Beautiful cottage and garden right in the centre of Linlithgow with friendly and helpful owners who provide everything you could need for a wonderful stay (although I might suggest adding a list of recommended restaurants). Convenient for going to Edinburgh and especially the Royal Highland Centre/park and ride. Try Nero's Pizzeria and Brunch and Tapas in Linlithgow, they are both excellent. The Four Marys is a very nice historic pub.

A lovely cottage, very convenient location for Linlithgow high street and yet a secluded relaxing spot too. Excellent communication, welcome and help from hosts.
