Positioned on a working arable farm between the towns of Linlithgow and Bo’ness you will find Falcon Cottage. The house was constructed under architect supervision in late 2021 and has been finished to high luxury standards. There are three double size bedrooms making the cottage perfect for a family or small group looking to base themselves centrally for taking advantage of whatever it is that attracts you to this part of Central Scotland. The smaller of the three bedrooms has been fitted with a kingsize bed, while the second has a zip and link which could either be a super kingsize bed or spit into two single beds. The same bed set up is in the principal room and there is also a Smart TV with a well finished en-suite shower room. The main living space is bright, modern and has many features designed to make your stay more enjoyable. The living room has the most beautiful view overlooking the rolling fields towards Linlithgow, and a very efficient wood burner to heat up those who may have ventured out on a chilly winter’s day.
Down a few small stairs from the living room area is a dining space, open plan with the kitchen. Here you’ll find everything you could need to prepare and enjoy meals in high specification kitchen, and a utility room at the rear with washing machine and dryer. The tiled floor and covered access to the rear of the building make this ideal for muddy boots and wet coats. The main bathroom with its four-piece suite completes the accommodation and compliments the standard of luxury throughout. The deep bath has a shower attachment in addition to the separate shower, so mornings rushing with kids should be a little easier to organise.
Outside there is a generous garden where guests can relax and take some time to enjoy the surroundings. Everything within the property from top to bottom has been fitted with the comfort and experience of the guest at the forefront of the thoughts of the owners. Located just minutes from the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow with the historic palace, plethora of bars, restaurants and cafés is quite a charming place to visit. Nearby Falkirk is home to the Kelpies and is a must visit, ideal for a family selfie. One of the fantastic things about this part of the world is how easily accessible the major towns and cities are. Glasgow and Edinburgh are about 30-minutes by car, you could even get to Loch Lomond in the Trossachs by car in an hour, as you pass through Stirling with the castle on the way.

We had a fantastic week in Falcon cottage. Great location for exploring Edinburgh and surrounding area. Cottage was a very high standard and extremely well equipped. We'd love to return one day.

This is a wonderful property, more of a palace than a cottage. Purpose-built, its presentation and finish are superb, with every detail considered. Spacious and modern, it is generously equipped, with many extra items thoughtfully provided, such as first aid supplies, a shower stool and a sewing kit. There is a large quantity of cutlery and crockery, and of good quality. The labelling of items and controls is excellent throughout and was much appreciated, as was the Welcome file, full of useful information.The beds were huge and unnaturally comfortable, with luxurious linen. We often sat in comfort before the picture window, watching swifts flit over the wheat beneath a horizon of gentle tree-swaddled hills. However, the beautiful location does mean it's a couple of miles to town, so plan to travel to shop. (And the view of the immense Grangemouth refinery in the other direction is less picturesque!)We had great trips out to Stirling, North Berwick (take a boat trip), Falkirk (Kelpies and Wheel) and Rosslyn Chapel; but Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth and Loch Lomond are all reachable too.This was a lovely, relaxing base to come home to each day. Highly recommended.
