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.

Myself and 2 friends just had a brilliant weekend at Dawn and Darren’s cottage. They were very friendly and welcoming hosts. The cottage was perfect for what we needed, the decor was lovely and we’ll definitely be back for another stay. Hopefully later this year! Thank you Dawn and Darren.

Was very happy with our stay here, The evening with the hot tub was lovely and private, everything was clean and well presented. There was games left in the house for our use and we got use of these. The instructions before arriving to find location was helpful although the postcode in Apple Maps did take us straight the correct location which was great. Overall we were very pleased with the whole experience and would stay again. The added bonus was the hosts had a new puppy and we got to meet this beautiful fur baby on checkout.

We loved our stay in the waterfall cottage! It was a perfect place for our newlywed destination to kick off our honeymoon. The view is stunning and we loved drinking our morning coffee in the back porch taking it all in. The inside is very cozy and we cooked many meals in the kitchen which was well appointed. There are other lodgings directly adjacent to the property but fortunately were all vacant otherwise it would have been less private than expected. This is listed as a detached cottage, but a wall is directly shared with a cottage next door technically making this a duplex. A bit misleading but all good since it was vacant for our stay. Nina was responsive to all our questions which we appreciated. We loved Loch Tay, the Crannog Center, and Aberfeldy nearby. While there are no direct signs to get to the lochside, there are paths down to the loch through the gate or nearby boathouse lodge entrance from the road to walk down to see the water.

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.

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

We really enjoyed our 5 night stay at Ardormie farm cottage. The views are amazing and the cottage itself is lovely. Everything was perfect and comfortable. we really enjoyed being surrounded by sheep and on occasion wild red dear and birds of prey. the bed was very comfortable and the whole house was quiet and peacefull. would happily recommend Ardormie and would gladly stay here again.

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

The Nook is an absolute gem and a must stay if you're planning a trip to Northumberland! Very well located for all the things you'd want to do or see! The place is absolutely immaculate and is furnished to a very high standard, if anything the photos don't do it justice! Amazing kitchen and bathroom and a very cozy log burner, with a very sizable comfy bed! Would definitely stay again if we're in the area!

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!

Nothing short of amazing! A nature lover’s paradise (even with the Scottish weather). Got dry weather for an hour one morning haha so had a lovely breakfast in the garden. Met two tiny (literally newborn) lambs in the field next to us! All wobbly on their feet. So cute!! Friendly hosts, very clean and well decorated.

We had a very restful and relaxing stay at Jo's house for three weeks. The farm is in a stunning location with lots of beautiful walks from the door and lots to see in the locality with a host of good recommendations in the information pack supplied by Jo. The house was comfortable and had pretty much all one might need for longer stay. The weather was glorious throughout our stay which was very welcomed.

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 came to Edinburgh for the marathon and stayed at Gregor’s lovely Airbnb– about 40 minutes from the city centre. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind after the race. The host was fantastic, with great communication and clear directions that made everything seamless. The home itself was spotless, well-equipped, and much more spacious than the pictures suggest. The garden was a real highlight, beautifully kept with stunning views of the surrounding countryside and our pooches loved it! A peaceful, comfortable retreat that truly felt like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

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!

Duncan's place provided the perfect ending to our holiday. The cottage was spacious, yet cozy, with everything we needed for a comfortable, two-night stay. Moreover, Duncan was available upon arrival to go over everything and offered information about sites to see in the area. He also let us know about the local train station that easily took us to Edinburgh so we could avoid the traffic mess. Lastly, he brought me some history books about the castles and estates, as I expressed an interest. We truly enjoyed pur stay and hope to visit again in the future!

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!

The cottage is well situated, easily walkable to local amenities. The kitchen is well equipped if eating in rather than dining out. The off-road parking is great for smaller cars but would have been a challenge if we had taken our estate car - narrow one-way street and tight turn. The cottage has an out building which has good sea views and provides shelter on those blustery and damp days. We are looking forward to a future return visit.

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.

Airbnb was located 30 mins drive outside of Edinburgh which was ideal for our trip. The Airbnb was immaculate and exactly as described. Host provided bagels, tea, coffee and milk for our stay which was a lovely touch.
