Cottage holiday rentals in Lothian

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 Stars! Excellent home in a really peaceful beautiful location. It was easy to find and no issues entering the property. Stunning old house which clearly has a lot of history. The home was well presented and we found it comfortable. All the instructions were clear. The hot tub was excellent and the kids loved it. So peaceful at night. Only a 10 min drive into Alyth where there is a couple of shops, but many many lovely walks about ideal for dogs. The wifi was a bit hit and miss we struggled watching tv as it kept freezing with no signal. However given the rural location this is excepted and didn’t bother us too much. AGA cooker was great a real experience and I’m sure in the winter it’s beautiful and warm. Overall we would recommend the property, my only room for improvement would be looking into the WiFi and potentially adding a better dining table and chairs outside. It would have been lovely to dine outside on some more comfort chairs and better seating. Still 5 stars!

We absolutely loved staying at the cottage. This was our third place during our Scotland trip and I am so glad we booked it. It allowed us to explore more nature scenes across Scotland and simply have a safe and comfortable home after exploring all day. If we are ever in Scotland again, we will certainly book again.

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!

An absolutely wonderful stay at Tamano Farm for my partners birthday with our friends and toddler. The cottage is spacious, clean, family friendly and comfortable with all amenities you can ask for. The kitchen was well equipped and the large dining table was great for dining together. Our toddler especially enjoyed seeing the sheep, lambs and feeding the donkeys. The surroundings are very peaceful and scenic. We appreciated the effort to be as eco friendly as possible. Everyone loved the hot tub and sauna. Takes some time to set up, that is to be expected as wood fired but was well worth it and very relaxing. Very friendly hosts with great communication. No complaints about our stay at all we could have stayed for much longer. Thank you for having us!

We had a fantastic time at The Stables celebrating our rescue greyhound’s fifth birthday - she got to run around happily in the enclosed garden whilst we enjoyed our complimentary Prosecco in the hot tub!Secluded location, relaxing and everything you could need thought of by Paul & Fiona. Highly recommend!

This was a great find. Katrina is one of the most responsive and informative hosts I have had on Airbnb. Being from out of the country we had several questions and she answered so quickly. There were some hiking trails near by which was a nice surprise, and Katrina recommended Gloagburn which was a hidden gem! Would recommend this to anyone looking to be off the beaten path but still have plenty to do!

We had a really lovely stay at the cottage, and as others have said the games room is fabulous fun, the horses were a huge hit with our kids, and we thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub after a fun day out! Thank you again Helen and family for a super place to relax and have great fun. We really enjoyed our visit.

We had a truly wonderful stay in Natalie’s enchanting flat. It’s so private and peaceful, well designed and thoughtful. Right in the heart of Crail, a charming little sea-side town full of character! Natalie was so kind to us and our 18 months son. If we’re ever back in Crail we will definitely be staying in this very special place again.

Lucy is a very kind and generous person. She will do her utmost to help with any problems. Yesterday, I went out the back door to find a box of eggs from her chickens. She leaves them regularly. I know if there is anything where I need assistance I just need to ask and she's there. A truly super host

The cottage was pristine, modern comfortable and very comfortable. The decor is modern but relaxed, the sofa is sooooo comfy and the bed is huuuge. The location is very peaceful, although to get to any amenities it does mean a drive, there is no shop, pub, restaurant etc within walking distance. The location is excellent for exploring Northumberland, under an hour from Bamburgh Castle, half an hour from Alnwick and Alnwick Castle, and an hour ish from Berwick upon Tweed.

House very clean and well decorated we saw 3 spiders in house but then we were in the countryside and simply removed them. WiFi password had been erased from rooter but contacted Lois who very quickly sorted that. All in all a beautiful village a beautiful home and a fantastic stay. Would love to go back one day

Excellent accommodation, ideal for two couples. Spacious, very well equipped, comfortable beds. Easy access to coastal path. Can recommend East End Bar Pittenweem for evening meal - excellent 👌 Would return to Chris's cottage again. 👍

Just returned home from a lovely stay in the amazing Bartlehill Cottage. Absolutely spotlessly clean and even nicer than the photos. The garden is beautiful and the woodland walk was perfect for our lively terriers! The cottage is so well equipped and lots of thought has been given to supplying pretty much everything you may need. Furnishings and bedding are super quality and very comfortable. Lowri is the most perfect host, helpful and very responsive to messages. It was our first visit to Northumberland and the Scottish Borders and we'll definitely be returning to Bartlehill to do some more exploring!

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

As previous reviews stated, the pictures don’t do it justice. We combined working in Edinburgh and a Golf break, the location was perfect for this. Thank you for letting us stay.

What a beautiful cottage ! Extremely well presented and equipped a really cosy home from home . Beds very comfortable and plenty of hot water!!Lovely outdoor garden area. Katie is the best host , so helpful. The welcome foodstuffs were much appreciated on arrival. Highly recommended this gorgeous cottage in such a wonderful area to explore!

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

The Wash House was a fantastic spot for our time in the Trossachs. The house is very thoughtfully decorated and comfortable, and exactly what we needed. We got incredible recommendations for what to do, where to eat, and where to get coffee from our hosts. Thank you for a lovely stay!

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.

We had a lovely visit to Blackridge. The property was in a rural setting. Up a long private road so we was happy we had the car. We laughed when we got back from shopping with icecream lollies, to find there was no freezer. So we had to have icecreams for lunch, which wasn't a problem in the end. The property had everything we needed and more, with board games, a lovely starter pack of bread butter milk and eggs was much appreciated. We came and went as we pleased and the location was perfectly in between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Duncan was very informative and welcoming. Perfect little weekend had by all for of us.

If I could rate Julie’s place with 1000 stars, I would! I stayed at this home for 3 nights with a couple of friends while we vacationed in Edinburgh. It was such a fantastic experience! Julie was incredibly approachable, helpful and generous, and extremely pleasant to work with. The accommodations were clean, comfortable and well supplied with everything you would need to have a peaceful and relaxing visit. On my future visits to Scotland, I would most certainly stay here again!

Wonderful stay near Rosslyn Chapel. Gorgeous view, enchanting garden, and lovely sunroom. The living room converts into a nice second bedroom. We had a great time!

Loved our stay at middle cottage. We were on a golfing trip and Gullane, North Berwick and Kilspindie were all less than 20 minutes drive. Location was superb on the edge of East Linton village. Furnishings and linens were great! We felt right at home. It is clear Jan and Bryan have gone to a lot of trouble to welcome their guests. We were very comfortable despite the disappointing weather. (Sadly too inclement to enjoy the garden). The TPE train from East Linton to Edinburgh takes only 18 or 19 minutes which is so much quicker than driving.
