Portobello House | 2 Mins Walk from Edinburgh's Best Beach!

4 Bedroom House in Portobello, Edinburgh

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!

Summary: We had a brilliant stay in a house with everything that is needed and able to accommodate 8 adults with ease and comfort. The price and location make it an absolute must whilst Patrick and Roslyn add the personal and extremely helpful touch. We will be back, thank you.

Summary: The house was brilliant and felt like a home. It was warm and comfortable and had everything we expected and more. The location was brilliant with lots of place to eat and drink on the doorstep. There’s also a supermarket a few minutes walk away. The bus service into Edinburgh city was so easy to use and very frequent. Communication was excellent. Parking outside the house was challenging but there’s plenty of other options. This is one of the best holiday homes we’ve rented and we will be back!

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!
