How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 1 pet-mention guest review sourced from major booking platforms - guests who explicitly mentioned travelling with a dog. Each review is screened for pet-relevance, then judged for sentiment to compute the paw rating.
- Not a personal visit. We don't stay at every hotel we cover - we summarise patterns from real guest reviews, paraphrased and never quoted verbatim. Full standard on our editorial policy page.
- Wider context: The property has 79 guest reviews overall across booking platforms, averaging 9.7/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: July 2026. Policies and pricing drift; we re-check on a rolling basis. Confirm specifics with the property at the moment you book.
- How the paw rating works: Full detail on the methodology page, including the three verification gates and known limitations.

Pet-friendly summary
Midkinleith Farm Holiday Cottage is a dog-friendly self-catering cottage set above the village of Currie, on the rural southwestern edge of Edinburgh in the foothills of the Pentland Hills. It is a genuinely good fit for dog owners who want the best of both worlds: open hill walking straight from the door, with the centre of Edinburgh only around twenty minutes away.
Feedback from guests travelling with a dog is limited so far but positive. Visitors have described it as a comfy, clean and cosy cottage that welcomed their dog without fuss, and one family arriving after a long drive particularly appreciated the thoughtful welcome pack waiting for them. As this rests on a small number of reports, treat it as an encouraging early signal rather than a long track record.
As a self-contained cottage rather than a room in a shared property, it suits dogs naturally, with the Pentland Hills Regional Park on the doorstep for long walks and the Firth of Forth and east-coast beaches within easy reach. The quiet countryside setting is the main draw, balanced by quick access to the city, the airport and the summer festival.
Midkinleith Farm Holiday Cottage is best suited to dog owners who want a peaceful rural base with excellent walking on the doorstep and Edinburgh close by, rather than a city-centre stay. As the exact pet terms can change, confirm the current policy and any charges directly with the owners when you book.
