Waterfront vacation rentals in West Lothian

A lovely lit coastal path on the door. Kitchen well equipped.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The place was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s in a quiet neighborhood right by a peaceful waterway—such a lovely spot to wake up to. Getting into the city was super easy; we hopped on public transit and were at the Royal Mile and the castle in no time. It was great to have that balance of being close to all the sights but still able to come back to a calm, cozy space at the end of the day. Communication with the host was great too—quick and helpful, which made everything really smooth. Would definitely stay here again!

Great place with plenty of space, nice and clean. Amazing seaside views and round the corner from the high street. Would love to stay again!

Ricky's place is a lovely, quiet little apartment in an old, character-filled, converted 18th century warehouse building overlooking the Water of Leith. The area is lively with plenty of places to eat and drink, and nice walking area. The apartment is stylishly fitted out. It is clean and comfortable, with everything you need. We loved that it is centrally located and an easy drive to Edinburgh for sightseeing. Good car parking too. Ricky was responsive and helpful. We highly recommend this stay!

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.

Great host and apartment. Was able to accommodate needs of my daughter and very proactive, friendly and helpful. Lovely apartment that was nicely kitted out

We had such a wonderful stay at Chris & Erin’s flat in Leith. It’s well situated with great transport links and an amazing view. This is a really magical property and we would highly recommend it!

A lovely little apartment with a great view over the river. Thank you to Kirsty for keeping in touch throughout. It was perfect for our needs.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

Very happy with my stay, i normally use hotels for work, but this was a much better experience and cost effective.

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!

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.

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!

Lou and Claire’s apartment was perfect for our 3 night stay in Edinburgh - an excellent location for transport and restaurants. It’s in a pretty area out of the hustle and bustle of tourist attractions which suited us perfectly - felt like we had a real taste of what it’s like to be a local. Parts of the apartment are small such as the bathroom and kitchen but completely equipped with anything one may need…also provided great inspiration on how to make good use of a small space! We recommend staying at Lou and Claire’s apartment!

Great location, excellent communication. We really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again.

Lovely apartment. Good location and transport links. Brian responsed quickly to any messages. Lovely views, beautiful being by the water. You can walk along the shore. Would highly recommend

Jon and Lindsey’s lovely flat was the perfect base for us to explore Culross from. It was very clean and cosy, with wonderful views from the kitchen/living room. Everything we could have needed was provided for us. Jon was extremely helpful and understanding when we had to cancel our original booking due to a storm. Communication throughout our stay was great, we would definitely return.

Victoria is an excellent host — very communicative and extremely helpful. The apartment is great, in a nice location, and easy to find. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a clean, quiet, and comfortable place to stay

A lovely place to stay on the outskirts of the city with handy transport links. The place was clean, tidy and welcoming. I’d definitely recommend.

Lovely comfortable flat with plenty of space for four - two light and airy bedrooms, cosy capacious sofa, a kitchen with everything we needed for our stay, all simply and stylishly furnished. Lynda was great and really responsive, helping us out with non-down pillows for one of our party and offering an earlier check-in, which was greatly appreciated. The location is perfect for exploring Edinburgh away from the hustle and bustle of the centre. We walked to Edinburgh Castle along the Water of Leith Walkway (just under an hour) and also took the tram which was a couple of minutes from the flat and a super-quick and easy journey. Lots of local coffee shops, pubs overlooking the water and Leith Market is worth a visit on a Saturday morning. The ideal base - we hope to stay again.
