The Lodge was very very clean and comfortable and ideally located. Easy to get into Edinburgh and Glasgow by train (20 min walk to station) very regular service. Plenty of attractions to visit without much driving. The town of Linlithgow is lovely esp the Palace and loch, plenty of cafes and restaurants to eat at , the walk back up Preston Rd is a bit of a climb!. The views from Cockleroy just up the road are spectacular on a clear day. We had fabulous weather whilst there.

Wir waren eine Woche in Linlithgow, die Unterkunft war sehr sauber und es war soweit alles da was man braucht. Es hat uns ein bisschen an Gemütlichkeit gefehlt, besonders im Esszimmer.

Fantastic cottage. Location excellent for exploring this part of Scotland - many tourists attractions less than 30 mins drive away. The Lodge on edge of Linlithgow with secure parking. Although close to road, it was very quiet. The property well equipped to high standard - perfect for self catering. I visited with elderly parent who has some mobility issues - but everything on one level & layout ideal. Can’t recommend this property highly enough. Definitely a place to revisit. Many thanks.
