Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Midlothian

I rented an apartment for my parents for a week and we are very satisfied. The apartment was clean and looked exactly like the pictures. In addition, Marcin was very kind, asked if we were missing anything, and answered all the questions. Thank you again for a wonderful stay! :) Eng: I rented this apartment for my parents for a week, and we were very happy with our choice.

Heathers place is in a lovely location with stunning views from the rear garden, the property is equally as nice , clean and tidy and the kitchen is well equipped, would definitely book again

A really lovely and well-kept accommodation, close to Edinburgh but set in a beautiful country estate. The cottage itself is spacious, cosy and very well equipped. If you have dogs and/or small children it’s ideal, as you can walk from the doorstep without dealing with any busy roads. There’s an excellent fenced off area which keeps your dogs penned in. If you’re a cook, the equipment is very good and plenty of utensils. Children’s bib and plate also available, toys in the sitting room. Heating is very efficient and we were provided firewood which was nice. Definitely recommend for families for cosy holidays and outdoors activities and also good proximity to Edinburgh- the local towns also have trains to the city.

A perfect home from home stay to spend with family. Thanks to Jane and her co hosts for the kind welcome basket :) The house is beautifully presented, clean and spacious. The hot tub was a fantastic addition to an already fantastic house! We were fortunate with the sunny warm weather so also to enjoy the spacious garden. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would 100% recommend to travellers looking for a large property to stay in just outside Edinburgh.

My husband and I stayed at the Water Tower for 3 nights. It is beautifully restored with so much attention to detail. In arriving we explored it in total awe. It is very comfortable and each bedroom has an ensuite toilet and hand basin. The bathroom is totally wonderful - especially having a bath. The sitting room at the top has a sensational view and is very comfortably furnished. As previous reviews have mentioned the Water Tower is well equipped and we were made very welcome by Susan and Gerry and greeted with homemade muffins and our choice of breakfast ingredients. The Water Tower is really well located, with Morrisons, a wonderful Indian Restaurant called Itihaas for dinner and an incredibly convenient bus service to Edinburgh (£2 per ride - use your card on your phone to pay) - all just around the corner. The Water Tower is an incredibly special place and we would stay again if/when we come back to Edinburgh. Thank you very much Susan and Gerry for hosting us.

The house was lovely and easily accommodated our family of six, including children and accessibility needs. Marie was very accommodating and had provided a well stocked kitchen and helpful guidance on using the features of the property.

Everything absolutely as described. Felt homely and welcoming. Ideal for a few days exploring Edinburgh. Local supermarket 2 minute walk away was handy for milk and supplies.

It is a gem of a place that is particularly well-suited for family accommodation provided not bigger than four or five people. The environment is quiet and the property has a distinct green feel to it. The distance to the city centre means that one has the advantage of seeing and experiencing some of the greenery and beauty of Edinburgh.

We had a lovely stay at Ceilidh's with our dog. Ceilidh had left plenty of small touches for us but also for our Louloute. Thank you again, thank you again for hosting her!

We had a fantastic stay at Ted’s place! The accommodation was clean, warm, and very comfortable, with modern furniture and everything in perfect working order. It’s in a great location — close to town and right next to a bus stop, which made getting around super convenient. Ted was incredibly friendly and proactive, providing us with all the information we needed ahead of time. Check-in and check-out were smooth and hassle-free. We really appreciated the thoughtful touches and hospitality. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend to others!

Carolyn is a great host. My family had the pleasure to meet her. She is very friendly. The property was so nice and clean and had all the amenities needed. It’s a comfortable place and everything we needed was nearby. My kids had a wonderful time.

Great place, great location and great host. The cafe below is very good too :)

We had a great time - we were able to walk both to observatory hill and to the meadows/university main campus. Beautiful place with great styling.

Would highly recommend. Easy transport links into Edinburgh. The apartment was perfect for our needs . Safe parking. Would definitely stay again.

I had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Edinburgh. The interior was incredibly cozy—thoughtfully decorated and inviting, making it the perfect space, quiet retreat that I felt like true home away from home I really recommend it!!

We stayed for 5 weeks, and their place felt like home from day one! The location is great in regard to day to day life, like grocery stores! If you want to go into the city center, it’s very easy as 3 different bus lines take you straight there! The bedrooms were comfortable and the couch was great too! Our kids loved the bunk beds! The kitchen was well equipped and had lots of storage! Being on the top floor was nice, especially during sunrise! If we are ever back in Edinburgh, we will definitely stay here!

Really lovely apartment! Ideal if you don’t want to stay in the city centre but still want easy access! Apartment was clean and well done. Nice little touch adding things like shampoo, body wash and towels. Thank you for a lovely stay x

The stay with Gergana and Radoslav met our expectations. The host was very friendly, communicated immediately, gave us a huge amount of information about what to do in Edinburgh, was interested in how we were staying, how the night was like, how we were feeling, which I highly appreciate. The apartment matched the photos exactly, was beautifully tidy, fragrant and clean. As other guests have written, the entrance may put someone off, but don't worry, being there will make up for it. We would recommend our hosts Gergana and Radoslav to anyone wanting to spend time in Edinburgh.

Kim’s home is absolutely beautiful and the surroundings are so peaceful. The park is lovely to walk around and the artwork in the tunnel is amazing. The shops ate all walking distance and quick and easy on bus to Edinburgh town. This is a beautiful home away from home

Liliana's place was comfortable and had everything we needed, and in a great location. She was very helpful and immediately available for any questions.

Lovely property - ideal location with all required amenities in walking distance and the centre being easy to get to via bus

Tara’s place is in a lovely quiet location. Spacious enough for 2 and had everything we needed for our stay. Bus stop is a short 2 minute walk away and takes you right into Edinburgh Princes street. Check in and out went smoothly. Tara was on hand if we needed anything. We enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again if we came back to Edinburgh.

We had a lovely stay. Sue was very quick to reply to any questions, and sorted out an issue with the remote control rapidly. We loved the peaceful views over the playing fields at the back, and the proximity to the bus stop/very quick Uber journey for trips into town. The apartment has the decor of a posh hotel, but the freedom of self-catering. Nice little cafes for breakfast a short walk away. Thank you Sue and Grant!

The apartment is in a good location with good transport link via bus and train for our stay in Edinburgh. Apartment was clean and well furnished. Sue was really helpful before our visit and responded quickly our questions. Would definitely recommend a stay here
