Cozy central studio with rural aspect
We enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere. the besutiful surrounding gardens, beautiful walks and a friendly town. thank you!

Bright, modern apartment in Linlithgow
Our stay was fantastic! The apartment was really comfortable. The socket's strategic placement was astounding. The hosts, Laura and Gavin, were excellent.

The Wee Glasshouse
Perfect! The Wee Glasshouse is the place to stay if you want a beautiful scenery, a good location and most importantly, a super well-equipped accommodation. So much so that you’ll be tempted to just stay home and forget about Edinburgh on the rainy days. Alan has also been an amazing host and we felt right at home from the start, he’s a professional! He has obviously spent a lot of time & effort in making everything easy for guests and I’m appreciative of the lengths he had went. This is truly a rare find and it’s a shame we only had 2 nights, we would’ve loved to stay a lot longer!

Double/twin bedroom with en-suite
Lovely room! The pictures don’t do it justice, it was spotlessly clean and we received breakfast bags each morning! The host was very thoughtful and we had everything we could need! The location was perfect, and being able to leave our bags after checkout was very useful. Check in was easy and straight forward, would definitely recommend! Thank you for a lovely trip!

Bedroom for one
A lovely room in a charming villa in the Southside of the city. Great bus links to the centre make this ideal for anyone who wants easy access to the Old Town but prefers a slightly quieter, more relaxed setting. The top floor room has a beautiful view of the Pentland Hills and is only a 20-minute walk from the Meadows, making it perfect for anyone visiting the university. Louise was very friendly, while the room has everything one would need, including a fine array of teas and plentiful bottled water. It represents good value for money.

Small studio unit in peaceful location
We had a great time. Check-in instructions were very clear, listing was as described. We were there to attend a festival and the location was perfect for us, the value for money too. The bed was the most comfortable of our journey in Scotland and the environment was very quiet. The only small downside was that the shower flow was quite low. But Monica was very responsive and welcoming, and above all very flexible with check-in and check-out times. We really enjoyed our stay, thank you so much!

Adorable 1 bed studio poolhouse with lovely view
Honestly could not recommend this place enough, to start Gayle let us know that it was ready early if needed, easy instructions on how to get inside, the place has everything you’ll need, plates cups and cutlery, a fridge, microwave kettle etc. Inside the home is instructions on where to put rubbish etc which is always swiftly collected from the box outside, Bathroom is perfect with great shower pressure and the heating is fab. Local taxi numbers provided and local restaurant menus, even some sleep spray in the drawers!! The place is very homely and has absolutely everything you’ll need, upon entry we had some robes slippers and even some little chocolates provided which was nice. We also were given some breakfast items, biscuits and water. Gayle checked in after our first night to make sure everything was okay and if we needed anything, honestly 10/10 can’t fault it!! The room is also bigger than we expected! Would recommend and would love to return if in the area :)

Wedale House, private en-suite bedroom
a lovely renovated mansion in a peaceful village. perfect for walks and getting away from it all. Len was very friendly and responsive. he kindly let us check in very early Room was well appointed with somw personal touches and very clean with a huge bathroom. We were were in the attic room with a small window and a lot of stairs to get up there which was d fine for us .. kept us fit. if you prefer garden views and less stairs you may like to choose the downstairs room.

Dovetshill Guest House
We stayed here for 2 nights on our way to the Highlands. Jennys guest house is small but perfectly formed. Very peaceful and quiet. Private garden with hot tub which was lovely after a busy day out. The bed was really comfortable and the shower large and hot. Jenny was very responsive with any questions and her pets are extremely friendly. I definitely recommend.

Black Barony Home Farm Cottage
Amazing place so good to get away from the city plenty places to walk

Cosy studio flat with own entrance.
We had a great time at Sarah's. She and her family welcomed us very warmly. The studio is very clean and comfortable. We were a family of 3 and a removable bed was provided for our son. Everything was perfect. To visit Edinburgh, we did not use the train (the train station is a 20-minute walk from the apartment and there is a train every hour). We preferred the bus, right next to the house: the journey was certainly long - 1 hour journey - but the schedules were more flexible. Sarah is really a very pleasant and accommodating host. We recommend this property for visiting Edinburgh and its surroundings!

Great 1 bed studio guesthouse surrounded by green
Lovely, restful holiday let.

Studio Guesthouse Apartment - 4 mins from airport
My wife and I had a wonderful time at this studio apartment. It is situated in a peaceful area with greenery all around and is a safe neighbourhood to go for long walks. The basketball ring is a great addition as well. The room is very nice, cozy and clean with free Wi-Fi, well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a relaxing place that’s away from all the hustle & bustle of the city area. You can see deers and wildlife running and jumping around. The neighbours in the area are also very friendly. Moreover, the pictures don’t do justice to this place - it is even more beautiful in reality. Lastly, both the hosts, especially Monica, are very welcoming and amazing - they made sure all our needs were catered to and made our month’s long stay super relaxing and pleasant. Felt like a home away from home :)

The Hayloft
We cannot recommend this place enough. From the warm welcome we received from Patrick and his family, to the clean and cozy guest house, to the gorgeous country views right outside the window. Patrick and Katy were so responsive to every question we had and so attentive to the little details inside the house that made it really feel like a home. My fiance and I loved wandering the trails around the house as well as the short drive into town where all of the recommendations they left for us made it so easy to plan our days in Scotland. It could not have been an easier or more pleasant stay and we will definitely be back!

Room in Victorian Guesthouse in Dunfermline.
The room was tidy and furnished with antiques. A very tastefully Victorian house with all modern facilities. We had only time for one night, it would be a place for a longer stay. The house is central to the Downtown of Dumfernline and a good place for visiting Edinburgh. The Host Michael is very friendly and had a lot of tips for visiting the town. Perfect!

Charming 1 bed in the heart of the Pentlands
Really beautiful place and honestly easy to get in and out of even without a car! There is a bus and although it’s not frequent it is reliable if you just make sure to plan ☺️ Leo was very friendly and kind and so accommodating. I will highlight what someone else mentioned: unfortunately the WIFI isn’t the best and there’s no signal because of the location so if you’re planning on working remotely while staying here, would make sure you keep that in mind. Other than that, loved our stay here!

Private cute mini guest house in the West End
Jessica was an incredible host! Super welcoming, great recommendations and excellent communication. We loved staying here, easy walk into town. I would most definitely recommend!
