How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 5 pet-mention guest reviews sourced from Agoda - 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 84 Agoda guest reviews overall, averaging 9.6/10 - the paw rating reflects only the pet-mentioning subset.
- Last refreshed: June 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
Number 70 in Portobello is one of those Edinburgh holiday homes where the dog-friendly welcome isn't just permission - it's a thoughtful welcome pack. Guests with dogs consistently mention small touches like dog treats left alongside the human welcome pack, an enclosed back garden of good size, and hosts who think about what dog families need before being asked. That kind of attention to detail is rare among self-catering rentals where pets are usually allowed-but-not-considered.
The location is one of the strongest dog-friendly bases in the Edinburgh area. Portobello beach is a few minutes' walk away - one of Edinburgh's best stretches for dog walking, with the eastern section dog-friendly year-round. Brunstane train station is also a couple of minutes on foot, putting Waverley and central Edinburgh one stop away. That combination - quiet residential neighbourhood at the door, beach in walking distance, train to the city for sightseeing - is hard to find at any price point in Edinburgh.
The property itself is a spacious three-bedroom home with off-road parking for two cars, a well-equipped kitchen, and a comfortable layout for families or couples travelling together. The hosts leave a generous welcome pack (bread, milk, eggs, coffee pods, snacks) that means you can arrive late and not worry about groceries until the next morning. As a base for an Edinburgh trip with dogs, it punches well above its sub-£200/night price range.
Where it suits
An excellent fit for couples or small families travelling with one or two dogs who want an Edinburgh base with both city access and beach/dog-walk options on the doorstep. The sole-occupancy format makes it especially comfortable for nervous or vocal dogs who'd struggle in a hotel with shared corridors. Best for guests who plan to combine Edinburgh sightseeing days with downtime in Portobello rather than fitting Edinburgh into a non-stop city trip.
