Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shandon, Edinburgh

We had a lovely few days, staying at Appletree Cottage, with our two grandchildren aged 6 and 3. The cottage was very comfy and well equipped, and ideally suited our needs. Good location for many attractions such as Blair Drummond Safari Park, Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. We were lucky to have good weather so the excellent play area and hot tub were much enjoyed each day. Would definitely recommend booking.

Great location. Clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Only short walk to grass market area, where there are plenty of bars and restaurants.

Awesome cottage in a wonderful area, full of animals closeby! Highly recommend!!

We stayed 2 nights at the beginning of our vacation in Scotland. The location was perfect for walking to all the best spots in Edinburgh. Michelle was the person I communicated with upon arrival, she was extremely helpful and very prompt in returning my texts. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Highly recommend Carol's listing. Great location and beautiful surroundings!

Enjoyed our stay at such a creative and beautiful airbnb. It was a new experiencefor us staying in the countryside enjoying the sunset, BBQ, bathtub and feeding the animals. Sandy was a great host. She showed us around and helped us alot with our transportation. Much appreciation.

Only 30 mins drive from the airport, we were greeted by Drew to get a walk through. It's their family home so it has everything you could need, very spacious, private, safe, and friendly neighborhood. Only 5 minutes walk from a coastal restaurant we ate at every night. Takes exactly 1-hour to get to Waverly Edinburgh station by train, from the moment you leave the front door. We were a group of 5 work colleagues who all needed their own bedroom, and this space more than accommodated. Highly recommend. Amazing view of Edinburgh from every window. Evening beach strolls are a must.

I absolutely loved this serene little guesthouse tucked away just outside of Edinburgh. It was very nice, clean, and functional for our family group. It was easy to navigate from there to surrounding areas by car. Ali was so personable and friendly! Truly a pleasure to stay here, and we would gladly stay again!

Had a wonderful time at Hanne’s place! Location was pretty unbeatable - it may look a bit far from the centre on Google, but it’s really only a 15 minute walk and it’s WORTH IT to be in Stockbridge. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfy!

Our stay at Roland’s Airbnb was an absolute delight! The location was perfect - incredibly walkable to all the tourist spots. The bed was super comfortable and the space was very cozy. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We loved staying in Dan and Alex's home! It had everything you could possibly need, spotlessly clean, tidy, loads if linen, towels etc. And the views from the lounge and kitchen windows were absolutely spectacular!! Also the WiFi and tv were excellent! Lovely walks along the beach and surrounding areas and beautiful sunsets! Also the town had good local shops and the locals were extremely friendly. If you needed a big shop, Kirkaldy was only just over 2 miles away with a large Morrisons and a Lidls across the road plus an Aldi's about a mile further on. The Kinghorn fish & chip shop directly up the hill from Barton Buildings was excellent, very reasonable and friendly staff! All in all, we'd definitely go back to Kinghorn and would recommend Dan and Alex's flat to everyone!!

I have no word that truly captures this place. It is centrally located for folks who want to explore the highlands, lowlands and anywhere in between. The home was SO cozy and Maggie welcomed us like family, sharing her local knowledge of the best places to visit, great scenic routes to get there, and absolutely THE best restaurants around. The home had comfy bedding, a cozy living room complete with wood burning stove for those chilly nights, and a oversized tub to soak away the day. Maggie even had milk and orange juice in the refrigerator waiting for our coffee and tea. The scenery is second to none, surrounded by picturesque hills and a view of the Loch. I could stay here forever.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. 2 lady professionals traveling for work and this was a fabulous stop over. Quiet, super comfortable, safe and a lovely welcome hamper on arrival: Highly recommend. There is a lovely beach/woodland walk to stretch weary car travelled legs as well. Thanks Julie - hope to be back one day

A fantastic location, right in the heart of the Grassmarket area. This flat is roomy and comfortable with a very modern (and well equipped) kitchen and bathroom. We’d stay here again in a heartbeat!

This place is located in such a beautiful area and Lynda was so helpful!! I would absolutely love to come back

Beautiful place for a little break! Nice little visits from the pheasant neighbours in the morning! Perfect location! Lovely and clean!

This apartment was perfect for our family of 8. Great location with many restaurants in the area. Easy access to bus service for city center. Facilities had everything we needed. Perfect place.

Lovely host, very amenable and flexible. I booked for one day and ended up booking another day because of the place and surroundings. The host went out of her way to get me refunded the extra days cleaning fee. Would definitely recommend. Only had one bad point which is there was a spiderweb above the bed. Overall lovely host, lovely home, and beautiful area with lots to do and explore.

Absolutely beautiful, well-appointed flat. Fits all the of the amenities you could want into a lovely space that is walkable to different parts of the city. Would absolutely stay again!

Karin's place was great. It was right off the Royal Mile near Holyrood Palace and Arthur's Seat. It was walkable to everything. Well stocked kitchen, lots of restaurants and coffee shops, and we really appreciated the washer/dryer!

The place is very clean, beautiful and cosy! There is a nice ocean view. The kitchen amenities are very complete and clean, and the hosts know what the guests need. Would come back again!
