Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Scottish Borders

Wonderful welcoming staff. Accommodation very comfortable and the kitchen really well equipped. Would def use again - easy 25 min drive to Edinburgh old town.

Great location and walkable to the Golden Mile and train station. Very homey and comfortable with clear understanding of the running of the home. Salma was always very responsive and accommodating. Thanks for a wonderful stay, Salma. Our family sure enjoyed it!

Lovely clean house, wish I’d found it sooner

the accommodation was clean and exactly what was described and walkable to Colgate 20 minutes. lots of useful shops and restaurants around. A bit pricey but a great location

Everything is ok

We had a very nice stay. The appartment is beautiful and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the large kitchen - a nice place to prepare food and to sit together. Bus connections are excellent. Gill, the host, did everything possible to make her guests happy. That was really great.

Stort værelse med meget opbevaringsplads. Lidt større tallerkener til morgenmaden, ville være nice.

appartement fonctionnel, près de tous les transports et commerces,le centre ville est à 15 minutes à pied. Parfait ! les hôtes étaient très à l'écoute de nos demandes

I spent nearly four months in Wendy's accommodation. I had a great time there! The apartment itself offers great views, and the room is very comfortable. It is easily accessible by bus and has a good connection to the city centre and main University Campus, as well as being close to a big supermarket and the beach. Being on the outskirts of the city and by the sea, it made it very easy to find peace, walking along the beach or visiting my personal favourite place, Newhailes Estate. For those coming to study here: the bus connection to the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings is not great, especially on the way back, and if you'll have to be there a lot I'd recommend getting a bicycle, which is about twice as fast. Wendy is a very friendly host, who is usually not home during the day but if you run into her and she has time she will be open for a chat - for example sharing stories or music. She loves baking, and might leave something she made in the fridge for you!

The Airbnb was in a fantastic location, close to everything we wanted to see and do in Edinburgh. The space was very clean and just what we needed for a comfortable visit. Would definitely recommend.

Had a wonderful stay! The apartment is in a fantastic location — close to everything you need, including supermarkets, fast food spots, and cozy pubs. It’s the perfect base for exploring Edinburgh if you’re looking for a more local, authentic experience. Would definitely recommend!

Great location, a lot of things to do nearby, and close to the main sites of the city

Absolutely fantastic hosts! and perfect location in Edinburgh, literally a tram or bus ride from the centre and really lovely neighborhood. Can't fault Sue or her husband on their hosting, we were treated as part of the family.

Hi Wendy Would just love to say thanks so much for be soo nice and wonderful. You have a heart of gold and we enjoyed staying . We felt so welcomed x thanks for the recommendation of king Mary close , it was fantastic and so intriguing

Kamil responded very quickly when I booked, checked to see if I needed a lift from anywhere. He gave me a larger room, very comfortable. Nice dining room/lounge overlooking garden. Near bus stop. Useful to be able to use fridge, kitchen. Access by entering a code if Kamil isn't in. Venue very handy for visiting friend in sheltered housing nearby.

I stayed at Kamil's home for one night, and it was just what I needed. I had a good night's sleep, very quiet, and both the kitchen and bathroom were clean. I will definitely come back on my next trip to Edinburgh!

Kamil, was a fantastic host. As I was his first long stay rental he outlined his rules. Respect to privacy but also sociable and volunteered to take me with him when he did grocery shopping or going for take out meals. His place felt like a second home, and asked me before going into the room I rented if he had to access items stored there. The keyless door lock and outdoor camera made me feel secure. With the kitchen I had my own cupboard space as well as space in the fridge and freezer for my food, as well as instructed me in the use of the cooker and washing machine ( different from Canada).

Our first trip to Edinburgh was wonderful and memorable. Paige and Mark’s home was a perfect location for our family. We were a short walk from the Water of Leith trail which was a beautiful way to stretch our legs and visit a cute cobblestone street full of cafes and restaurants. We had a rental car to travel but public transportation is easily accessible. Traveling to the Edinburgh Castle and Arthurs Seat is easy and convenient. The home was clean, quiet, and comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked in the event you want to eat in. Thanks Paige and Mark for making our trip amazing!

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

We booked Susannah's property to host a family get together with people travelling from as far away as New Zealand. The property turned out to be perfect for the 5 of us but would have been just as perfect for 8. This property is clearly someone's home, it has a completely different feeling to many of the antiseptic business properties that we have stayed in before and I felt this was entirely positive. The decor is great and the facilities even better with 3 large bathroom's offering great showers. The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh as it was well served by the excellent bus system with the tram available for longer journeys. It would also be walkable to the centre of town but we chose to save our energy for exploring. We never failed to find parking nearby when required but chose to leave our cars in the free park & ride carpark that was accessible via a £2 bus. I cannot recommend this property too highly and would definitely return again if numbers required.
