Farmstay vacation rentals in Lothian

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

From initial contact, through arrival, stay and departure, everything was ideal. Libby's warm welcome, the cleanliness, comfort, facilities and general atmosphere were all quiteoutstanding.

Very kind and welcoming hosts. It’s a lovely peaceful experience to stay on their working farm. The sunset from the kitchen looking out at the horse and sheep in the field was beautiful. The stars at night are so clear too and the chickens outside in the morning was very cute my children loved seeing the animals each morning. Short 20 min drive for most shops and kids activities/farm parks but great amenities in kitchen for cooking there too.

Follions is a great large house for a family/friends get together. Lots of space inside and out and plenty of stuff in the kitchen to cook up a feast for everyone. There was a slight issue with the heating when we arrived but Richard answered our call straight away and talked us through getting it fixed and after that the house was lovely and warm the rest of the weekend. Great selection of games and dvds too!

We had an amazing stay at the Orchard hideaway - it is in beautiful, rural and peaceful surroundings, and is exactly like the photos. It is private, warm and very clean, the hot tub is great and well maintained, and the host has thought of everything to make it a comfortable relaxing stay. We would love to come back and 100% recommend!

Helen was an excellent host and very helpful when we were dropped off at the wrong place! We felt really welcomed in their home, and enjoyed the lovely welcome gift. The hot tub is lovely and overlooks the beautiful property. Loved our stay!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying here for 3 nights for my partners birthday and can honestly say we enjoyed every single minute. From meeting with Nick the host at check in he was friendly informative and welcoming. To the amazing scenery and amnesties with the beautiful animals. The quality of duvets, towels and bed sheets were amazing! We felt so cozy,comfortable and at home throughout our full stay. A fully equipped kitchen with everything you need. Cozy living room with smart tv was a great addition. Beds were extremely comfortable and curtains were black out so a great night sleep was had. Shower was great pressure and beautiful aaran aromatics body wash shampoo ect all supplied. Spotlessly clean property throughout. We can’t fault our stay at all and cannot wait to return! Thank you for everything Nick!

We, a family of five, enjoyed wonderful four nights in the lovely House on the Hill which was exactly as described. A great plus was the tennis court, that was very well received by our children. Walking the dog was a great experience. We used the farm cottage to explore Scottish Borders, Northumberland and of course Edinburgh. We would certainly come back and highly recommend this lovely place!

We are a family of four with two young girls and felt right at home from the moment we walked in. A very lovely and comfortable cottage, well equipped and Maddie kindly left us milk in the fridge and delicious biscuits on arrival. It's a quick 40 mins to glenshee ski centre and we were lucky enough to have snow. The kids loved sledding and having a winter hike. The cottage is set in a lovely peaceful area near the river amongst blueberry and cherries trees, sadly as we came in winter they were not in bloom but you can tell how magnificent it would have been. Would recommend!

What can I say, the best Airbnb we have stayed at to date! This place is perfect, you are in the middle of fields, with lambs everywhere, your own private loch that has kayaks available to use (great fun!), a secure garden to let the dogs roam freely. The house itself is bigger than the images seem, we had plenty of space for four adults, a toddler and three dogs. They provided a cot and high chair which is a great help. There’s a huge boot room which is great to throw off your coat and walking boots, and give the dogs a towel dry after a walk. Beds were perfectly comfortable, a cosy log fire, plenty of hot water in the showers, what more could you ask for! The house felt more like a home than a rental and we are already planning our next trip. The hosts were friendly and available for any questions you may have. My daughter didn’t want to come inside, she was obsessed with the sheep and being in the garden! only issue was signal for the firestick/ phones was poor but not an issue.

Our stay at Laura's house was incredible. She provided everything we needed and more. We had our 1yr and 3yr with us and she had a toy for them, provided a high chair and bath seat along with the cot we requested. The house was so clean and beautiful, everything was perfect! Loved being surrounded by farm land, you can see Wallace Monument from the back of the house. The back patio is fenced in so our boys could play safely. We loved the hot tub! What a bonus! Laura responded to every message immediately, she had a welcome basket of food and champagne for us, she was so helpful and accommodating. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Absolutely loved our week stay, didn’t want to come home. Lovely cottage in a perfect remote location

Our stay at The Stables was heaven. Paul welcomed us and showed us around and had even set up the hot tub for us arriving. The house was immaculate with everything you could possibly need and beautifully decorated too. We loved the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom. The garden was beautiful and so peaceful and our two dogs loved it, it was completely secure for them which meant we could relax. The view from the garden and the location were wonderful, it was just what we needed. We didn’t want to leave and would love to come back sometime soon. Thank you for being wonderful hosts and for our cheeseboard and Prosecco it was such a thoughtful touch.

