Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Scottish Borders

Just home today after a lovely stay at The Longhouse. We were a family group of seven adults (and one little dog) and the house was perfect for us. It was warm and cosy, very well equipped, modern, spacious and had everything we needed. Natalie was very helpful when I messaged her and replied immediately. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a stay at The Longhouse.

Die Unterkunft war wunderschön - wie auf den Bildern zu sehen! Die Lage ist sehr ruhig, aber dennoch nah an Edinburgh - wunderbar, um von dort aus in die Stadt oder mit dem Mietwagen in die Natur zu fahren. Unser Gastgeber war immer sehr gut zu erreichen und sehr freundlich. Ein Nachteil war (für uns) die Auffahrt: Durch den Schotteruntergrund sind die Reifen bei der Einfahrt durchgedreht und bei der Ausfahrt ist der Wagen trotz Bremsen weiter hinab getuscht. Das war etwas nervenaufreibend. Insgesamt würden wir diese Unterkunft aber in jedem Fall empfehlen!

An absolutely amazing location, brilliant stay and brilliant host - very accommodating and clear communication. Would absolutely go back, thanks Charlene for a great stay.

We had a fantastic stay at the Trail House. the cottage is perfectly located for walking and cycling in the glentress forest, and is walking distance to the local pub/restaurant. the house was perfectly set up for everything we needed, and Hayley was a super responsive and flexible host.

Nice surroundings for walks, etc, and it is close to Selkirk for amenities. Will stay again if require three bedrooms

Cottage is just above the bay - a short walk down steps to the beautiful beach and the path to St Abbs. Great for swimming and trying to spot a Minke whale, powerful hot shower for afterwards. Would come back.

We spent a lovely bank holiday weekend here, Marjorie was really responsive and welcomed us when we arrived. The house was lovely and clean, and we really appreciated the chocolates left for us! The house is in a beautiful location, easy to get to the local villages or even a day trip to edinburgh. We also had the joy of meeting some of the newly born lambs! Thank you Marjorie, we had such a nice stay!

A wonderful stay in a brilliant location. Tom and Anna were so welcoming, accommodating and easy to contact. The roost itself is a beautiful space with everything we needed. Thanks so much :)

Skye’dan bahsedecek olursak, Sorularıma hızlı ve net yanıtlar verdi. Bize erken geldiğimiz için esnek saat giriş imkanı sundu ve bu bizim için harika oldu. Anlayışlı olduğunu söyleyebilirim. Evde ihtiyacımıza yönelik bir çok şey vardı. Eksiklik hissetmedik diyebilirim. Ek olarak belki bir hızlı kahve makinesi koyulsa çok daha güzel olabilir. Ama yine de kahvesiz kalınmaması için filtre kahve malzemeleri bulunuyordu. Evin muhiti bir çok yere yakın. Güzel bir park var yakınında ve tam yanımızda market olması harikaydı. Olumsuz bir şey söylemek biraz zor ancak yine de eleştiri yapmak gerekirse belki de evde çok fazla dekoratif eşya bulunması konusu eleştirebilir. Onun dışında biz gayet memnun kaldık fiyat performans açısından bence gayet elverişli ve yeterli ayrıca temiz bir ev. Skye’a bizi ağırladığı için tekrardan teşekkür ederiz. 🙏🏻

Nous recommandons absolument le logement de Sue et Grant. L’appartement est typique, avec un magnifique bow window, un parquet ancien et une belle hauteur sous plafond, situé dans une rue calme mais à quelques pas seulement des commerces du quartier (nombreux cafés, restaurants de qualité, bars et supérettes) tout en se tenant à 15-20min en bus (ils sont réguliers) de l’hypercentre. Sue est très réactive et s’assure que tout se passe bien pour vous. Après des grandes balades c’était un plaisir de retrouver ce beau lieu de vie.

