House vacation rentals in Lothian

We had a fantastic weekend staying here to celebrate my best friend. The house is gorgeous with so much space! The photos do not do it justice! There was a lovely pool and hot tub. Sarah came by to make sure we’d settled in and was available if we needed anything. We’d even got a later check out which was a great bonus. Everyone had a great time! I will definitely recommend booking The Granary! I would love to come back for another trip. Sarah had also left us a bottle of Prosecco to welcome us which was a lovely touch we appreciated. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We loved our stay! Everything was clean and the bedroom were very nice with comfortable beds. The house had a very cozzy feeling to it. We didn’t had the right plugs for the phone charger and they were nice enough to borrow us 4. On the day of our check out we needed ice to put in the insulin container of my mom and they went above and beyond to get some ice for us, really thankful for that! Overall I would really recommend this place. Location was great too, close by to the beach and restaurants and just 1 hour away from Edinburgh

easy communication, quick response, good price and convenient location

Recently visited Pleasant Hill for Hen Weekend. We had previously been let down by another house and Chris was extremely helpful and reassuring. 17 of us stayed for the weekend and the house was perfect for what we needed it for. Chris was in constant contact with me, gave plenty of recommendations for local amenities and attractions and was flexible on check in and check out times. For such a large party, buying food was a concern of mines but he suggested we do an online shop beforehand and offered to collect it and put it away for us before we arrived. This really was a massive help and greatly appreciated, it was one less worry and concern I had in the run up to the weekend. Our bride and all guests had a fantastic weekend. Thank you!

Host was very friendly with very good communication throughout. On arrival the host made it very easy to get into the lodge and came in and explained all amenities on site and was very polite. Overall, throughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend and return.

We had a lovely long weekend at Tarken House. The views are beautiful. The house is spacious, well stocked and easily accommodated the 10 of us, all adults. House was lovely and warm and very clean. Beds are very comfortable and good size en-suites. Jonathon was very quick to respond to any queries we had. Would highly recommend Tarken House and definitely be back again.

A fabulous lodge on a great site. So comfortable with everything you could want. Beautiful bedding and towels. Great showers. Lovely 5 ring cooker and plenty pits and pans. Tanya was great leading up to the visit making sure we had all the info we needed. Very responsive when we had one or two questions. The only minor issue we had is that there is no terrestial tv due to location. We had to use apps on our phone. Highly recommended.

amazing stay! caravan was perfect and had everything I needed, plus more. Was clean and very well looked after Site was lovely and well maintained. . . only cooked, didn't eat out, but the restaurant on site had some delicious smells coming from it. wonderful walks from door step, with some fantastic places only a short drive away. highly recommend staying here

This lovely cabin ticked all the boxes required to suit 7 adults from families coming together from afar, different generations, and physical abilities. Spacious yet cozy. The conservatory table was perfect for hysterical games of UNO while the weather dazzled us with its fickle self outside the giant windows, shifting from glorious rainbows over the hills, thunderous rain, and sparkling sunrises. Walks from the cabin were enjoyed by everyone. A Park and Ride into Edinburgh and a short drive to Peebles made days out easy. We had an unexpected plumbing issue and it was sorted out immediately while we were out. All said they slept well and the shower pressure/supply of hot water is fantastic. Underfloor heating is great. would happily stay again!

Me and my friends visited this property, and this is one of the best properties we stayed. It was so beautiful and homey. Norrane is very lovely lady. She also guide us with all nearby places and afcourse, if we are coming back to Edinburgh then definitely would like to stay here again...

The Shiel House was an absolutely stunning and massive property. We visited as a large group of 8 on a golf trip, and this was the perfect Airbnb. It was beyond spacious, with all the amenities a large group would need for a week long stay. The location was great for us with popular golfing destinations like St Andrews and Gleneagles within driving distance, as well as a litany of local courses. We also were within driving distance of Edinburgh with plenty of fine dining options. Tim was a very gracious and helpful host who provided clear instructions on locating the property, as well as a fun treasure hunt that takes you around the property and to local spots. Overall, we couldn’t be happier with the property and the host!!

