Dog Days AwayGOOD DAYS. TOGETHER.
West Lothian · Scotland · Town · Countryside
Bathgate’s reviewed stays are two glamping units on the same rural property, so this is a choice of accommodation layouts rather than two competing hotels. Use the base for an easy park outing or, in suitable conditions, an outdoor visit to Cairnpapple Hill. Farm boundaries and supervision rules matter: the surrounding countryside is not a private off-lead playground.

A BASE FOR YOUR BREAK
Dog access can depend on the room or accommodation you choose. Confirm the exact dog arrangements before you pay.
Fox’s Den and Badger’s Sett are separate units on the same site. The operator charges £10 per dog per stay plus an additional deposit whose amount needs confirmation. Choose the unit for the people and sleeping layout as well as the dog; verify current occupancy rather than relying on a generic pod description.

GOOD DAYS OUT, TOGETHER
Use a comfortable part of the park’s paths for a gentle outing; the Peace Mile is one option within a mixed-use park.
Keep dogs controlled and respect play and sports areas and local signs.
Official visitor informationAn optional hill outing with rough uphill access and steps. Check opening and access arrangements; it is not the easier substitute for a town park.
Pet dogs belong in permitted outdoor areas, not the chamber. Keep them controlled around agricultural land and respect livestock.
Official visitor informationAN UNHURRIED COUPLE OF DAYS
Settle into your chosen unit, confirm permitted dog areas and take a short Balbardie outing if time allows.
Choose Cairnpapple only if weather, access and fitness suit. Otherwise keep the day to a gentle park walk and relaxed time at the unit.
A suggested plan, not a booked itinerary. Adapt it to your dog, the weather and current access.

The council map says the Orange route is the longest but easiest, with most of it surfaced. The Purple route is the most difficult, mainly unsurfaced and potentially muddy, with steep inclines and boardwalk sections. Keep dogs under close control near livestock.
