Guests can also bring their horse or pony, by prior arrangement, as there is a field in front of the lodge and two equestrian centres close by.
With so much to do at Lawford Lodge, you may not want to leave! However, if you do wish to explore, there’s plenty to do in the local area.

Falkirk town centre has lots of places to eat and drink, events and activities all year round. The shopping centre has a great selection of independent boutiques, gift shops and high street names. Local attractions and visitor centres include The Helix, which is home to The Kelpies: the largest equine sculptures in the world, and Callendar House and Park, a 14th-century French-style château house with a working Georgian kitchen.
The bustling cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow are within 40 minutes’ drive and the local railway station has park and ride facilities so you can enjoy the cities and visit one of the many concerts and festivals without the stress of parking.

Stayed here with 5 family members,two of whom were toddlers.There was plenty of space, facilities were great,setting on a dairy farm was lovely.Children got to visit local amenities like the Falkirk Wheel and the Bo'ness&Kinneil Steam Railway and the Scottish Railways Museum which they enjoyed so much they visited twice.Altogether a very enjoyable family holiday.
