Edinburgh waterfront, 3 bed, balcony, apartment.
Beautiful space with a panoramic view of the water, we had a lovely time, was close to everything we needed, the WiFi could be better, but it was a great stay.

Prime View Waterfront 2 Bed Executive Apartment
A lovely lit coastal path on the door. Kitchen well equipped.

Bijou by the Bridges, Stunning Seaside Apartment
We had a great stay at Angie's place. Everything was just what we needed. Helpful, friendly advice made it everything easy. Super views and a perfect location for exploring the area plus close to bus/train connections.

Central Spacious Flat With Parking and Balcony
Comfortable stay at Kathy's place, with all the amenities, and spacious for 5 people. Check-in..although little complicated, was smooth and Kathy helped throught the check-in process. Also, stuff like coffee, cookies helped us after we checked-in. Will definitely recommend the same place to others. Note: Stringent rules like "asking to leave suitcase in hallway next to the main door and avoiding the wheels of the suitcase marking the floor" make no sense in today's day and age. With 5 people carrying 5 suitcases, it's never possible to keep all the suitcases in hallway and taking stuff out everytime to respective rooms. Sorry, even if this is a requirement, there is a need to specify this explicitly in Room rules during booking, so that guests can take decision on booking accordingly.

Modern 1-bed & study waterfront flat in Leith
Emily's flat was perfect for a few days in Edinburgh and had everything we needed. Comfy bed, great shower and a lovely kitchen. It's the perfect spot for visiting the city, a 3 minute walk to the tram, which takes 15 minutes to the city centre (we walked one day and it was only 40 minutes). Emily gave us loads of recommendations for places to eat and they were all brilliant. Brunch, dinner, coffee, cocktails, you're spoiled for choice in Leith. Emily is a proactive, responsive and really helpful host and I would definitely look to stay again the next time I visit Edinburgh.

Cosy cottage - sea views, Fife Coastal Path, Golf
We had a truly lovely stay at the Cottage! The place had everything we needed and more; beautifully decorated, comfortably furnished, and incredibly well-equipped, especially the kitchen. The garden looked absolutely stunning, it was such a shame we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it properly due to the weather. The location was perfect, just a few minutes from the beach and beautiful walks, ideal for taking the dogs and kids out first thing in the morning. One of the real highlights for us was the bed, honestly, it might be the most comfortable one we’ve ever slept in! All the information provided was super clear, and both Jane and Joyce were incredibly quick and helpful in responding to any questions we had. We truly loved the place – it made our visit feel extra special.

Cottage near Edinburgh, West Linton, Borders
Mary was a wonderful host. It is a tricky spot to find as phone signal drops out and we made the mistake of coming through in the dark! Nevertheless Mary stood outside in the cold to guide us in, which was so kind and helpful. Beautiful grounds, perfect for relaxing. Cosy house which is very well equipped, very much a home from home feel.

Craigiehall Keep
Second time staying here as it’s perfect for a family of four. My children love watching the planes and trains from the living room and have lots of space to play, and enjoyed exploring the garden. The house is very comfortable and cosy and the kitchen is well equipped. Definitely need a car to stay here as it’s a long way from any public transport but it was a great base for visiting Edinburgh and the surrounding area.

3 bedroomed near city centre
My family had an absolutely amazing long weekend at Charles’ home. Kenneth supported a very smooth check-in and was super friendly and responsive. I really appreciated that the hosts were very responsive and also transparent about the feasibility of staying in their home with a baby. The home itself was spotlessly clean, had a beautiful kitchen, and was very peaceful to relax while watching the river flow by. We will be back!

Relax at the edge of a loch, near Edinburgh
Our stay was just the best. The location was beautiful, peaceful and quiet with its own loch and kayaks which the children loved. It was also close by to local amenities and many places to visit nearby. The house was so spacious and comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked and Theresa had very kindly left us some groceries, a very welcome addition. Pets were also welcomed and it was a great place for dogs to run around in. We would not hesitate to recommend Theresa’s house as it had everything and more that we were looking for.

Heron House: The Forth Rail Bridge Cottage
A lovely little cottage to enjoy the beautiful North Queensferry. The house is beautifully presented and really feels homely and welcoming. The bedrooms are great sizes and the bathroom was spotless. Will definitely be staying here again!

Stunning with Breathtaking Views!
What a wonderful place! Exactly as advertised and more. Calum and Karen were very responsive and gracious. Always helpful with recommendations. It was a family trip so we did a lot of touring. After a long day of activities, it was always great to come back to this beautiful home . . . and the views are spectacular.

Modern Waterfront Park Duplex with Patio & Parking
Maria's place exceeded our expectations, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking for a pristine and cozy getaway. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by how immaculate and well-kept everything was. The cleanliness was top-notch, making the space feel fresh and inviting. The coziness of this place was truly exceptional. The decor was charming and thoughtfully curated, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Additionally, Maria was incredibly hospitable and responsive.

Beautiful Central City, Waterside Quay Apartment
Lou and Claire’s apartment was perfect for our 3 night stay in Edinburgh - an excellent location for transport and restaurants. It’s in a pretty area out of the hustle and bustle of tourist attractions which suited us perfectly - felt like we had a real taste of what it’s like to be a local. Parts of the apartment are small such as the bathroom and kitchen but completely equipped with anything one may need…also provided great inspiration on how to make good use of a small space! We recommend staying at Lou and Claire’s apartment!

Modern & cosy flat close to the city centre
Great location, excellent communication. We really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely book again.

Bright and Spacious 2 Bed Flat by the Harbour
Julia’s place was very comfortable, great spacious apartment with all amenities. Very quiet and very secure 🙂

Cozy Waterfront Flat in the Heart of Kirkcaldy
This place is exactly as described. Quaint and cozy with everything we needed! Close to beautiful walking trails on the shore and Main Street shopping and pubs. Jennifer was easy to communicate with. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

2 Bedroom river view flat in Culross
Jon and Lindsey’s lovely flat was the perfect base for us to explore Culross from. It was very clean and cosy, with wonderful views from the kitchen/living room. Everything we could have needed was provided for us. Jon was extremely helpful and understanding when we had to cancel our original booking due to a storm. Communication throughout our stay was great, we would definitely return.

Stunning Seaview Flat | Pass The Keys
The property is well located with a beautiful view of the bay. The apartment is well equipped and well laid out. Access to the apartment is easy and the apartment is a comfortable walking distance from Edinburgh centre. Andrew communicates all needed information in a timely manner and was very pleasant. I would definitely book this apartment again for a future visit.

coastal town ground floor 1 bed flat
Lovely quiet, safe location. The apartment was spotlessly clean throughout and well presented with supplies of anything you might need during your stay. Excellent communication from Victoria. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a base to explore Edinburgh and the surrounding areas.
