Edinburgh Festival Glamping sits in the walled garden at the peaceful Merchiston Castle estate, just a 10-minute drive from the centre – or hop on a local bus to reach the festivals and sights of Auld Reekie. The five-metre bell tents sleep up to four and come kitted out with beds, bedding and pillows (bring your own towels), plus they're lockable for peace of mind. Shared facilities include showers, toilets, wifi, a charging zone and a campfire area for chilled-out evenings. Security runs 24 hours, quiet time is 10pm to 7am with no amplified music, and barbecues are kept to designated areas – smoking, vaping and open fires aren't allowed within five metres of the tents. Away from the city's bustle, you'll feel tucked into a secret garden here. Reviewers award it a perfect five-star rating, praising its peaceful vibe and prime location for exploring Edinburgh's summer calendar. It can feel a touch strict on safety rules, but that's the trade-off for keeping everyone safe and the atmosphere serene. ## What's nearby - Topiary Coffee Shop 150m away - Farmshop Edinburgh 150m away - Mortonhall Garden Centre 200m away - The Stables at Mortonhall - Bar & Restaurant 300m away Distances as the crow flies, via Google ## Good to know ### Payment - ✓Credit cards - ✓Debit cards - ✓Contactless Details via Google — worth confirming with the site before you travel. ## Photos Photos via Google ## Can I bring...? ⛺ Tent pitches ✕ No 🚐 Caravans welcome ✕ No 🚌 Motorhomes welcome ✕ No ✨ Glamping available ✓ Yes 🛖 Lodges & statics ✕ No ## Lodges & pods - 🛖 30 x Spacious Bell Tent (Sleeps 4) ## Facilities 🚿 Hot showers ✓ 📶 Free WiFi ✓ 🏊 Swimming pool ✕ 🛒 Onsite shop ✕ 🎠 Children's play area ✕ 🍖 BBQs allowed ✕ 🔥 Campfires allowed ✕ 🧺 Laundry ✕ 🎣 Fishing ✕ 🛁 Hot tub ✕ ♿ Accessible facilities ✕ 🅿️ Hardstanding pitches ✕ 🍽️ Bar/restaurant on site ✕ 🚻 Toilets on site ✓ Bar or club house Covered terrace area Games room On-site cafe On-site restaurant On-site restaurant/cafe Play area Baby-changing facilities Food shop Free wifi Internet access Launderette Local produce Off licence Pick-up from public transport Picnic table ## Takeaway & food delivery Handy if you fancy a night off cooking — here's what delivers near this site. ### 🥡 Just Eat — 330 takeaways deliver to this postcode (EH16 6TJ) The Butter Chicken ★ 5.0 · Indian, Biryani SHAKEDOWN X ★ 5.0 · Burgers, Desserts Monetta Italian Kitchen ★ 5.0 · Italian, Pizza Sainsburys - Edinburgh Biggar Road Local ★ 5.0 · Groceries, Alcohol Majestic Wine, Comiston Road ★ 5.0 · Alcohol, Groceries Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [justeat.co.uk](https://www.just-eat.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ### 🛵 Deliveroo — 112 restaurants nearby McDonald's KFC Nando's Pizza Hut Delivery Papa John's Pizza Checked 26 Aug 2026 — always confirm on [deliveroo.co.uk](https://deliveroo.co.uk/) before ordering, as coverage can change. ## Nearest supermarkets Handy if you're self-catering or need to stock up on arrival. - Lidl, Edinburgh 1.2 miles - Aldi, Edinburgh 1.4 miles - Sainsbury's 1.4 miles - Morrisons 1.5 miles - Asda 1.6 miles - Tesco 2.4 miles - Co-op, Edinburgh 2.6 miles Straight-line distances — the drive will be longer.
