Cottages in West Lothian

"Waterhouse lovely clean & comfortable . Poor phone signal & no WI-FI a disadvantage . Despite prepaying by credit card got bill at checkout . Explained to receptionist who checked and confirmed prepayment . Was horrified to see next evening I was charged again for our stay . Immediately contacted hotel who suggested I ring next morning . Next morning I commenced the lengthy process of trying to get my money back ! Despite 5 phone calls I never got a call back as promised each time . Excuses...

"Good for family (2 adults, 4 kids). Good location, 30 minute walk or 10-15 minute bus ride to the city centre. Clean apartment, some initial struggle with the front door key ‘technique’ but the video was helpful, could’ve done with a few more kitchen utensils / oven trays for self catering. Overall good, would stay again. "

"Amazingly helpful & friendly hosts, willing to provide great suggestions for local attractions and assist in any way needed. Set in a beautiful quiet location but still only a short drive to major roads. "

"Very beautiful grounds and very relaxing. The host was lovely and very helpful"

"All rooms were clean and tidy. Weather was very good only a brief period of rain. Weather used the public transport which was so easy to use and treated ourselves to a glutes free chippy tea, which was a short walk into the village. Lovely place!"

"After a long drive to get there it was lovely to dump the cases and get into the hot tub. The accommodation was better than expected and we both enjoyed our stay there. We were told that the drive was a wee bit tight but other than that, no issues"

"Amazing place to stay just outside Edinburgh. Super clean, great location and great hosts. Will be back for sure!"

"The property is brilliant the castle is amazing. The owners are very friendy and encourage you to walk to grounds which is beautiful. Was very happy with our stay. The location is ideal 20 min drive to Edinburgh 30 min drive to coldstream/kelso to explore the boarders."

"Broken kitchen tap, springs hurt your back in the main bedroom, bins overflowing outside which created flies, no Wi-Fi, 1 blind broken in the bathroom, looked unkept and dirty fleece blanket in the loung"

"Very unclean and uncared for. Had to have fresh towels and toilet paper given by site manager. Had to clean microwave before use. Hairs in bed. B5 o mattress protectors. Shower smelled badly. Broken blinds in some rooms. Stale smell from soft furnishings. Some main lights did not work or lamps missing bulbs. Many other issues. Report sent to Sykes Cottages and awaiting response. Only stayed because a family emergency and venue nearby or would have left."

"A really nice cottage with all amenities as advertised. It is quite remote but OK if you have a vehicle. Very quiet. For longer stays, a clothes line or dryer would be an added benefit. We would stay again."

"The Gate Lodge at the House of the Binns offered good clean and comfortable facilities in a lovely location. The House of the Binns is a National Trust for Scotland property that is well worth a visit and is located within easy reach of Edinburgh , and the Firth of Forth."

"We had a fantastic few days at Shieldhill Farmhouse with our extended family. Everything was clean and tidy and we all felt at home the minute we walked through the door. There were lots of little extra things such as toys for the children, recommendations for restaurants and takeaways, and goodies on arrival which were lovely. It's a big open farmhouse, and Scotland isn't known for it's tropical weather so we were a little chilly (even in August!) but we just popped a jumper and slippers on...

"Det er en lille perle i midten af ingenting men stadigvæk tæt på Edinburgh. Helt perfekt til et par dages ferie. "
