Park For Sale
£850,000
Bathrooms: 5

This profitable glamping site is located in Cockburn path in the Scottish Borders, within easy reach of Edinburgh and the East Lothian coastline. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, the site offers a unique investment opportunity combining an established hospitality business with further development potential.

The business currently operates as a successful glamping retreat featuring eight well-built wooden cabins, each designed to provide a comfortable and relaxing experience for guests. Every cabin includes its own private wood-fired hot tub, allowing visitors to enjoy the surrounding countryside and clear night skies while relaxing in a peaceful rural setting.

The site benefits from a strong reputation, with high occupancy levels and a loyal customer base returning for countryside escapes and short breaks near Edinburgh. The business has also gained recognition through television exposure, helping to increase its popularity and visibility among travellers seeking unique accommodation experiences.

Financially, the glamping site is already well established, generating an annual turnover estimated between £200,000 and £500,000 with net profits reported between £100,000 and £250,000. The property is being offered for sale with the freehold, meaning the buyer will own both the land and the operating business.

Located just south of the East Lothian town of Dunbar and within driving distance of Edinburgh, the site offers guests easy access to coastal scenery, countryside walks and well-known attractions throughout the Scottish Borders. The surrounding area is popular for outdoor activities such as hiking, wildlife watching and coastal exploration, making it an ideal destination for glamping holidays.

This opportunity would suit buyers looking for a lifestyle business, an established tourism venture or investors interested in expanding a hospitality portfolio with additional planning potential already in place.

The business is fully operational, consistently profitable, and benefits from an established client base, strong occupancy levels, and exceptional guest reviews. Notably, the site won Channel 4’s Four in a Bed, further cementing its reputation for excellence and guest experience.

The business operates under an established glamping franchise brand with national marketing, centralised bookings, a strong digital presence, and proven operational systems already in place – offering ongoing support, streamlined management, and significantly reduced owner risk.

Each cabin is thoughtfully positioned for privacy and views, with off-grid charm seamlessly blended with modern comforts. Guests enjoy firepits, local walking trails, and the tranquillity of nature, all while being within easy reach of Edinburgh and major Border towns.
Onsite amenities include:

✨ A dedicated yoga studio (which could also be used as a reception space),
✨ Ice baths and a sauna for wellness retreats and guest experiences,
✨ A children’s play park attracting families,
✨ An outdoor kitchen with a stone-built, wood-fired pizza oven where the current owners host authentic pizza nights, adding a warm, community-focused atmosphere.

Significant expansion potential is already secured, with full planning consent in place for 4 additional units – or alternatively 4 innovative underground houses, the first of their kind in Scotland – creating immediate scale potential and substantial revenue uplift without planning risk.

Additionally, a newly completed self-build 5-bedroom house is available under separate negotiation, providing spacious family living or an on-site owner’s residence with outstanding countryside views, ideal for fully embracing the lifestyle this business offers.

The business is structured for further growth, making it suitable for hands-on owner-operators seeking a lifestyle change, or investors looking for a scalable hospitality asset in a high-demand UK staycation market.

A rare opportunity to acquire an award-winning, experience-driven and expansion-ready business in a prime coastal location.

Serious enquiries only.
