Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Morningside, Edinburgh

Great and clean house approximately 40 min. away from the city center. We were with the 4 of us and 2 of us had to sleep in the living room, but if you're not home that much that is not a problem at all. The neighbourhood was nice and quiet, and despite it not being close by any of the main tourist attractions of the city, the public transport to and from the city was relatively fast. The hosts were nice and easy to communicate with. Overall, a great place to stay! Would definitely recommend :)

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!

This place was a beautiful spacious retreat at the end of each busy day of exploring Edinburgh and its surrounds. We were 2 couples on a 4 week tour around Scotland.. Whilst a little way out from the city the Pay and Ride option just a few kilometers away made it easy to get to the city Centre. The pay off was a tranquil and idyllic country/farm setting. The place was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and well equipped. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone planning to visit Edinburgh.. Thank you Christine ..

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 location was perfect. It was in the less crowded west end area and less than a block to the bus stop (which we highly recommend figuring out the system so you can get around quicker). However, you can also walk to old town in 15-20 minutes time. There are many good restaurants and groceries within walking distance. The attached garage was an awesome perk since this was a stop for us in our long road trip.

We stayed for the month of May and Jenny’s place was so handy to bus stop just outside the yard and train station was a 20 minute walk. Linlithgow is a charming place and a great base for exploring Scotland. Thank you Jenny and Steve!

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.

Marvelours placenta to stay!

What can we say? Ceilidh (and Ada) are the best superhosts we stay with. This was our 2nd visit and our honeymoon, travelling from Gretna Green in the morning. She made our very special weekend even more so, attention to detail goes above and beyond. I would highly recommend and anytime we are visiting Edinburgh we will always try and reserve Ceilidh’s place.

Mike and Pauline were very responsible and we didn't have to wait for anything we needed. Nice historical home. very comfortable.

We had a great stay and loved the cozy home-base in Edinburgh :) its a great walk (or run!) through the Meadows and Links to get to the city center and easily reachable by car or public transport. The home has all you need and whenever you need anything, Claire's quick and friendly to help!

Great place in Edinburgh! It is a little ways from the main downtown but that’s a good thing since the royal mile is way too crowded, loud and crazy. There are restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store super close. The apartment is spacious, beautiful and comfortable!

Very responsive and helpful host. Super accommodation to a high standard. Very quiet with good access to places. Good local facilities - restaurants and local supermarket. Would definitely recommend. Hope to return.

We felt at home, everything needed for a comfortable stay. Very quiet area. City buses to downtown in short walking distance: 23, 36. Washer and dryer very helpful. I would stay again when visiting Edinburgh.

The apartment was in a prime location and was the perfect space for our 4 days in Edinburgh. It was clean, spacious, and had everything we could have needed during our stay. Martin was a wonderful host who took the time to show us how things worked as well as some history about Edinburgh itself. He gave us such great restaurant recommendations (Under the Stairs and Ghurka, both which were amazing) as well as recommendation on activities and places to visit. He helped convince us that St. Andrew’s was worth the trip and told us how to get there using public transportation. He could not have been nicer and his recommendations made our trip that much more special. Would absolutely stay here again when visiting Edinburgh. Thank you, Martin!

Jack's place is just 3-4 mins from the bus stop. His house is well-maintained and cleaned. In the kitchen, there are already plenty of spices, milk in the fridge, and drinks on the dining table available. I loved this place and recommend it for those who would like to explore Edinburgh.

We really enjoyed our stay at this flat. The building and the street are very quiet. This flat is located in a very charming neighborhood. It is walkable to great restaurants, a grocery store, and bus transportation. We enjoyed using the local bus to take the very short rides to all of the places to see. We left the flat in the morning and didn’t return until the evenings as there is so much to do and see. The flat itself was clean, comfortable, and had so many conveniences including a fully stocked kitchen with everything you’d need, a clothes washer and dryer, hairdryer, dishwasher, and plenty of room for our family of four (including two young adults). We recommend this flat and we’d definitely stay here again.

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.

Hidden gem. Surprisingly quiet and peaceful, being situated in the middle of the park (yet still in town). Lovely home, spacious. Host is super responsive to questions. Easy walk to a pub for some great food and drinks.

We spent two nights at The Butler's Basement for my husband's birthday and it was an ideal base. We did have an issue getting in as the lockbox didn't work, but her son came down and resolved the issue. The apartment was very clean and in a great area - some lovely bars and restaurants that we preferred to spend time in, more than the busier side of Edinburgh. Gemma was very responsive to my messages and we also had a bottle of fizz in the fridge as well as some short bread and chocolate. It might be an idea to put a small bottle of milk in the fridge, as we did have tea and coffee provided but didn't want to buy a whole pint of milk to make a couple of drinks. However it certainly wasn't an issue that would stop us staying again!

Quirky place with loads of space and character. Very clean and well set up too. The arrangements for key collection were very convenient and Alec who let us in and showed us round could not have been nicer or more helpful. We felt we had had an experience, rather than just an overnight stay. The building itself is a real one-off and has the look of a fairytale castle. Would recommend highly.

We really loved our stay at Roy’s place! Roy and Selena were super nice and helpful. The apartment was very clean and bright and we loved the vinyl collection. It was right next to a bus stop that has frequent buses to the city centre.

We absolutely loved everything about this place, I can confidently say that Jock is the best host ever. He welcomed us with a basket full of scotish snacks that we enjoyed so much. He was very helpful and if we needed anything he was always active and ready to answer our questions. I can 100% recommend this place. Haymarket or West end tram stations are very close by, to go to old town you have only one station from West end. Or you can even walk from the apartment which we often did (15-20 min walking) and you're just at the heart of the city. Thank you a million times Jock for everything, We look forward to come back again.
