5 of us stayed here Monday to Thursday, we were all very impressed with the cottage, and the views around it were spectacular. There was everything you could need for a stay here.
The fishing lake, just a few yards from the cottage was beautiful, even if you don't fish, was lovely to walk around. The town of Linlithgow was just a couple of miles away, with an historical palace to visit, good rail links to Edinburgh and Glasgow and good restaurants and shops.
I would highly recommend these cottages, they are a great find. Enjoy!!
The cottage was central for everywhere we wanted to go and was near to the train station for easy access into Edinburgh.
Having 3 double bedrooms and 3 bathrooms is very unusual and it made life so much easier for everyone.
Spotlessly clean, well equipped and great location. Ideal base for visiting Edinburgh and Glasgow. Linlithgow Palace is definitely worth visiting. Perfect holiday home - we didn’t want to leave.
Country isolation less than 1/2 hour from Edinburgh.
A week that had almost all we needed. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms make it ideal for a larger family. Trout fishing within 50 feet of the cottage.
Only weakness was the beds are low (ikea type) and are well passed their comfort guarantee.
We loved Carriber Cottage - spotlessly clean, spacious. well equipped, modern, comfortable and convenient. You can park right outside, walk to the fishing lake or drive to Linlithgow station to take the train quickly into Edinburgh. Three large bedrooms and three full bathrooms - and the Feb a hot tub you can use. If you're driving up to Scotland it's ideal as a beautiful base to stay and explore from. Jim greeeted us on arrival and was friendly and welcoming. What a great find.
Clean, comfy and lots of living space. Super kitchen and bathroom facilities and proximity to places of interest. The biggest attraction was the view from all aspects...so peaceful...and the walk around the fishing lake-fabulous!
Our dog loved it too and she's fussy!
We could have stayed forever!
Lovely !ocation, very c!ean, but property far too hot and took two days to cool down. Bed linen poor quality, rough and scratchy. One single mattress and bed frame very poor. 4 of our party left early, unable to sleep. Dining chairs need pads on feet to avoid loud scraping on tiled floor. Tourist information leaflets were mainly used, grubby and out of date. Door handles needed adjustment, difficult for both children and adults. Instruction manual for appliances would have been helpful. Unable to address issues with owners as they were On holiday.
Everything was smooth process , property is accessible to almost all places . Have shops and train station nearby. Jim was helpful. Overall had a good stay
Lovey cottage with all round views of the countryside.
Bedrooms and bathrooms large with plenty of storage. Kitchen / diner/ lounge all open plan - plenty of space.
Lots of hot water and a handy dishwasher too.
The only thing I would change is the mattress on the upstairs double bed… was a bit soft for our liking.
Hosts introduced himself on arrival but we didn’t see them as everything we needed was catered for.
Good value - very quiet, easy drive to surrounding areas.
Would stay again
Beautiful quiet countryside but within striking distance of Edinburgh
A modern well appointed and spacious three bedroom cottage. It is well situated as a base to visit Edinburgh (Hermiston Park & Ride is a 26 minute drive away) or even Glasgow and itself lies in lovely tranquil countryside. There are far reaching view from the decking at the black of the cottage, where enough sitting is provided for six people.
Had a great few days away. The cottage is very warm & welcoming & had everything we needed for a family of 6. Lovely surroundings & great views on a clear day. Local attractions close by i.e. Kelpies, Callendar House & Falkirk Wheel. Local town 5 minutes by car. Kids loved the hot tub too. Would definitely recommend to anyone to stay here. Owners are very frindly & their dogs welcomed our little pup with open paws!
Fantastic cottage,
Plenty of space with all your homely needs.
Will definitely stay again.
The owner couldn’t of been anymore helpful and made us more than welcome.
Few days away with family son and his three children aged 2-8 years.

Also visited Linlithgow lich, Palace and love cal shops. Enjoyed fish and chips, ice cream and Chinese whilst there. Beautiful scenery and views sunsets amazing. Jim and Jacqui chatty and welcoming.
