Poppy Pig wigwam (ensuite)
Liked: Great room; everything we needed for a short trip plus access to additional facilities such as a games room. Easy to check in/out with clear communication throughout and useful tips/local info. Beds were very comfortable. Good parking available and <15 min from train station. Staff were friendly and helpful, going above and beyond to help us make the most of our trip and even gifted us a bottle of wine when there was a minor mix-up with room allocation (which was resolved quickly and easily as soon as it was noticed).

Liked: When we stepped into pod the heating was on as were the lovely fairy lights. There was a fridge, kettle, microwave, toaster .Also selection of tea coffee milk. Next to pod was a lovely clean, heated toilet and shower. Mirror on wall was of a bull just like the name of my pod. Pods were well spaced out with picnic table and own fire pit. In shed was fabulous lounge with TV many games and table tennis. Also kitchen area with washing up etc. This place is so well set up. Has everything you need. Easy distance to Livingston shopping centre .Also 15 mins to tram which takes you straight in to Princes Street. Every 4 mins !! Lesley could not have been more helpful and welcoming. We did farm tour with farmer which was fantastic. Even held new lamb!. The pods are so spacious my daughter had family of 3 children and there was plenty space for them all to sleep. I was on my own and was very spacious cosy and luxurious!! Set near Pentland Hills .Countryside all around ,see Forth Road Bridge from site. Lovely walks all around site as well. So ideal for family get togethers!! Cant say enough about how lovely Hilly Cows Wigwams was.
Disliked: Nothing!!

Liked: Wigwam was clean and cosy (even in Jan) with good facilities. We loved using the firepit and it was great having kettle and fridge. Host was very welcoming and accomodating. Kids loved meeting the animals, playing in the park and the games room was warm and well equipped too. Loved the little touches like the elf biscuits for the kids and all the wee cow themed bits.
Disliked: Nothing, we really enjoyed the stay.
