Wir waren eine Woche in Linlithgow, die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und es war soweit alles da was man braucht. Es hat uns ein bisschen an Gemütlichkeit gefehlt, besonders im Esszimmer.

Fantastic cottage. Location excellent for exploring this part of Scotland - many tourists attractions less than 30 mins drive away. The Lodge on edge of Linlithgow with secure parking. Although close to road, it was very quiet. The property well equipped to high standard - perfect for self catering. I visited with elderly parent who has some mobility issues - but everything on one level & layout ideal. Can’t recommend this property highly enough. Definitely a place to revisit. Many thanks.

Lovely victorian gatehouse in a pleasant town with good shops. Modern refurbishment, but the decor of the cottage a little bit on the neutral side without much character. Kitchen equipment rather basic. No kitchen for someone who wants to enjoy cooking local specialities (smoke alarm goes off as soon as you try to brown a piece of meat). Close to motorways and a perfect spot to discover Lothian, Edinburgh, Glasgow and the hearth of Scotland.
