Family trip

This place is perfect! Clean, beautiful and wonderful location! It’s nearby the golf course, and very easy to get to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Francesco is always friendly and helpful. We had a very good time there and we definitely would come back again!

Pleasant stay.

Booking and contact with the owner straightforward and helpful. Property was easy to find but passing through the neighbouring property and associated 'clutter' to reach the gate to our stay was quite off putting but not of your making, an unfortunate arrival issue. Once inside the gate to these properties all is as described and fine. Milk and biscuits on arrival are a nice touch. The property was very clean indeed, better than most. Nice area to sit outside but that wouldn't have been so calm and peaceful if all the properties were being used. Bathroom facility was somewhat limited but ok as only the two of us staying. Had it been four people a room of that size with only a small ventilation fan might have been less pleasant. The shower sadly was not adequate, the water was hot enough but the pressure so low it was difficult to get wet! Some instructions on using the heating and appliances would have been appreciated - yes we could have contacted the owner but we don't need that hassle on holiday - just a quick written instruction will suffice. An example is the markings on the oven facilities are so worn you can't read them and hence is was trial and error when it came to cooking. Those minor issues apart we sleep well, great covered parking right outside and so handy for town, trains to Edinburgh and attractions in the wider area. Thank you.

Beautiful Stay

We were so lucky to find this place when our original booking cancelled on us just months before our trip. It was the best thing that could have happened to us. This cottage was so special to us. The backyard reminded me of a scene from Alice in Wonderland when I was little. I loved being able to open the windows and get all the fresh air. The area surrounding the cottage was beautiful and peaceful. We were definitely in our element and enjoyed our time here. One small issue on our second to last night and Francesco immediately took care of it, even though we would have been fine without. We couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. Hoping we can return one day.

Fantastic Cottage Getaway

We really enjoyed the cottage and lovely countryside. Cottage is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. Only about 20 minutes from Edinburgh. The town of Linlithgow was very quaint with small shops, eateries and beautiful flowers everywhere. Highly recommend staying at the Linlithgow Holiday Cottages!!

Cute cottage in the country

Wonderful location if you want to get out away from the city and explore the regions west of Edinburgh. Cozy and bright, the cottage was clean and we had everything we needed and were able to settle in and enjoy our time. Thanks again!

Had a lovely stay

Overall it was a good stay and we enjoyed getting out and about and was a good base, central to where we planned to visit. Negatives: - There is a business right at the entrance, which can cause blockages with large vehicles and the owner cleaning items. Don't think this was a good idea! Daughter almost had an accident in her car as someone else was driving far too fast down the single track on a blind corner! - The stairs were extremely noisy and creaky - every single step! - The shower was far too small and had no shelves or anything to place your items onto - The bathroom is on the ground floor so in the night you disturb everyone by switching on lights/loud creaking going down and then up the stairs again. - not ideal for anyone with mobility issues or a disability

We were more than happy with this wonderful cottage. The location is beautiful (we were lucky with the weather!). The cottage was a great home from home, the kitchen has all you need and the fixtures are modern. As we were visiting family, we will definitely be back.

Linthlithgow Vacation

We really enjoyed our week at the cottages near Linlithgow. Linlithgow itself is a lovely Scottish town close to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Stirling, Falkirk and Livingston, so all we had to do was jump in the car and go and visit. The owners were really nice and helpful both online and while we were at the property itself. We had a great stay.

Lovely cottage. Great Owners

Had a lovely time staying at the cottage. Made a great base heading out to Edinburgh, St Andrews, Portabello, Musselburgh, Linlithgow, Rosslyn Chapel and a few other places. Very quiet and peaceful at night. Lovely garden to relax when we got home. Even provided a paddling pool for our kids when it was really sunny. Would recommend.

Excellent! Beautiful cottage and really well eqipped.

We had a lovely time staying at this cottage. It is really well eqipped and the welcome package was awesome, ie, fresh cake, tea /coffee, milk all there and ready for us. There is plenty to do around Linlithgow and Stirling and Edinburgh are only a short drive away. I would definitely recommend it.
