Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Morningside, Edinburgh

Levi’s place is located on Ravelston House Road, a peaceful area surrounded by greenery. The neighborhood is quiet and offers plenty of eye candy for nature lovers. You enter the house through a charming path lined with tall bushes, and at the end awaits a cozy, compact, and warm home. The place comfortably accommodates four people. The heating is excellent and easy to control—especially handy if you're not used to Scottish weather! The kitchen is fully equipped with all necessary appliances and silverware, making it easy to cook and feel at home. Both bedrooms are clean and tidy, and they receive so much morning light you might not even need an alarm. They also overlook the hidden gem of the property: the beautiful backyard, filled with flowers, bushes, tall trees, and even a pond! The location is fantastic—you can walk to the city center through expansive, evergreen gardens. And Levi is a fantastic host—responsive, helpful, and always eager to assist. 10/10, would stay again.

Great and clean house approximately 40 min. away from the city center. We were with the 4 of us and 2 of us had to sleep in the living room, but if you're not home that much that is not a problem at all. The neighbourhood was nice and quiet, and despite it not being close by any of the main tourist attractions of the city, the public transport to and from the city was relatively fast. The hosts were nice and easy to communicate with. Overall, a great place to stay! Would definitely recommend :)

Great place for our team. Working night shift so it was ideal, nice and quiet. Clare was great, very quick to respond to any questions I had.

Melissa’s place is amazing. 5 stars! There are a lot of wow characters in her place. The place is huge for just the two of us. The kitchen is spotlessly clean. It had everything we needed. The room is very comfortable and warm. We did not have to use public transport at all to get to all of the tourist spots. It is close to lots of the main sight seeing spots. Very convenient. Melissa is very friendly and helpful. She is very proactively with her communication. We supposed to contact her before we arrive but I did not read the instructions. She contacted us and sorted things. We only stay 2 days in Edinburgh, which we could stay for longer! Would stay in Melissa’s place again! Highly recommend it!

The house was even larger than the photos suggested. It is a beautiful renovated old farm building, not far out of Edinburgh but completely rural. The surroundings are very peaceful with plenty of walks. The bedrooms, bathrooms and living area are all comfortable and light, suited our purposes (work). We enjoyed a visit to Rosslyn Chapel, not far away.

We give the Water Tower 10 stars! Susan is remarkable! She has clearly thought lovingly of every detail of one’s stay, with great care and attention. What a rich experience! She and Gerry are warm, welcoming, generous and engaging, and yet also sensitive and respectful of individual needs for privacy. We felt so fortunate to be able to stay at their place and to get to know them a little bit! The fridge was stocked with milk, spreads, fresh fruit and a welcome bottle of wine, the cupboards with biscuits and homemade bread and muffins. Plenty of teas and coffees. A pleasing array of soaps and lotions and toiletries. Gerry’s beautiful paintings line the walls of the Tower, as well as the plans for the renovation, as he is the architect who brought this magical spot to life. Susan, a fine biologist, shared her gardening expertise , and we were happy to tour with her. Truly, we could not have felt more welcomed, nor more cared for. They went above and beyond. We are happy and grateful!

The apartment was perfect for the two of us. It was about a 10 minute walk to the tram and about the same to Old Town. Shops and restaurants were just around the corner. The apartment was clean, and there was bread on the counter and milk in the fridge when we arrived. The aparment is upstairs, so you do have to go up a flight of stairs. It was a delightful place in the heart of Edinburgh!

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.

The apartment was very comfortable. There were many snacks offered. The apartment is very close to a bus station to the city center. The host had good communication before the rental and was flexible with check in and check out. We had some trouble finding the place in the cold and rainy weather and she was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay.

Die Unterkunft hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Wir haben uns direkt wohl gefühlt! Es hat an nichts gefehlt. Jon ist ein super Gastgeber, er war sehr freundlich, hilfsbereit und zu jeder Zeit erreichbar. Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall empfehlen ☺️

ottima posizione per visitare Edimburgo, in un quartiere residenziale silenzioso e con tutte le necessità. A 10/15 Min di autobus dalla Old Town e dal centro città. Appartamento molto spazioso e con tutto l'occorrente per una vacanza. Glenn host molto disponibile e tempestivo nel rispondere a domande di ogni genere. Davvero consigliato!

