Rose Cottage, Williamscraig, Linlithgow
Awesome cottage in a wonderful area, full of animals closeby! Highly recommend!!

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!

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
Great place to stay. Will definitely use again if working in the area. Thanks!

Distillers Cottage
A tranquil and peaceful stay in this spacious and well equipped cottage. We were well looked after by Jenny and co. and felt totally relaxed. Enjoyed our interactions with farm life, which included birthing a lamb, petting the donkies and seeing the newborn kittens, it made our stay very special. The house is well located for trips into Edinburgh and Glasgow, or to enjoy nearby countryside. You won't regret it!

Appletree Cottage, Williamscraig, Linlithgow
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.

Pentland Pod
We had a wonderful stay for our mini moon!! Our hosts where friendly and helpful we invited them for a drink with us it was fantastic knowing how they designed the place and their lives and points of interest for us to look out for. We enjoyed the hot tub so much and using the BBQ!! Was tidy and comfortable perfect for a couples get away. I highly recommend staying here the bus stop was just a minute walk from the front door and so close to Edinburgh!!

Bridge End Lodge
Fantastic stay, excellent lodge and facilities. Great place to stay. Highly recommend

Cosy Edinburgh cottage, near Portobello beach
We had a lovely stay. Portobello is a great base from which to explore Edinburgh. We are a family of four and found the accommodations to be perfect for us. Very quiet neighborhood with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!

Highfield Cottage
We had an excellent time staying in Jillian and Hugh's lovely cottage. My partner and I had a few days' holiday before I stayed for a week's work in Edinburgh, and it was a wonderful place both to relax and to work - there was plenty of space to work at the dining table, a comfortable living room space, and a good amount of storage space in the kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. The kitchen had all the utensils and crockery we needed to cook (apart from a cheese grater, which Jillian kindly provided immediately when I asked!), the little garden was an excellent place to sit in the dusk and enjoy a game of Scrabble and the view across to the Firth of Forth, and the bed was comfortable for a good night's sleep. While Jillian and Hugh were often out working in the wider garden, they were very respectful of our privacy and we didn't feel overlooked. The train to Edinburgh is a 5 minute walk away - very convenient. We had a delightful time, and hope to stay again next time we visit Edinburgh.

Drumbank Cottage* - Sleeps 4
The cottage was ideal for our requirements and it was very roomy. Everything was on the ground level and it was easy to enter & exit, with parking right in the front. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was fine, though it could do with some modernisation - separate taps for hot & cold water in the basin is not convenient. It was easy to communicate with the host and she responded to a maintenance issue very promptly. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

2 Bed in Edinburgh (53898)
Pine Cottage was wonderfully comfortable. The cottage which is on a gorgeous golf course is very clean and well equipped. I would stay there every time I’m in Edinburgh if I could. We loved it!

Historic Cottage w/ Parking | Pass The Keys
This was a perfect place for our group of eight. So thankful we found it for our stay in Edinburgh. The kitchen was well-equipped for eating in and the living area had seating for our whole group together. We enjoyed Duddingston Village, Dr Neill’s garden, and walking around the Kirk grounds. The location was fantastic for exploring Edinburgh. Highly recommend!

1 Bed in Winchburgh (95472)
Lovely hosts, they were always quick to respond to any questions I had. It was a quiet and cosy place to stay which stayed warm despite us staying in winter. Would recommend to others.

Gardener's Cottage* - Sleeps 3
The cottage is enchanting. It’s a place to discover life in the Scottish countryside and savor the joys of pristine nature, despite its proximity to the splendid city. The house has everything you need. Thank you for the wonderful stay. We’ll be back with great pleasure! Mara

Forth Reflections
Such a lovely place, the house is in a unique position a little above the main street and the views are exceptional. South Queensferry is a pretty little town with lots of restaurants, pubs and independent shops plus easy to get into Edinburgh (car, train, bus). The house is so well thought through, clean, tidy and cleverly makes the most of the space. A really special place to spend your break.

3 Bed in Edinburgh (79008)
Very comfortable, great location, and smooth check-in process - would stay again!

The Hayloft
Very lovely cottage in beautiful countryside, stunning views from the garden. Cosy, lots of character, attractive contemporary interior, good bathroom and en-suite loo. We didn’t see much of the hosts (family wedding, hectic itinerary) however pre-arrival communications were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again.

1 Bed in Stockbridge (E1887)
Perfect position in the beautiful Stockbridge, highly recommended

Artist Colony Garden Cottage | Walk to city centre
We had a great stay! The instructions were clear and we had no trouble getting into the apartment. When we arrived we were pleased to see a book of local recommendations. The area is very quiet and private, but also a quick walk or very easy bus ride into the city center. We really enjoyed using it as a jumping off point to explore Edinburgh.

Whitehouse Studio
Booked this for my dad, mum, aunty and uncle for their adventure in Scotland and they said it was very lovely lace to stay, comfortable, pretty, and the host was lovely.

Harbour Hill Cottage
What a beautiful spot! Very quiet. We all slept very well! Wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate the beautiful surroundings. It is a little remote so if you don’t have a car (which we didn’t) may end up being a little expensive going in and out of Edinburgh, but we always got an Uber when we wanted one. Perfect for walkers and cyclists. Wish we had time to explore the area more. We may be back! Thanks, Kerry!

Dundas Castle Boathouse
We thoroughly enjoyed the Boathouse. It was relaxing and beautiful. Swans, ducks, and geese (even baby swans) greeted us on the first morning. A long walk around the grounds in the evening provided stunning views of Dundas Castle. That walk is a must! Everything is set amongst lush green and beautiful flowering rhododendrons. The cabin is just right for two- cozy and private with beautiful views.
