About this property

36 Highland Oak - sleeps 4 guests

Escape the noise and slow things down.
Set in a peaceful countryside setting just 3 1/2 miles from the city, our glamping site offers the perfect balance of nature and convenience.
Spend your days soaking up world-class comedy, theatre, and street performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival—then return to the calm of the countryside. Share stories in our communal spaces, explore the surrounding landscape, or simply enjoy the quiet.
This property is not suitable for children under the age of 2.

Wake to birdsong, breathe in fresh country air, and step outside to wide open views. Each beautifully furnished bell tent provides a cosy place to unwind, with thoughtful touches to make your stay relaxed and effortless.
As night falls, experience dark skies, crackling fire pits, and the kind of rest only nature can offer.
It’s the ideal base for Fringe adventures by day and countryside tranquillity by night.

Communal Areas
You’re welcome to enjoy our shared spaces throughout your stay, including:
The marquee – a covered communal area for dining, relaxing and socialising.
Fire pit area – perfect for cosy evenings under the stars
BBQs – available for guest use (you can purchase charcoal from reception) Please clean the utensils for the next guest to use.
These areas are shared with fellow guests, so we kindly ask everyone to be considerate and leave spaces clean and tidy for others to enjoy.
Fire Pit & BBQ Use
Fires and BBQs must be used responsibly and never left unattended
Please follow any on-site fire safety guidance
Quiet hours apply in the evenings so everyone can enjoy a peaceful night

Getting Around the Site
The site is easily walkable, with clear paths connecting tents and communal areas. Signage will help you find your way, and we’re always happy to help if you need anything.
We hope you enjoy the shared spaces as much as the private comfort of your tent — they’re all part of the glamping experience
