Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Lothian

We found the house to comfortable and clean, the beds were great with good quality mattresses and linen. The lounge was very comfortable and a good size. It was good to have the drive way as the streets around had a lot of cars fighting for space. The house is in an estate that has some really run down properties/areas but the house itself is next to some nice friendly neighbours (Annie with the two Chihuahuas!) We found it to be quiet at night. The cons: quite far away from town, you could walk but it's about 30 mins. There are some niggly issues with squeaky hinges, dodgy door handles and a window that wouldn't shut properly in the bathroom, but these were irritations rather than deal breakers. The hosts were very responsive and friendly. Would definitely stay again and would recommend.

Fantastic place to stay! Centrally located and is really a lovely place to head home too! Katie was super helpful and we will be looking to book again on our next visit! Thanks so much.

This was an amazing place for us to stay as an extended family. There were nine of us, plus two dogs, and we rented the Doocot and the Lodge in the grounds. It is located right up in the hills and was blissfully remote yet easily accessible to the A90 to Perth and Dundee. The house itself was very comfortable and exactly as described. The sitting room was amazing with its enormously high ceilings, plenty of squishy sofas and a piano. There was also a Smart TV. For us, the best feature was the enormous dining table which easily seated us all and could have taken several other people too. We had lovely meals together all round the table. It was really memorable. The bathrooms were clean and new. The roll top bath was lovely and super to soak in. Check in, host communications etc were all super easy and they even helped us to have a hot tub ready for our arrival from Fife Hot Tub Hire. All in all, would highly recommend to people looking for a comfortable break away in the hills.

Thanks Victor for sharing your lovely home! 2 adults and 2 kids, plenty of space for all. We felt right at home! Very walkable neighborhood, easy grocery access, and close to many fantastic parks and downtown Glasgow. Thanks for letting us live like the locals for a couple days. Highly recommend and would love to return someday!

Great stay! The location is super convenient—Tesco Express is just around the corner, a local shop is two minutes away, and there’s a lovely park nearby that’s perfect if you have pets.Anzelika is incredibly responsive, flexible, and friendly. She even offered us an extra hour to check out, and later extended it by another hour, even though we didn’t end up needing it. The home itself is very cozy, spacious, and well-equipped—you’ll find everything you need in the kitchen. We even managed to park our SUV inside the property, which was a big plus. The overall vibe of the place is really welcoming. Loved the stay and would definitely recommend.

We had a fantastic few days away in this house. there was plenty of space for two families of four and a dog. The enclosed garden and garden furniture were a great addition, especially as the weather was lovely while we were there. Would definitely book again in the future.

We had a great stay and would recommend anyone looking for a very clean and comfortable place in Stirling. During our stay we agreed we would book again for later in the year Shops and takeaways are very close which we used and enjoyed everything we ordered Also bus stops and friendly taxi service Thank you Tracy

Very comfortable and attractive apartment right in the middle of the amenities and very well placed for all the local attractions.

Host is proactive, accommodation is absolutely same as described.

We had a lovely stay in Scott’s very attractive, comfortable flat. It’s got a really nice outdoor patio area and the walk along the harbour is fun to do. Lots of nice restaurants nearby and the parking is very straightforward. Scott himself was very friendly and helpful. All in all quite a find!

We were a family of 5 and spent 3 nights in Rachel’s apartment. Apartment was spacious, clean and had everything we needed. Location is excellent. A couple mins to tram and easy walk to all the sights. Near lots of places to eat too and a Tesco express just around the corner. There were boxes of toys in the app which were great for entertaining our 5 year old. Rachel had everything labelled so you know where everything is and how everything works. Would stay here again and would definitely recommend.

Sally’s home was 5/5. It was so comfy, great location and a real home from home. Wish we could have stayed there longer and we would definitely come back. It was quiet too, just the perfect choice!

Perfectly lovely stay, easily accessible flat, not mobility friendly, but this isn't anyones fault. The area is lovely and out of the way but only a roughly £10 Uber from centre of Edinburgh, but there is a bus stop within a 2 mins walk. This location made it very easy to go in and out to explore. Very quiet in the evenings which was much appreciated after the busy touristy centre. The flat was spotless and well kept. Only thing I can recommend is make sure you stop at a supermarket or get food/drink/ want you want before journeying back to b&b.

Sue And Grant were always very helpful, helped us in every possible way, responded quickly to our questions and made us feel at home. The Apartment is very well located, close to bus stops and 15m from the center. Although it is a small space, it is very well equipped, monetized and decorated, being the only less positive aspect, the quality of the bed mattress (soft and uncomfortable, at least for us). It is well worth it all the whole town, we came back without a second thought.

Apartment was lovely and in a great location for seeing the sights in Edinburgh. Keith was extremely responsive and ready to help with all of our questions

What a fab apartment! Set in an elegant, quiet Georgian crescent in walking distance of Glasgow City Centre, this period apartment was spotlessly clean with king size, very comfortable beds, a large open plan lounge and modern bathroom. The host was very friendly and responsive and provided very clear instructions on how to find the property and gain access. Great value. Can highly recommend.

Diane was a wonderful, helpful host, and the apartment proved to be a useful base for our time in Stirling. Just below the castle and minutes from anything (including several decent takeaway locations and a large grocery store), made it easy for our group to tackle errands and get back to seeing the sights. The comfortable apartment gave us plenty of space, a fast Internet connection, and a great space to wind down in at the end of the day.

This location was beautiful!! I worked remotely from this location- the WiFi was great, the washer in-unit was handy, and the flat itself was gorgeous. The location was very walkable. The hosts were also very kind. Thanks so much again for letting me stay!

Jonathan was a great host - even coming to meet us from the bus stop when there was a road closure & arranging a late check out at no extra cost. The flat is brilliantly positioned for food shopping & public transport & is quiet, spotlessly clean & well equipped. The communal staircase definitely needs redecorating but that didn’t bother us once we were inside the flat, as it was so cosy & homely. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Jonathan.

Another perfect stay at Harbour Haven. The large dining kitchen gives us somewhere to sit in the morning if the sofa bed in the living room is still occupied. The master bedroom is incredibly spacious with a generous four-poster. The flat has recently been renovated, though it was already in great condition. As always, the standout is the location. It’s perfectly situated between the high street and the promenade and the living room boasts the most glorious view of the harbour and the sea beyond. This is our third stay at Harbour Haven and we couldn’t recommend it strongly enough. The hosts are always so responsive, approachable and friendly.

Best location possible. Also very clear instructions and great communication which I find very important when travelling to a new place. Highly recommend.

Lovely cosy appartment - perfect location for our short stay in Edinburgh

Lovely property & equally lovely and accommodating host. Would recommend and will certainly re-book in the future.

# Airbnb Review for JoAnn JoAnn was a fantastic host during our month-long stay with our two kids. Her apartment is perfectly located in the center of the city, making it incredibly convenient for exploring everything on foot. The space was immaculately clean and exactly as advertised in the listing. JoAnn was responsive whenever we had questions but respected our privacy throughout our stay. The apartment had everything we needed for a comfortable extended stay with children. Her local recommendations helped us discover some hidden gems in the neighborhood. Would absolutely stay at JoAnn's place again - it was the ideal home base for our family's remote working and StAndrews adventure!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
