The house is really clean and cosy in a quiet neighborhood. For a drink/ dinner or shopping you need your car for a 5 minute drive. The owners are really friendly and helpful.

Perfect stay at a well-equipped, clean cottage

We stayed here for five nights as a family with three children. The communication before the stay was excellent, and we quickly found the location. There is a parking lot in front of the house. The cottage is very well equipped and clean, and everything works. We did not have any issues; it was a perfect stay! Many thanks!!!

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!!

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.

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.
