I booked accommodation last minute and it was a fantastic air bnb it was bright airy and spacious with the added extra of a hotub in rhe garden which my boy and took advantage of . We took a quick train into Edinburgh which only took 15 mins which was ideal . Spent the day there with all the hustle and bustle that goes with a city then back to the house which was nice and peaceful . All in all we had a cracking experience form start to finish . I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this air bnb to anyone who would want a pleaseant stay on the out skirts of Edinburgh . Thanks again scott for helping us at such short notice .

Claire’s place was exactly what it looks like in the pictures. It is her home, so it is not clinical and soulless; it is homely and welcoming. It was spotlessly clean. Entry instructions were super clear. Claire was extremely helpful with bus/train details to get in and out of the city. There are tonnes of restaurants and coffee shops along Portobello High Street and also down onto the promenade. Being so close to the beach was an absolute joy - and The Beach House about a 10minute walk away did a terrific breakfast and lunch. Would totally recommend Portobello as a location and Claire’s place offered everything we needed.

I recently had a wonderful stay at Gary's house and wanted to share my experience. The place was impeccably clean and tidy, making it a comfortable retreat. I appreciated how well-equipped it was, with everything I needed readily available. Additionally, having parking available was a significant bonus. I will definitely look to stay here again during my next visit to Edinburgh! Highly recommended!

Melissa was a friendly, helpful and very responsive host. The house was exactly want we wanted and expected. The place was also spotless. The rooms were all good sizes and the bathroom was modern and had a really nice shower (with a bath for the kids) l. The location was great for our little family that wanted space in the evenings but happy to travel a bit to get into Edinburgh, we found the short drive to Kirkcaldy where we could park at the station and get a train directly into central Edinburgh worked perfectly for us. Or you could use as a base for driving to different parts of Scotland. I wish we had time to look at the local area some more as it's near a coastal path. I would definitely come again and recommend to others.

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.

Absolutely stunning! We spent 4 nights at Jacqui’s and had the most amazing stay, the cottage was beautifully presented and so spacious and the outlook was breathtaking! Close to Edinburgh but out of the city enough to be so peaceful, we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Jacqui for the great stay, if we are ever back in Scotland we will definitely book again. 😊

We had a great experience in Edinburgh, the house is beautiful, clear and comfortable. Ben and his team are very friendly, and always give us a great support. I would recommend who plans to visit Edinburgh and stay in here.

We give the Water Tower 10 stars! Susan is remarkable! She has clearly thought lovingly of every detail of one’s stay, with great care and attention. What a rich experience! She and Gerry are warm, welcoming, generous and engaging, and yet also sensitive and respectful of individual needs for privacy. We felt so fortunate to be able to stay at their place and to get to know them a little bit! The fridge was stocked with milk, spreads, fresh fruit and a welcome bottle of wine, the cupboards with biscuits and homemade bread and muffins. Plenty of teas and coffees. A pleasing array of soaps and lotions and toiletries. Gerry’s beautiful paintings line the walls of the Tower, as well as the plans for the renovation, as he is the architect who brought this magical spot to life. Susan, a fine biologist, shared her gardening expertise , and we were happy to tour with her. Truly, we could not have felt more welcomed, nor more cared for. They went above and beyond. We are happy and grateful!

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.

We would highly recommend this place for couples. it is located a little way out of the town so a car is needed. The apartment is very spacious clean and well appointed. We were very warm and comfortable. The kitchen is fully equipped and we enjoyed the peaceful surrounds of farm lands.

Great place, great location and great host. The cafe below is very good too :)

Very clean and welcoming, bathroom smelled of bleach when we walked in, love that

Great location, with easy parking in front of the property. It’s pay and display before 17:00. Scott was super helpful and friendly. With responses super quick. Check in was easy with a lock box. The place is stunning. The photos really didn’t do it justice. Super homey. The location is super nice right on the beach and just a short walk to a shop if anything needed. Would 100% recommend.

The apartment was lovely—well-decorated, even. The beds were amazing, the location was just a little outside the city and that was great. For other guests—unless you want to take long drives, a rental car is not needed. Uber was super fast and very affordable. There is parking, which we found out is exceedingly rare in the city. Would absolutely stay here again!

it was right on the main drag, easy to find and close to lots to do. It was very secure in that you needed a code to enter the first door off the street and then a code to get into your apartment. The apartment was very nice and enjoyable. The view of the castle from our window was great! The host was very accessible. We would return! Thanks,

Lovely Airbnb, perfect location for exploring the Scottish cost with good transport links into Edinburgh. Gullane was lovely and had plenty to do in too, would definitely recommend!

As a Fifer, it’s always nice to come back and stay. Craigs place was easy to find, spacious and spotlessly clean, and Burntisland is a lovely town. I would certainly stay at Craigs again.

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.

Could not rate this property high enough!!The communications were clear, proactive, friendly and very helpful. The place was spotless, spacious and very tastefully decorated. The view was spectacular of the water. Beds and couches were comfy. The guide for local attractions and restaurants was extremely helpful. Would definitely stay there 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.

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.

Highly recommend Tara's place! It was a very clean, well-equipped home during our two day stay. She was easy to find and provided much info on the area and our home which gave us great comfort and independence during our stay. Check in and out was very easy and Tara was a very good communicator. We enjoyed our stay, and Tara, very much and highly recommend her place.

We had a wonderful stay here and would definitely return. The location is perfect - with the sea just across the road, very close to the pier/harbour area and a couple of minutes from the end of the high street. North Berwick is a lovely little town, perfect for a short break, and was particularly good for our needs with a wheelchair user / someone with mobility issues. Would highly recommend both North Berwick and this accommodation.

It was really something special to stay at Kinghorn Town Hall. The accommodation is just as beautiful as in the photos and even after a few days just as impressive as at the beginning. Kinghorn is a cute little town, right by the sea and with a few stores and a delicious bagel café. We found it a great base for exploring the surrounding countryside as well as going to Edinburgh (also good access by train). We would love to come back someday.