Merci Mike et Pauline, tout était parfait : de l’accueil, à la propreté, mais aussi la clarté des infos et les recommandations ! Je recommande ce très bel appartement à quelques minutes du centre d’Edimbourg.

I was familiar with the area as it's where my father grew up so I chose this partly for sentimental reasons but also because Dalry is pretty close to the centre and Haymarket station. But the flat was great too, and as I rightly guessed it really was much better quality than the other options I saw elsewhere. I'll always find accommodation in the city expensive but this really was pretty much worth every penny. It met all my requirements. Compact but fully-equipped kitchen (with freebie tea bags, breakfast stuff etc.), really comfy bed (slept like a dream) and modern bathroom with proper shower. The whole flat was well furnished. While I was travelling alone this time, it would be ideal for 2 people too. I know my wife would have loved it. Fiona and Gareth were friendly and helpful in their communication with me, and always responded promptly. Everything was clearly outlined and explained. So to sum up, I genuinely enjoyed my stay here.

We will certainly stay here again when we come back. The location was perfect. Easy access to everything. Inside, it was a beautiful apartment. We wish we could have stayed longer.

Great place in Edinburgh! It is a little ways from the main downtown but that’s a good thing since the royal mile is way too crowded, loud and crazy. There are restaurants, coffee shops and a grocery store super close. The apartment is spacious, beautiful and comfortable!

We felt at home, everything needed for a comfortable stay. Very quiet area. City buses to downtown in short walking distance: 23, 36. Washer and dryer very helpful. I would stay again when visiting Edinburgh.

Jack's apartment is modern, clean, very smart and has everything you need. Easy to find, secure entry system and has free on site parking. Nice touches like milk in the fridge and shortbread and iron bru, plus Shampoos and shower gels too. Although on main road hardly any traffic after 7pm so very quiet. Bus stops literally outside the door with regular buses straight into the centre of Edinburgh and back again well into the night if you want to enjoy the nightlife which we did. Easy to get to all the attractions in and around the city. We loved staying here and would highly recommend and was really pleased Jack was the perfect host.

Thank you Kim! Your place is beautiful and the perfect spot for our trip to Edinburgh. We all had a lovely time and really appreciate your excellent communication and making us feel right at home!

Lovely flat in a perfect location. Easy access to all Edinburgh has to offer with lots of good restaurants and pubs nearby. Aria's flat was so comfortable, clean, and inviting and Aria was great at communicating. I'd highly recommend this flat and would happily stay again.

Annie's flat was lovely, located on the first floor. There are lots of restaurants, cafes and pubs near by. All very nice. The flat was exactly as described and the facilities were great and we had all the cutlery required to cook meals too. Bus stops into town and the airport were right outside. We walked into the city too which was very pleasant. The neighbourhood felt very safe.

We spent two nights at The Butler's Basement for my husband's birthday and it was an ideal base. We did have an issue getting in as the lockbox didn't work, but her son came down and resolved the issue. The apartment was very clean and in a great area - some lovely bars and restaurants that we preferred to spend time in, more than the busier side of Edinburgh. Gemma was very responsive to my messages and we also had a bottle of fizz in the fridge as well as some short bread and chocolate. It might be an idea to put a small bottle of milk in the fridge, as we did have tea and coffee provided but didn't want to buy a whole pint of milk to make a couple of drinks. However it certainly wasn't an issue that would stop us staying again!

Aileen was an amazing host! The place was amazing and in a perfect location. Everything about the apartment was awesome. I would recommend staying here if it’s available. I will definitely be looking to stay here again next time I am in Edinburgh!

We really loved our stay at Roy’s place! Roy and Selena were super nice and helpful. The apartment was very clean and bright and we loved the vinyl collection. It was right next to a bus stop that has frequent buses to the city centre.

We enjoyed staying in Dora’s flat very much. It was very clean and well stocked with essential items but also thoughtful extras such as phone chargers (I had forgotten mine). We were in a great location for travel into Edinburgh and also for buying food and drink. We also felt very welcome in the local pubs. A special thanks to Dora for arranging a car parking space near to her flat. I would definitely stay again next time I’m in Edinburgh. Thanks Dora!
