Fitness-friendly vacation rentals in Scottish Borders

Salma was a great host. Always responsive and friendly. Very flexible with check in. The flat was perfect for my daughter and I visiting friends and family at university. Plenty of room. Great location to all the city offers, on foot. Very clean. Very comfortable beds. We would highly recommend Selma’s flat. It has everything you could need. We will be sure to stay here again when we come back.

the accommodation was clean and exactly what was described and walkable to Colgate 20 minutes. lots of useful shops and restaurants around. A bit pricey but a great location

It is a very suitable accommodation for a family trip. Everything is prepared. It is convenient for sightseeing as it is close to the tram station. Gill responds quickly and is kind. I recommend this accommodation, and I would like to come here if I have a chance to visit again next time.

We had a very nice stay. The appartment is beautiful and well equipped. We particularly enjoyed the large kitchen - a nice place to prepare food and to sit together. Bus connections are excellent. Gill, the host, did everything possible to make her guests happy. That was really great.

We had a lovely stay in the cosy property, it is quite central - just a five-minute walk from Haymarket station. Restaurants and shops are within walking distance. Any questions we had were answered very quickly. Thank you!

Amazing Stay! I had a great experience staying at Jack and Dawn’s Airbnb. Dawn handled all communication and was very responsive and helpful, making the process smooth. The place was clean, exactly as described, and easy to check into. The neighborhood was nice, quiet, and had a very relaxed atmosphere—it truly felt like home. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and welcoming stay.

Ideal location, clear instructions with videos and easy check in.

I spent nearly four months in Wendy's accommodation. I had a great time there! The apartment itself offers great views, and the room is very comfortable. It is easily accessible by bus and has a good connection to the city centre and main University Campus, as well as being close to a big supermarket and the beach. Being on the outskirts of the city and by the sea, it made it very easy to find peace, walking along the beach or visiting my personal favourite place, Newhailes Estate. For those coming to study here: the bus connection to the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings is not great, especially on the way back, and if you'll have to be there a lot I'd recommend getting a bicycle, which is about twice as fast. Wendy is a very friendly host, who is usually not home during the day but if you run into her and she has time she will be open for a chat - for example sharing stories or music. She loves baking, and might leave something she made in the fridge for you!

Loved the apartment. It is compact but the two bedrooms provided for some space. Was a reasonable walk to the sighs like Arthur’s seat, the Meadows, Royal Mile, etc. lots of places to eat in the area.

Great location, a lot of things to do nearby, and close to the main sites of the city

Our stay was amazing! Everything is very central to the flats location and easy access to book routes, grocery stores, restaurants and pubs. Gill was a fantastic host and would 100% book again.

Absolutely fantastic hosts! and perfect location in Edinburgh, literally a tram or bus ride from the centre and really lovely neighborhood. Can't fault Sue or her husband on their hosting, we were treated as part of the family.

Honestly I cannot thank kamil enough. Above and beyond for his guests. I would DEFINITELY recommend to ANYONE!!!!

Kamil, was a fantastic host. As I was his first long stay rental he outlined his rules. Respect to privacy but also sociable and volunteered to take me with him when he did grocery shopping or going for take out meals. His place felt like a second home, and asked me before going into the room I rented if he had to access items stored there. The keyless door lock and outdoor camera made me feel secure. With the kitchen I had my own cupboard space as well as space in the fridge and freezer for my food, as well as instructed me in the use of the cooker and washing machine ( different from Canada).

We booked Susannah's property to host a family get together with people travelling from as far away as New Zealand. The property turned out to be perfect for the 5 of us but would have been just as perfect for 8. This property is clearly someone's home, it has a completely different feeling to many of the antiseptic business properties that we have stayed in before and I felt this was entirely positive. The decor is great and the facilities even better with 3 large bathroom's offering great showers. The location was perfect for exploring Edinburgh as it was well served by the excellent bus system with the tram available for longer journeys. It would also be walkable to the centre of town but we chose to save our energy for exploring. We never failed to find parking nearby when required but chose to leave our cars in the free park & ride carpark that was accessible via a £2 bus. I cannot recommend this property too highly and would definitely return again if numbers required.
