Cosy Edinburgh cottage, near Portobello
About this cottage rental
Nestled in Edinburgh, this charming cottage for $333 per night is a great option for your next break. St Margaret's Cottage offers cosy, self-catering accommodation in Edinburgh in an ideal location near Portobello on the east side. This detached cottage provides accommodation for up to four people, with open plan living/dining area fully fitted kitchen on the ground floor and two bedrooms (one double, one twin) and bathroom on the upper floor. This is perfect self-catering holiday accommodation in Edinburgh to explore the city, beach and countryside alike. One well behaved dog is welcome by prior arrangement only at time of booking. Owners must provide dogs bedding and towels and they are not permitted on furniture or beds and must not be left unattended in the property for any amount of time. An additional fee applies of £25 per stay which is paid directly to the property owner. NEW FOR APRIL 2021: We have used our lockdown time wisely and totally refurbished the kitchen and bathroom (now with a walk-in powerful shower rather than small bath). We've painted the front and put new furniture, fencing and taken down the large conifer trees in the back garden, so it's ALOT sunnier (we've also graveled over this area with Scottish pebbles).... There's also a new firepit for cosy outdoor lounging or BBQing- pics to follow.

Great spot for our family to stay for just shy of 3 weeks. Initially thought it was quite cosy and small (coming from Australia!) But it had everything we needed to be comfortable when in. We could cook or get takeaway from the neighbouring places. Excellent shower. Great communication with host Fiona when needed. Convenient location for us to visit relatives as well as get into city centre. Highly recommend.

The house was well equipped and nicely furnished. Its in a great location for bus journeys to Edinburgh and North Berwick and its handy having a Co-op (and Post Office)so close. The owners are very friendly and helpful - the guidebook that was available was very comprehensive. Overall we had a great time. Thank you

Lovely wee house, great location. Well cared for and had everything we needed, very comfortable. Website and information booklet would benefit from being updated as the property now has a fab walk in shower which would be a big plus for a lot of people. Would be good if there was more choice for the TV, perhaps Netflix or similar. Would definitely go back.

Lovely cottage in a great location
A lovely, really well equipped cottage in a great location for visiting Edinburgh and coastal areas. Nearby Kinnaird Retail Park for times you don't want to drive into Edinburgh, with restaurants, late shops, cinema. Lovely beachfront in walking distance. New covered shopping centre opened in Edinburgh, St James Quarter, with a massive car park underneath. So many places to visit, an amazing stay.

Lovely comfortable property in great location.
We had a great stay at St Margaret’s Cottage. It was clean, warm and comfortable with everything you needed. Having a car parking space was great too and an enclosed garden for our dog. Fiona was really helpful and friendly and responded to any questions quickly - nothing was to much trouble. The location was great, just a 15min walk to portobello beach, 10min walk to Figgate park and 20min drive to Edinburgh city centre. Misley Bay and Cramond Beach are also worth a visit, both within 30mins drive. Everywhere is doggy friendly which is fantastic. If your looking for a foody treat we would recommend the Bonnie Badger at Gullane, excellent food with a relaxed atmosphere. If we were to visit Edinburgh again we would be more than happy to stay again.
