How this review was built Evidence, sources, refresh cadence
- Evidence: 3 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 129 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
WM Apartments at 21A West Mayfield is one of the best-rated dog-friendly self-catering options in Edinburgh - three separate pet-bringing guests have left near-perfect reviews, and the structural features make it clear why. The property has a gated garden (the gating matters - it's a secure off-lead space rather than the open shared-garden you find elsewhere), off-street parking, and the kind of detail-rich hosting that earns the 'one of the nicest self-catering accoms ever' framing one reviewer used.
The location at West Mayfield puts the property in south Edinburgh - residential, quieter than the New Town, with easy bus access to the city centre. For families with a dog who want the architectural character of a traditional Edinburgh property without the city-centre noise, this is a strong fit. The 9.6 Agoda rating across 129 reviews is exceptional - well above the typical 8.0-8.5 band for Edinburgh self-catering.
The hosts have been called out by multiple reviewers for thoughtful touches: a well-stocked welcome pack with breakfast supplies, lovely bedding and towels, Christmas decorations at festive bookings, and quick communication. The property is described as 'spacious', 'very well equipped', 'cosy in inclement weather' - a flat that's specifically designed to be home rather than a generic rental.
Where it suits
An excellent fit for families or couples with one or two dogs who want a high-spec Edinburgh base with secure outdoor space and a quiet residential setting. The gated-garden + off-street-parking + welcome-pack combination puts this above most Edinburgh self-catering at the same price tier. Best for guests who'll spend daytime in central Edinburgh and want to come back to a comfortable, well-equipped home for evenings. Highly recommended on the strength of the three-pet-review signal density.
