Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Elie and Earlsferry

very nice house. very kind host

This was an amazing place for us to stay as an extended family. There were nine of us, plus two dogs, and we rented the Doocot and the Lodge in the grounds. It is located right up in the hills and was blissfully remote yet easily accessible to the A90 to Perth and Dundee. The house itself was very comfortable and exactly as described. The sitting room was amazing with its enormously high ceilings, plenty of squishy sofas and a piano. There was also a Smart TV. For us, the best feature was the enormous dining table which easily seated us all and could have taken several other people too. We had lovely meals together all round the table. It was really memorable. The bathrooms were clean and new. The roll top bath was lovely and super to soak in. Check in, host communications etc were all super easy and they even helped us to have a hot tub ready for our arrival from Fife Hot Tub Hire. All in all, would highly recommend to people looking for a comfortable break away in the hills.

Great stay! The location is super convenient—Tesco Express is just around the corner, a local shop is two minutes away, and there’s a lovely park nearby that’s perfect if you have pets.Anzelika is incredibly responsive, flexible, and friendly. She even offered us an extra hour to check out, and later extended it by another hour, even though we didn’t end up needing it. The home itself is very cozy, spacious, and well-equipped—you’ll find everything you need in the kitchen. We even managed to park our SUV inside the property, which was a big plus. The overall vibe of the place is really welcoming. Loved the stay and would definitely recommend.

Everything was fine. A bit away from the center. But quiet and nice

Had just a single nights stay for work nearby but the perfect place to lay my head! Quiet, comfortable and had everything I needed. Great communication with Jamie the host, easy check-in and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again if working nearby.

We had a wonderful stay in Elie. Ann’s house is in a great location with lots of lovely touches. We particularly enjoyed the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom! Great garden for dogs and family alike, nice and secure.

We had an amazing time in St Andrews and Janice’s place was perfect for 6 adults on a golf trip. It was spacious, clean and the best location. I would highly recommend it

Fabulous stay with 12 for a family reunion / vacation in North Berwick. Very comfortable accommodation, great beds and modernised bathrooms (incredible nonstop hot water for such a large group!!) Super close to the train and lovely views out to the sea and Bass Rock, a real gem. The Ikea kitchen is showing its age but we still easily prepared meals for our large group and the dishwasher kept it all clean. We would highly recommend!

We loved the apartment and Rachel was very helpful and responsive!

Amazing location, close to all the main attractions and plenty of places to eat/drink near by!

Lovely stay! The place was spotless and exactly as described. Great location and super helpful host. Would definitely return!

Sally’s home was 5/5. It was so comfy, great location and a real home from home. Wish we could have stayed there longer and we would definitely come back. It was quiet too, just the perfect choice!

Perfectly lovely stay, easily accessible flat, not mobility friendly, but this isn't anyones fault. The area is lovely and out of the way but only a roughly £10 Uber from centre of Edinburgh, but there is a bus stop within a 2 mins walk. This location made it very easy to go in and out to explore. Very quiet in the evenings which was much appreciated after the busy touristy centre. The flat was spotless and well kept. Only thing I can recommend is make sure you stop at a supermarket or get food/drink/ want you want before journeying back to b&b.

Lovely apartment with everything you could need for a few days. 15 minute walk to Haymarket. Responsive hosts.

I booked this place for myself, my partner and an 8 yo for our last stay of our trip to Scotland. 4 days was sufficient for us to slow down in this 1st floor apartment in a quiet neighborhood. We didn’t use the kitchen much, but was fully functional and stocked with essential kitchen items for our use. Loved the kitchen counter space. In general, the apartment gave us the freedom and space to spread out and relax. I didn’t mind at all the comfy brown leather sofa alternative mentioned from a previous post, but decor sofa pillows are filled with feathers and were poking through in case anyone was allergic to bird feathers or have sensory issues. Bathroom was absolutely the best from our entire trip. We utilized the W/D. Drafted instructions and the machine manual was available in the W/D closet but might’ve conflicted a bit. Hang drying is a quintessential experience in the UK as the dryer doesn’t dry as thoroughly as my partner preferred. Would recommend this place and stay here again

The Upper Villa was a great place to in Edinburgh. Easy walking distance to Stockbridge for groceries, food, shopping and drinks. Ubers and buses available to Olde Town and other places near Victoria Street and Holyrood. Rona was very accommodating, even letting us borrow her meat thermometer for a delicious meal prepared by our friends from Norway. I would highly recommend this flat for your stay in Edinburgh!!

As a Fifer, it’s always nice to come back and stay. Craigs place was easy to find, spacious and spotlessly clean, and Burntisland is a lovely town. I would certainly stay at Craigs again.

It is a beautiful and spacious apartment tucked away in Birnam. The apartment is welcoming and stylish. Conveniently close to the train station if you're travelling by public transport, and there is plenty of on street parking if you're driving. Birnam is within walking distance of Dunkeld (about 15 minutes) where there is more amenities. We recommend visiting the Birnam Arts Centre which is at the end of the road from the apartment, it is a lovely space and has a good cafe (reasonably priced too). If you're able to get to Pitlochry, we highly recommend a meal at The Wee Choo Choo restaurant (set in a converted train carriage, one that featured in Mission Impossible), the food was delicious and the staff lovely. Ali was a great and friendly host, very helpful and responsive, and provided local recommendations. We would definitely stay here again.

Another perfect stay at Harbour Haven. The large dining kitchen gives us somewhere to sit in the morning if the sofa bed in the living room is still occupied. The master bedroom is incredibly spacious with a generous four-poster. The flat has recently been renovated, though it was already in great condition. As always, the standout is the location. It’s perfectly situated between the high street and the promenade and the living room boasts the most glorious view of the harbour and the sea beyond. This is our third stay at Harbour Haven and we couldn’t recommend it strongly enough. The hosts are always so responsive, approachable and friendly.

Best location possible. Also very clear instructions and great communication which I find very important when travelling to a new place. Highly recommend.

Lovely cosy appartment - perfect location for our short stay in Edinburgh

This is a brilliant place to stay in an amazing location right by the beach - easy and free parking too right outside. North Berwick is such a nice place to stay great coffee houses, bakers and butchers and the boat trips arounfd the Bass Rock are a must !

Lovely property & equally lovely and accommodating host. Would recommend and will certainly re-book in the future.

Very central location close to restaurants. Beautiful view from balcony and plenty of room. Would like to visit again as very enjoyable
