  • Cosy self-contained cabins with firepits, half a mile from Pencaitland
  • Next to Railway Walk path and a bus stop for Edinburgh trips
  • Café, outdoor kitchen and bike hire and storage on site
A cosy cabin where you’ll feel like you’re completely immersed in the splendid Scottish countryside – and yet you’re within easy reach of all manner of walks, beaches, golf courses… and even one of the world’s great cities? If you like the sound of that, let the roads of East Lothian lead you to Rosehip Hideaway, a lovely little glamping site about half a mile from Pencaitland. The village is handily about a 10-minute walk away for a small supermarket and a pub/restaurant, but on site you’ll feel like you’re totally tucked away among rural surroundings. This is a fabulous location for exploring East Lothian – it’s just next to the Railway Walk path and cycle route 196, taking you to Carberry, Penicuik and Glenkinchie Distillery without any need to drive (bike hire and secure bike storage are available on site). Another car-free day out might involve hopping on the bus for the 50-minute journey into Edinburgh from the stop just outside the site. Wherever you roam, you’ll be in for a relaxing time back at your cabin – they’re kitted out with comfy beds (and quality bed linen), an ensuite shower room and a kitchenette. Each one also has its own outdoor seating area, and there’s also a covered communal seating area decked with festoon lights. Each unit also comes with a firepit to keep you warm on chilly nights (the team can provide a basket of logs, kindling and natural firelighters to get you going). The cherry on top of all this? The site has its own café, serving up proper coffees and a varied menu of breakfasts, lunches and baked goodies. There is also an outdoor kitchen with a hob and microwave on site.

What customers say

Rosehip Hideaway: cosy cabins, handy for Edinburgh. Locals rave about Veronica's hospitality & site's location. Cabins are good, though a few punters wanted better cooking gear, WiFi & comfier beds. Cafe's a big hit.

Helen B.

Beach Rose cabin

Liked Cosy, clean and quiet cabins. Everything was so beautifully kept and our host, Veronica, gave us such a warm welcome.

The accommodation is well sited for public transport and walking routes. Just 15 mins country walk to a lovely pub and a bus ride into Edinburgh. Perfect.

Peace Rose cabin

Liked Peaceful.
Lots of nature.
On the doorstep of cycle paths.
Clean.
Homely, with cushions, blankets and lighting.
Friendly, welcoming, informative host with lots of local knowledge.
Good shower.
Good temp control.
Reading light of the bed wall was brilliant idea - intend to get one of these for home.

Disliked The sofa wasnt very comfortable because of it being a bed settee and had a metal frame which was not cushioned well.

Beach Rose cabin

Liked The cabins were cosy even though we stayed during Storm Darragh! Great spacious hot shower. Very clean, everything felt brand new.
We got the train from Wallyford which has a big park&ride car park then only 10-15 mins into the centre of Edinburgh.
Friendly welcome from Veronica and in the onsite cafe is good too.

Disliked Maybe a radio would be good?

Local attractions

A dram of Scottish whisky is an essential experience – and that’s easily accessed here, as it’s only two miles’ walk or bike ride to Glenkinchie Distillery for a tour and a tasting (and perhaps a bottle for a fireside drink later in the evening). In the other direction, a half-hour walk gets you to Winton House for walking trails through the grounds. Fancy a round of golf? You’ll have plenty of choice, as there are about 15 courses in the surrounding area. For other ways to get out into the fresh air, get out to one of the nearby beaches – Gullane, Yellowcraig and North Berwick are all within a half-hour drive. You could easily combine one of these with a stop to see the excellent plane collection at the National Museum of Flight (20 minutes’ drive). A day out in Edinburgh should certainly be on the schedule too – it’s easy to get there by bus from the site to climb up to the castle, tour the Royal Botanic Garden and visit the various museums.
