Vacation rentals with lake access in Midlothian

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 really enjoyed our stay. The house was immaculate which made it comfortable to relax. The hot tub was a highlight for the whole family. The water was sparkling clean. The location was picturesque & convenient. We had a great time cycling & visiting local attractions.

Cynthia’s place is well located with great amenities. Self check in was smooth and she was highly responsive and proactive before and during our stay. Great stay - thank you!

Leadburn ist ein wundervoller Ort in der Nähe von Edinburgh. Die Ankunft war durch die gute Wegbeschreibung unkompliziert, und die etwas versteckte Lage des Hauses ist schlicht großartig. Theresa hat uns sehr nett empfangen, und in dem schönen, großzügig dimensionierten Haus mit einer auch für eine große Gruppe vollständig ausgestatteter Küche haben wir uns wirklich wohlgefühlt; für uns (4 Personen) war das Platzangebot schlicht luxuriös. Die Lage an einem kleinen Gewässer ist wunderbar, so dass man versucht ist, gar nicht erst nach Edinburgh (oder in andere Gegenden) zu fahren, sondern nur die unmittelbare Umgebung zu genießen und zu erkunden. Alles in allem eine große Empfehlung, wenn man ein paar Tage in der Nähe von Edinburgh und zugleich in einer - im positiven Sinne - abgeschiedenen Lage inmitten der Natur verbringen möchte!

Beautiful cottage, met by hosts on arrival, would love to stay again

Scots place was beautiful. Lots to do inside and outside. Kids had lot of fun as there were toys scooter and bike. There was colouring books and pens card games kids did not get enough time as we only booked for one night. Scott was kind and he extended our check out. Kids made the most out of it. Not far away from Edinburgh castle which was our holiday plans to explore Edinburgh city. Clean kitchen and toilet and shower. We had everything we needed in the caravan. Thanks Scott for making the one night stay comfortable. You are a star

Annie’s house was perfect for a big family getaway. The space is lovely and so comfortable, with everything you need. The location is fantastic, really beautiful surroundings and great walks. 5 mins drive from towns supermarkets, beaches, and lovely local shops. Annie was so friendly and helpful too, highly recommend!

Patricia's place is exceptional. Clean, peaceful, quiet, and in the most lovely natural setting. It's a win for us, thank you Patricia!!

2nd time staying in the flat. Very nice place, excellent location and super friendly and helpful host. Highly recommended. Good location to commute in to Edinburgh or further up north if you have a car. Easy walking distance from pubs and restaurants as well as the high street.

What a wonderful find! Our stay couldn’t have been more straightforward and comfortable and being on the estate was idyllic. Do explore the grounds or you’ll miss out - I think our young girls discovered their enchanted woods! Thank you, Gwen.

Wir hatten eine wunderbare Zeit im Apartment. Die Bahn ist nur wenige Fußminuten entfernt. Ebenso ist auch ein Supermarkt (24/7 geöffnet) in der Nähe und von dort aus gibt es auch die Möglichkeit mit Bussen in die Stadt zu fahren. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

The house was extremely clean and well-kept with all basic amenities provided. We did not have to worry about anything since our host Xiaoling made sure that everything was smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a beautiful yet affordable place in the heart of Edinburgh.

Well stocked house with all amenities inside. Great location if you drive

Had a great couple of days. The flat was in a good location, easy to walk to the centre of Edinburgh. Parking outside was straightforward. Kathy was very good at communicating, clear instructions.

It was a darling spot. Enjoyed the area and no more than a 25 minute walk to most places in the city centre. Deborah was great!

The apartment is exactly how it is listed, Cataldo is an excellent host, very responsive (even at odd hours) and friendly. The instructions to find the lockbox and apartment were clear and super helpful. The lake next to the apartment gave us a nice serene view during our morning walks. 20mins away from the city centre, plenty of buses running!! Certainly recommend this place.

It was as described, a lovely little cottage. It felt like home straight away. Beds and bedding were wonderful. Katrina had left out extra blankets and rugs for our dog. It had everything we needed for our stay and Katana made sure we had a lovely stay. What a fantastic experience for our first time in air bnb.

What a beautiful spot! Very quiet. We all slept very well! Wish we could have stayed longer to appreciate the beautiful surroundings. It is a little remote so if you don’t have a car (which we didn’t) may end up being a little expensive going in and out of Edinburgh, but we always got an Uber when we wanted one. Perfect for walkers and cyclists. Wish we had time to explore the area more. We may be back! Thanks, Kerry!

We came to the area to visit family in nearby Biggar and thoroughly enjoyed our short stay at Edward’s cottage. It was well laid out, spotlessly clean, comfortable and had all we needed. We were delighted with our Red squirrel neighbours who visited regularly. Our 9 yr old took the job of refilling the feeders very seriously. We had mixed weather but still managed to make good use of the large enclosed rear garden and outside dining area. The scenery is breathtaking and there are lots of birds to see /listen out for. We’d have loved to have spent longer exploring but sadly our aging Border collie isn’t up to long walks anymore. Having said that he/we still enjoyed 3-4 mile walks and runs up and down the valley from the cottage.

The place is amazing .. surrounding is surreal. We had a great time. Major super markets / stores are 15 mins drive. But that is ok... we chose for it. We chose to be away from Edinburgh. This place is 35/40 mins beautiful drive from Edinburgh. The estate in which this place is situated is beautiful. The owner allowed us to roam around and explore. If you are countryside fan, you would love it.

We stayed 5 nights the end of May when all the flowering shrubs were in bloom. Its was truly a beautiful scene. We liked the quiet nature for walks on the property. We did some cycling trips from there also using the local train and cycle shop rental. The kitchen was great though we didn’t cook much. The local golf course had great food(vegan too) so we ate there several times. Everyone was so friendly in West Calder. We enjoyed a cosey fire one night. Nicola was very friendly, quick to respond for small stuff she rectified. I would love to return.

Wir waren für 10 Tage in John‘s Ferienhaus, um Südschottland und die Gegend um Edinburgh kennenzulernen. Schon bevor wir ankamen, gab es ein Problem mit dem Mietwagen. Zum Glück hatten wir John als Gastgeber, der uns äußerst hilfsbereit unterstützte. Das Ferienhaus ist auf einem Bauernhof, es ist ruhig dort, das Haus selbst ist wunderschön eingerichtet, viel großzügiger als auf den Fotos, und es gibt alles, was man braucht, um sich wohlfühlen zu können. Manchmal haben wir uns schon Regen gewünscht, um nichts unternehmen zu müssen und ohne Sorge etwas zu versäumen, einen Tag mit Lesen am Kamin verbringen zu können. Die umgebende Landschaft ist geprägt von hügligen Schafweiden. In 10-minütiger Entfernung ist Galashiels, eine kleine Stadt mit Bahnanschluss nach Edinburgh, in der man Einkaufen und Essengehen kann. Von John‘s Unterkunft aus bieten sich Ausflüge nach Edinburgh, zu Seen, zur Ostküste Schottlands und zu den vielen kleinen Städtchen in Südschottland an.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Boathouse. It was relaxing and beautiful. Swans, ducks, and geese (even baby swans) greeted us on the first morning. A long walk around the grounds in the evening provided stunning views of Dundas Castle. That walk is a must! Everything is set amongst lush green and beautiful flowering rhododendrons. The cabin is just right for two- cozy and private with beautiful views.
