About this property
This apartment sits on the first-floor of a listed building in the town of Livingston, West Lothian. Surrounded by parkland with lovely walks from the door, 16 Knightsridge House offers a great escape for a family or two couples looking to escape to this region of Scotland. Upon arrival you are greeted by a designated off-road parking space before heading into the building and scaling the communal staircase to the first floor. Step through and make yourself comfortable in the lounge, curling up with a good book or flicking on the TV. Wander through the kitchen/diner, home to a selection of appliances to assist with home-cooking, before settling at the dining table and tucking into your feast. One of the bedrooms features a double and single setup, whilst the other offers a standard double bed. Start the morning with a quick rinse in the bathroom before heading out for a wander around the parkland. Just a moment away, golfers can tee off at the Deer Park Golf Course, whilst those shopaholics can get their retail fix at the Livingston Designer Outlet, offering 70 boutique stores to browse. Head to the Howden Park Centre for a range of local arts and crafts, take the little ones to the Almond Heritage Centre to find out about the town’s farming history and take a tractor ride, or for those feeling active, there is the superb Pentland Hills offering miles of walks amid breath-taking scenery. With all this, plus the attractions of Edinburgh and Glasgow within 30 miles, 16 Knightsridge House is superbly placed for enjoying this picturesque part of Scotland.
Livingston is the largest town in West Lothian, offering a thriving centre with a plethora of attractions for visitors. Once a farming village, the town is now home to an old main street lined with original miners cottages, whilst a range of shops, including high-end retailers can be found on the Livingston Designer Outlet. The Outlet also boasts restaurants, bars, a large cinema complex and indoor Adventure Golf. The nearby Almond Valley Heritage Centre is an excellent day out with children, where they can enjoy tractor rides and feed the animals, whilst Eliurns Park has a great selection of outdoor activities including climbing frames, hidden tunnels and a flying fox. Livingston is fortunate to be surrounded by a wealth of excellent golf courses and visitors to Livingston can enjoy a round of golf at the beautiful Deer Park Golf and Country Club.

However this is the first Sykes Cottages property we have booked that did not leave any welcome refreshments upon our arrival. The issue that was a problem for us was the bed. Property owners must realise that at the very least a third of the time on a holiday is spent in bed and as such needs to be as comfortable as possible. This made our holiday a failure for us to such an extent that we actually left a day early - we could not spend another night experiencing such discomfort resulting in back pain.

It was comfortable, clean, spacious and very reasonably priced. Our only criticism would be that too much about the property was digitally provided. I don't use a smartphone and my wife's smartphone knowledge is limited. We had to get our daughter-in-law to sort out the Klevio app for access to the digital keys and we weren't able to access the QR codes on her phone for other information. A simple printed sheet in the property with details such as wi-fi code and other important information would have been very useful for digitally challenged people like us.

Kitchen have everything we needed, including a dish washer, washing machine, electric cooker, big fridge. Living room is pretty and compact, had good WIFI. Bathroom is clean and nice. The building is situated next to a quiet golf course, ideal for walking, car park is plenty. It was our first time to Livingston, had everything nearby from supermarkets to a very nice shopping factory outlet. Endinburgh itself was a good 25 minutes drive during off peak time. When we first got there, we just phoned the owner and the front door was opened remotely where we then went in to get the key for the apartment. Couldn't really complain about anything, will definitely use the apartment again if we went back to Livingston or Edinburgh.
