Wigwams are generally an alternative to tents. Therefore, you should bring with you everything you would normally bring if you were camping in a tent, including bed linen/sleeping bags, although sleeping bags and pillows are available to hire from reception should you need them.Wigwams are well insulated and have free electric heaters and each wigwam has ventilation via the windows and ventilation panels.

It’s also not that far to the Stable Bar if you find you or your family in need of food and drink.Wigwams are located near to the Courtyard WC Block and the games room and TV room are close by in the area by reception.Vital Statistics:4 Star Thistle graded parkDisabled facilities (level 2)David Bellamy Gold Conservation Award 8 Year RunningPark easily accessed from city bypassWalks around the Arboretum, to the City or into the Pentland HillsShop – onsiteLaundry, food preparation and dishwashing facilitiesSecure lockers offered.The Stable Bar – family restaurant and bar.Coffee shop at Garden Centre.New games and television roomsSituated on the main bus route to Edinburgh city centreAnd look out for the Highland cattle!
