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.
