Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Edinburgh

The house was absolutely perfect in every way. Plenty of space to comfortably accomodate 6 people. The location is excellent; quiet but close to amenities and transport into town. Di was a sensational host, and the house had the best home feel we have ever had in an air bnb experience. The kitchen is extremely well equipped which is a nice bonus. I highly recommend this air BnB.

I stayed at this wonderful property for a few days right after getting married, kicking off my honeymoon while also showing my new in-laws some of the best parts of the UK. The entire family had a great time here—it’s clean, very spacious, and truly felt like home. We did run into a minor issue with a bathroom leak (a bit of bad luck on my part, I suppose), but the host was incredibly responsive and did everything they could to resolve it quickly. I really appreciate how it was handled and am grateful for the prompt attention. Overall, I highly recommend this lovely property. If I’m ever in Edinburgh again with family or friends, I’d definitely check if this place is available before considering other options in the Old Town area. A big thank you to the superhosts for your kindness, patience, and excellent communication in making sure everything went smoothly during our stay. 🙏🙏♥️

We had a wonderful stay! The place was exactly as described and I would definitely recommend to friends and family.

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!

Nice place to stay ! We spent 2 nights there, convenient and really clean. Proximity with tram is perfect to go in the center.

it completely feels like home. everything was outstanding. host was very firendly and responsive. he received me in accommodation when i arrive there. helped me alot to find out local best restaurants.

Wonderful place! Close to the Airport. House has amazing views and a small backyard.

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

Traveled to Edinburgh in April with two young children. This apartment was an excellent location to explore Edinburgh and also get to and from Waverly. Everything was clean, all the amenities were easy to use. It was particularly nice to have a washing machine and drying rack. The hosts were also very responsive and provided lots of nice recommendations. The pub just next to the apartment on the street is not to be missed.

Fantastic few days in Edinburgh, Flat had everything we needed, easy access to Edinburgh and Leith, both walkable and good transport links. Highly recommended!

Such an amazing place to stay. It really made me relax after each day of exploration. The bed was so nice and comfy. The location is so fantastic as well, I would recommend to try the Pantry and the Antiquary nearby. Emma the co-host is such a lovely woman, so nice to talk to and really helpful. This little apartment is definitely a 5/5 in my book. I can only describe this place with a word from DK: Hygge :-)

Really enjoyed our stay. Ground floor apartment in quiet area, with restaurants and grocery store within easy walking distance. Apartment is comfortable, well furnished, VERY clean, and appliances are all new. The accommodation is impressive, and the host even more so. Marion anticipates so much of what you'll want to know, and has prepared a binder full of information including clear instructions for appliances; safety information; suggestions for restaurants; shopping locations; and even contact info for taxi service, if desired. She is punctual and thorough in responding to questions, and truly a pleasure to work with. Marion is not only a super host... she sets the bar, and defines the term.

The apartment is located in a quiet residential area, 5 minutes from the tram that connects to the center of Edinburgh in less than 30 minutes. The apartment is very clean and Dave is very responsive, he recommended us places to eat. We were able to leave our suitcases a few extra hours so we could walk around light. We are delighted with our stay.

We had a fantastic time staying at Richard’s apartment. Richard was highly responsive and proactively provided helpful parking and walking instructions. The apartment was comfortable and conveniently located near shops and major attractions. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking meals before & after our days out exploring Scotland. I highly recommend choosing Richard’s place for your stay in Edinburgh.

a lovely charming and clean apartment. well situated to explore the city and surrounds.

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

Fantastic dwelling, great location and excellent hosts. We will definitely look to return to Edinburgh in the future and seek this residence as well as highly recommending it to our friends and family. Our hosts Mark and Dayna were wonderful especially with their wonderful gesture of allowing us to stay an extra night, free of charge, due to The Hogmanay Festival being cancelled. Thank you again. Nevertheless a wonderful visit to Edinburgh underpinned by an excellent apartment and generous hosts.

Amazing location close to everything! 5 minutes from the station, just of Princes Street, yet quiet at night due to thick walls and good couble glazing. Nicely decorated place with a super lounge area. Great communicative hosts, even enabled us to extend our check out a little bit which was really helpful. Would definitely recommend, and would return in a heart beat.

Josh’s place was great! Wonderful central location. Close to many attractions. Josh was very attentive and answered all of our questions. Place was perfect for our family of three. It was also quiet, and we could sleep in when we desired. We felt very welcome and loved the place. Would love to stay again!

First of all, Ryan let me drop my bags at the flat around 11A, which was SO nice, and opened up my options for day #1 sightseeing. The flat is in a great location: away from the hubbub of Princes Street (where I spent the first two nights due to a change in plans, and don’t get me wrong, Princes Street is great, but it’s hopping), but 11 stops (22 min) on the 10 bus from Princes Street, if that’s where you’re headed. Two highlights: 1) The laundry game here is STRONG, including a descending drying rack in the laundry room which I’m 100% going to copy as soon as I get home. 2) GREAT shower. I used the tub mat, because if I fall in the shower, it’s going to be bad. 3) Convenience store across the street, Lidl (grocery) within a mile walk. Take your bag to both, as a reminder (I had to run back across the street). Thanks, Ryan. I hope to be back next year for the Edinburgh curling tournament. John

New Town is a beautiful part of Edinburgh and Cornelius's apartment was perfectly located to make benefit of its bars and restaurants. The apartment was just lovely with tasteful art work and a nice minimalist feel. Well appointed so easy to turn to home cooking when needed and all in all we would be happy to recommend.

We had a great time. Very well located apartment, between the city center and botanical garden. Our host gave us all the right instructions. Great. We would recommend.

We spent a few nights at Kornelia's bnb during the first part of our Scottish adventure. Check-in and out was easy. Having a loaf of bread and a carton of milk to start was truly appreciated. The bnb was very clean and well maintained. It is in a very quiet neighborhood even though it is located across the street from a bar. We did not encounter any loud noise during our stay and we slept very well in the very comfy bed. It is just outside the city center and easy to get anywhere you want to go. The kitchen is modern and well equipped. We did not encounter any issues and found parking right out front or very close by. We would not hesitate to stay at Kornelia’s on a future visit.

Great flat in a great location, with very receptive hosts. Bathrooms could do with a really deep clean- that’s the only negative.
