Our Edinburgh Airbnb cancelled. Any other sites to check?

Posted by (Savannah) on

We leave for Scotland tomorrow and our Airbnb in Edinburgh cancelled on us last night(due to a death in their family). I have checked the usuals, Airbnb, VRBO, Priceline, Expedia, Travelocity, etc. Are there any Edinburgh or Scotland websites I should try? I see the Index on Undiscovered Scotland, but there is no way to check availability without contacting each place individually. We need space for 3 people and need parking for our rental car, so, that rules out quite a bit of the accommodations.

We are not completely stuck as I have a hotel room as back up just in case, but we had hoped to have more space and a more authentic experience with the airbnb or even bed and breakfast.

Try this site - the website is vouched for by several people here on this forum, and has a list of guest houses, self-catering and B&Bs on their website by area. The link below takes you to Edinburgh - the top entry or entries are sponsored places, but below that is a multi-list of places. I found two places that I have booked for next year here (in other areas). It's a bit cumbersome to go through but has a lot of options.

Though we typically use HomeAway/VRBO -- and have booked several locations for our upcoming trip, I stumbled across www.gaelholidayhomes.co.uk.

I was simply googling reviews around a property in Inverness we saw on VRBO, and the same property -- through Gael Holiday Homes popped up for less than the HomeAway/VRBO listing. So we booked that -- but haven't yet stayed there.
