Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Scottish Borders

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.

Sam was a great host and provided clear communication. The cottage was nestled on the edge of the town centre at the entrance to the park and close to amenities. The property its self was charming and cozy however it was a little tired. The stay was very relaxing and all in all it was reasonably priced.

We had a fantastic stay at the Trail House. the cottage is perfectly located for walking and cycling in the glentress forest, and is walking distance to the local pub/restaurant. the house was perfectly set up for everything we needed, and Hayley was a super responsive and flexible host.

By far the nicest alr bnb I have ever stayed in. It is heaven on earth. Owners were very responsive and everything exceeded expectations

This is let is worth a visit if you are a family or in a group. It's a peaceful location with off-road parking. We all had a room to ourselves and there are nice places to relax in the house. We were able to walk 5 minutes to the tram stop and be in Edinburgh centre in 20 minutes or so. You can make the best of Edinburgh when staying. Usman is very hospitable and will meet and show you round himself. He communicated well for us and was flexible with when we could check in. This proved very helpful on the day! I would recommend staying here, it's a nice place.

We enjoyed a very comfortable stay at Iris’s well appointed home. Location handy to shops, river walks. Delightful garden, eating breakfast was so peaceful while watching the bird life. Views of the hills from the bedrooms was very special.

We, a family of five, enjoyed wonderful four nights in the lovely House on the Hill which was exactly as described. A great plus was the tennis court, that was very well received by our children. Walking the dog was a great experience. We used the farm cottage to explore Scottish Borders, Northumberland and of course Edinburgh. We would certainly come back and highly recommend this lovely place!

This is our third time staying at Claire's property. It is ideally situated both for buses and the railway station at Wallyford, making Edinburgh and beyond easy to visit. If travelling by car the main trunk roads and motorways are within easy reach. Claire kindly left bread, milk, butter, eggs, hot cross buns and jam as well as a full range of toiletries. We would have no hesitation in staying again as Claire is a wonderful host.

We were so happy to have found Jon's place for our stay in Edinburgh. I highly recommend it! The beds are comfortable, shower is spa-worthy, back garden is a delight and there is a walking path just behind it. After days' long exploring in beautiful Edinburgh, it was always so nice to come back to such a peaceful oasis of quiet and privacy. Jon is a great host and we felt like we had a friend watching over us while we were visiting. We were sorry to leave. Do yourself a big favor and book this apartment. You won't regret it.

The apartment is really bright and spacious and tastefully decorated. The living area and kitchen are perfect. The apartment has everything you need including a washing machine and dryer. Audrey explained everything very clearly to us when we arrived to drop off our luggage (the owners facilitated an early drop off before 4pm). In terms of improvements, the water boiler is quite noisy so if someone used the bathroom late, it could wake other guests. We would have appreciated shampoo in the bathroom - some of our party flew with hand luggage only with a small liquids allowance. We enjoyed our stay and it was convenient for the EICC, a 10-15 minute walk. The welcome breakfast pack was a nice touch. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, including Napoli-themed Pizzeria 1926 with delicious pizzas!

Another stay in this great wee flat, really good value ; good central location - plenty parking nearby , and close to restaurants, supermarkets & pubs

We loved staying at James' place. It was spacious and comfortable. The surrounding neighborhood was very accessible to the center (20 minute walk across the Meadows) and had a peaceful, non-touristy feel ,with plenty of restaurants, cafes and green space.

The places was perfect for my family. Easy distance from the tram which went straight into the city. The flat was free of clutter but had absolutely everything we needed. Would recommend to anyone.

This was one of my best Airbnb experiences. Helen and her husband were super kind and flexible with the check-in process, and they also helped me a lot with my luggage! The place was clean, cozy, and very well located. I definitely recommend it!

We had a wonderful stay in Edinburgh! The location is great and walkable, with many restaurants, pubs, and parks nearby. Eddie was responsive, friendly, and gave us local recommendations. We loved it!

Yvonne was warm and friendly, and welcomed us generously. The apartment is very well appointed, and we felt right at home. Wonderful location - close to The Meadows, around corner from bus routes, and near loads of cafes and bars. Absolutely recommend. Thank you Yvonne for your kindness and for looking after our needs so well. 😀

Great stay, no problems at all. The apartment was clean and as described. Would definitely recommend. We would definitely return. Thanks for a great stay.

The apartment is beautiful, spacious and immaculate. Great neighborhood; clean, quiet and very walkable. The linens and furnishings were comfortable and the kitchen was well- equipped. The welcome bottle of Prosecco was also much appreciated!

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!

Had a fab few days staying here. Annie was a super host. Very accommodating and helpful. Would recommend this as a great place to stay for a visit to Edinburgh.

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

We loved our stay at Steven's aparment! It was the perfect location to explore Edinburgh - an easy walk to the Old Town, but far enough away that it was quieter and more peaceful. It was clean, comfortable, and incredible value for the price. Highly recommend!

A lovely apartment that was a perfect base for a weekend in Edinburgh. It was clean, comfortable and quiet. James was very responsive and I will definitely be going back.

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