Edinburgh waterfront, 3 bed, balcony, apartment.
Overall, this was a great apartment in a great location as it was easy for our golf and a short cab ride to get into Edinburgh and Leith.

Spacious City flat Accessibility, freeparking&WIFI
The flat was very good and the host was the best above all❤️ very kind nature and friendly. Lots of love to you and to your family

Bijou by the Bridges, Stunning Seaside Apartment
Angie’s flat is wonderful and good for family travel. We got everything necessary during the stay and the environment is just perfect. Angie is so kind to allow us to check out late. We felt in love with the place, thank you for everything!!!

The Cooperage on The Shore
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.

Central Spacious Flat With Parking and Balcony
Great flat. Has all amenities, clear instructions and was very clean. Highly recommended for anyone wishing to stay in Edinburgh.

Modern 1-bed & study waterfront flat in Leith
Emily's flat was perfect for a few days in Edinburgh and had everything we needed. Comfy bed, great shower and a lovely kitchen. It's the perfect spot for visiting the city, a 3 minute walk to the tram, which takes 15 minutes to the city centre (we walked one day and it was only 40 minutes). Emily gave us loads of recommendations for places to eat and they were all brilliant. Brunch, dinner, coffee, cocktails, you're spoiled for choice in Leith. Emily is a proactive, responsive and really helpful host and I would definitely look to stay again the next time I visit Edinburgh.

Old fisherman's Cottage No 4 (free parking)
Amazing little cottage, immaculately decorated and spotlessly cleaned, with everything thought out and had everything we needed for our stay. Location is great, bus services into town are very regular and we found them very easy to use. Cant wait to return sometime! Would 100% recommend to anyone wanting to visit Edinburgh

Vibrant Apartment at The Shore in Leith
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.

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.

Cottage near Edinburgh, West Linton, Borders
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!

Craigiehall Keep
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.

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!

Relax at the edge of a loch, near Edinburgh
Excellent accomodation with good facilities (inside & outside) in a wonderful location. Theresa was very helpful & very responsive to our messages. This location is perfectly situated for the borders area, such as Peebles, with Edinburgh & the airport all within a 30 min drive. All in all a great place to stay & would highly recommend - would definately come back.

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!

Stunning with Breathtaking Views!
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.

Maria's place exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a pristine and cozy getaway. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how immaculate and well-kept everything was. The cleanliness was top-notch, making the space feel fresh and inviting. The coziness of this place was truly exceptional. The decor was charming and thoughtfully curated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, Maria was incredibly hospitable and responsive.

Lovely 2 bedroom flat in picturesque Cramond
Katie was a great host (very responsive and helpful with check-in and check-out). The flat was in a great location, a short walk from the beach. The living room was comfy with nice big windows to let the sunlight in. The bed was nice and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans, as well as some handy pantry items. The parking bay provided with the flat was a plus, making it convenient to get to a supermarket or explore the surrounding area. Overall had a lovely stay.

Bright and Spacious 2 Bed Flat by the Harbour
We had an amazing trip to Edinburgh and the location was fantastic! Not too far from the city, there was also really nice shop across from the complex and the view was lovely of the harbour right from our balcony. It was warm, cozy and spacious with great facilities. We felt right at home and can’t wait to get back already :-)

amazing apartments -Gt Junction St- Water of Leith
Very nice flat with balcony and view overlooking water of Leith. Great location, peaceful surroundings. Included parking was great for day road trips to places around Edinburgh.

Charming patio flat in quiet street in Stockbridge
We absolutely loved Emma's place! Great location in Stockbridge. The place was very quiet but had a lot of cafés and restaurants within walking distance. The place itself was just as expected - very welcoming, clean, and cozy. We are definitely coming back next time we're in Edinburgh! :)
