Charming period cottage perfect for a romantic getaway with wood burner for cosy nights in and wonderful countryside views toward the famous Forth Bridges, within easy reach of great local amenities.

Set within beautiful parkland known as Peel beside Linlithgow Loch, this stone single-storey cottage is perfect for a romantic break for two. Full of charm and heritage, guests are welcome to help feed and collect the hens eggs, with blackcurrants or gooseberries ripe for picking in the summer months. Within easy reach of the wonderful cities of Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow, enjoy the best of both worlds during your holiday.

Inside, period charm meets contemporary styling, with pretty floral textiles complementing warm wooden floors and cream walls creating a serene and welcoming interior. Light, with the illusion of space, the open-plan living space takes on a cosy and intimate feel when the wood burner is lit.

Enter this semi-detached cottage and step into the open-plan living space, the heart of the house. Cook up a storm in the kitchen and enjoy a romantic meal at the dining table, taking in the lovely countryside views over the garden. The comfortable sofa beckons you to relax in front of the wood burner for cosy nights in, glass of wine in hand and a movie on the TV. As the day draws to a close, retire to the bedroom, serene with cream walls and floral textiles. With direct access out to the rear garden, open the door to fall asleep with fresh air pouring in, and wake to the sound of birdsong.

Outside, the small and pretty front garden is busy with mature flowerbeds and potted plants, and a seating area for enjoying a morning coffee. The rear garden has views of the surrounding fields and a seating area just perfect for al fresco dining and lazy evening stargazing. There is ample off-road parking available.

Unfortunately the overall cleanliness of the cottage was a let down. Mouldy shower head and drain was blocked with hair and grime so your standing ankle deep in water. Log fire obsolete as cottage is unpleasantly warm due to underfloor heating you have no control over. Dirty glasses and dried in food on colander. Hole in net curtain in bathroom. ThRead moree dirt road leading to cottage needs work as our cars underside got caught a couple of times. Quiet though and located near local attractions. Hide

We had a wonderful week at Filters, blessed with beautiful weather. The cottage is cosy and a perfect place to stay tucked away in the trees and fields with lots of wildlife to see, hares just outside were a real treat and truly beautiful sunrises if you get up early enough. We visited some great places within and close to Linlithgow but those furtRead moreher afield were still an easy reach to the main roads. We hope to visit again. The Owners and Rambo the cat made us feel very welcome. Recommended! Hide

This is an ideal cottage for two people. Very cosy with the added bonus of a log burner for added atmosphere. You have the added bonus of both bath and sperate shower. Ideally situated for a number of destinations Glasgow, Edinburgh, whilst many interesting local places like Linlithgow.
