Edinburgh waterfront, 3 bed, balcony, apartment.
This is a very well appointed apartment on the fourth floor with an impressive balcony looking at the port of Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth.

Spacious City flat Accessibility, freeparking&WIFI
The flat was very good and the host was the best above all❤️ very kind nature and friendly. Lots of love to you and to your family

Bijou by the Bridges, Stunning Seaside Apartment
Angie’s flat is wonderful and good for family travel. We got everything necessary during the stay and the environment is just perfect. Angie is so kind to allow us to check out late. We felt in love with the place, thank you for everything!!!

The Cooperage on The Shore
One of the best and most original Airbnb's we have stayed in. Very well-equipped with beautiful furnishings and features in a historic building. Lovely views on to the Water of Leith. The location is superb, situated in the best area of the Shore, with many bars and restaurants and lovely walks along the Water. Great public transport links to Edinburgh, including tram. Another bonus was the private parking, and accessibility. The early check in was a bonus meaning we could enjoy a full afternoon in the area. If I were to specify our ideal place to stay on a visit to Edinburgh, Leith - this would be it . Finally, thank you, Robert, for the great welcome packs, milk, fruit and treats etc. We can't wait to come back for another short stay.

Central Spacious Flat With Parking and Balcony
Great flat. Has all amenities, clear instructions and was very clean. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to stay in Edinburgh.

Modern 1-bed & study waterfront flat in Leith
Emily's flat was perfect for a few days in Edinburgh and had everything we needed. Comfy bed, great shower and a lovely kitchen. It's the perfect spot for visiting the city, a 3 minute walk to the tram, which takes 15 minutes to the city centre (we walked one day and it was only 40 minutes). Emily gave us loads of recommendations for places to eat and they were all brilliant. Brunch, dinner, coffee, cocktails, you're spoiled for choice in Leith. Emily is a proactive, responsive and really helpful host and I would definitely look to stay again the next time I visit Edinburgh.

Waterfront Apartment, views over Water of Leith
Perfect accommodation. Did not realise how great Leith is. Perfect location to explore Leith and Edinburgh. Defo would stay here again when visiting Edinburgh

Old fisherman's Cottage No 4 (free parking)
Amazing little cottage, immaculately decorated and spotlessly cleaned, with everything thought out and had everything we needed for our stay. Location is great, bus services into town are very regular and we found them very easy to use. Cant wait to return sometime! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh

Cosy cottage - sea views, Fife Coastal Path, Golf
We had a truly lovely stay at the Cottage! The place had everything we needed and more; beautifully decorated, comfortably furnished, and incredibly well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The garden looked absolutely stunning, it was such a shame we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it properly due to the weather. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from the beach and beautiful walks, ideal for taking the dogs and kids out first thing in the morning. One of the real highlights for us was the bed, honestly, it might be the most comfortable one we’ve ever slept in! All the information provided was super clear, and both Jane and Joyce were incredibly quick and helpful in responding to any questions we had. We truly loved the place – it made our visit feel extra special.

Cottage near Edinburgh, West Linton, Borders
Absolutely wonderful! The setting was beautiful and peaceful, on a lovely farm in the countryside. The cottage was cosy, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. Mary was incredibly kind and always happy to help. It was the perfect countryside getaway — we truly enjoyed our stay and would love to return!

Craigiehall Keep
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.

3 bedroomed near city centre
My family had an absolutely amazing long weekend at Charles’ home. Kenneth supported a very smooth check-in and was super friendly and responsive. I really appreciated that the hosts were very responsive and also transparent about the feasibility of staying in their home with a baby. The home itself was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful kitchen, and was very peaceful to relax while watching the river flow by. We will be back!

Relax at the edge of a loch, near Edinburgh
Our stay was just the best. The location was beautiful, peaceful and quiet with its own loch and kayaks which the children loved. It was also close by to local amenities and many places to visit nearby. The house was so spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked and Theresa had very kindly left us some groceries, a very welcome addition. Pets were also welcomed and it was a great place for dogs to run around in. We would not hesitate to recommend Theresa’s house as it had everything and more that we were looking for.

Heron House: The Forth Rail Bridge Cottage
A lovely little cottage to enjoy the beautiful North Queensferry. The house is beautifully presented and really feels homely and welcoming. The bedrooms are great sizes and the bathroom was spotless. Will definitely be staying here again!

Stunning with Breathtaking Views!
What a wonderful place! Exactly as advertised and more. Calum and Karen were very responsive and gracious. Always helpful with recommendations. It was a family trip so we did a lot of touring. After a long day of activities, it was always great to come back to this beautiful home . . . and the views are spectacular.

Stylish Apartment, Sea & City Skyline view
This is a gorgeous, spacious flat. The layout and design made me feel right at home, and I was truly impressed by the well stocked kitchen. The views are also unmatched, with every window showing a different glimpse of Edinburgh. I enjoyed looking out at the Firth of Forth each morning while drinking my morning coffee. I also loved how peaceful it felt here. The flat is slightly outside of the city center, but not so far away that you can’t walk to Edinburgh’s main attractions (and the walking paths near the flat are great!). Anita is also very kind, proactive, and helpful. I would definitely stay here again!

Modern cosy flat close to the city centre
Great location, excellent communication. We really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again.

Lovely 2 bedroom flat in picturesque Cramond
Katie was a great host (very responsive and helpful with check-in and check-out). The flat was in a great location, a short walk from the beach. The living room was comfy with nice big windows to let the sunlight in. The bed was nice and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, as well as some handy pantry items. The parking bay provided with the flat was a plus, making it convenient to get to a supermarket or explore the surrounding area. Overall had a lovely stay.

Bright and Spacious 2 Bed Flat by the Harbour
It was a great stay, clean and lovely place with a friendly host. We loved the house, free of clutter and spacious, filled with light. Overall a great experience.

3 Bedroom apt, Queensferry,10 miles from Edinburgh
It was our first stop on our trip to Scotland and this stay set a really high bar! The accommodations were superb and the views of theFirth of Fourth was spectacular. Loved the short walk to restaurants when we returned from Edinburgh each day. The train stop at Dalmeny was so convenient to our location. If I return I will certainly rebook here!

amazing apartments -Gt Junction St- Water of Leith
Very nice flat with balcony and view overlooking water of Leith. Great location, peaceful surroundings. Included parking was great for day road trips to places around Edinburgh.

Charming patio flat in quiet street in Stockbridge
We absolutely loved Emma's place! Great location in Stockbridge. The place was very quiet but had a lot of cafés and restaurants within walking distance. The place itself was just as expected - very welcoming, clean, and cozy. We are definitely coming back next time we're in Edinburgh! :)
