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: 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.

Summary: We loved the location and the home. Would highly recommend.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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

Summary: 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.
