Located next to Linlithgow Golf Course, the cottages are ideal for golfers and fishermen alike with two fishing lochs nearby. There are many beautiful and peaceful walks in the immediate area, including a direct path to Cairnpapple Hills and Cockleroy where there once stood ancient henges and forts. These hills have excellent mountain bike tracks and the area is a haven for wildlife with over eighty different types of birds.
The historic town of Linlithgow is just one and a half miles away and provides visitors with plenty to see and do, along with a good selection of eating establishments and shops.

The Vibrant City of Glasgow with much to offer visitors is also within easy reach and just forty minutes from Linlithgow. For those happy to travel a little further afield, St Andrews is approximately an hour and a half away by car and Stirling is much closer.