Beautiful accommodation in perfect location, 20 min walk from city centre. Great local pub and restaurants. super responsive host. Highly recommends

Booked at short notice we only stayed one night. We were looked after and the extra bed made up at short notice. The large apartment had everything we needed and the food in the fridge was greatly appreciated. I would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Edinburgh was the first stop on our Scottish road trip. Yvonne place is located a walking distance from all of the city attractions. It’s a very spacious apartment that served the family of 4 perfectly. The street is very quiet, you had an amazing breakfast place just at the corner, right next to a great pub and a grocery store. Yvonne herself gave a us an extremely warm welcome and she was super responsive before, during and after our visit. I can highly recommend staying with Yvonne!

A nice, private place in a quiet neighbourhood. Great if you want to be near but not in the hustle and bustle of the Old Town. The flat is very spacious. Two generous bedrooms, big living space, kitchen diner, bathroom and separate toilet... we were really impressed. It's extremely well equipped and comfortable - all the mod cons from the kitchen to excellent shower, comfy beds that are a dream, and blankets to chill on the couch with. A lot of nice touches to welcome you. We didn't need to bring any amenities which was really helpful for a backpack only kind of city break. There's no outside space included which was a shame, use of the garden is not permitted. The upstairs neighbours are early risers and so it's pretty noisy first thing, but other than that was very peaceful and a restful space. The host is super responsive when needed and leaves you to it otherwise which is nice. It was a good Edinburgh find, and we enjoyed staying here. Thanks!

Roy’s place was lovely. Very clean and comfortable, with all the things you could need for a stay. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. A very good placement with a bus stop about a 1 minute walk from the house and only taking about 30-40 minutes to walk to Princes St. The record player was very sweet - with lots of records to choose from - and beautiful big windows to let in lots of light. Everything was very functional and comfortable!

The description of the apartment is very accurate. The apartment was extremely clean and has some touches which makes you feel the owners want you to feel "at home". For example, leaving an umbrella or the availability of a couple of travel adaptors for electricity, etc... We also appreciated very much to be able to leave the luggage in the apartment and pick it up later in the check-out. Therefore we totally recommend it for anyone visiting Edinburgh and who does not mind to walk 20 min to reach the center.

Нам все понравилось , цена хорошая

we have just left Howford house after a lovely 3 night weekend stay to celebrate my husbands 40th. we were a family of 14 adults, 2 children and a newborn baby and we had the most peaceful comfortable stay. the house is fantastic, it has everything you need and the location although super private and peaceful, it was near restaurants, the coop supermarket, Traquair House and land which we got discounted because we were house guests, and lots of walks and hikes. the surrounding acres were stunning with the frost and autumn leaves. we all loved our stay, the kids (and the adults) didn't want to leave. special thanks to Elaine the housekeeper who was brilliant with her communication and help. we will recommend and be back in the future.

Nicks place was absolutely amazing! I will definitely be going back - hopefully at some point soon! The house was easy to find and so private - perfect for a large group who didn't want to bother any neighbours! It was ridiculously clean and had absolutely everything you could want. Everything was thought about - music systems, hot tub, karaoke, SO MANY FRIDGES! There was fantastic cooking facilities and everything you could need to cook. The coffee machine was very appreciated too. We didn't realise the house was in a dark sky reserve which meant the stars were soooo clear - helped that we had the best weather, day and night! The walks around the area were fantastic, local amenities were great and our overall stay was extremely memorable. Nick was exceptional, he even came over to help me out with the karaoke machine (which ended up being a "you just need to turn it on" scenario - sorry Nick) and nothing was too much trouble. ps. the beds were so so comfy and we all slept great!

The place was absolutely stunning. We were awestruck by the gorgeous interior. Visitors can expect a fantastic time staying in the accommodation. However, having a vehicle to travel is a must. There is parking available. Indoor heating (radiators) is provided in every room and common areas. Fireplace was used during our stay in the winter season. The host is very responsive and friendly. While the location provided is accurate. The drive up to the accommodation can erroneous as google map did not consider the closures at Forest Drive. Hence, it will be good to check with the host properly.

This house was exactly as advertised. Spacious and beautiful. Perfect for two families. Check in was easy and Jacki was very responsive.
