Riverview Apartment close to Edinburgh easy access
Lovely home, and a great location. The bus stop is very close by and the buses are frequent. Worth noting that the bedroom curtains still allow light through so expect to have bright mornings!

Seo na mara - the perfect spot to watch the waves
Absolutely loved our long weekend in North Berwick and this flat was absolutely perfect for a special time together. The views were stunning, bed really comfortable and flat was just beautiful. So happy to have had this experience.

Stylish Waterside Location; Easy Access to Centre
Stayed here for 4 nights on our girls trip and we just loved it! The location is ideal such a hidden gem. Directly outside the apartment is the bus stop that takes you directly into the old town/ city centre ( 20ish mins ) & the tram is just a 5 min walk away! As well as an Aldi 3 mins away with really cheap groceries. Directly outside the apartment are a lot of amazing places to eat and drinks and patios facing the water! The neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful and safe & the kitchen was stocked with everything you need, as well as the bathroom! Super clean. The beds weren’t very comfortable but everything else was amazing! Washer + dryer was also broken upon arrival and we were expecting to do laundry so that sucked, but he offered compensation for dry cleaning. Overall, would most definitely recommend and will be back :)

Trendy & Central 18th Century River View Apartment
Ricky's place was exactly as described and Leith itself was a lovely surprise with lots to do and a great atmosphere. Tram was so easy and so quick to get to the city. We were very happy with our stay and the apartment.

LuxApartment - Port Of Leith- Secure Parking
Perfect location within walking distance to trams. Shammi’s place is beautiful and did not disappoint. Great communication and seamless check in. Would definitely return if I ever found myself in Edinburgh again.

Fabulous 2 Bed Apartment By the Sea
Can’t recommend this place enough, fantastic location with great views, lovely hosts and clean & tidy apartment. Easy access to Edinburgh and the airport, when I arrived I got a Taxi from the airport, if I’d have known how simple the tram/bus journey would have been I’d have done that, I did for my return journey. Local restaurants are lovely and welcoming (Saphire & Queens Spice), good pint in the Thirty Knots too! I arrived late in the day, to be welcome with bread and milk amongst other things was just wonderful, simple touch which went a long way! I would definitely return and recommend this to anyone looking Thank you to the host(s)

Old fisherman's Cottage No 4 (free parking)
We loved the area and the location was perfect for catching the tram, groceries, restaurants/pubs within walking and the peacefulness it provided. Highly recommend!

The Puffin Burrow, North Berwick Beachside
Thanks you for a fabulous holiday. North Berwick is an absolute gem and the flat is so well situated to enjoy everything there is to offer. Right across from the beach, the kids were thrilled! The flat was lovely and we had a very comfortable stay. The views from the living room window were stunning and I could have sat there for hours. The flat has everything you would need and lots of thoughtful extras. We were very sad to leave and will certainly miss that view! Thank you for helping us to have a much needed relaxing break in such stunning surroundings x

Cottage near Edinburgh, West Linton, Borders
fantastic setting well presented Mary and James friendly

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
What a beautiful house in stunning surroundings! We were a family of 5 celebrating my mum’s 75th birthday. Upon hearing this the hosts informed us of the stairs in the house in case there were mobility issues, which is very thoughtful. The tranquility of having a stream running by the end of the garden added to the charm. Within walking distance is a small Tesco that we were able to get supplies, and although we didn’t visit them, the local restaurants looked nice. We were met at the house by Kenneth who gave us a tour of the house and was very helpful. The extras provided in the fridge by the hosts was a very thoughtful touch. Overall, a suburb place to spend some time! Thanks for everything and for letting us feel at home in your beautiful home!

Relax at the edge of a loch, near Edinburgh
What a beautiful place to stay for a family visit to Edinburgh. This 5 bed house sits right next to a loch but is also only 10 minutes from 2 supermarkets and numerous take aways and restaurants. A 30 minute drive into Edinburgh was manageable and straightforward also. The owners, Theresa and David live next door and were friendly and helpful. I could not fault this stay at all, it was just what we wanted. Thank you so much, Theresa and David.

Mill Lea beautiful green space views
Patricia's place is exceptional. Clean, peaceful, quiet, and in the most lovely natural setting. It's a win for us, thank you Patricia!!

Waterside House
Thanks for having us. Hoping to stay at your place again next year.

Cairns House, Cairns Farm, Kirknewton
Caroline, along with her amazing staff, made our family feel immediately welcomed and cared for, as though we were an extension of her own family. The estate was absolutely breathtaking to behold in person. The only thing that made an equal impression was the hospitality received that was above and beyond our expectations. Caroline and the Cairns Farm staff were not only very professional, they were very supportive, approachable, and responsive to every request we had, which in turn enhanced the experience for our family to become the most impactful and successful time we’ve spent together. I can’t thank them enough for their kindness nor put into words my gratitude for the experience of a lifetime the Cairns Farm Estate facilitated for us. We will be returning as soon as possible. Thank You Again!!!!

Stylish Apartment, Sea & City Skyline view
We were in Edinburgh for a weekend and the city was so accessible from the appartment by public transport, including trams and buses. The apartment itself was very clean, creatively decorated and well equipped. Being a third floor appartment, there were lovely views of the lough and surrounding area. Would highly recommend a little bistro only yards from the appartment, which provided really nice meals for breakfast, lunch or brunch.

Beautiful Central City, Waterside Quay Apartment
We got to experience the Scottish weather to the fullest and were always looking forward to return to the cozy apt! The place was amazing and I can only recommend it! Thanks a lot!

Super Seafront Apartment - 2 Bedrooms Nr Edinburgh
I visited with a friend while walking part of the John Muir Way, the property was directly on the route and fantastic for this purpose. Karen was a brilliant host and allowed us access a little early to this great property, it's so well located for access to the beach and local amenities. Parking was really easy, some just for Residents but more than enough for everyone. The facilities were great we had all we needed to cook and eat in house and we were particularly impressed with the toiletries and thoughtful little touches like a spare phone charger plug. I'd definitely stay here again if I was in the area.

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
Had a wonderful stay. The flat was exactly as described and maybe even nicer than the photos show it to be. Beds are comfortable, laundry in-unit is a huge convenience, and even the coffee selection was quite grand. Overall, very happy. Highly recommended.

Modern Apt by The Shore ♥ Newhaven
We had a great stay in Brian's apartment. Instructions for getting key were clear and easy to follow. The apartment was spotless and had everything required for a very pleasant stay. We enjoyed having the patio area to sit in for morning coffee or an evening refreshment. Easy local transport links to city centre are very close by. Pubs, restaurants and a large Supermarket are within an easy 10 mins walk. Brian was easy to communicate with and gave us some local recommendations. We would recommend Brian's apartment and will book again if its available when we are visiting Edinburgh again in the future.

3 Bedroom apt, Queensferry,10 miles from Edinburgh
Loved the location in a lovely town with easy access to groceries, restaurants and pubs. Walking trails all around with incredible views. Easy access to Edinburgh with multiple options for travel from train, trams and buses. Also quick on/off if driving north to see the beautiful Scotland coastline and towns. Apartment had wonderful views and a well stocked kitchen. Host was very responsive.

2 Bedroom river view flat in Culross
We booked it to stay over for my son's wedding at The Den. Jonathan always responded quickly and accommodated our earlier check in request. No issues finding the property - the directions are easy to follow. The property was clean. There isn't any wardrobe space which is fine for a couple of nights, but would mean living out of your case if staying longer. Doesn't bother me, but might bother some.
