  • Cosy self-contained cabins half a mile from Pencaitland
  • Next to Railway Walk path and a bus stop for Edinburgh trips
  • Café on site, plus bike hire, bike storage and private firepit
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.

Liked: Great little space, lovely clean and well equipped. Positioned nice and close to Edinburgh but still felt more rural and quiet than staying in the city. Really lovely dog friendly cafe on site and walking routes very close by.

Disliked: We did have an issue with the boiler on our last night but were offered electric heaters and some compensation. No Wifi

From the manager: Thanks for the feedback Ryan. We do not allow smoking anywhere on site and I thought it was clear on the booking information and the email I issue to all my visitors. Your partner did smoke on site although it does say not too. Hope you are feeling better.

Beach Rose cabin

Liked: Absolutely loved our stay at rosehip hideaway. We stayed for 3 nights, Veronica was lovely and so helpful with planning our journey into Edinburgh. The location was quiet and peaceful, with Edinburgh City just an hour on the bus which was easy to get to. The beds were lovely and comfy, the cabin was spotless, and had everything that we needed.

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.
