We had an absolutely brilliant 2 weeks staying in Preston House Lodge. It had the great benefit of being in a peaceful setting whilst also being close to Linlithgow shops and a short train ride from Edinburgh. The Lodge was clean and well equipped for our family of 4. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and we’ll definitely be back.

We experienced it as a beautiful cottage. There is plenty to visit in the Linlithgow area. The cottage is fairly fully furnished. (We missed a pan next to the frying pan and the saucepan. And a few relaxing chairs to sit in the garden would complete it.) Nice to burn the delicious stove!

Beautiful lodge, stunning location. Everything was to a very high standard. Lodge was spotless. Loved sitting in the garden with those views after out exploring for the day. Very peaceful. Lots of lovely places to shop and eat in linlithgow. Train station is very easy to get around and see different places. Aberdour Castle and gardens, and beaches was beautiful.
