Nine places are on offer, and they are more alike than different. Six of them sleep six in two bedrooms and sit at almost the same usual nightly rate, so comparing them comes down to location on the site, pet rules and availability. A smaller four-person lodge is the cheapest way in, while an eight-guest, four-bedroom house and a ten-guest, five-bedroom lodge sit well above the rest. Those two make more sense when the cost is split between several couples or families. The average capacity is a little over six guests.

A hot tub is the main feature at Fairview, a five-bedroom holiday home that sleeps 10 guests.
Penicuik sits just south of Edinburgh, at the foot of the Pentland Hills, and the lodges here suit groups who want a hot tub and a bit of space without staying in the capital itself. Every place we track has a hot tub, and most are set up for six people with two bedrooms. That makes the area a fit for two couples, or a family with older children, more than for couples travelling alone.
Prices are fairly flat. Most of the two-bedroom lodges cost the same usual amount a night, and the cheapest night found is a four-person lodge that takes dogs. The odd ones out are at the extremes: one four-bedroom house with a log burner is clearly dearer, and the ten-guest, five-bedroom place costs several times the usual night. Guest ratings are high, around 9.3 out of 10. Log burners are rare, so if you want a fire in winter, check before you book.
A hot tub comes with every place here, so it will not help you tell them apart. A BBQ is almost as common, with eight of the nine having one. Gardens are less usual, found at three places, and those tend to be the larger and dearer lodges. A log burner or fireplace appears at only one, the four-bedroom house. A high chair is listed at only one place too, the largest, so families with a baby should ask before booking. Pets are accepted at fewer than half, some only on request.
| Feature | Places | Share | Usual night |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hot tub | 9 | 100% | £211 |
| BBQ | 8 | 89% | £211 |
| Garden | 3 | 33% | £402 |
| Log burner / fireplace | 1 | 11% | £402 |
| High chair | 1 | 11% | £1,170 |
The six-guest band is where the choice is, with two bedrooms and a usual night that works out at a modest cost per person. That is the cheapest way to share a hot tub lodge in the area. Smaller groups of four have one option, and it is the lowest-priced night found. Larger parties of eight or ten pay far more per night, but the cost per head can still come down if the lodge is full. Check bedroom numbers as well as capacity, since beds in a two-bedroom lodge for six may include sofa beds.

| Sleeps 5-6 | 6 | 2 | £211 | £35 |
From November to February the usual night barely moves, so winter and the new year are the steadier months for budgeting. Prices start to rise in March and climb more clearly in April, when the usual night is dearer than in midwinter. Availability follows a pattern too. December has the fewest free dates, which fits the Christmas period, while February to April has many more open nights. If you want a short break at a lower rate and with more choice of dates, late winter is easier to book than December.
| Month | Usual night | Nights still free |
|---|---|---|
| November 2026 | £211 | 55% |
| December 2026 | £211 | 41% |
| January 2027 | £211 | 77% |
| February 2027 | £214 | 83% |
| March 2027 | £222 | 84% |
| April 2027 | £242 | 86% |
Several nearby towns offer other options if Penicuik is full or you want a different base. Peebles and Kirknewton are quieter and have fewer places. Edinburgh itself has a few more, and Bathgate has a handful with a higher starting price. Port Seton and Linlithgow have the widest choice of the neighbouring areas, with Linlithgow showing the lowest starting rate of the six. Starting prices in these towns are lower than the usual Penicuik night, partly because Penicuik places are mostly larger lodges with hot tubs.
Yes, every place we track in Penicuik has one. Because of that, it is better to compare size, pet rules and extras such as a log burner or garden.
Winter prices stay fairly steady from November to February, and the usual night is close to the area figure. A week in winter is typically a little cheaper than a week outside winter. Only one lodge has a log burner, so ask if that matters to you.
Fewer than half of the places accept pets. Some are dog friendly outright and others take pets on request, so confirm with the host before booking.
The largest lodge sleeps ten and has five bedrooms. An eight-guest house with four bedrooms is another option. Both cost much more a night than the typical two-bedroom lodge, so they work best when shared.
Based on the prices we check every day, a night in one of these lodges or cabins in Penicuik usually costs £211, and a week in winter around £1,533 (£1,720 the rest of the year). Prices depend mostly on the dates and the size of the property.
