Balass House Stables Cottage Nr St Andrews
A very cosy, comfortable cottage with well considered, stylish touches that made it a thoroughly delightful place to stay. The beds were very comfortable, with thick toppers, plentiful pillows and luxurious bedding. There was plenty of hot water, and a good shower. Susan was welcoming and proactively helpful - both in providing additional cookware for a particular recipe I wanted to make, and in sourcing a new firestick for the TV so we could access Netflix. All in all, a lovely and peaceful haven for our mini-break in Scotland.

Lauriston Park
great host with a great place. would highly recommend

Time - 5* Countryside Escape with Hot Tub
A fantastic family stay at this wonderful barn conversion. We couldn’t have asked for more. The location is great,just a few miles outside the main town of Galashields (which has everything in it….and some great delivery services) The property was spacious and catered for our needs and our wheelchair user. The hot tub is the icing on the cake,peaceful and tranquil at any time of the day. We would love to return in the future.

3 BED CENTRAL LUXURY WITH JACUZZI
Lovely spot in a really great location. Check in was very easy, the apartment is very clean and has everything you could need. Can highly recommend.

The Bus Stop - Luxury Double Decker
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.

Thimblewynd :Cozy cottage with retro Dutch Tub
An absolutely charming place! We stayed one night and were smitten from as soon as we checked in. The loveliest little touches in the interior, from the record player to the board games and books, and oh, what a beautiful garden and outdoor experience to behold! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience

Barnyards - 4 bedroom, country house with hot tub.
Fantastic house, amazing views, lots of space and lovely to be on a farm. Great walk up largo law and lots to do to close by, only a short car journey to get to each location.

Kennels Cottage, The Yair
Just had a 4 night stay. Place was lovely and peaceful. Location is in the countryside so be prepared to travel 10mins for milk but well worth it for the peace and quiet. Hot hob an added bonus. Lots of walks to do around the grounds too. We had two kids with us and was totally fine for them as well.

Incredibly central 18th c 3bdr flat
Great location, near to every interesting point without using a bus. Nice flat and we were happy to stay there

Gorgeous central 3 bed house free parking & garden
I stayed at this wonderful property for a few days right after getting married, kicking off my honeymoon while also showing my new in-laws some of the best parts of the UK. The entire family had a great time here—it’s clean, very spacious, and truly felt like home. We did run into a minor issue with a bathroom leak (a bit of bad luck on my part, I suppose), but the host was incredibly responsive and did everything they could to resolve it quickly. I really appreciate how it was handled and am grateful for the prompt attention. Overall, I highly recommend this lovely property. If I’m ever in Edinburgh again with family or friends, I’d definitely check if this place is available before considering other options in the Old Town area. A big thank you to the superhosts for your kindness, patience, and excellent communication in making sure everything went smoothly during our stay. 🙏🙏♥️

Big and Beautiful apartment, Leith
Beautiful big flat in a great location in Leith, which we love. Lots of restaurants, pubs, bakeries and the park. Very close to the tram, which makes city centre and the airport very easy. Had everything we needed for a great stay thanks.

Gorgeous Boutique Coastal Apartment Near Edinburgh
Absolutely lovely place to stay. 2 lady professionals traveling for work and this was a fabulous stop over. Quiet, super comfortable, safe and a lovely welcome hamper on arrival: Highly recommend. There is a lovely beach/woodland walk to stretch weary car travelled legs as well. Thanks Julie - hope to be back one day

Free Private Parking: Holyroodhouse Palace Apt.
The location is amazing — perfect for exploring the city. The place was very clean, exactly as described, and the host communicated well. We did have one hiccup: there were only two towels provided, even though there were three of us, so we had to share, which wasn’t ideal. Also, like other reviews mentioned, the bed is very noisy. I figured it couldn’t be that bad since I don’t move much when I sleep, but even the slightest movement made noise. Other than that, we had a good stay and really enjoyed the home and the area. I would give it 4.5 stars because 5 means perfect, and the bed and towel issues weren't so great.

Large Comfortable House
What an incredible house in a beautiful neighborhood. The house is so well equipped and so clean. Lots of cereals, cookies, tea and coffee to make our stay even more perfect. The backyard was a bonus with the children. Great location too for public transportation, very easy to go anywhere. Ronnie was so responsive and so accommodating. Many thanks!

Private Entrance, City Centre, Apartment.
Fantastic 3 nights at Anna’s. The apartment is perfectly situated, just a short 7 minute walk to the castle. Lots of good restaurants and a fantastic park for kids and our dog down the way. Anna was super accommodating and flexible to our needs with kids. Great stay, would highly recommend for families and those wanting a well-situated apartment within just a short walk from the buzz of Edinburgh!

4 Bedroom City Centre Penthouse Sleeps 8
Absolutely beautiful apartment in a great location. Well equipped, comfortable and very spacious. Chris was extremely communicative, helpful, and generous, leaving us a welcome pack in the kitchen. Highly recommended for a group of adults.

Studio Apartment with Seaview, Pitmilly
We had an enjoyable weekend break in the Lookout at Pitmilly. Excellent standard of accommodation and facilities and a wonderful setting, convenient for exploring the Fife coast. Would highly recommend.

51 18 Caledonian Crescent
The apartment is really bright and spacious and tastefully decorated. The living area and kitchen are perfect. The apartment has everything you need including a washing machine and dryer. Audrey explained everything very clearly to us when we arrived to drop off our luggage (the owners facilitated an early drop off before 4pm). In terms of improvements, the water boiler is quite noisy so if someone used the bathroom late, it could wake other guests. We would have appreciated shampoo in the bathroom - some of our party flew with hand luggage only with a small liquids allowance. We enjoyed our stay and it was convenient for the EICC, a 10-15 minute walk. The welcome breakfast pack was a nice touch. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, including Napoli-themed Pizzeria 1926 with delicious pizzas!

Flat in listed mill with indoor pool
A location with an interesting history; just a few minutes walk (beside the river) from Dunblane’s centre but tranquil, comfortable and secluded. Perfect to visit the surrounding area but also an easy train journey to Stirling and Edinburgh for the sights.

Setons Getaway
Clean, well looked after and easy to find

Priscilla, Queen of the Caravans @ Seton Sands
Had a wonderful stay with my family at Priscilla, would definitely recommend Priscilla. Dianne was great and friendly with communication. My Kids loved it and would love to visit again.

Garden Studio Apartment at Pitmilly, nr St Andrews
We had a lovely week at Morton of Pilmilly. The staff are very helpful. The accommodation is first class, very clean and comfortable. Thank you Morton of Plimilly
