Stunning 1 Bedroom home in Elie
Fantastic stay in a beautiful location- everything as described and an incredible view! Will definitely return

Gorgeous country apartment w/ hot tub & log burner
Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

Luxury one-bedroom cottage ŵ outdoor bath & views
Had the most relaxing time at the Banchory Farm. The cottage is absolutely stunning the surrounding is peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely come back!

Cottage with optional extra of wood fired hot tub
I had a lovely weekend in Dawn and Darren’s wonderful cottage! It was clean and spacious, with great amenities . The added bonus of having a wood fire hot tub outside is fantastic! The cottage is in a lovely area for getting into nature, only a 10 minute walk to Loch Leven! Dawn was great to communicate with, very helpful and generous Will be back to visit again!

Pretty 3 bedroom cottage set in lovely gardens
Lovely property with everything you need for a stay. The grounds are lovely. The location is good as a hub and plenty of villages to visit and St Andrews is very close. Tara was quick to respond to any queries. I travelled with 2 teenagers and they were happy with WiFi speed. Also my dog loved the gardens. My husband brought back fish and chips from anstruther for dinner in less than 10 minutes. I would return to this accommodation.

Pentland Hills cottage hideaway
Had a lovely stay at this cottage . Near to Edinburgh as my son was doing the marathon but in a lovely location . Kylie was response to our messages and a lovely homemade loaf gave that extra touch for our arrival . Would definitely recommend and stay again .

Coastal cottage with stunning view.
We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

Broomrigg Farmhouse

The Wee Bothy @ East Lothian Cottages
Great place to stay, the cottage was clean and homely with a nice garden to enjoy. The location was perfect for both going to Edinburgh and exploring the local area/coast. Andrew was a very friendly and helpful host and his recommendations helped us get the most out of our visit. We would come again!

Grieves Cottage.
Beautiful cottage, good quality furniture and furnishings, kitchen fully fitted with all you could want. Two showers, two toilets and a bath. Everything about the cottage was excellent and a good sized garden. The cottage is situated within easy access to the coast. There are some good tea rooms in the area which serve good food [Merryhatton, Archerfield & Smeaton]. Herd cafe at Balgone is worth a visit. Adjacent to Herd cafe is a field with a number of Highland Coos, beautiful animals. North Berwick is more village like than a town, with many shops and cafes and a lovely dog friendly beach. I was so happy to find Grieves Cottage on Airbnb and would definitely recommend.

Beautifully Renovated (Self-Contained) Cottage
Great little place to stay. Very clean and location was fabulous for the different golf courses in the area. Beds were comfortable and clean and we slept great. The bedrooms have low slanted ceilings and would be difficult if you are very tall. Bathroom was large and shower was excellent with good water pressure and lots of hot water. Plenty of clean towels. The bathroom is downstairs, away from the bedrooms, so consider that if you have to use it frequently in the middle of the night. Communication with the host was very good.

Sylvan Orchard - family/ golfing friends retreat
Great place for us as usual - ideal for golf and food. Thanks Andrew

Pondfield Cottage, Gifford
We have really enjoyed during our stay at the cottage, it was very peaceful and warming.

Tranquil cottage with spectacular sea views
My friend and I had the most lovely stay at Spott Cottage. The interiors are perfection, the garden a dream and very well equipped and very clean and fresh.

Phantassie Cottage, East Linton
Comfortable and characterful cottage in a convenient location just off A1 and close to the railway station and local bus route. Fab bakery close by and lovely walk to Dunbar. Cottage was pristine and had everything needed for the stay.

Borthwick Farm Cottage Annex
My husband stayed here for work and thought it was a lovely little cottage annex in a fantastic location. The views are great and the annex is well equipped, clean, comfortable and peaceful. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. The hosts were friendly and answered queries quickly. It was nice to meet them and chat.

North Berwick cottage close to beach & High Street
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at old abbey road. Clean and cosy cottage. Super comfy beds! Great shower. Excellent location for all NB has to offer. We lucked out with the weather and great fun at New Year’s Day Loony Dook! Coffee at Zanzibar highly recommended and we had lovely food at the Herringbone and Nether Abbey hotel. Many thanks

Over Hailes Holiday Cottages - The Bothy
We had a lovely 3 night stay here with our 3 year-old. Beautiful spot overlooking a beautiful part of the country, easy drive to North Berwick and just down the road from one of the best bakeries (Bostock) we’ve been too.

Station Cottage
Our first time in New Berwick. Perfect location for golfing. Nice town with good Restaurants. House was very well equiped, new bathroom, very comfortable beds. Stores close by, same as parking/ train to Edinburgh. During daytime some noise from traffic, but in the night fine.

Abbeymill Farm Cottage
We had a super time at this cottage, it has been sensitively renovated and is very comfortable. The location is super, especially if you are a golf fan, with many of Scotlands best courses very close by. The owner was very helpful, without being intrusive, super hosts!

Garden Cottage
Eileen is a wonderful host and the cottage is a perfect place for me and my wife. I highly recommend it for future students at Chippendale Furniture School. Haddington is lovely - we will be back!

Charming seafront beach cottage with patio garden
The Boat Shore Cottage is a gem of a place! Fabulous position right on the shore. Compact, clean and cosy. Hannah is the perfect host, friendly and very kind, who went above and beyond for us, making us feel so welcome. Great location with easy access by train/bus to Edinburgh city centre yet feels a place apart, a friendly and quiet family seaside haven. Perfect! Thanks so much Hannah! We would love to come back and next time we will definitely book direct!

Traditional 2 bedroom cottage, sea view & parking
We had a lovely time in the Wee Hoose. It feels bigger than the photos show, very clean and comfortable, and hosts were very helpful with any of our questions. Dunbar is nice friendly costal town, and perfect as a base to explore Edinburgh, which we did 2 of the 3 days. Thank you.
