Edinburgh if I could. We loved it!

Lovely hosts, they were always quick to respond to any questions I had. It was a quiet and cosy place to stay which stayed warm despite us staying in winter. Would recommend to others.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Gardener’s Cottage! The place is beautifully furnished – cozy and well-maintained. Everything was spotless and the cottage is equipped with everything you might need. The location is perfect – peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet just about 20 minutes from Edinburgh, making it super easy to explore both the city and the beautiful countryside. There are plenty of things to do in the area, from scenic walks to local attractions. We felt right at home from the moment we arrived and would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommended!

Such a lovely place, the house is in a unique position a little above the main street and the views are exceptional. South Queensferry is a pretty little town with lots of restaurants, pubs and independent shops plus easy to get into Edinburgh (car, train, bus). The house is so well thought through, clean, tidy and cleverly makes the most of the space. A really special place to spend your break.

Very comfortable, great location, and smooth check-in process - would stay again!

Very lovely cottage in beautiful countryside, stunning views from the garden. Cosy, lots of character, attractive contemporary interior, good bathroom and en-suite loo. We didn’t see much of the hosts (family wedding, hectic itinerary) however pre-arrival communications were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again.

Perfect position in the beautiful Stockbridge, highly recommended

We had a great stay! The instructions were clear and we had no trouble getting into the apartment. When we arrived we were pleased to see a book of local recommendations. The area is very quiet and private, but also a quick walk or very easy bus ride into the city center. We really enjoyed using it as a jumping off point to explore Edinburgh.

Booked this for my dad, mum, aunty and uncle for their adventure in Scotland and they said it was very lovely lace to stay, comfortable, pretty, and the host was lovely.

What a beautiful spot! Very quiet. We all slept very well! Wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate the beautiful surroundings. It is a little remote so if you don’t have a car (which we didn’t) may end up being a little expensive going in and out of Edinburgh, but we always got an Uber when we wanted one. Perfect for walkers and cyclists. Wish we had time to explore the area more. We may be back! Thanks, Kerry!

Russell’s place was perfect and comfortable for us. We hope we can use it again as our son lives near by.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Boathouse. It was relaxing and beautiful. Swans, ducks, and geese (even baby swans) greeted us on the first morning. A long walk around the grounds in the evening provided stunning views of Dundas Castle. That walk is a must! Everything is set amongst lush green and beautiful flowering rhododendrons. The cabin is just right for two- cozy and private with beautiful views.
