Last Minute Cottages in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland and has a variety of different activities going on throughout the year. The most famous is the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the largest arts festival in the world. With a castle dominating the city, a host of art galleries, and underground vaults, there is a vast selection of activities to explore. Book a spur-of-the-moment getaway with your family or friends and enjoy a last-minute cottage in Edinburgh, a city bursting with life.

Reasons to Holiday in Edinburgh

Family-friendly Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle is Scotland's top paid-for tourist attraction, and you would be seriously missing out if you and your family didn't go. With the Crown Jewels of Scotland, the Stone of Destiny and the National War Museum of Scotland, there is a lot to do in one location. Arthur's Seat is great for getting the kids out and about. Walking up to the top of Arthurs Seat gives you one of the best views of Edinburgh and the surrounding area. There are also several different Harry Potter tours in the city. The Edinburgh Hop-on-Hop-off city tour bus is a fantastic way to see the city, especially on a sunny day from the open-top. After a day of exploring Scotland's capital, you could be a little tired. So get a great night's sleep in one of our professionally managed properties in Edinburgh.

Activities to do with friends

In Edinburgh, there is just as much to do with friends as family. There are whisky tours all over the city, from quite general Scotch tours to individual distilleries, learn the story of Whisky like never before. Explore the haunted vaults under Edinburgh's Old Town with an expert guide and learn how they were used, from shelters to persecution of witches, a gruesome tour underneath Edinburgh. Take a tour with professional actors through the pubs of Old Town and New Town as they act out the literary history of Edinburgh. After an excellent night out, go to bed safe in the knowledge that we only give you the best deal available, and if you need any help, our market-leading customer service team is on hand.

With a great mix of things to do in each area, it's hard to go wrong when renting a last-minute cottage in Edinburgh.

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.