This place was a beautiful spacious retreat at the end of each busy day of exploring Edinburgh and its surrounds. We were 2 couples on a 4 week tour around Scotland.. Whilst a little way out from the city the Pay and Ride option just a few kilometers away made it easy to get to the city Centre. The pay off was a tranquil and idyllic country/farm setting. The place was spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and well equipped. We would thoroughly recommend to anyone planning to visit Edinburgh.. Thank you Christine ..

The accommodation was as described in a quiet country location. It was well equipped with all items required for a relaxing break. Would highly recommend this house to spend a relaxing break.

Corrina's flat is everything you could want: chic, cozy, comfortable, and so close to everything you might enjoy on holiday. Steps away from a gorgeous harbour with a walking path perfect for sunset strolls and lively restaurants. Prestonpans station is minutes away by car if you want to travel into Edinburgh to take in the sights. Corinna herself is a fantastic host, setting out Scottish treats to welcome you and making sure check in was a simple process. She even gave us so many recommendations of things to do and see nearby as well as leaving a lovely card and bottle of prosecco to celebrate our honeymoon! Really above and beyond, we can't say how much we loved our stay here. Really hoping to return again in the not too distant future.

First time to UK and was great!

It was a beautiful getaway! A paradise close to the city. Amazing house, felt like a home away from home! The attention to detail in the house was different from anywhere else we've been in the past. It was stacked with all sorts of equipment and anything you would ever need. Beautiful garden with gorgeous lights. The fireplace was where we spent most of our time. For any couples or families looking for a getaway I would strongly recommend. The kindest regards to our host Patricia who made our stay so lovely. Much Love, Joni and Ayla

We loved staying at Ken’s place in the historic cottages. Very nicely renovated and modern inside, bus to Edinburgh right out the front, easy car parking, close to airport, a garden space; all great. Thoroughly recommend staying here for a trip to Edinburgh.

At first, we had a little misunderstanding since we didn’t read the house instructions carefully. But it was our first time staying in a shared home, and everything went really well. They were super kind and respectful. Thank you for let my daughter spend time with your cat, which made us feel so welcome. The house was clean, cozy, and beautiful. We had a great time!

The house is relatively spacious for 2 people, and located less than 10 min walk to Inverkeithing train station. Door to door, you can be in Edinburgh in 30 minutes, which is very convenient. Leon was very responsive when we had questions. He helped us adjust the heating, and brought us an extra blanket when we asked him. A few points to note however: the bed is quite soft, and the light passes quite a bit through the curtains of the bedroom, so plan to bring an eye mask if you are sensitive to it.

Had a wonderful stay in Jan’s suite. An amazing use of space with everything you need so well provided for. Lovely quiet neighbourhood & very easy access for busses to the city. Spotlessly clean with lovely fresh decor.

This is one of the top stays ever for us. Marcin understands how to make a stay awesome. Seriously cool automotive theme. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again!

Melissa’s flat has been put together with so much thought, it is stylish, cosy, and comfortable. It is perfectly located to be walkable for all the main sites in Edinburgh and has lots of nice restaurants, coffee shops, and bars nearby (and Melissa provided a guidebook to help find the best spots). Melissa was incredibly accommodating and even arranged an infant cot for us. Would absolutely stay again!

We had a lovely 5 night stay! Check in was fine, no problems. The interior is very comfortable and tastefully designed displaying original art and all furnishings are of a high quality. The kitchen is large with everything one would need to prepare a complex meal, excluding condiments and spice, so bring your own. Oil, coffee and salt and pepper are provided. The bedrooms are nice and comfy. The steel tub, in one of the bedrooms, is splendid. Plus there’s plenty of hot water to fill it! We sat in the pretty garden, it’s lush with mature shrubs and flowering plants…but be aware of the stinging nettle. My dog got her paws badly stung and I had brushed into some myself for a whole day of annoying tingling. Bring some Benadryl just incase. If you’re avid walkers, definitely explore the grounds, gardens, pond and tower, all stunning. It’s a large holding, lots to explore. Alexander was very responsive and accommodating. But book now, we noticed future prices are going up!

A great base for a weekend getaway with friends, peaceful location but not too far from the centre. Spacious bedrooms, modern bathrooms and great living spaces!
