Cottage vacation rentals in Lothian

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

We absolutely loved staying at the cottage. This was our third place during our Scotland trip and I am so glad we booked it. It allowed us to explore more nature scenes across Scotland and simply have a safe and comfortable home after exploring all day. If we are ever in Scotland again, we will certainly book again.

Myself and 2 friends just had a brilliant weekend at Dawn and Darren’s cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The cottage was perfect for what we needed, the decor was lovely and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Hopefully later this year! Thank you Dawn and Darren.

We had a brilliant stay! Andrew was a great host and he was there to answer any of our questions. The lodge, hot tub and sauna were lovely. It was a great location with being on a farm. We loved meeting the dogs and the donkeys. The lodge matched the photos and was nice and clean. The directions to get there were very clear and so it was easy to find. I definitely recommend a stay here.

This was a great find. Katrina is one of the most responsive and informative hosts I have had on Airbnb. Being from out of the country we had several questions and she answered so quickly. There were some hiking trails near by which was a nice surprise, and Katrina recommended Gloagburn which was a hidden gem! Would recommend this to anyone looking to be off the beaten path but still have plenty to do!

We enjoyed a lovely stay at the house. Beautiful and serene surroundings. Was a great place to relax and unwind… Great day trips nearby. Would recommend you bring in all your provisions at the start of your stay and kitchen is fully equipped. Caroline was easy to contact and fast to respond. We chose to use the hot tub which was ready for us when we arrived and easy to operate. Our only wish was that had we known, it really should be drained & refilled after two days of use since there are no added chemicals (which is a plus) Overall a wonderful experience & would highly recommend

Excellent place to stay in Crail. Natalie was a great host and very communicative. The nest house was perfect for our short stay. Great location, very cozy, and very clean. Would definitely recommend!

Lucy is a very kind and generous person. She will do her utmost to help with any problems. Yesterday, I went out the back door to find a box of eggs from her chickens. She leaves them regularly. I know if there is anything where I need assistance I just need to ask and she's there. A truly super host

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at Ardormie farm cottage. The views are amazing and the cottage itself is lovely. Everything was perfect and comfortable. we really enjoyed being surrounded by sheep and on occasion wild red dear and birds of prey. the bed was very comfortable and the whole house was quiet and peacefull. would happily recommend Ardormie and would gladly stay here again.

A truly fantastic cottage in a wonderful location. The house has everything you need and is even roomier than it looks in the photos.

Just returned home from a lovely stay in the amazing Bartlehill Cottage. Absolutely spotlessly clean and even nicer than the photos. The garden is beautiful and the woodland walk was perfect for our lively terriers! The cottage is so well equipped and lots of thought has been given to supplying pretty much everything you may need. Furnishings and bedding are super quality and very comfortable. Lowri is the most perfect host, helpful and very responsive to messages. It was our first visit to Northumberland and the Scottish Borders and we'll definitely be returning to Bartlehill to do some more exploring!

We booked based on a recommendation from my Aunt who had stayed here last year. It’s a lovely spacious cottage in a quiet, peaceful location. Very homely. Had everything we needed and more! Would certainly visit again / recommend to friends. Thank you!

Beautiful place. Really enjoyed our stay. Very peaceful. Loved the surrounding area. Lots to do.

Catherine went above and beyond to ensure we had a comfortable stay. From the spotless rooms to the thoughtful touches, everything was perfect. We’d love to stay here again!

Probably the best Air B&B we have ever stayed in, and we have stayed in a lot! Fabulous scenery with wildlife outside your door. Welcome pack included roses, wine and the best home made lemon drizzle cake we’ve ever tasted. Unfortunately we had to leave a couple of days early due to my health, but we will be back at some stage, that’s for sure.

We came to Edinburgh for the marathon and stayed at Gregor’s lovely Airbnb– about 40 minutes from the city centre. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after the race. The host was fantastic, with great communication and clear directions that made everything seamless. The home itself was spotless, well-equipped, and much more spacious than the pictures suggest. The garden was a real highlight, beautifully kept with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and our pooches loved it! A peaceful, comfortable retreat that truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

If I could rate Julie’s place with 1000 stars, I would! I stayed at this home for 3 nights with a couple of friends while we vacationed in Edinburgh. It was such a fantastic experience! Julie was incredibly approachable, helpful and generous, and extremely pleasant to work with. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and well supplied with everything you would need to have a peaceful and relaxing visit. On my future visits to Scotland, I would most certainly stay here again!

We stayed 5 nights the end of May when all the flowering shrubs were in bloom. Its was truly a beautiful scene. We liked the quiet nature for walks on the property. We did some cycling trips from there also using the local train and cycle shop rental. The kitchen was great though we didn’t cook much. The local golf course had great food(vegan too) so we ate there several times. Everyone was so friendly in West Calder. We enjoyed a cosey fire one night. Nicola was very friendly, quick to respond for small stuff she rectified. I would love to return.

Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!

Wonderful stay near Rosslyn Chapel. Gorgeous view, enchanting garden, and lovely sunroom. The living room converts into a nice second bedroom. We had a great time!

What a fabulous cottage in an idyllic location with views to the sea! Lovely outside space too. Anne and Guy were great to deal with, responsive but not intrusive. Would definitely recommend and would stay again!

Possibly the best all-around AirBnB in which we have ever stayed. Lovely, comfortable decor. Immaculately clean. New finishes but still maintains a classic look. Wonderful private garden for the cottage. Amazing grounds landscaping means a view out every window. Good location for going into Edinburgh or quickly getting to local attractions. Roslynn Chapel just minutes away. Very responsive and friendly host. This one is a gem!
