About this property
Excellent caravan with one double and two twin. Additional sleeping for two in the lounge area at extra charge.
Images are representative and may not be the specific accommodation assigned on booking.. Mortonhall, awarded the David Bellamy Gold Award for Conservation, offers the best of both worlds set within Edinburgh’s city boundary yet nestled in a private and secluded 200-acre country estate. In a sheltered position with southerly views to the Pentland Hills, it lies just four miles from the city centre and is easily accessible via major routes, with excellent bus links running until late evening.
Within the park, the Arboretum features specimen trees from around the world and provides peaceful, secluded walks. Guests can also enjoy warm Scottish hospitality at the Stable Bar and restaurant, complete with a sunny courtyard, a wide selection of Scottish beers and fine malt whiskies, and traditional Scottish fare.
Beyond the park, Edinburgh Scotland’s capital, unesco World Heritage Site and renowned Festival City offers a rich blend of history, culture and entertainment. Its compact, hilly landscape is home to the medieval Old Town and elegant Georgian New Town, crowned by Edinburgh Castle, home to Scotland’s crown jewels and the Stone of Destiny. At the foot of the Royal Mile lies the Palace of Holyroodhouse, alongside the modern Scottish Parliament and the dramatic peak of Arthur’s Seat, while Calton Hill provides some of the city’s most iconic views.
Famed for its world-class events, Edinburgh hosts the Edinburgh Festival, Fringe, Book and Film Festivals, the Royal Military Tattoo and Hogmanay celebrations, ensuring there is always something to experience throughout the year.
Combining tranquil countryside with one of the world’s most vibrant cities, Mortonhall is perfectly placed for an unforgettable stay..

Excellent location & lovely caravan, we didnt use the on-site facilities (but if they were as clean & modern as our caravan I expect they were very good) as we were visiting family in Edinburgh, convenient bus stops 10 mins walk away with regular buses

Our accomodation was cozy and clean, it was a pleasure, we had a good time there. However, some utilities were mising and some were extra (hair dryer :D). Location is a bit off centre. Bys to the centre goes around 30 mins, 15 mins late at night, its approximately 50 mins to the airport. But it is a peaceful location with great natural surroundings. The instructions about checking in and out were confusing and lacking. I am deeply disappointed by this. We did not know how to check in and how to check out, luckily there were people at the reception while checking out. We were not given instructions and all the host could do was to send us billions of generated mesages.
