Enjoy a unique glamping experience on Drum Estate, just 10 minutes from Edinburgh’s city centre and Fringe venues. Our 5m Bell Tents include foam beds, bedding, and pillows for a restful stay. The site offers a bar, chill-out area, gaming machines, charging tables, and a firepit. With on-site parking, 24-hour security, and easy public transport, it’s a perfect retreat. Bedding is provided, with weekly changeovers, ensuring comfort throughout your stay. The space Smoking, vaping, and open flames are not allowed within 5 meters of the Bell Tents. BBQs are permitted in designated areas only. Bins will be provided for all guests. Please note, no amplified music is allowed between 10pm and 7am. The campsite is a quiet zone from 11pm onwards to ensure a peaceful environment for all. Set in a tree-dotted field on the peaceful Drum Estate, Edinburgh Festival Glamping is a rural retreat that’s particularly popular among artists and festival-goers attending August’s world-acclaimed arts jamborees in Edinburgh. Accommodation is in spacious bell tents (sleeping up to five guests) with all bedding supplied, so you can move straight in, get unpacked and soon be watching performances at venues throughout the city. And of course this quiet spot is not just for festival fans; at 10 minutes’ drive (or 25 minutes by bus) south-east from the centre of Edinburgh, it’s a budget-friendly choice that’s handy for anyone wanting to see the sights of Auld Reekie or simply craving a relaxing countryside break. On site you can expect convenient amenities like secure parking, shower rooms and a dedicated chill-out zone equipped with a bar, barbecue area, gaming stations and charging points. Staying at the glampsite also allows you access to walking trails on the Drum Estate. A range of takeaways, cafés and shops – from traditional Scottish pubs to artisan bakeries – are within 10 minutes’ drive of your pitch, and there’s a convenience store five minutes away if you’re looking for a quick top up on supplies. Other things to note If you’re visiting Edinburgh for the festival season, you’re just a short trip (10 minutes’ drive) from all the action of the Fringe, the mainstream International Festival and the Royal Military Tattoo. Take the bus (25 minutes by public transport) if you don’t want the hassle of parking before watching world-renowned concerts, stand-up comedy, reviews and street theatre at venues all over the city centre. While you’re in Edinburgh, be sure to visit the landmark castle to learn about Scotland’s rich history. Afterwards browse whisky and tartan shops along the Royal Mile, take a guided tour of the Palace of Holyroodhouse or climb the volcanic plug of Arthur’s Seat for dramatic views over the city to the Firth of Forth. When the weather’s good, hit the beach at Cramond (40 minutes) or Portobello (20 minutes), or have a stroll along the Water of Leith to check out the outstanding architecture of riverside Dean Village (40 minutes). Golfers will be happy that there are several courses within 20 minutes’ drive, and walkers can follow scenic hikes in the Pentland Hills (40 minutes). ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Dining - Breakfast available for a fee ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 0.5 bathroom - Shower - Toilet paper ### Entertainment - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Firepit ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - No lift (single-level property) - Single level property - Stair-free path to entrance - Wheelchair-accessible path of travel - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Meal delivery service ### Safety features - No carbon monoxide detector or gas appliances (host has indicated there are no carbon monoxide detectors or gas appliances on the property) - No smoke detector (host has indicated there is no smoke detector on the property) ### General - At least 10% of profits reinvested in community and sustainability - Humane treatment of captive wild animals ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/114000000/113500000/113496500/113496459/0a23636a_edited_992b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Spacious Bell Tent Nestled in Our Orchard Field at Edinburgh Festival Glamping!

The location was absolutely beautiful, close to the city centre, and very quiet. The tents were roomy (plenty for 3) and beds were comfortable - we slept so well through the night. Staff was very accommodating and helpful, the food cart was great for morning coffee and breakfast, and the amenities (toilets, showers, charging stations, games, etc) were better than we imagined. Everything was, in fact, better than we imagined there! I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others. ##### Sarah E.
