Family-friendly holiday rentals in Shandon, Edinburgh

Great location. Clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds. Only short walk to grass market area, where there are plenty of bars and restaurants.

Awesome cottage in a wonderful area, full of animals closeby! Highly recommend!!

We stayed 2 nights at the beginning of our vacation in Scotland. The location was perfect for walking to all the best spots in Edinburgh. Michelle was the person I communicated with upon arrival, she was extremely helpful and very prompt in returning my texts. I would definitely recommend this rental.

Enjoyed our stay at such a creative and beautiful airbnb. It was a new experiencefor us staying in the countryside enjoying the sunset, BBQ, bathtub and feeding the animals. Sandy was a great host. She showed us around and helped us alot with our transportation. Much appreciation.

I absolutely loved this serene little guesthouse tucked away just outside of Edinburgh. It was very nice, clean, and functional for our family group. It was easy to navigate from there to surrounding areas by car. Ali was so personable and friendly! Truly a pleasure to stay here, and we would gladly stay again!

Lovely views of the countryside, great location and beautiful accommodation altogether. Host is extremely helpful and on point.

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.

Great place to stay, everything was clean and comfy. Lots of room, nice hot tub with a great view over the town. Lots of horses on site which adds a cool element to your stay. Good size kitchen and living room. Highly recommended.

Had a wonderful time at Hanne’s place! Location was pretty unbeatable - it may look a bit far from the centre on Google, but it’s really only a 15 minute walk and it’s WORTH IT to be in Stockbridge. Everything was clean and the beds were very comfy!

Our stay at Roland’s Airbnb was an absolute delight! The location was perfect - incredibly walkable to all the tourist spots. The bed was super comfortable and the space was very cozy. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

We loved staying in Dan and Alex's home! It had everything you could possibly need, spotlessly clean, tidy, loads if linen, towels etc. And the views from the lounge and kitchen windows were absolutely spectacular!! Also the WiFi and tv were excellent! Lovely walks along the beach and surrounding areas and beautiful sunsets! Also the town had good local shops and the locals were extremely friendly. If you needed a big shop, Kirkaldy was only just over 2 miles away with a large Morrisons and a Lidls across the road plus an Aldi's about a mile further on. The Kinghorn fish & chip shop directly up the hill from Barton Buildings was excellent, very reasonable and friendly staff! All in all, we'd definitely go back to Kinghorn and would recommend Dan and Alex's flat to everyone!!

A home away from home ❤️ The house was lovely, beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. I was travelling with parents and a small child - so split levels meant everyone could have their own space and a big communal area on the ground floor which was perfect for us all. Location was great. A short cab ride into town, but walkable too. Close by to Arthur’s Seat, which is a must to do while in Edinburgh. Karen and Carina are amazing hosts, very responsive and went above and beyond for us. Would highly recommend! Thank you.

I have no word that truly captures this place. It is centrally located for folks who want to explore the highlands, lowlands and anywhere in between. The home was SO cozy and Maggie welcomed us like family, sharing her local knowledge of the best places to visit, great scenic routes to get there, and absolutely THE best restaurants around. The home had comfy bedding, a cozy living room complete with wood burning stove for those chilly nights, and a oversized tub to soak away the day. Maggie even had milk and orange juice in the refrigerator waiting for our coffee and tea. The scenery is second to none, surrounded by picturesque hills and a view of the Loch. I could stay here forever.

Craig and Holly were extremely responsive and went above and beyond. They even ordered us a second booster seat highchair for our two babies. They had a healthy supply of toys for the children, and the house was very baby proof. The flat is beautiful, close to everything (pubs and restuarants), and just overall so peacefully to be in. It hosted 7 adults and two children very comfortably. Each room was very soundproof so it made it feel like each couple in each room could truly retreat into their own space. Overall, just a great a great experience overall with the hosts, the space and location.

We had an amazing stay at Eleanor’s place! The house was spotless, incredibly comfortable, and equipped with everything we could possibly need — the facilities were top-notch. Eleanor was a fantastic host, even kindly waiting up for us after our very late arrival. Highly recommend staying here — we’d love to come back!

Anna‘s place is located in a very quiet neighborhood, but close walking distance to Grass Market and the Royal Mile. It felt very homey and extremely spacious. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Even though there was a slight unpleasant musty odor coming from the shower drain, it did not dampen our visit here and the odor remained only in that room. Everything else was super clean and wonderful. I would definitely stay here again.

What a lovely stay, everything we needed was at hand, there were no worries for the whole duration of our stay, deffo come back with these guys

This apartment was perfect for our family of 8. Great location with many restaurants in the area. Easy access to bus service for city center. Facilities had everything we needed. Perfect place.

Lovely host, very amenable and flexible. I booked for one day and ended up booking another day because of the place and surroundings. The host went out of her way to get me refunded the extra days cleaning fee. Would definitely recommend. Only had one bad point which is there was a spiderweb above the bed. Overall lovely host, lovely home, and beautiful area with lots to do and explore.

Absolutely beautiful, well-appointed flat. Fits all the of the amenities you could want into a lovely space that is walkable to different parts of the city. Would absolutely stay again!

Karin's place was great. It was right off the Royal Mile near Holyrood Palace and Arthur's Seat. It was walkable to everything. Well stocked kitchen, lots of restaurants and coffee shops, and we really appreciated the washer/dryer!

The place is very clean, beautiful and cosy! There is a nice ocean view. The kitchen amenities are very complete and clean, and the hosts know what the guests need. Would come back again!
