Cottage rentals with a hot tub

Rose Cottage, Williamscraig, Linlithgow
Awesome cottage in a wonderful area, full of animals closeby! Highly recommend!!

Luxury one-bedroom cottage ŵ outdoor bath & views
Had the most relaxing time at the Banchory Farm. The cottage is absolutely stunning the surrounding is peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely come back!

Coastal cottage with stunning view.
We had a wonderful stay with my family at this historic cottage. Especially loved the easy access to the Fife Coastal Path that we walked daily into Burntisland or Aberdour. Excellent hosts as well. Thank you for your hospitality, we would highly recommend this property!

Broomrigg Farmhouse
Great place to stay. Will definitely use again if working in the area. Thanks!

Distillers Cottage
A tranquil and peaceful stay in this spacious and well equipped cottage. We were well looked after by Jenny and co. and felt totally relaxed. Enjoyed our interactions with farm life, which included birthing a lamb, petting the donkies and seeing the newborn kittens, it made our stay very special. The house is well located for trips into Edinburgh and Glasgow, or to enjoy nearby countryside. You won't regret it!

Appletree Cottage, Williamscraig, Linlithgow
We had a lovely few days, staying at Appletree Cottage, with our two grandchildren aged 6 and 3. The cottage was very comfy and well equipped, and ideally suited our needs. Good location for many attractions such as Blair Drummond Safari Park, Falkirk Wheel and the Kelpies. We were lucky to have good weather so the excellent play area and hot tub were much enjoyed each day. Would definitely recommend booking.

Pentland Pod
We had a wonderful stay for our mini moon!! Our hosts where friendly and helpful we invited them for a drink with us it was fantastic knowing how they designed the place and their lives and points of interest for us to look out for. We enjoyed the hot tub so much and using the BBQ!! Was tidy and comfortable perfect for a couples get away. I highly recommend staying here the bus stop was just a minute walk from the front door and so close to Edinburgh!!

Woodland Pod
Brilliant stay with lovely hosts and amazing facilities. So welcoming and helpful, made it the perfect stay.

Cosy Edinburgh cottage, near Portobello beach
We had a lovely stay. Portobello is a great base from which to explore Edinburgh. We are a family of four and found the accommodations to be perfect for us. Very quiet neighborhood with many shops and restaurants within walking distance. Highly recommended!

Drumbank Cottage* - Sleeps 4
A quaint cottage in which to stay while we visited the Edinburgh area. Super-easy to get to by car. A small corner grocery store is just a few hundred metres away. But the bonus was having sheep show up outside our back window one evening! Also, there is lots of area on the property to go for a walk, including up to the stables that are nearby. Highly recommended!

Tigh Nam Muc
Tigh Nam Muc is a beautifully decorated cottage with all the required amenities and very comfortable beds. It is ideal for trips into Edinburgh...would recommend the park and ride as parking fairly limited in the city centre. We enjoyed Portobello, the National Museum of Scotland, Dalkeith Country Park and Edinburgh zoo. Although not far from Edinburgh, it felt peaceful and quiet. Ideal for families like ours (toddler and a 4 month old!) Sue was very responsive and helpful. Would stay again and recommend to others.

Pine Cottage was wonderfully comfortable. The cottage which is on a gorgeous golf course is very clean and well equipped. I would stay there every time I’m in Edinburgh if I could. We loved it!

1 Bed in Winchburgh (95472)
Lovely hosts, they were always quick to respond to any questions I had. It was a quiet and cosy place to stay which stayed warm despite us staying in winter. Would recommend to others.

Gardener's Cottage* - Sleeps 3
Beautiful place in a quiet, rural, idyllic, setting yet only twenty minutes away from the City by bus. Light, spacious and super clean.

Forth Reflections
Such a lovely place, the house is in a unique position a little above the main street and the views are exceptional. South Queensferry is a pretty little town with lots of restaurants, pubs and independent shops plus easy to get into Edinburgh (car, train, bus). The house is so well thought through, clean, tidy and cleverly makes the most of the space. A really special place to spend your break.

6 Bed in South Queensferry (94359)
It’s an absolutely fantastic place to stay! Situated on an equestrian estate, it’s beautiful! It’s also close enough to town to get the essentials and hit a restaurant if you’d like. Also very close to the Edinburgh airport. The house was even better than described, very spacious, comfortable and well appointed. Having the game room was very nice, and the eat-in kitchen was very roomy and provided a great hang out spot for our group of 7. The hot tub was a nice bonus and felt relaxing on some cool nights in early June. Having 2 en-suites is a nice benefit for larger groups and made it more comfortable. We wish we had more time to stay there, but our vacation was split as far as locations, but all 7 of us agreed we would have rather stayed at this property for our entire vacation and could consider making this area a destination to go back just to enjoy this property again!

3 Bed in Edinburgh (79008)
Very comfortable, great location, and smooth check-in process - would stay again!

The Hayloft
Very lovely cottage in beautiful countryside, stunning views from the garden. Cosy, lots of character, attractive contemporary interior, good bathroom and en-suite loo. We didn’t see much of the hosts (family wedding, hectic itinerary) however pre-arrival communications were friendly, helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again.

1 Bed in Stockbridge (E1887)
Perfect position in the beautiful Stockbridge, highly recommended

Whitehouse Studio
Booked this for my dad, mum, aunty and uncle for their adventure in Scotland and they said it was very lovely lace to stay, comfortable, pretty, and the host was lovely.

Harbour Hill Cottage
What a beautiful spot! Very quiet. We all slept very well! Wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate the beautiful surroundings. It is a little remote so if you don’t have a car (which we didn’t) may end up being a little expensive going in and out of Edinburgh, but we always got an Uber when we wanted one. Perfect for walkers and cyclists. Wish we had time to explore the area more. We may be back! Thanks, Kerry!

Quaint self contained cottage near Edinburgh.
Possibly the best all-around AirBnB in which we have ever stayed. Lovely, comfortable decor. Immaculately clean. New finishes but still maintains a classic look. Wonderful private garden for the cottage. Amazing grounds landscaping means a view out every window. Good location for going into Edinburgh or quickly getting to local attractions. Roslynn Chapel just minutes away. Very responsive and friendly host. This one is a gem!

Artist Colony Garden Cottage | Walk to city centre
We had a great stay! The instructions were clear and we had no trouble getting into the apartment. When we arrived we were pleased to see a book of local recommendations. The area is very quiet and private, but also a quick walk or very easy bus ride into the city center. We really enjoyed using it as a jumping off point to explore Edinburgh.

Cosy tranquility fab location
The apartment is very cozy and modern at the same time, everything is very clean and well maintained. We were very happy about coffee, tea, wine and a few snacks to welcome us. Russell got back to us quickly with questions, the contact was very friendly and uncomplicated. The apartment is located in a really very nice and quiet area. We like to walk and have always taken a walk to the center of the city. We often used the bus for the return trip, which runs regularly. With an Uber, the trip only took 12 minutes. The bay and the harbor are nearby, and we quickly discovered our favorite place there with great Scottish food and super friendly service. Everything was wonderful for us.
