Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Edinburgh Old Town

Melissa’s flat has been put together with so much thought, it is stylish, cosy, and comfortable. It is perfectly located to be walkable for all the main sites in Edinburgh and has lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops, and bars nearby (and Melissa provided a guidebook to help find the best spots). Melissa was incredibly accommodating and even arranged an infant cot for us. Would absolutely stay again!

Melissa was a friendly, helpful and very responsive host. The house was exactly want we wanted and expected. The place was also spotless. The rooms were all good sizes and the bathroom was modern and had a really nice shower (with a bath for the kids) l. The location was great for our little family that wanted space in the evenings but happy to travel a bit to get into Edinburgh, we found the short drive to Kirkcaldy where we could park at the station and get a train directly into central Edinburgh worked perfectly for us. Or you could use as a base for driving to different parts of Scotland. I wish we had time to look at the local area some more as it's near a coastal path. I would definitely come again and recommend to others.

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage is very cozy and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Our toddler especially loved exploring outside and had a great time running around the old Kirk next door. A lovely, peaceful spot—we’d definitely stay again!

Truly spectacular view in a wonderful setting. Gorgeous property that is obviously a project that is well loved. We would welcome the opportunity to stay here again.

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!

I stayed here for my wedding weekend, we used the accommodation for a pre-wedding get together and getting ready on the morning of… hair, make up etc. The place was bright, spacious and clean. Would definitely recommend to others if they were looking for a great air bnb in South Queensferry!

Jamie was an excellent host. The place is fantastic.

We had a fantastic stay at Green Cottage. Craig was very helpful from the start with travel tips and luggage drop off information. Craig provided very useful information for checking in and locating the cottage, everything was easy to follow. The cottage is in a lovely location, within walking distance of the Royal Botantial Gardens and the coast line. It is also near many bus routes and easy to visit all the tourist sites in Edinburgh.

If you want to live 'Night at the Museum" this is the place to be. The bedroom was so well appointed, from the comfortable bed, plenty of blankets, easy to use fireplace and the one of a kind history of this location, the Kings Chambers was the highlight of our trip. Even the tours coming through to the courtyard made it extra special because it added to the history of the space and place. The entire space was an immersive experience.

We had a fantastic stay at Glenn's Airbnb :) All the facilities were perfect and the location was easy to find and a great base for exploring Edinburgh and beyond 💗 Super easy to jump on and off a bus for further trips (we did Portabello Beach and Edinburgh zoo). Would recommend and stay again!

It was my first time traveling alone and Skye helped make me feel very comfortable. She was extremely accommodating and amazing to interact with. The location is perfect for exploring the city by foot. You’re only a 20-30 minute walk from the old and new town (Victoria street and princes street). It’s almost a direct walk up the main street or I chose to walk through the park. It’s a very safe area and everyone is super friendly. I felt very safe being alone. There are plenty of good food options nearby even amazing vegan options. Or the flat has a full kitchen with everything you need to cook yourself a meal. There’s even a small grocery store next door. It’s very cozy and cutely decorated. I would absolutely love to stay here again! Thank you so much for everything Skye!

Ruth was responsive and available. This is the kind of stay we wanted, quiet and not directly in the city.

All good, great place, easy to access, great location.

All good. Great location. Thank you.

Yvonne's apartment is very comfortable, well equipped and an ideal location for exploring Edinburgh on foot (20 mins walk to the castle). The garage parking space makes it a great deal if you have a car. Yvonne gave us a lot of helpful information about the local shops and restaurants as well as Edinburgh in general.

Anna‘s place is located in a very quiet neighborhood, but close walking distance to Grass Market and the Royal Mile. It felt very homey and extremely spacious. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Even though there was a slight unpleasant musty odor coming from the shower drain, it did not dampen our visit here and the odor remained only in that room. Everything else was super clean and wonderful. I would definitely stay here again.

We liked everything, the price is good

Amazing house with lots to do. The room at the top of the spiral stairs was just a bit difficult to get into and out of, with low ceilings, and it gets warm up there. One more bathroom for that number of bedrooms could be nice... but it all worked out. It was pretty close to perfect for our family reunion. And it's great for hide and seek! We recommend it.

This house was exactly as advertised. Spacious and beautiful. Perfect for two families. Check in was easy and Jacki was very responsive.

Stayed here for 2 nights with 5 other adults - one of the best decisions! As a start, check-in was smooth. Everyone has their bed, towels which is great. Had to figure out the heater (our country is Summer all year) and Lukas was very responsive. This location is almost a straight drive to the city centre. With free parking at the location, it gave us great relief to know we won’t get penalised. Love this place! I would recommend this to others.

we have just left Howford house after a lovely 3 night weekend stay to celebrate my husbands 40th. we were a family of 14 adults, 2 children and a newborn baby and we had the most peaceful comfortable stay. the house is fantastic, it has everything you need and the location although super private and peaceful, it was near restaurants, the coop supermarket, Traquair House and land which we got discounted because we were house guests, and lots of walks and hikes. the surrounding acres were stunning with the frost and autumn leaves. we all loved our stay, the kids (and the adults) didn't want to leave. special thanks to Elaine the housekeeper who was brilliant with her communication and help. we will recommend and be back in the future.

We had a fantastic stay at this Air BnB – it truly felt like a home away from home. The house is beautiful, warm, and welcoming, with all the thoughtful touches that make a stay extra comfortable. The hosts were incredibly helpful and responsive, making everything seamless from start to finish. The location is perfect – nestled in a peaceful area but just a quick hop onto the motorway, giving you easy access to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. We highly recommend this Airbnb to anyone visiting the area and will definitely return when we travel back. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Entering this well appointed, beautiful home, there is a feeling of warmth and relaxation. The skylights bring in the natural light to the bathrooms. The Kitchen is modern and sleek, with everything you need to make a first class meal. The visually stunning, spacious backyard has a wonderful garden. There is a park just behind the house. My daily jog would lead me down to the beach. Here i would do a quick cold plunge- rejuvenating my body. The area is surrounded by a world renowned collection of golf clubs. The Longniddry golf club is a short walk and is a fun track. Thank you for being great hosts.

Suzanna and Derek welcomed us in a friendly way and explained everything to us in detail. We were able to leave our luggage a little earlier than the specified time. Overall, everything was as described. A little cutlery would have been great:-) We didn't ask for it, but I'm sure Suzanna would have helped us out with it. Portobello is a nice suburb of Edinburgh, right on the beach. There are good bus services in the city. Shopping facilities are also within walking distance.
