Stylish Waterside Location; Easy Access to Centre
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!

Beach View Penthouse Apartment, easy to Edinburgh
Had a lovely stay view from the window is amazing flat is well equiped

Trendy & Central 18th Century River View Apartment
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!

The Old Bakery
We had an amazing stay, the location and facilities were perfect for easy access walks to the harbour and beach. Margaret is an amazing Airbnb host !

Cosy cottage - sea views, Fife Coastal Path, Golf
We had a wonderful stay at Jane's. We felt cosy and relaxed , and loved hearing the sound of the waves in the morning. The place was spotlessly clean, felt fresh and light. The garden is a total delight. Thank you for a wonderful weekend.

Gate House to the Quayside
What a great weekend we had at Jon's place! An amazing location. The town walls are fantastic to walk along. Jon is the best AirBnB host I've had. He was friendly and so helpful and welcoming. The house is great. Especially the amazing games table in the lounge. The whole family had lots of fun.

Haven Lodge (Couples beach retreat)
One of our favourite properties we have ever stayed in from Air B and B. The lodge was very cosy with beautiful views particularly from the kitchen and sitting room, of the sea on one side and open fields on other. Great location also- just yards outside was the door was the choice of beautiful cliff walk or Coldingham Sands beach. Kitchen is also very well equipped, although due to the position of the lighting was a little dark when it trying to preparing food as you end blocking the light with your back. Bed and sofa very comfy! Only difficulty was that we struggled to work the shower in bedroom but we’re able to use the one over the bath in the main bathroom so wasn’t really a problem Would love to visit again and will be recommending to others!

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!

Tall Ship, Anstruther
I have just returned from a 3 night stay in Anstruther over Hogmanay . we were a party of 2 couples and found the house to be a good size for us. As other viewers have said the bedrooms being on different floors affords a good degree of privacy. 2 of the bedrooms have lovely sea views. The living area is comfortable and cozy but might be a bit of a squeeze for 6 adults. the location is excellent for the fife coastal walk and there are plenty of good local pubs and restaurants within walking distance. I would recommend the tall ship with the only proviso that the many stairs would make it unsuitable for anyone with mobility issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

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!

Romantic Cottage Next to Sea
I stayed at this slice of heaven with some friends and it was the most charming and beautiful cottage. Plenty of space for us and in a beautiful location of St Abbs. Debs was so helpful and has decorated the cottage so beautifully you feel straight at home. It really is the most charming place and was great weekend gateway.

Cosy modern flat close to the city centre
Just a 10 min $10 uber to the royal mile. Appreciated being away from the crowds. Quiet neighborhood. Lots of restaurants nearby. My husband was able to purchase a day pass for Pure gym and walk to gym. Nice to have parking . Bed comfortable. Coffee, tea and sugar supplied. Leith walkway right across the street. Beautiful park .

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!

2 Bedroom river view flat in Culross
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.
