Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Midlothian

There are some places really worthy of a detour to find exceptional warmth and hospitality -Fiona offers both these and more in abundance at her gorgeous home . I loved every aspect of my stay and have no hesitation in recommending this place. A fabulous Airbnb

This is a beautiful place to spend some time while in Scotland. Claire, Bruce (and Penny the dog) were warm and friendly hosts. The house was cozy and clean and the surroundings absolutely stunning. Easy to navigate even if you don’t have a rental vehicle, as taxis are readily available with knowledgeable drivers (and Claire and Bruce are happy to accommodate pick up and drops offs - even in the early morning if that’s what’s needed!). I’d definitely recommend this stay to any traveller looking for a peaceful rural experience.

We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect, and the house had such a unique charm. We wish we could have spent more time at the house, but we were eager to explore the city. John was an excellent host, and his two daughters were a true delight. Most mornings, we enjoyed breakfast with the two of them, and they were wonderful company, sharing stories and laughter. If we ever return to Edinburgh, this place will definitely be our top choice!

Thank you, Debbie! Excellent and immaculate accommodation. Very comfy bed! Great communication from Debbie before and during stay. Very welcoming host made the whole stay relaxing. Super location for access as well as walking distance to grocery shop and several eateries. Would definitely recommend.

I came to the area for a 3-day workshop. I had plenty of time and space to prepare for my studies. H and Jimmy were also very personable and easy to socialise with. I felt like I was staying with friends. The complimentary breakfast was lovely. I highly recommend staying with H and Jimmy.

Lucy's place is a hidden gem in Edinburgh. The location is lovely with the green space of The Meadows directly opposite. It is also easy walking distance into the city centre. The room is spacious and comfortable and decorated with personality and charm. Crisp white linen on the comfortable bed and a decent shower. There is a kettle with tea and coffee available. And there are also a couple of excellent cafes within a minutes walking distance if you like a flat white fix first thing! I would definitely stay here again.

We found Amanda's after cancelling somewhere else that let us down. We knocked on their door which must have put them on the back foot but after we explained both Uzi and Amanda turned the room around so quickly for us to stay and were so friendly. The room was luch with a great view (Tunnock Tea cake on the pillow) :-) and Uzi left breakfast and even a bottle of wine out side on the landing which was so lovely. Even though its a shared house you still have privacy and easy to get in and out. Location you are straight out onto the high street and we had so much fun exploring.. and when we got back the bed was so comfy!! seriously such a good nights sleep! We will definitely stay again if they will have us :-)) big thanks x

James was the perfect host! Very knowledgeable and friendly, helpful and seemingly a jack of all trades! The house was comfortable and inviting, very homey and well thought out. Everything you could need and more is there. Thank you for a very memorable stay and visit to Houpetown Castle 💕

Carole's place is highly recommended. You can reach everything on foot - both the city center and Dean Village or Stockbridge and the Water of Leith Walk. The house itself is wonderfully furnished, every detail is right, everything is sparkling clean. Carole's breakfast in the beautiful kitchen is a pleasure every morning. The view of her garden - great! Well, and Carole herself is a very friendly and attentive person...

The hosts have a very welcoming vibes. They are respectful and always ready to give a helping hand and very considerate in everything. The place feels like home and the ambiance was peaceful, calm and relaxing. We will absolutely recommend staying in Sinan’s place.

Great stay near Arthur's Seat! Always nice to stay with the owner who can share insights about the city. Lewis was very helpful and friendly, making recommandations and showing around. Nice and quiet neighborhood. I totally recommend!

I stayed for a couple of days and felt really welcome! It’s a nice place near the seaside—perfect for some quieter moments when you’re visiting Edinburgh. I had breakfast every morning and some really interesting conversations about life, which made my trip to Scotland even more special. There are great places to eat and pubs within a short walk

Glenternie house is a beautiful home rich in history. The interior decorations have been kept true to the period the house was built. Although it does not qualify as a manor house, due to comparatively smaller land area, it has the look and feel of a manor house, with all the tradition that comes with it. The house was easy to find using online map applications. Plenty of parking. The location is out in the country of the Scottish Borders and is one of the quietest, most peaceful places I have ever stayed in. Plenty of room to get out and stretch your legs, and a beautiful garden to wander around in. We agreed to the in house dinner offered by Lucy. The food was amazing, far better than we had in most restaurants. Lucy was very attentive and answered the myriad of questions we had as newcomers to the UK, and Scottish Borders. The bed was very large and comfortable, with an ensuite tub and bathroom and beautiful decor. Definitely would stay again.

This is how airbnb is meant to be. We got welcomed with a cup of tea in our nice room, had a good sleep and in the morning a breakfast like you wish for everyday. Mary and John are very nice educated people with whom you can talk about a lot of things, and we did. Breakfast took almost 2 hours, and in that time we became more than just guests. Later on in the week Mary guided us through the Royal botanic gardens, so nice. We will go back there.

Eleanor is one of the most beautiful and thoughtful person I ever met in my life. Her kind gesture is so admirable. I truly felt like home and really wanted to stay some more days. Even though this was not the correct time for that I will definitely come back to this beautiful place again.

We absolutely loved our stay with Laura! Before we arrived, Laura was communicative and sent us recommendations and helpful instructions for our arrival. Then, drom the moment we arrived Laura was so warm! We felt at home and welcomed. Having stayed in several places across Scotland, this was by far our favorite B&B. The curated art, luxurious bedding, and fantastic breakfast showcased an incredible attention to detail. Plus, the view from the room of the sea was fantastic! The Dundonald B&B is perfectly situated in the charming town of Culross, we enjoyed strolling around the town and soaking in its rich history. If you're an Outlander fan (we are) the B&B is down the street from Mercat Cross, which was where they filmed parts of the fictional village of Cranesmuir. Plus, there's an alehouse just around the corner that has a wonderful menu! Highly recommend staying here! Our only regret is we did not stay for longer.

The room in Jessica’s house was the perfect accommodation for a solo traveler, enough space to be comfortable and spread out a little, with a very comfortable and warm bed, right next to the bathroom, with soundproofing good enough that you will barely notice other people using it. Jessica herself was an amazing host who did her utmost to make me welcome, even offering the occasional food and beverages; never intrusive, always helpful, with some great recommendations for things to do in the city and beyond. Jessica was also just a great and colourful conversationist with many an interesting story to tell. Don’t hesitate to book a stay with her.

Tracey was adorable; so lovely and friendly and couldn’t do enough for me. I felt very safe and comfortable. Everywhere was very clean and tidy, the bed was comfy, and there’s lots to do round about. Accessibility to the environs was easy, including the main city of Edinburgh. The coast was also only a 2 minute drive. Thank you for everything Tracey x

We had a the lovely few days at Carol's house; the bedroom and bathroom were lovely and very comfortable and beautifully clean. Carol cooked us a delicious breakfast each day, and was very accommodating with providing an early breakfast for my husband when he had to leave early the first morning and then cooking me breakfast later. The area is beautiful, and we would love to return to see more of it. Finally, Carol & her husband were very friendly and made us feel very at home. We would highly recommend!
