The Bothy On The River Rede !
Very friendly and welcoming hosts. A really lovely little bothy in a beautiful spot. Perfect for a weekend break. We were breaking a journey north but it would be ideal for a few days walking or cycling. Thanks so much Marcelle and Alan and the dogs!

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 flat was the perfect landing spot for us in Leith. Easy access to the tram, buses, totally convenient. Loved our visit the Cooperage and would book again. Wish the weather had been better, but that’s our luck! Thank you, Ricky!

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!

Harbour's Edge, Fantastic Sea Views.
Extraordinary accommodation with magnificent view and in a beautiful location loaded with charm.

Pittenweem - Seafront Flat on the Mid Shore
Had a wonderful stay for a couple of nights. Helen and Nigel were perfect hosts. Lovely location and very quiet at night. Plenty parking right outside the accommodation. A lovely comfy king size bed, good shower and the kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. As we had our dog with us, the enclosed, sheltered courtyard garden was a plus. This was perfect for us and thoroughly recommend.

Best View in Leith from the Clock on the Shore
Beautiful place to stay , great location with nice quirky decor we all loved it . Would recommend to anyone.

Wallace Lodge - Unique experience
We had a lovely stay at this beautiful and clean lodge. We had everything we needed and felt like home. Beautiful views and great hot tube. Wallace is a great host, he is friendly and fast responding. We definitely recommend this place and we will return soon. Thank you for everything!

Semi-rural detached spacious house, stunning views
Great house and great location. Everything we wanted and needed was there. lovely situation. And we got in earlier than the 5pm which made it easier since we were coming from different directions. if I was to make any criticism it would be that getting us all out by 10am was a bit tight, given we had the beds to strip.

Dundonnachie House (License PK11066F)
Located right next to Black-watch bar/hotel at the top of the town. Easy walk to Menzies castle, fun walk to the Birks, and it was made even better by the once a month market we got to stop in and buy fresh local goods to cook with and artisans to buy keepsakes. Wonderful place and would love to stay here again!!!

Stunning house overlooking Loch Tay
The accommodation is lovely, superb views over Loch Tay. Upstairs area is very spacious, well equipped throughout. Thoughtful touches left such as tea, coffee, sugar, shortbread and milk. Kim also messaged to let us know the place would be ready earlier than the listed checkin time which we really appreciated.

Haven Lodge (Couples beach retreat)
What a fantastic place! The Lodge itself is a nice, bright relaxing place to spend time in between activities. Add in the fact that it is walking distance to a brilliant beach (~5mins), and only 15mins walk to the lovely harbour village of St Abbs, and it's pretty perfect. We could only manage a short stay this time, but will definitely be looking to book a longer break in the near future. Thanks Bob & Lu

Bright, spacious house with panoramic views
We had such a wonderful time staying at this property. The views are stunning and it had everything we needed. It felt so homely we didn’t want to leave! Thank you so much.

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!

Loch Lomond area. Luxury Cottage with hot tub.
Secluded, peaceful, private property with a river at the bottom of the garden. Bright, airy, clean, well furnished accommodation. Loved the log burner. Very well attended clean hot tub. Owners were very attentive for any needs should they be required but not intrusive at all. The bedrooms were clean and well furnished with fully equipped bathrooms - upstairs and downstairs. Great towels provided. Plenty of space to have a quiet time inside or outside from the hot tub or seating area at the large table with chairs. Beautiful views of the river and fields through the French doors. Nice touch of freshly baked scones welcomed us on arrival. Unfortunately we could not spend much time enjoying the property over our 3 day stay due to our daughter’s wedding but we would definitely love to return again. A great property to spend time as a family with children as there is an outside play area for children and huge amount of board games and toys available in the house.

Castle View, Fringe Festival 15 min via tram
Amazing place to stay while visiting Edinburgh. Located in a cute neighborhood where you can feel like a local. Very walkable. Excellent views in two directions, to the water in Newhaven/Leith and towards Arthur’s Seat/old town. Gorgeously decorated and also very comfortable. Anita shared super helpful recommendations that made our stay that much more memorable - even recommendations for our drive to and from London (to stop at Holy Island / Lindisfarne Castle which was a trip highlight). Kitchen properly outfitted for good cooking and grocery stores walkable nearby. So lovely - I wish I could live here.

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!

Coastal retreat in Cellardyke near St. Andrews
Great little home for our quick stay near St Andrews! We also booked ocean side sauna reservations at the new spot in Cellardyke, short walk from the home. The Haven restaurant is just around the corner as well and serves excellent food, cocktails and pints. It’s a quick drive to St Andrews and all the golf/shopping/ruins youd want to explore. I loved the historical information in the home folder as well! Thanks for letting us stay! We’ll be back.

Lovely 2 Bed Apartment by the waterfront
We loved Andy and Karen's apartment. It was in a fabulous location; was well equipped, comfortable and clean; and was close to lots of cafes, restaurants, pubs, and amenities. We highly recommend it. We are already planning our next trip and hope to stay in this apartment again. Thanks Andy and Karen.

Super Seafront Apartment - 2 Bedrooms Nr Edinburgh
Excellent location with beautiful views of the beach from the Living room and Kitchen. It is location within a 5 minute walk to provision stores and restaurants. Also, for those who love walks along the beach , this is ideal

Flat4 , Perth City Apartments . Driveway parking.
This Airbnb felt very professional. Having access to a kitchen in the room was very appreciated.

Luxury Glasgow Harbour Apartment
Smart flat very handy to the conference centre. Good size for 1 to 2 people... Everything works well including the washer dryer. Quiet neighbours, easy access.. WiFi excellent. Highly recommended and Scott was very helpful and fast.

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.
