Great and clean accommodation that has everything you might need. The cottage is quite spacious and has a lovely garden. Parking is easy and covered. The location is a bit rural, but more than nice if you don't mind a couple minutes drive into town.

The cottage was very central to lots of places which was very good as you could go every day to somewhere different and come back at night

It was a great location for us and our itinerary. The challenge for us was the driving in and out as we are not used to the narrow roads.

A fantastic cottage, great location to explore the local area and into Edinburgh. Spotlessly clean, very cosy and comfortable and well equipped. Possibly one of the best holiday cottages we have ever rented and stayed in. Thankyou, we will definitely stay again and see more of the wonderful area.

We had a wonderful stay! The cottage was a lovely little gem, beautifully peaceful and so well-equipped with everything we needed. Despite the tranquil setting, it was incredibly convenient for exploring all the local attractions and tourist spots. A perfect base for a relaxing getaway with everything within easy reach. Would definitely recommend!

Vacation stay

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.

Lovely little cottage!

A lovely little cottage a few car minutes outside Linlithgow, a nice little town with a famous castle and railway connection to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Very friendly and supporting hosts, always there when we needed help, thank you Sandra and Francesco!

First impression - you drive through a literal buisness that is a dump thinking youve made a mistake. But then there is a gate for the properties. My kids now call this property, 'the stinky house' as it smelled of either dead mice or nappies especially in the bathroom. The smell didnt ever go away. In the kitchen, only a coffee pod machine with supplies for one morning or granules is offered. A drip coffee maker or cafeteria has been standard in other properties. I requested a cafeteria and was told it was not a thing in Scotland. Though I lived here 20 years previously . . . There are no fans. We could not open the windows in the bedrooms. It was very hot and stuffy up there. This has been the only property on our trip, including hotels; That did not supply a rotating fab.The upstairs main bedroom - the clothes closet was unusable due to a hoover and a blanket flung over extra stored furniture. We would not recommend this property.

Where do I start! You arrived at my property, clearly not having read the arrival details you were sent. Sending rude and panicked messages about how to enter the property late in the evening. You then went onto complain about there being no clothes airer- one was supplied within 1 hour. You then complained about the coffee. We supply both a pod machine with pods and a kettle with instant coffee which we feel is more than suffice. It does not state on our ad that we supply a cafetiere. Maybe you should read the ad before booking if this is that important to you. I can assure you 100% that the bedroom windows open fully, as does the huge patio doors if some extra air is required. You then left my property in a mess, with rubbish, dishes and check out instructions not adhered to. Perhaps this was the smell that you refer to? We are so sorry that you did not seem to have the same experience all our other guests spanning 20 years seem to have had!

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!!

Fantastic

Everything was just perfect. It was nice and quiet. The stairs were really squeaky and made a lot of noise, but it worked out ok.
