The location of the Lodge is excellent it was a great base to visit some great places. Trains to Edinburgh and Glasgow were frequent from Linlithgow station. However the Lodge it self was disappointing. Firstly it looks nothing like the photos on the site inside or out. The Lodge is in need of a deep clean. The kitchen equipment is old and needs up dating the fridge had draws and shelves missing and was in need of a good clean. The towels were left in a basket not even folded !!! They were very thin not very white and had a strange smell to them, not really very nice (iv thrown better away)There are no blinds in the top windows in the upstairs bedroom letting lots of light in, if you are a light sensitive sleeper you will have a problem. The upstairs bathroom has a very flimsy shower curtain both the windows are clear glass with only one of them with a blind leaving you a little exposed to the track outside from the other !! The windows in the Lodge of which there are many were in need of a good clean they were very smeared !! There is nowhere to put your clothes other than a cheep canvas unit in the bedroom.Outside the Lodge was also in need of some TLC. The decking needs attention its in a very poor state in some places as was the patio furniture very old table falling to pieces!!! This is not a luxury Lodge!!
