Set in the walled garden within the peaceful estate. Edinburgh Festival Glamping is a retreat that’s particularly popular among artists and festival-goers attending the festival fringe in August. Accommodation is in spacious bell tents (sleeping up to four guests) with all bedding supplied, so you can move straight in, get unpacked and soon be watching performances at venues throughout the city.
And of course this quiet spot is not just for festival fans; at 10 minutes to the city centre, it’s an affordable-friendly choice that’s handy for anyone wanting to see the sights of Auld Reekie.
On site you can expect convenient amenities like parking, shower rooms and a dedicated secret garden zone, barbecue area and charging points.
A range of takeaways, cafés and shops – from traditional Scottish pubs, shops to bakeries – are within 5 minutes’ walk from the site.
Guest access
Upon entering the main gates at the estate, the Edinburgh Festival Glamping entrance is just 100 yards ahead on the left. Signs will direct all guests.
Other things to note
If you’re visiting Edinburgh for the festival season, you’re just a short trip (10 minutes) from all the action of the Fringe, the mainstream International Festival and the Royal Military Tattoo. Take the number 45 or 10 bus (10-15 minutes by public transport) if you don’t want the hassle of parking before watching world-renowned concerts, stand-up comedy, reviews and street theatre at venues all over the city centre.
While you’re in Edinburgh, be sure to visit the landmark castle to learn about Scotland’s rich history. Afterwards browse whisky and tartan shops along the Royal Mile, take a guided tour of the Palace of Holyroodhouse or climb the volcanic plug of Arthur’s Seat for dramatic views over the city to the Firth of Forth.
When the weather’s good, hit the beach at Cramond (40 minutes) or Portobello (20 minutes), or have a stroll along the Water of Leith to check out the outstanding architecture of riverside Dean Village (40 minutes). Golfers will be happy that there are several courses within 20 minutes’ drive, and walkers can follow scenic hikes in the Pentland Hills (40 minutes).
