About this house rental

This is a wonderful, spacious, traditional seaside townhouse, built at a time when wealthy Edinburgh families also bought a house by the sea in order to cool off on those hot summer days.

Laid out over 3 floors, the wide staircases are a feature, particularly the winding staircase between the first and second floors (note; they're a bit too wide for standard stair gates, so may not be ideal for young children). The Living Room is positioned on the first floor, as was the norm for the time, with 3 large windows that let the light stream in. From the top floor there are views over the roof tops to Arthur's Seat from the front and across the Firth of Forth to Fife at the rear.

The house offers 4 bedrooms, Living Room, Dining Room, Kitchen, Family Bathroom with Jacuzzi bath, a WC on each floor, full gas central heating, high pressure hot water system, Primary Bedroom with ensuite, WiFi, Smart TV, travel cot, high chair, iron and ironing board, hair dryers, linen and towels. Hopefully everything you need!

Patrick couldn’t have been more helpful in anticipation of our visit. The house is very well equipped, beds comfortable and spotless, showers lovely and hot. The bus service is minutes away direct to the city and plenty shops/bakeries nearby for provisions. The only mark-down is on the ‘child-friendly’ question which Patrick answers in the description of the property so on your own head be it! The stairs not suitable for stair gates would be the only issue with smallies - otherwise a great spot near the beachfront with the kids. We all enjoyed our stay and the friendly host Roslyn was lovely too. Many thanks!

Great house in a perfect location for family gathering. Patrick was really helpful as was his neighbour who let us in and called us after we left as we had forgotten a piece of luggage.

An absolutely wonderful home for a large family or group of friends to stay at! There were 7 of us in our party and the home was a great size for us. All of us having beds, ease of use of the restrooms, and a dining room large enough to accomodate those late night meals after a day exploring the city. Couldn't have been better for us!

Wonderful home that is very well equipped. Great location with easy access to downtown (via bus) and the beach (you are there). Wonderful host and very clean

Cannot say enough good about the property. Firstly, we were Not downtown Edinburgh, which whilst delightful, is tiring and retreating to the coastal stay was so welcome. A close walk to the beach, lovely bistros and shops. Downtown Porto Bello has everything you need, and the coop is half a block from the house. I really couldn't have planned it better. The one year old loved the playgrounds and beach and so many dogs. I loved coming back to the house after a long touring day and eating well in our well appointed kitchen and having a quiet retreat away from the glitz of Prince Ave. Interior was interesting as the original building design is left in place. The parlor is lovely and the dining room was great to gather the family. We didn't spend time outside garden behind the house as the weather was so beautiful it was usually dark on our return. The beds were firm and bedding was lovely. We had room to chill out (baby needed naps) and again, so close to everything. Also, the bus to town is direct and pleasant and we parked the car and didn't move it till we went to Bannockberg. So nice not having to find parking downtown. As you can tell, we really enjoyed the house, the area and the people. Thank you Patrick and your neighbor too!

Every now and then you come across a place that is so amazing that you actually consider NOT recommending it to others just so you can keep it to yourself.This place is a slice of heaven. Comforable, cozy, clean with a full kitchen. Next to Portobello beach, which was perfect for morning strolls with Lorne rolls and a coffee in hand. Close enough to Edinburgh to do all the touristy stuff but far enough away to avoid the crowds.

10.0 / 10.0

Beautiful house to stay in. Everything you would need was there. Such a well equipped kitchen, comfy lounge and very comfortable beds. A few minutes walk from the beach. Local buses near by to explore the area. A perfect break away for a catch up with family. Would definitely recommend staying here.

This incredibly charming house was ideally located in a quaint and perfectly located neighborhood steps, from the beach, amazing restaurants and shops and within a short commute from tourist, destinations. This was a perfect place for our once in a lifetime visit to the UK.

This place was in a quaint location. Super quiet and close to the beach. Very clean and spacious. Very well maintained and overall amazing. Kitchen was very well equipped! Manager was so nice and welcoming. There’s even a store a couple min walk away for groceries. Bus stop was a short walk also and a short commute into downtown Edinburgh.

A beautiful house with loads of charm and character, in an absolutely gorgeous town. Very clean and with everything we needed. Patrick was always quick to reply to any messages and friendly and helpful and the check-in was easy.Luckily we didn’t have a problem finding a parking space and they do seem to come and go throughout the day. Would definitely come back to both this property and to Portobello. Portobello is a very chilled place with a happy vibe and loads of very happy doggies on the beach! Loved it. Thank you.

