An excellent cottage in a great location to access many tourist attractions. We easily visited the Kelpies, the Falkirk wheel, Stirling and Edinburgh. This was in addition to Linlithgow Palace and Museaum locally.

I would highly recommend the Lodge to anyone considering staying there. It is in a great spot for privacy, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. A five minute drive to the Train Station and a ten minute walk to the Town.

We had an absolutely brilliant 2 weeks staying in Preston House Lodge. It had the great benefit of being in a peaceful setting whilst also being close to Linlithgow shops and a short train ride from Edinburgh. The Lodge was clean and well equipped for our family of 4. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and we’ll definitely be back.
