Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Newington

Angela was a wonderful host - very friendly and responsive, and made me feel right at home (which was appreciated particularly as I arrived on a very rainy evening!). She went out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed to have a comfortable stay (eg hairdryer, tea, warmer blankets). I enjoyed chatting to her and would highly recommend her place to solo travellers, particularly female travellers as it is very safe and in a private and peaceful residential neighbourhood.

Great and clean house approximately 40 min. away from the city center. We were with the 4 of us and 2 of us had to sleep in the living room, but if you're not home that much that is not a problem at all. The neighbourhood was nice and quiet, and despite it not being close by any of the main tourist attractions of the city, the public transport to and from the city was relatively fast. The hosts were nice and easy to communicate with. Overall, a great place to stay! Would definitely recommend :)

Simply the best hosts. They go above and beyond. Really appreciated.

What can I say - our stay gave us a lovely taste of life in a charming little cottage with a garden! The interiors had a different character than the quaint exterior which made it all the more unique. I especially loved the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed—crockery, utensils, and more—so we could enjoy home-cooked meals at least once a day. After long days exploring Edinburgh, it was always a joy to return to this cozy home, rest our tired knees and feet and relax. Maria, our host, was friendly and helpful from the moment we booked right up to our check-in. She made everything feel smooth and welcoming. Getting into town was super easy—we took the bus most days, which was really convenient. We even started to feel like locals! 😆 Arthur’s Seat was just around the corner, and my husband and son hiked it three times during our 7-day stay. They loved it! If we ever return to Edinburgh, we’d absolutely love to stay here again.

Melissa’s place is amazing. 5 stars! There are a lot of wow characters in her place. The place is huge for just the two of us. The kitchen is spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed. The room is very comfortable and warm. We did not have to use public transport at all to get to all of the tourist spots. It is close to lots of the main sight seeing spots. Very convenient. Melissa is very friendly and helpful. She is very proactively with her communication. We supposed to contact her before we arrive but I did not read the instructions. She contacted us and sorted things. We only stay 2 days in Edinburgh, which we could stay for longer! Would stay in Melissa’s place again! Highly recommend it!

A beautiful home situated in the Deans Village. We had a great stay! Thanks for the recommendations in the city Crawfurd.

Some of the kindest hosts I have stayed with. Lovely home, can’t say thank you enough

The apartment was perfect for the two of us. It was about a 10 minute walk to the tram and about the same to Old Town. Shops and restaurants were just around the corner. The apartment was clean, and there was bread on the counter and milk in the fridge when we arrived. The aparment is upstairs, so you do have to go up a flight of stairs. It was a delightful place in the heart of Edinburgh!

Fantastic place to stay, clean and close to everything! Would highly recommend.

My husband and I had a great stay at Paul’s apartment! The apartment is even better in real life than in the photos. As others have mentioned, the communal spaces could use a little attention, though we knew that this is not within Paul’s control. The location was perfect for what we needed, Paul was responsive and kind, and the groceries he provided for our stay were a really, really nice touch. We’d stay here again should we come back to Edinburgh!

We absolutely loved our stay for the marathon! We found the flat to be very spacious for 4 of us and David clearly went above and beyond to think of any little extra you might need. The location is great and very central while feeling quieter and away from the hustle and bustle. We couldn’t get over the view of the castle! Would definitely reccomend

Helen and Amos were lovely hosts. We were pleasantly surprised at their hospitality. Lovely to chat to as well as they were very friendly.

Very convenient location. Apartment very well maintained,cozy and nice. The owner was very responsive. We enjoyed the very nice atmosphere of the place.

Many thanks for a great stay for our Edinburgh trip . 5 happy ladies. The property was very clean , and characterful and convenient with lots of restaurants and shop nearby . Thank you

Our stay at Paul’s place was great. It was walking distance to everything we wanted to do and the park was beautiful. Thank you for hosting us Paul!

Maria went above and beyond throughout our stay, was very communicative and helpful throughout. Location is great

Had a great couple of nights here. Very central. Walkable distance to supermarkets. Very cosy. Only downside was the shower base was very slippery.

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.

This place far exceeded our expectations!!! One of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed out. The comfort of the home is amazing and the decor is fun yet homie, yet the architecture was left to amaze and was well preserved. Felt like home right away. The location was great and was an easy walk to the Royal mile and everything else nearby. If returning to Edinburgh I’m booking here again.

Highly recommend Tara's place! It was a very clean, well-equipped home during our two day stay. She was easy to find and provided much info on the area and our home which gave us great comfort and independence during our stay. Check in and out was very easy and Tara was a very good communicator. We enjoyed our stay, and Tara, very much and highly recommend her place.

Aileen was an amazing host! The place was amazing and in a perfect location. Everything about the apartment was awesome. I would recommend staying here if it’s available. I will definitely be looking to stay here again next time I am in Edinburgh!

We loved our stay at the Snug - a short walk from supermarkets and the city centre (approx 25mins), plus local shops. The walk to the centre was free-lined and felt safe! The apartment was cosy and comfortable for 2 adults, and the water pressure/temperature was great. Decor felt homely and featured plenty of local touches which we loved!! Gabriella was flexible, friendly, professional, patient and receptive to feedback. For the price + amenities, we’d definitely choose to stay here again if visiting the city!

Quirky place with loads of space and character. Very clean and well set up too. The arrangements for key collection were very convenient and Alec who let us in and showed us round could not have been nicer or more helpful. We felt we had had an experience, rather than just an overnight stay. The building itself is a real one-off and has the look of a fairytale castle. Would recommend highly.

Andrew’s flat in Edinburgh is lovely. Nicely decorated, well appointed, and it has everything you need (kitchen, bath, laundry,etc.). Very nice surroundings - parks and location mean it is quiet. Close to restaurants (from fish ‘n chips to Gourmet dining ). A convenient John Lewis if you forgot something, as we did. Good bus service. We hope to return to Edinburgh again and would love to stay again.
