Edinburgh Holiday Cottages & Castles
Most holiday cottages are located around Edinburgh, not in the city itself so you will need a car as public transport is not reliable in more rural areas although there is also the option to rent an apartment in the city centre (See below). Most cottages or houses are likely to be self-catering with nearby pubs if you wish to eat out.
Below we have listed a few self-catering country cottages near Edinburgh with a link that takes you to another site to check availability and view other available cottages that can be rented. To view on a map cottages and castles to rent around Edinburgh click here.
