What customers say
Rosehip Hideaway offers clean, comfortable, and well-maintained cabins in a peaceful location, ideal for visiting Edinburgh. Guests consistently praise the friendly and helpful owner, Veronica, and the site's proximity to attractions and transport links. While the cabins are generally well-equipped, some visitors noted a lack of cooking facilities like a toaster, limited WiFi, and a need for extra touches like radios or more comfortable sofa beds. The onsite cafe is also a popular feature.

Liked Very accommodating and knowledgable hostess, A cosy secluded spot only a short train ride away from Edinburgh. Shop on site selling hot coffee and fresh sandwiches is a welcome bonus. The hut was immaculate, and well heated. Village was only a short walk away.

Beach Rose cabin
Liked The cabins were cosy even though we stayed during Storm Darragh! Great spacious hot shower. Very clean, everything felt brand new.
We got the train from Wallyford which has a big park&ride car park then only 10-15 mins into the centre of Edinburgh.
Friendly welcome from Veronica and in the onsite cafe is good too.
Disliked Maybe a radio would be good?

Great place to stay
Peace Rose cabin
Liked Veroica and her daughter where lovely hosts and the staff in the onsite cafe where friendly and helpful too.
They even emailed and called us when we managed to leave some belongings behind by accident.
The camp was beautifully laid out with lovely plants and flowers and we had a view of some chickens walking back and forth as well as the lovely garden and other lodges.
The beds where so comfortable and the shower was lovely.
Everything was spotless
The heating was on for us when we arrived, everything was well thought out.
Disliked It could of done with a toaster at least for cooking as with constant rain you could not cook outside on the fire.
We had to travel quite a distance to find a take away in the evening or go out for meals every night because of the lack of cooking facilties.
Local pub The Winton where booked up and the staff member was very abrupt with us for even asking.
We had to travel to Dalkieth for a meal twice.
We came upon a restaurant called the cavalier which was excellent.
I would recommend really lovely staff as well.
Other take aways where in nearby Tranent about 6 miles away.
But at least two where shut and when you just travelled for several hours you don't really want to go out looking for hot food.

From the manager: Hi Lin, thank you so much for the feedback and the lovely review. We did have toasters but had to remove as kept setting off fire alarm and disturbing other guests.
We have a small hut with hob and microwave on site, sorry you didn’t know about this.
The takeaways in Pathhead and Tranent both deliver? I am sorry about your experience at the Winton and I will feed this back as I do recommend to our guests as food is so good but I also recommend people to book in advance.
Veronica
Perfect

Liked Cleanliness. Quiet. Cafe. Lovely bedding. Good shower.
Disliked Could do with curtains over the blinds to stop draughts. A hair dryer would also be amazing and a radio or speaker.