This property was beautiful, in design, comfort and cleanliness. It was so close to the beach and other amenities. There are a lot of stairs as it is over 3 floors and as the description states, they are wide so a stair gate won't fit, so if you have very young children, this is something to be mindful of but we managed OK with 2 under 5's. The outside space is small in relation to the house, but it was lovely to have it and was nice enough to be able to sit outside.. We were very lucky with the weather so that we could use it. The kitchen is very well equipped and modern. We were lucky enough to get a parking space each (2 cars) and we used buses to get around to do all our sightseeing. The bus stops are very handy and close to the property. There were 8 of us staying for 4 nights, 6 adults and 2 children and there is plenty of space so that you didn't feel cramped. Would 100% recommend. Thank you to Patrick and Roslyn for your great communication. Hope to come back again.

Patrick's house in Portobello was an excellent choice for our group of 7 while attending a family wedding in Edinburgh last weekend. The layout of the house with bedrooms and bathrooms on 3 levels, a spacious living room, dining room and kitchen meant we had plenty of space to hang out together or be apart if we so wished. We had everything we needed and wished we could have stayed longer to take advantage of the attractive outside space and all the comfortable spaces inside. Patrick was very responsive when we requested some flexibility with checkout and Rosalyn (living nearby) was available to immediately address an issue we had with hot water. The location was excellent, minutes to the high street and beach by foot. And parking on the street outside was easy and convenient. Overall a great experience and highly recommended.

Our family very much enjoyed our stay in Portobello. The house was great and there a number restaurants, pubs, stores nearby. Portobello provides a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Edinburgh, but all of the iconic sites in Edinburgh are only a quick bus ride away. We would highly recommend this property and look forward to coming back in the future.

Fantastic sized house able to accommodate 2 families The house was well equipped, we were able to access the house slightly early which was massive benefit after 7 hours of travel Parking was a bit tricky, but the proximity to the beach and overall quality of the accommodation more than compensated Grateful for the owners having us stay. Thank you

As a family of 5 including 2 couples and one single adult, this home was perfect. We all had bedrooms on separate floors and the second floor living room was a comfortable space to spend time together. The home’s location right by the beach with many restaurants was also lovely. *Note that if you are looking to see the tourist attractions in Old Town, you will have to take a bit of a bus ride to and from, and the traffic can make it a longer ride depending on time of day. But in many ways it’s nice to be away from the crowds and in the quiet beach and neighborhood setting. There are several grocery stores within blocks of the home and a large, well stocked kitchen. Also note that the washing machine is only a washer, not a dryer, but there is a large clothes line above the 2nd floor stairs that worked well. We had a very small issue with hot water one day but the host was very quick to respond and sent a neighbor over who got the issue resolved the issue right away. All in all highly recommend!

Beautiful home!! It was my husband and I and three adult daughters. With four bedrooms, very well stocked kitchen, comfortable living room, dining room and patio…..we couldn’t have asked for anything more!! Best bud system only 2blocks away. Download the Lothian Bus app. Their buses go everywhere you would want to go. It’s like GPS for busses, you can even buy tickets ahead of time. Close to bus stop, which is the only way to travel if you don’t drive on the left side!!! Two blocks to the beach and promenade. Definitely recommend the Beach House restaurant..best breakfast ever!!! Patrick and Roslyn responded quickly and provided helpful information and amazing hospitality. The price is well within reason and doesn’t break the bank!! Thank you for making our trip to Scotland so memorable!!! I highly recommend this property to anyone!!! Thank you.

The house was great! We loved the second floor sitting room and the proximity to the beach. There was a delicious bakery very close by. Our flight was very delayed and we didn't arrive at the house until much later than anticipated and Patrick was very responsive to our plight. The only drawback to the house might be the parking but we used public transportation and didn't pick up our rental vehicle until the day we left,

Very welcoming home on 3 levels. Was beautifully decorated with quirks and style but also very well kitted out in the kitchen. Great heating, hot water, relaxing lounge, great kitchen and comfy beds with lovely white linens.

The house was exactly as promised , and suited everyone in my family party . It would have been lovely to have made use of the garden area but the elements were against us in early February.
