House vacation rentals in Edinburgh

Lovely Thank you for having us :)

Amazing caravan just a short walk from the beach and a local coop the entertainment complex is ideal for the kids the caravan was clean and tidy has that welcome feeling we cannot wait to visit again.

We had a great family stay and the space was perfect for the four of us. The caravan was incredibly well stocked with a lot of thoughtful amenities. The location was fantastic for exploring the beautiful East Lothian coast.

A great place to spend your vacation, or just a few days to relax and get away from the routine. Very attentive host and great to negotiate with.

Second time staying here as it’s perfect for a family of four. My children love watching the planes and trains from the living room and have lots of space to play, and enjoyed exploring the garden. The house is very comfortable and cosy and the kitchen is well equipped. Definitely need a car to stay here as it’s a long way from any public transport but it was a great base for visiting Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

This Airbnb is full of aesthetic charm, thoughtful architecture, and personal touches that make it truly special. The beautifully designed stairs, curated lighting, and carefully chosen decorations reflect the host’s artistic soul — especially through their own artwork displayed throughout the home. Every detail, from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedroom, is designed from the guest’s perspective with comfort and quality in mind. Staying here offers a taste of slow living in Edinburgh — waking up to views of Arthur’s Seat, listening to the radio while cooking, or playing board games lovingly prepared by the host. After 10 nights, we know we’ll miss this warm, beautiful house deeply. Highly recommended.

Justyna’s place is a beautiful, warm and welcoming home. It’s actually the family’s residence and she’d given it on Airbnb while they may be traveling. We went there around Christmas so we got the house all decked up with a beautiful lit Christmas tree, something which came as a pleasant surprise and goes on to show how thoughtful the host is! What’s great about the place: - Squeaky clean (you get the house in such spic & span condition that you are always too careful to keep it that way!) - Has everything one needs - Equipments all working; kitchen was very organised - Supplies were generous (both in kitchen, bathroom etc) - Peaceful and safe neighborhood - Justyna is very responsive and friendly; she was very accommodating for a late checkout - Gorgeous backyard What one can be mindful of when booking: May be it was the public holidays but cabs from the neighborhood to city centre have a longish wait time (15-20 mins) so one has to plan accordingly. Will definitely stay again!

Really lovely place, exactly as advertised and Allan was helpful with instructions to get in and out. Great to have the space to cook as we had kids and didn't want to eat out all the time. You do need to have a car or be prepared to get the bus into the city every day but they are regular and easy to navigate. Walkable to Edinburgh zoo which was one of the reasons we wanted to visit. Had a great visit and really enjoyed ourselves.

We had a fantastic stay at Pauline's place in Edinburgh. The location is absolutely perfect, making it easy to explore the city. The space was spotless and very comfortable, clearly maintained with great care. Pauline was an exceptional host—very helpful and responsive to all our questions and needs. We would highly recommend staying here and would love to return on our next visit

Really nice place to stay, super close to everything can either walk or get an uber or tram. Everything was clean and all amenities were available for our weekend stay. Would recommend!

Great property, would definitely recommend it.

It is a gem of a place that is particularly well-suited for family accommodation provided not bigger than four or five people. The environment is quiet and the property has a distinct green feel to it. The distance to the city centre means that one has the advantage of seeing and experiencing some of the greenery and beauty of Edinburgh.

The place is fantastic for a family. We stayed here for two nights, but could have easily spent much longer. Not only was the place great, the location was great with lots of amenities nearby. The hosts were fantastic, polite, respectful, and very welcoming.

Cindy is a first class host - helpful and quick to respond but not overbearing - and the cottage did not disappoint. It was spotlessly clean and exactly like the photos, with a well equipped kitchen and comfortable bed and sofas. Everything seemed new or barely used and the layout has been well thought out, giving us some ideas for our own up-coming renovation to be honest. We would definitely stay again if we were in the area. Edinburgh itself was easy to access using the excellent bus service which stops literally at the end of the cul-de-sac. If you like browsing antiques, Drum Farm Antiques is worth the drive to visit.

Beautiful and clean home, exactly as per the listing. Host was super friendly and checked us in herself, giving us a tour and tips for the property. Short drive to the city and located in a quiet, safe neighbourhood. Only stayed the one night but would highly recommend.

Our stay at Mary's was everything we hoped for and more! Such a lovely home in a bucolic village along the Firth of Forth - we loved it! Close to the train to Edinburgh, Glasgown and Troon; close to motorways heading to points north, and a quiet town for breakfast by the water. It provided us with a great base for seeing Scotland and it felt like coming home every day. Mary was so easy to connect with - unfortunately we left as she was coming home so that is my only regret! I would absolutely reach out to Mary again when we come back! Thank you Mary, for sharing your home with us. It truly made our stay in Scotland a memorable one. Mike & Annie and family

Thank you for hosting us! We loved the house so much! The place was exactly as described—clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. The location was convenient and quiet, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The host was friendly, responsive, and gave great local recommendations. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Great place, within walking distance of grocery stores and coffee shops. (Try HATA coffee shop, amazing coffee and porridge). Julie’s place is cozy and has good amenities, (it has a Nespresso coffee maker but no coffee pods, so it was useless). The living room has to large couches but a bit dirty and worn cushions. Other than that, great place and you are within 10 minutes by uber ($20) from all major attractions in Edinburgh.

The house was clean and spacious with all the amenities that we needed for a relaxing weekend. It was a nice touch to have toiletries available for guests, my teenage boys appreciated the huge television!

Great part of Edinburgh to stay within local restaurants bars and Stockbridge only a 10minute walk away. Great areas to go for a run also down to inverleith and botanical gardens.
