Last Minute Cottages in Edinburgh

Scotland's cultured capital has an array of events and attractions that make it a popular year-round destination. From the Fringe Festival in the summer to Hogmanay in winter, you can always enjoy the historic castle and Holyrood Palace, which bookend the Royal Mile in the charming Old Town. A spur-of-the-moment getaway in Edinburgh is both fun and easy with our selection of self-catering cottages in and near the city.

Reasons to Holiday in Edinburgh


Family-friendly Edinburgh


A day at Edinburgh Castle makes seeing the Crown Jewels of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny and the National War Museum of Scotland all in days work for history lovers, while youngsters will love the crash and bang of the gun salutes on selected days and times.

A hike to the top of Arthur's Seat is great way to burn off some energy, with the panoramic view of Edinburgh from the top making it well worth the effort. Though if you want to sit down and see the city at the same time then the Hop-on-Hop-off tour bus is the best way, especially from the open-top, weather permitting.

Activities to do with friends


Edinburgh is famous for whisky and there are tours all over the city. From general Scotch appreciation tours to individual distilleries, brush up on your whisky knowledge. Explore the reportedly haunted vaults under Edinburgh's Old Town with an expert guide and discover the dark and gruesome side of the City's history. Literary pub tours with professional actors are popular in Edinburgh, allowing you to be enlightened, entertained and increasingly inebriated all at the same time should you wish.

Where to stay in Edinburgh


Areas of Edinburgh


Edinburgh is a city filled with smaller, almost mini towns, each very different from the next and with a great mix of things to do in each area, there is sure to be a neighbourhood for you.

Areas to stay in Edinburgh


New Town is a gorgeous Georgian area of town with parks and incredible architecture.

Stockbridge is north of New Town, filled with delicious restaurants, homely bakeries, and fashionable bars.

Old Town is just south of New Town and is peppered with restaurants and bars. Edinburgh Castle is its main attraction.

Leith is Edinburgh's buzzy port district. With young tourists and locals mixing, it's a vibrant place dotted with seafood restaurants and classic pubs.

What our customers say about their holidays

  • Sisi We - Verified booking

    Das Haus war wirklich toll, die Schlafzimmer geräumig mit großen Kleiderschränken. Die Betten waren bequem und wirklich sehr sauber, selbst die Kissen waren bequem. Es waren auch viele Bügel in den Schränken. Das Badezimmer war auch sehr sauber und die Temperatur ließ sich gut regeln. Es ist eine Badewanne im Bad, in der man auch duscht. Für uns kein Problem, für ältere Leute eventuell ein Problem. Die Handtücher waren auch sehr sauber. Seife war vorhanden das Toilettenpapier reichte bis zum letzten Tag. Es gab auch ein Reinigungsmittel. Die Küche war gut ausgestattet, es gibt sogar einenGefrierschrank. Töpfe, Pfanne, Besteck, alles da was man benötigt. Waschmaschine, Spülmaschine auch da dazu auch Waschmittel und Spülmittel. Das Wohnzimmer war gemütlich mit mit viel Platz für alle. Im Wintergarten gab es einen Esstisch den wir aber nicht benutzten weil es doch etwas sehr kalt im Januar war. Wir konnten aber auch gut im Wohnzimmer essen. Wir haben uns wirklich sehr wohl gefühlt und würden es weiterempfehlen oder selbst noch mal wiederkommen. Verbesserungsvorschläge: 2 Decken im Wohnzimmer um sich einzukuscheln. Die Lage war sehr gut 30 Minuten zum Zentrum, Bushaltestelle und einkaufen 5 Minuten zu Fuß. Die Schotten waren alle sehr freundlich und höflich. ÖPNV super.

    Positives. The beds were very comfortable and it was quiet.

    Niggles. We were cold! And it was only October! Each room has an electric panel heater but these were inadequate. There were no instructions how to programme them (they were all different) so we couldn't set them to come on just before we returned. The door into the upstairs shower room catches on the bedroom carpet making it very stiff. There was no shelf or towel rail near the shower nor a bath mat. No cleaning materials in shower room nor bathroom. WiFi only worked in sitting room. Sofa in sitting room very soft so 2 people slid onto each other. No key to go out onto patio. No where sensible to store food in kitchen. No vacuum or long handled brush to clean floor. There was a Ewbank type floor cleaner but they never work well. No floor mop. Microwave had sticker showing it should have been PAT tested in 2021. Sticker on fridge unreadable. One or two niggles would be ignored but there were too many. In general holiday cottages are pretty well fitted and looked after but this one needed some attention.

    Experience of a lifetime!

    I do not have words to accurately describe what a beautiful home and gracious and friendly host the owner Sally is. Our time in this beautiful home was just about as perfect as it could be. The home is super spacious with 5 large bedrooms, all with en suite bathrooms. The kitchen is fantastic for preparing large meals, we ate there almost every night with more than 8 people at each dinner, and the Orangery is very cosy. The weather was perfect while we were there and so we spent hours at the outdoor dining table, sitting around the fire late at night and enjoying the swim spa. My children spent hours in the garden with the chickens and just generally running around the high, safe and quite grounds, and we even hired a local fisherman to help the kids fish for a couple of hours. The owner, Sally was amazing. So friendly, so helpful. Available when we needed her but left us alone at other times. We absolutely loved you Sally. Book this home, you will have an experience of a lifetime. Wonderful.

    Absolutely beautiful home

    Our family of 9 adults (3 generations) could not have asked for a more perfect stay in Scotland. Logan Manor is beautifully appointed with all the comforts of home. We were greeted by the owners, Sally and Terry who could not have been more welcoming and gracious. This beautiful country home provided a relaxing retreat after a long day of sightseeing. We thoroughly enjoyed the chickens who live on the property and the eggs they provided. The property offers over 3 acres of privacy yet it is only a 15 minute walk into the town of Dalkeith or to the beautiful Dalkeith County Park. Edinburgh is a short 20 min taxi drive away or you can do as the locals and take the bus. Sally was so helpful with assisting us in making transportation arrangements, providing dining and online grocery recommendations. We highly recommend staying at Logan Manor, you will not be disappointed. Thank you Sally and Terry for a wonderful stay in your home.
