House rentals with a pool

The Granary
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!

Northfield, Cottage Apartment
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

Edinburgh, New Sea View Caravan
Es war ein toller Aufenthalt, wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Der Wohnwagen ist überraschend geräumig und die Lage ist einfach toll. Das Meer ist nur durch eine Straße von der Unterkunft getrennt. Wenn Ebbe ist, kann man gemütlich am Strand entlang spazieren. Mit dem Bus, der nicht weit von der Unterkunft entfernt ist, fährt man bequem nach Edinburgh. Die Lage ist ruhig, und einen kleinen Supermarkt gibt es in der Anlage auch. Die Ausstattung des Wohnwagens ist super! Wir waren zu viert dort (4 Erwachsene) und haben nichts vermisst. Wir können die Unterkunft wärmstens empfehlen!!!

Static Caravan Holiday Home
This was a lovely place to stay. I was attending a wedding close by and it was perfect for what we needed. Scott was great to communicate with and a really lovely guy, will definitely be back.

Lodge 17 St Andrews
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.

Static Caravan Holiday Home
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

Northfield, Garden Apartment (3 bedroom)
I booked this property at short notice and the reason was because I saw that it had a good location and also a pool for my children to play in the water and that since I had a short time, I saw this as a good space, but the only thing is that the pool cannot be used in cold weather.... But in terms of being large, clean and tidy and having amenities, it is a very suitable place, just because I wanted to go to Edinburgh, which was an hour away. Most importantly, the owner was very kind and polite. He also lived in the property next door and was a very nice person. When we returned, our cat was lost in the garden and he helped us find it with great kindness and patience. I am extremely grateful to him, I recommend that you travel there for rest and accommodation.

Northfield, Garden Apartment (2 bedroom)
Booked Northfield as a base close to family as well as attending events in the central belt. House was perfect for our family, clean, tidy and lovely big outdoor space. Little added extras such as the loaf of bread, milk, butter and shortbread was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend and have already passed on to my relatives abroad who may wish to visit the area in the future as an ideal base.

Bright and cosy duplex.
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.

Luxury Private Mews House in Edinburgh’s New Town
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!

Zephirine Cottage - sleeps 4
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...

Historic Dean Village House
This was the most exquisite experience! It was like staying in a magical fairyland. The location is beyond perfect. You can access all the major sites by foot while staying in the heart of Dean Village. The history and the feel of being in this home gave us the ultimate happiness. We cannot recommend staying here enough! Book it!

City Centre, Entire Georgian House.
Many thanks Roisin for your nice tips on Edinburgh pubs and restaurants ! With a special mention to your drawing skills, we have kept your map as a precious souvenir 😉 M&M

Self-contained ground level cottage with hill view
We stayed for 2 nights to attend a concert at Murrayfield. Exactly as pictured a perfect little home with everything we needed and spotlessly clean. To not also the bed is very comfortable ;) We were lucky enough to meet Ping such a helpful, kind and friendly host. Although the home is up a hill it’s clearly referenced in the description and down which a short, well serviced bus ride to the city, walkable to local shops and restaurants and a 30 min walk to the stadium. Hopefully we can stay again soon!

The Garden Cottage
The Garden Cottage was everything we hoped for and more. The location was very convenient to Stockbridge and all of its restaurants and shops. There are numerous bus stops within 10-20 mins walk to grab a quick bus up the hill into New Town, across Princes Gardens into Old Town, or even for easy day trips like to Rosslyn Chapel or Portobello. Victoria was a very accommodating host and easy to work with. The cottage had plenty of space, was very well equipped for self-catering, and was stocked with all the basics you need (e.g., coffee, tea, sugar, etc.). Having a washer and dryer (as well as a drying rack) was a luxury we’ve rarely seen in the UK or Europe.

West Edinburgh (Airport/Murrayfield/City Centre)
Me and my family enjoyed Allan’s home immensely. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood and felt clean and inviting. If I had to mention a downside, it would be only having one bathroom. Of course the listing is clear that this location only has one bathroom. It was walking distance to a great local pub as well as couple restaurants. Driving to and from Edinburgh was a breeze, but it was equally easy to Uber or take public transport if you preferred. Would recommend! Thanks, Allan for you your hospitality!

Peaceful Coach House for four in Trinity,Edinburgh
We absolutely loved Kirsteen's place. The coach house itself was just perfect for our needs. Two spacious bedrooms, a large sitting area and kitchen, all in a beautiful neighborhood. We enjoyed walking to the nearby park with our dog, and we really enjoyed the nearby cafe and pub recommended by our hosts. The bus into town was super convenient. We highly recommend staying with Kirsteen for the perfect balance of tourist and local while visiting Edinburgh.

Edinburgh City, Sea & Nature Retreat
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!

17th Century Dovecot, 20 min to Edinburgh by train
La maison est relativement spacieuse pour 2 personnes, et située à moins de 10 min à pied de la station de train Inverkeithing. Porte à porte, on peut donc être à Edinburgh en 30 min, ce qui est bien pratique. Leon a été très réactif lorsque nous avions des questions. Il nous a aidé à ajuster le chauffage, et nous a amené une couverture supplémentaire lorsque nous lui avons demandé. Quelques points à noter cependant : le lit est assez mou, et la lumière passe pas mal à travers les rideaux de la chambre, donc prévoyez bien un masque pour les yeux si vous y êtes sensibles.

Stylish New Town Home
We had a great stay at Flures place! The location is perfect and very walkable to big sites as well as bars and restaurants. The house itself was beautiful with plenty of space for two couples. Flure was very responsive throughout the process, check in and check out were very smooth. We would definitely recommend for a stay in Edinburgh!

The Cottage - STL No. EH-69949-F
Cindy's place was absolutely perfect for my stay in Edinburgh. She was extremely helpful and communicative, and she provided very helpful advice/tips for exploring the city and surrounding area. Transportation was super easy without a rental car as the bus stop was right at the end of the Cul de sac, and the bus system in Edinburgh is extremely cheap, safe and efficient. The cottage was very clean and cozy, and it is located in a very nice area. Would highly recommend!

Converted farm steading.
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 ..

3 guests-WiFi-view-private-fireplace-parking-patio
Absolutely stunning! We spent 4 nights at Jacqui’s and had the most amazing stay, the cottage was beautifully presented and so spacious and the outlook was breathtaking! Close to Edinburgh but out of the city enough to be so peaceful, we would stay there again in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Jacqui for the great stay, if we are ever back in Scotland we will definitely book again. 😊

Brunstane House - 15 mins to City Centre
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!
