We had the best holiday staying at the snug , it had everything you could wish for and to make our stay extra special the hot tub was a bonus .Allison and Graeme were the best hosts and even left us a welcome hamper which was a lovely touch .The location was perfect and we had the best of everything, nature reserve to the rear with all the peace and tranquility that goes with it but also just a few minutes down the road we had the railway station to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and short drive to Falkirk, Linlithgow, Bathgate etc .Lots of places to explore locally. We will definitely go back because we fell i love the the place and could've. Moved in permanently. Cannot recommend it enough.
