  • Glamping by the beach, near Edinburgh
Harvest Moon Holidays is uniquely situated by the magnificent beach on Lochhouses Farm, next to John Muir Country Park, east of Edinburgh. This coastal paradise between North Berwick and Dunbar has less rain and more sunshine than any other part of the UK according to travel guides. From a high tree-lined ridge at the site, guests can enjoy extensive views over the beach and its dunes. The glamping units have wood-burning stoves, en-suite toilets and hot showers. There is also a farm shop, a communal barbecue and a firepit as well as a mini farm with chickens, ducks, bunnies, lambs and ponies, very popular with the kids.
