Holiday cottages in Edinburgh

Self-catering holidays in Edinburgh

Explore Scotland’s historic capital with a stay in one of our holiday cottages in Edinburgh. Steeped in history, culture and natural beauty, Edinburgh offers a magical city break year-round. Draped over a series of extinct volcanoes and rocky crags, this beautiful city overlooking the Firth of Forth offers a fascinating insight into Scottish history. 

Wander through the jumble of medieval buildings and cobbled alleyways in the Old Town and explore the imposing 12th century Edinburgh Castle perched on a rocky outcrop. Stroll the Royal Mile to find quirky gift shops and a wealth of restaurants and bars, interspersed with higgledy-piggledy houses and historic buildings. This superb city provides the ideal base to explore Scotland, whether on a romantic break for two, a family holiday, or a cultural escape with friends.

Dubbed the ‘Athens of the North’, Edinburgh has a reputation for high culture and is a UNESCO City of Literature. Stay in our Edinburgh accommodation during summer for the annual Fringe Festival, an arts event combining theatre, comedy, dance, music and spoken word.  From here, you can set off to explore more of Scotland’s majestic beauty. 

Venture north and stay in one of our Highland cottages to search for Nessie in Loch Ness or book a cottage in the Cairngorms to spot wildlife and find outdoors adventures. It’s easy to get to the islands too, with our holiday homes in the Isle of Arran offering mountainous landscapes, superb nature and delicious local produce.
