Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Newington

Natalie was a great help over our stay - providing useful local advice for walks and responding very quickly when needed! Her place has the most amazing views and perfect for a little getaway with friends.

The perfect hub for a trip to Edinburgh, tucked away in a peaceful and private location but a just few minutes walk from local shops, restaurants and transport links. Di is a very friendly and helpful host, with great local info and tips on how to make the most of the city. The photos don't do the house justice to be honest, it's very high spec and beautifully decorated throughout. Easy place to find and the parking is a huge bonus. Highly recommended.

Wonderful home from home. First time we’ve had to bring our doggy along and Paul’s place was perfect. Obviously the surrounding area is the most beautiful. We were visiting for a family event so the location was perfect. House was spotless, easy to access, had everything we needed and was very welcoming. Really hope we can stay again. Thanks Paul

We found the house very clean and comfortable. excellent location, central to everything we needed. Nice welcome hamper.

Laura was always super accessible, gave many good tips! We felt immediately comfortable in the house, it was great! thank you so much Laura 🥰🙏🏼

Would get six stars if they could control the weather. Great place, bus stop across the road for access to Edinburgh city. Great for family, thanks for the coffee.

Second time we have stayed here and again it met all our expectations

Jamie was friendly and responsive which helped a lot. clear check in instructions and clean space.

What a cosy, cheerful place to come back to after our days exploring Edinburgh. Ross met us at check-in and helped us to get up the stairs with our bags. Super responsive and always available when we had questions. Ross checked in on us multiple times throughout the stay as well. The bed was really comfortable and everything really easy to keep warm while we were there over a very icy new years! Great to have the space of separate kitchen and living rooms. Bathroom very compact but well-equipped. Kitchen and pantry super well-stocked, everything we could need to prep our own food when we wanted. Location is not the fanciest in the city but super accessible for buses with a stop just a couple of minutes walk away. 10min walk up to the Royal Mile and about 20min to the Castle. Ross was an incredible host, so friendly, warm, and helpful with so many recommendations for places to eat and visit. Would absolutely recommend.

We had an amazing 3-night stay at this Airbnb! The location is fantastic—perfect for exploring the old town. It’s just about 25 minutes by tram or bus to Edinburgh Castle, and only a 10-minute taxi ride, making it super convenient for sightseeing. The house itself is incredibly family-friendly, with lots of toys and books to keep the kids entertained. The fully furnished kitchen was a huge bonus—everything from the cooker, oven, and microwave worked perfectly, making it easy to prepare meals during our stay. The host has really thought of everything to make guests feel at home, and we truly enjoyed our time here. I’ve already recommended this place to friends and family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

My mum and I had an amazing stay here over Christmas! The place was so homely and cozy. Daniel had set it up wonderfully with Christmas decorations to make it feel like home, and had provided milk, juice and snacks. It was super easy to check in and the place was very clean and tidy and spacious. Easy walking distance to both the new and old town areas, we didn’t need to catch public transport once. Daniel was great with communication before and during, and very helpful with recommendations. We had a wonderful stay, thank you so much!!

We loved our stay! It was the perfect location near many restaurants and very close to the Haymarket train station. We used the tram a lot while we were there and it was so easy! The place was beautiful and really clean (spotless). Also, we got there after dark and were thrilled when we opened the bedroom shutters and saw the gorgeous view! We would highly recommend a stay here.

Clean and such as described, Got all essentials we needed. Felt like home, great location near public transport easy to reach city centre or airport.

We recently stayed at this lovely Airbnb in Edinburgh over the Christmas holidays. The location was perfect—just a short walk to several convenient bus stops, making it easy to explore the city and enjoy its festive charm. The host was responsive and welcoming, ensuring we had everything we needed for a relaxing holiday. There is also a fantastic restaurant right on the corner. It offered a delightful menu, which we thoroughly enjoyed after a day of sightseeing. Overall, this was a wonderful place to spend Christmas, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cozy and convenient base in Edinburgh. Would definitely stay here again.

Absolutely fabulous!! Beautiful apartment. Great location. Very clean. Very warm. Beds were comfortable. The host was responsive. Lovely location. Great value for money. We will return.

Amazing place to stay and we feel at home. Carla house has everything you need for simple cooking which is very convenient for family with kids. Love it 😊

We booked the flat for a few days for my Dad to stay over Christmas. The flat was ideal, Craig had left a few Christmas treats, which was really appreciated. The flat was spotless and my Dad felt right at home. We will definitely book again!

Lovely stay with family, great location just a 15 minute walk into the city. The apartment had everything you needed. Looking forward to going back in the summer.

Fantastic dwelling, great location and excellent hosts. We will definitely look to return to Edinburgh in the future and seek this residence as well as highly recommending it to our friends and family. Our hosts Mark and Dayna were wonderful especially with their wonderful gesture of allowing us to stay an extra night, free of charge, due to The Hogmanay Festival being cancelled. Thank you again. Nevertheless a wonderful visit to Edinburgh underpinned by an excellent apartment and generous hosts.

Great Location. Actual better than the images. Cozy. Walking distance to attraction places. Infront a Big Shopping Mall. Prompt response. Clean.

We stayed here as a family with 3 children for New Years and it was a perfect stay! Although it was stormy weather, Lee's home was very cosy and warm and homely. Very comfortable beds too so we all slept amazingly! I would 100% recommend staying here. very spacious property, easy to find and also a short distance from Ingliston park and ride for a convenient day out in Edinburgh! Thanks so much 🙏🏻

A perfect location within easy walking distance to the golf club, Gullane beach and local pubs and eateries. The apartment was extremely clean and has been maintained to a high & modern standard.

Well appointed and made for a very comfortable and pleasant stay!

Sue was extremely helpful, allowing us an earlier check in, the apartment was warm, spacious & super comfy! It had everything we needed & was great to relax in. The neighbourhood was peaceful & safe feeling. Quick bus ride of 10 mins to the city centre, would definitely 100% return when in Edinburgh- too easy!!!
