Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Edinburgh

Fiona and her home are incredible! The room is the perfect oasis and the bed is super comfortable and an actual large king size bed. The house is gorgeous and so is the yard. Fiona herself is so welcoming and kind. She is a wealth of information about things in the area. The breakfast she makes is fit for a king, with home made bread, jam, eggs from her kitchen, delicious beverages and homemade granola! Book here if you have the chance!

We had an amazing stay! The location was perfect, and the house had such a unique charm. We wish we could have spent more time at the house, but we were eager to explore the city. John was an excellent host, and his two daughters were a true delight. Most mornings, we enjoyed breakfast with the two of them, and they were wonderful company, sharing stories and laughter. If we ever return to Edinburgh, this place will definitely be our top choice!

Thank you, Debbie! Excellent and immaculate accommodation. Very comfy bed! Great communication from Debbie before and during stay. Very welcoming host made the whole stay relaxing. Super location for access as well as walking distance to grocery shop and several eateries. Would definitely recommend.

You have to stay here if you’re visiting Edinburgh or any of the other places in Scotland. It truly is home away from home! The room and bathroom has every amenity possible, so cozy, very clean and absolutely beautiful. H and Jimmy are the nicest people, just wanting your stay to be comfortable and enjoy Scotland. We ate in Prestonpans then walked along the beach each night with a sunset, one of the highlights of our trip. It’s a few minute drive or 15 walking. We took the train ( so close to the house) to Edinburgh only took 15 minutes. Im so glad we booked here because it’s a great beach town away from the city craziness, I couldn’t wait to get back and go for a walk in this cute town. Huge bonus is visiting with H & Jimmy. Enjoy!

James was the perfect host! Very knowledgeable and friendly, helpful and seemingly a jack of all trades! The house was comfortable and inviting, very homey and well thought out. Everything you could need and more is there. Thank you for a very memorable stay and visit to Houpetown Castle 💕

One of my favourite houses I’ve ever been in. Such a privilege spending time in such an intriguing home with an intriguing history and such warm, kind and knowledgeable hosts. Thanks so much!

My elderly aunt and mum stayed with Rose and praised the cleanliness of the home, sheer number of amenities (water kettle, coffee, tea, biscuits in room, games, shampoo, hair dryer, etc.) and friendliness of the hosts. Their room and bath were easy to access on the ground floor. Rose was always quick to respond to me and it was a comfort to know they were well looked after before my daughter’s wedding.

What can I say about Rose and Jake except absolutely amazing. Great hosts. Super responsive. The place was spotless. I miss lil Millie already. What a hidden gem. Rose and Jake’s will always be a home base in Scotland. Fantastic find.

We had a lovely time. The place had everything we needed. We appreciated the early check in. We enjoyed talking with Patrick over breakfast. The bed was comfortable. Patrick was very welcoming and made us feel very comfortable. Highly recommend!

This place is an absolute gem! The location is beautiful and safe (I was traveling alone). The room had a lovely view, and the bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was unmatched in presentation, taste, and selection. I'm convinced it’s the best breakfast in all of Edinburgh! Ms. Carole goes above and beyond to make her guests feel well-cared for and quite spoiled. I had to check out early my last morning, and she packed food for me to take with me. One word of advice: don't use Google Maps to find the address. Citymapper will take you right to the address. If I could give it a six-star rating, I would. I will be recommending it to my family and friends, and I hope to visit again.

Very efficient host Hassle free check-in and check out Was kind enough to take our hangover into consideration and allow a 30 min late check-out

Andy and his wife are very kind people. They gave us many good local recommendations. The house is 20 minutes by bus to the city center. There is a bus stop right in front of the house. We felt like we were at home. Everything is very well thought out for the guests. They also have a cute dog. Definitely a place I would like to stay if I go again.

I don’t usually leave reviews on Airbnb, but this stay truly deserves one. This was by far the best value for money I’ve ever experienced. Deane is an amazing host—his kindness and hospitality made all the difference. The breakfast he prepared every morning was a highlight of my stay, and I’ll never forget his generosity. Everything was perfect, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

Great stay for two nights, Easy and smooth check-in, the room described clearly like the pictures,expect to share a wonderful living room and kitchen with other guests, breakfast was delicious. The house 20 minuets far from the city center, hosts are very friendly and help me to keep my luggage until my next check in, if you look for clean and quiet places this is the right place, overall it was a good time spending there. They let me to take many pictures for the house and share it in my insta@M4.f.

Unfortunately Mary was called away to look after a sick relative on the day of our arrival but John Archie was a fantastic and welcoming host to us and our doggy. The house was beautifully clean and the bedding and towels immaculate. The bed and pillows were so comfortable! It was a nice quiet area but with easy access to all the amenities of South Queensferry. John Archie put on a delicious breakfast for us and was such good company that I felt like I’d made a friend by the time we left. A shame we didn’t get to meet Mary but I hope we can come back and will definitely want to visit John Archie and Mary again if we are ever in the area.

I had a wonderful stay with Eleanor! She was responsive and accommodating from the start. During the stay she was friendly, attentive, and helpful. The place is clean, convenient, and your room is very private. Great location for someone seeking a quiet retreat that is still accessible to everything. Getting around couldn’t be easier with a bus stop just around the corner and plenty of free street parking.

We had an amazing time at Fay’s yurt, both her and Jamie were super helpful and very friendly, they made us feel very welcome and explained everything to us on arrival while showing us around as well as giving us some tips of places to visit nearby. They were attentive and there to help us when we needed but also gave us privacy. The yurt itself is unreal, really clean and tidy with everything we needed inside and the log fire was great, made the place so cosy. The walled garden is absolutely beautiful and the 3 friendly goats were a real highlight for us, we went to see them every morning! The kitchen and bathroom areas were well stocked and clean, it was great to have access to them both and made our stay really comfortable. The surrounding areas are also stunning, a truly special place if you’re looking for somewhere quiet and relaxing to stay. It’s well situated for visiting the places we wanted to go. We would love to go back, thank you for having us! ❤️

Lovely room in a gorgeous, leafy neighbourhood. Jessica was kind, and I even got to try some fantastic home baking! The room is superbly equipped with everything you could ever need, including toiletries and a great tea selection!

Staying at Tracey’s place felt like being welcomed into the home of an old friend. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel completely at ease with her warm welcome and prepared me a cup of tea ☕️ When I caught a cold after The Highlands trip, she went above and beyond by preparing Lemsips for me without hesitation—such a thoughtful touch that I’ll never forget! Her home is cozy, and her two adorable cats added an extra layer of comfort and such a joy to be around! What truly stood out, though, were the wonderful conversations we shared. Tracey is such an interesting and caring person, and our chats made my stay even more special. I couldn’t have asked for a better host, and I’d recommend Tracey’s place in a heartbeat to anyone seeking warmth, hospitality, and a truly personal experience. Thank you so much, Tracey—you made my stay unforgettable!

Very clean and comfortable, Carol was a very friendly person who was extremely helpful. Breakfasts were excellent with a first class selection to chose from.
