The detail

These cosy hideaways are nestled at the foot of the Pentland Hills, a 20-minute drive from the buzzing, historic city of Edinburgh. The Secret Hideaway is home to four glamping lodges, which are all perfectly positioned to make the most of their incredible lakefront setting, whilst still retaining their own privacy.

The lodges each sleep two guests and are situated in some private parkland that's attached to Glencorse House. Guests have access to the lake and the surrounding countryside, which offers lots of opportunities for scenic walks, bracing bike rides and visits to a number of attractions.

Each of the lodges has been purpose-built using natural materials making use of award-winning design. You and your loved one can enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in the super-king size bed, that’s made up with luxurious Egyptian cotton bedding, before waking up and drinking your morning coffee on the deck whilst taking in the views of the lake.

The deck also has a dining table providing you with the perfect place to dine alfresco in the fresh country air, before hopping into your own Scandinavian hot tub for a luxurious soak and a glass of bubbles.

Guests staying at each lodge can also make use of the Nespresso coffee machine, and they also come equipped with a kettle, mini-fridge, crockery, cutlery and glassware. The lodges also feature ensuite wet rooms with a toilet and a shower and complimentary luxury toiletries.

If the weather turns bad or you just want to cosy up with your partner, each lodge also has a smart TV that’s perfect for box set marathons or movie nights in. There’s also a bluetooth speaker, should you wish to play your own tunes as you get ready to start the day.

When it comes to filling up your day, you’re ideally placed to explore the marvellous surrounding countryside of the Scottish Borders. Venture out on bracing walks or hop on your bike and explore the area on two wheels. You’re also close to some delightful local restaurants and cafes, with the beaches of East Lothian just a short drive away. You’re also just a 20-minute drive from Scotland’s thriving capital city Edinburgh, which is home to incredible places to eat and drink as well as some amazing historical sites.
