Absolutely fantastic property. We’ve never stayed anywhere as spotless or with as much attention to detail. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again or recommend to friends and family. The en suite bedrooms are spacious with beautiful fittings. All bathrooms were spotless and we loved the little alcoves in the showers. The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and little extras, everything we could want was there. The little automatic grass cutter outside made so all giggle even when it looked like it had stopped in the road for a little rest. The location was fabulous and excellent for exploring Linlithgow, Falkirk, Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. I cannot emphasise how amazing our stay was and how much we loved the property.

We really enjoyed our stay at Speed The Plough, it was comfortable and well equipped. The location did let it down a bit though, it would have been nice to have a shop or pub within walking distance, although there was a local restaurant, it was very expensive. We did find it a good base for visiting Linlithgow, Edinburgh, The Falkirk Kelpies, Falkirk Wheel and surrounding areas.
