Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Edinburgh

We absolutely loved our time at Kirsteen and Rupert’s place! It was spacious, clean, private and wonderfully comfortable. Our fantastic hosts were so communicative and always responded to any queries/requests very quickly. The location is quiet and peaceful with the sea, pubs and restaurants within walking distance, plus the botanical gardens and the city centre a longer walk or brief taxi ride away.

We had an incredible stay, the apartment is lovely and Melissa was a great host. Our expectations were exceeded: 10 out of 10!

Beautifully renovated and spacious property. Great home base for visiting mid and east Lothian. Very quiet surroundings and between rooms. Highly recommend for friend groups or families. Daniela is a very attentive hostess. Only downside- could only find 1 hair dryer and utility knives were dull.

This place was perfect for us! Stockbridge was within walking distance and we found everything with the Mews to be clean and nicely decorated. The books on the bathroom bookshelf were entertaining and it was nice to be able to get a few loads of laundry done on our multi city holiday. Thank you!

A beautiful home situated in the Deans Village. We had a great stay! Thanks for the recommendations in the city Crawfurd.

This is the best place to stay in Edinburgh. The design and facilities are perfect. I really enjoyed my stay in this house. The owner is really kind and friendly.

The Garden Cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The location was very convenient to Stockbridge and all of its restaurants and shops. There are numerous bus stops within 10-20 mins walk to grab a quick bus up the hill into New Town, across Princes Gardens into Old Town, or even for easy day trips like to Rosslyn Chapel or Portobello. Victoria was a very accommodating host and easy to work with. The cottage had plenty of space, was very well equipped for self-catering, and was stocked with all the basics you need (e.g., coffee, tea, sugar, etc.). Having a washer and dryer (as well as a drying rack) was a luxury we’ve rarely seen in the UK or Europe.

This, by far, is the best stay I have visited. Marie is the perfect host, communicated in an exceptional manner, and provided the loveliest place to centre our stay in Edinburgh. From check in to check out, I felt welcome, comfortable, and well situated. Buses were frequent to go anywhere we needed and the accommodation was a welcome resting place after a long day of exploring. I have stayed many places but Marie's provided both the necessities and little extras that made this a fondly remembered experience rather than just a place to lay my head. I recommend this to anyone who wishes to visit and will be recommending it to family and friends who wish to visit in the future.

This was a really handy space for a quick stop in Edinburgh. It’s incredibly central and I was always only 20/25 mins to where I needed to be (on foot). The space is immaculately clean and tidy. I’d definitely stay again, ideal for short trips.

Amazing spot opposite the Writer’s Museum and such a special experience to be a temporary tenant in Gladstone’s Land.

Perfect place for a stay in Edinburgh. Walkable location from the train station and to all the major attractions. Lovely apartment. Very quiet despite being so close to the city sites. Veronique lives nearby and was very friendly, kind and helpful. The apartment was well-supplied with fresh items, and not with leftovers from previous renters. So nice upon arrival to see fresh milk, butter, eggs, bread, juice, yogurt, and a full supply of condiments. Just a great place to stay. Highly recommended. Two nearby restaurants we'd recommend are an Italian restaurant called Amerone, and a French one called Chez Jules. Both excellent and reasonably priced. Busy, so booking ahead is recommended. We used a private driving service, LR Executive, for a day trip out to the highlands. Very expensive, but it was a great way to see the area and do some hiking. They allowed us to plan our own journey and stops. Ask for Andy--a great guide and driver.

Absolutely stunning view of the castle there is a small patio that we had coffee every morning on just watching the castle. You can’t beat this location it’s so close to the Royal mile and the views are unreal!

It was a great experience. Amanda’s place is beautiful, with modern furnishings and an amazing view. The location is very central, yet it was still peaceful and quiet. We stayed there with our baby, and she had no trouble sleeping. The bed was large and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you might need. It truly felt like home. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Really appreciate your detailed instructions! No hassles and it was smooth. Love the location. Thank your very much Fleur for allowing us to stay! Thank you! Looking forward to come back to your home soon and explore Edinburgh!

Beautiful accommodations, exactly like pictures. Very clean with modern amenities and bonus Scottish snacks. Quiet & safe neighborhood within walking distance to almost everything, we would definitely stay here again!

Great stay at this comfortable apartment. We didn’t spend much time in the apartment but it was very clean and well equipped. Friendly host. Would definitely recommend. Thank you.

Amazing location, superb superb apartment Close to all the attractions Beautiful view of the Edinburgh castle from the windows Very very helpful host, alway available for our smallest queries. We are definitely coming back Thanks again

Toby's place was exactly what my wife and I needed. It was clean, comfortable, and perfectly located. Toby was very responsive and helpful. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat.

Lovely flat in a perfect location. Easy access to all Edinburgh has to offer with lots of good restaurants and pubs nearby. Aria's flat was so comfortable, clean, and inviting and Aria was great at communicating. I'd highly recommend this flat and would happily stay again.

I felt like a celebrity in this beautiful and quiet flat, right off the main action of Edinburghs center. The bed was comfy and had sparkling white sheets. The bathtub was just perfect for a soak after all the walking we did. The kitchen set up was perfectly stocked with tea, coffee and breakfast essentials, plus or host gave us great info on local shops for any other needs. We got the inside scoop on some of the best local restaurants and bars. Oh! And a jar of homemade Scottish Shortbread greeted us on our arrival! Absolutely worth every penny, and every step it takes to get to the flat. I didn't want to leave this chic little jewel in Edinburgh.

This place far exceeded our expectations!!! One of the nicest places we’ve ever stayed out. The comfort of the home is amazing and the decor is fun yet homie, yet the architecture was left to amaze and was well preserved. Felt like home right away. The location was great and was an easy walk to the Royal mile and everything else nearby. If returning to Edinburgh I’m booking here again.

Fiona and Pier were so very helpful in getting things together. The carriage building was very cozy and comfortable. Just a few blocks from Princes Street and fabulous Cairngorms coffee shop. Would highly recommend the Mews. Thank you Fiona.

Wonderful experience from booking to check out. Michelle was super responsive during the entire process and was even there to greet us upon arrival. The flat itself was absolutely lovely and the location was great. The surrounding neighborhood had ample restaurants, coffee shops, and bars (Michelle provided some great recommendations). The flat was also walkable to all the popular sights but still quiet and relaxing. Traveled through Europe for 12 days and this was our favorite spot :) highly recommend!

We spent a few days in Edinburgh in June and Rachel's AirBnB was perfect - clean, comfortable and relaxing. We knew we were within a few minutes of Holyrood and the end of the Royal Mile so walking up to the castle was easy. But we were also only a few minutes walk to all the major bus services which we used to get around the city. We would come again.
