Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Leith

Melissa’s flat has been put together with so much thought, it is stylish, cosy, and comfortable. It is perfectly located to be walkable for all the main sites in Edinburgh and has lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops, and bars nearby (and Melissa provided a guidebook to help find the best spots). Melissa was incredibly accommodating and even arranged an infant cot for us. Would absolutely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage is very cozy and had everything we needed for a relaxing break. Our toddler especially loved exploring outside and had a great time running around the old Kirk next door. A lovely, peaceful spot—we’d definitely stay again!

The Shiel House was an absolutely stunning and massive property. We visited as a large group of 8 on a golf trip, and this was the perfect Airbnb. It was beyond spacious, with all the amenities a large group would need for a week long stay. The location was great for us with popular golfing destinations like St Andrews and Gleneagles within driving distance, as well as a litany of local courses. We also were within driving distance of Edinburgh with plenty of fine dining options. Tim was a very gracious and helpful host who provided clear instructions on locating the property, as well as a fun treasure hunt that takes you around the property and to local spots. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the property and the host!!

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!

We loved the decor - so many lovely touches and were really comfortable. The 26 bus meant we were really well connected to Edinburgh and the pretty coast.

Jamie was an excellent host. The place is fantastic.

We had a fantastic stay at Green Cottage. Craig was very helpful from the start with travel tips and luggage drop off information. Craig provided very useful information for checking in and locating the cottage, everything was easy to follow. The cottage is in a lovely location, within walking distance of the Royal Botantial Gardens and the coast line. It is also near many bus routes and easy to visit all the tourist sites in Edinburgh.

A great base for visiting Edinburgh. Lovely accommodation; peaceful neighbourhood and very easy transport links into the city. Can also highly recommend the Riccarton Inn, within a few minutes walk - great food and drinks selection and the Tuesday night quiz is good fun. Fiona is an excellent host - very responsive, clear communication and very proactive to make sure your stay is a good one. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic stay at Glenn's Airbnb :) All the facilities were perfect and the location was easy to find and a great base for exploring Edinburgh and beyond 💗 Super easy to jump on and off a bus for further trips (we did Portabello Beach and Edinburgh zoo). Would recommend and stay again!

Super clean apartment. Everything we needed for our stay. As others have said, if you have mobility issues the 80+ stairs in may be problematic, but worth it. On the tram line, so super easy to get around especially with tap in and out now active. Thank you

Ruth was responsive and available. This is the kind of stay we wanted, quiet and not directly in the city.

Apartment in a great position. There was nothing missing. Clean and comfortable. Francois is ready to respond quickly to any doubts or questions. Absolutely recommended.

We loved staying in this beautiful apartment in Dean Village, which was stunning. Graham

Very spacious flat with a very well equipped kitchen. Everything was clean and we felt instantly comfortable and kind of at home. Super parking space. The flat is located in a quiet area near the beach. Pamela and Greg were more than friendly and helpful. We loved everything.

Emma's flat in the city is wonderful!! It is everything we needed for four people, and was in a great location right out of the way of the hussle and bustle of the main street but still very centrally located. Emma was super responsive and helpful both in the booking process and in answering inquiries/assisting during our stay. I would absolutely come back here, thank you Emma!

This was a wonderful find for Edinburgh! The place was comfortable and had many amenities for my toddler that was traveling with us.

We liked everything, the price is good

Stayed here for 2 nights with 5 other adults - one of the best decisions! As a start, check-in was smooth. Everyone has their bed, towels which is great. Had to figure out the heater (our country is Summer all year) and Lukas was very responsive. This location is almost a straight drive to the city centre. With free parking at the location, it gave us great relief to know we won’t get penalised. Love this place! I would recommend this to others.

we have just left Howford house after a lovely 3 night weekend stay to celebrate my husbands 40th. we were a family of 14 adults, 2 children and a newborn baby and we had the most peaceful comfortable stay. the house is fantastic, it has everything you need and the location although super private and peaceful, it was near restaurants, the coop supermarket, Traquair House and land which we got discounted because we were house guests, and lots of walks and hikes. the surrounding acres were stunning with the frost and autumn leaves. we all loved our stay, the kids (and the adults) didn't want to leave. special thanks to Elaine the housekeeper who was brilliant with her communication and help. we will recommend and be back in the future.

Entering this well appointed, beautiful home, there is a feeling of warmth and relaxation. The skylights bring in the natural light to the bathrooms. The Kitchen is modern and sleek, with everything you need to make a first class meal. The visually stunning, spacious backyard has a wonderful garden. There is a park just behind the house. My daily jog would lead me down to the beach. Here i would do a quick cold plunge- rejuvenating my body. The area is surrounded by a world renowned collection of golf clubs. The Longniddry golf club is a short walk and is a fun track. Thank you for being great hosts.

Amazing house with lots to do. The room at the top of the spiral stairs was just a bit difficult to get into and out of, with low ceilings, and it gets warm up there. One more bathroom for that number of bedrooms could be nice... but it all worked out. It was pretty close to perfect for our family reunion. And it's great for hide and seek! We recommend it.

Suzanna and Derek welcomed us in a friendly way and explained everything to us in detail. We were able to leave our luggage a little earlier than the specified time. Overall, everything was as described. A little cutlery would have been great:-) We didn't ask for it, but I'm sure Suzanna would have helped us out with it. Portobello is a nice suburb of Edinburgh, right on the beach. There are good bus services in the city. Shopping facilities are also within walking distance.

This house was exactly as advertised. Spacious and beautiful. Perfect for two families. Check in was easy and Jacki was very responsive.