Great communication from the host. The setting is stunning and the cottage itself is beautifully presented. Very clean with everything we needed for a few days stay. A fantastic home away from home. Thank you.

Georgie’s place was the perfect location to stay in. The location was peaceful and beautiful with a lot of care taken from Georgie to make it feel special. We had everything we needed for cooking and our four days felt so special. Georgie was also very friendly and helpful. I have stayed in a lot of AirBnBs but I think this might be the best one yet! Highly recommend for a little getaway as there is plenty to do in the local area, or it would be a great place to switch off from the world.

We had a great stay here over the Easter weekend. We live fairly nearby and wanted to try something different in a remote setting and we were not disappointed. The tiny house is stunning and is located in beautiful surriundings. The interior is modern and deceptively spacious. The village of Fintry is within walking distance (although the road has no path so take care) and other villages are a short drive away, so plenty to explore nearby. Our host welcomes us on arrival, was friendly and was proactive in reaching out to make sure we were ok. We had no issues during our stay, but am confident anything would have been resolved without issue. We loved our time here and are already looking forward to booking again in the near future. Thank you so much for having us.

Booked The Stables for 8 adults and 1 child as a little family break. We were greeted with strawberry jam and a packet of shortbread, courtesy of Nicola, and a handy booklet with info and instructions. The house was nothing short of gorgeous. Honestly the stuff of dreams! So clean, cosy and well proportioned. There aren’t enough words to describe the grounds themselves. We would need a week to explore them alone! Truly beautiful, a good base to explore Edinburgh as Glasgow as the train station is 10 mins away by car. A safe and open area where you could really relax and spend quality time with loved ones. Hope to be back when it’s snowing! Nicola was also very helpful and responded to enquiries in a timely manner! Many thanks.

I don’t have enough words for how much we loved our stay here. It was absolutely perfect. The cottage itself was well appointed, clean, and incredibly cozy. Everything in the home was lovely and intentional and there were so many thoughtful little touches (the DVD selection was brilliant). The location was so peaceful and stunning. The views were incredible. We loved watching the sheep! It’s also a short drive into the village, which has a lot to do. If you are looking for a relaxing and romantic getaway, this is your place!

Mel was a very helpful and friendly host. The cottage was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for a quiet and peaceful break. Particularly good for the dog with the garden being fully enclosed and free to roam.

This was our second stay at Gordon's beautiful accommodation. Gordon and Marion was very friendly and the place was comfortable with fantastic views. The house is very clean, comfortable and quiet and we felt we had complete privacy inside the property. We had a great stay and would definitely stay again 😊

I had a really great stay at Norma's place. Very spacious and the location is ideal, just a short walk from the village. Great for access to Kielder forest. Would recommend and would like to stay again when in the area.

Beccy is very friendly and helpful. The cottage was small, but very fully furnished and clean. The chickens and sheep are a nice addition, our children really liked that too. The road to it is a challenge, but drive slowly and you can get there :)

Had a lovely couple of nights at Nether Glenny. Merlin is small but perfectly formed. Everything you need for your stay. It was also very cosy and warm. Alison had also left out a few breakfast extras and a bottle of fizz for Valentine's day which was very much appreciated. We had a delicious meal at Nick Nairns restaurant and went on one of the many good walks near Aberfoyle. There are two very friendly cats onsite who came to our door but they also offer farm tours if you are interested in meeting their highland coos.

We had another wonderful stay at Lindsay’s cottage. Lindsay was extremely helpful and quick to respond. We enjoyed cosying up when the weather was bad and just appreciated the peace and quiet. The girls and the dogs loved running around the secure garden and we had the added bonus of seeing some lambs on the hill. We’ll hopefully be back again soon.
