The Ploughman's Poet

Wonderful place and outstanding hospitality

Pros: Beautiful home in a quiet area of Bathgate. Short taxi to the station with direct train to Edinburgh. Clean, cozy, and detached. Greetings from a welcoming host and friendly doggos! Absolutely recommended, would stay again. Felt very relaxed after a long trip from the midlands! Thanks again to our hosts

Little gem

Pros: Peaceful location. Lovely property with every added extra you could think off for a few days away. Host was very knowledgeable of the area and an all round lovely person

Cons: Maybe not the right place if you want to eat out every evening as it would involve traveling

A fabulous place to stay!

Pros: Everything! Linda was a very friendly and generous host. She went above and beyond what i expected, including getting our washing off the line while we were out, so it didn't get wet again in the rain. There was milk, bread, butter and jams in the fridge, and 2 delicious strawberry cream tarts! There were also cereals and bars that we could have used. The annex had everything you might need and was very comfortable. There were plenty of towels. Parking was behind the locked gate, and we were able to put our bike in the garage. The setting was peaceful with a lovely outlook onto a large lawn and trees. While it was a wee way out of Bathgate's center, and you would need a car, it was a short drive to the station. We caught the train to Glasgow and Edinburgh saving the hassle of finding parking in those cities. It was also handy for Stirling and Falkirk.

Cons: Nothing.

Didn’t want to leave, will definitely be back.

Pros: One of the most comfortable and friendly places we’ve ever stayed at.
