An amazing stay. If you are looking for peace and quiet after a long day exploring the cities and travelling, this is a wonderful place to come back to and enjoy the serenity.Can not fault it at all. Close to the town of Linlithgow for all your supplies and close to a main freeway for travelling.
The property is amazing. Peaceful. Close to many activities. Jimmy is a great host. Very clean. Very comfortable. Amazing views. Would recommend to anyone. Will stay here again if we come back
Spotlessly clean when we arrived. Lots of room for clothes etc. and for storing suitcases. Great having the use of a dishwasher and washer for the week. Beautiful quiet location, can highly recommend this place. Great for me being disabled with the downstairs bedroom and bathroom.
It was amazing, only that we had to move on we would have stay there longer. Only 10mins to the shops and to the motorway. Peace and quiet. Would recommend it to everyone.
Easy to get to. Lovely peaceful surroundings in the country. Accommodation was very good and comfortable. Only one suggestion for improvement: include water glasses in the kitchen.Wi-Fi is currently patchy, but we were advised of this by the owner when we arrived. This was beyond the owner's control. It did not spoil our holiday or enjoyment for our stay.
Great accommodation set in lovely lowland countryside. Handy for various tourist spots, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling and Falkirk. Linlithgow Town centre and Train station 6 miniutes away.Jim the host has provided a great holiday home. There are 3 chalets in a quiet rural area. We are happy to recommend. Car essential.

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.
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.
The accommodation is clean, quiet and has all you need. Everything worked, the hosts were great. They checked we were OK and then left us to ourselves.
It's a great area to explore as well.
We can definitely recommend a stay here.

The Carriber cottages were very smart,tidy,and well worth the money,we had a fantastic 10 days stay there,and the hosts Jim and Jacki were very dlightful and very helpful,we will definately be going back.
Amazing cottage. Communication with hosts where excellent. Even round up the sheep herd was inclusive :-). We had a wonderful time in the cottage and just loved the view of the fields surrounding. We found everything we needed in the cottage as well. Thanks again for a really nice vacation.

Lovely break away
Lovely property, really helpful hosts. Ideally situated for Edinburgh and some good shopping in Livingston as well. The boys tried their hand a fishing but it was a wee bit cold for the fish.
Super dog friendly as well :)
This was a wonderful cottage and a beautiful setting. It was extremely clean and well equipped. The owner was delightful and very helpful.It should be noted that there is no dryer or hot tub. But there was a rack to dry clothes on and they dried quickly. Also, you need to take your own bath soap. It was very up-to-date and the view from your window was gorgeous. Lambs scampering about and a beautiful view of the valley. We were extremely happy with our location.
