Jim who is the owner was great. Any time we had a question or needed something he was available to give us guidance. The property was beautiful. The home was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our stay there very much. It was really nice being out in the country but very easy to get to food stores and the cute town of Linlithgow.
The property was very comfortable and lived up to all our expectations. It provided lovely views and was very peaceful. It is also convenient to the town where there were ample opportunities to shop and dine.

A stunning view of the countryside, a lovely place to stay
The cottages are located in a beautiful area with an amazing view of the hills. We were really happy to spend our days here and we had the pleasure to meet the host in person and it has been a wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for making our stay such a wonderful and special experience.
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.
A beautiful spacious house, nicer than in the photos. Comfy bed and we appreciated the Christmas decorations. Had a nice wakk past the lake and up the hill in to the woods.
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.
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.
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.

Very clean and tidy,only comment is we had a long 7 hour drive and there was no milk in fridge and no tea bags etc,didnt want heaps just a quick cuppa and it would have been nice to leave an odd bin bag, as we were there for 6 days,but apart from that a lovely
Comfy stay.
comfy comfy stay
We found a beautiful Cottage in the near of Linlithgow. For the start all necessary things were available in the Cottage. In the evening Jim, the owner, visit shortly and had a talk with us. The area around is so beautiful. Sheaps, top view on the Ochils.

5 of us stayed here Monday to Thursday, we were all very impressed with the cottage, and the views around it were spectacular. There was everything you could need for a stay here.
The fishing lake, just a few yards from the cottage was beautiful, even if you don't fish, was lovely to walk around. The town of Linlithgow was just a couple of miles away, with an historical palace to visit, good rail links to Edinburgh and Glasgow and good restaurants and shops.
I would highly recommend these cottages, they are a great find. Enjoy!!
Country isolation less than 1/2 hour from Edinburgh.
A week that had almost all we needed. 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms make it ideal for a larger family. Trout fishing within 50 feet of the cottage.
Only weakness was the beds are low (ikea type) and are well passed their comfort guarantee.
We loved Carriber Cottage - spotlessly clean, spacious. well equipped, modern, comfortable and convenient. You can park right outside, walk to the fishing lake or drive to Linlithgow station to take the train quickly into Edinburgh. Three large bedrooms and three full bathrooms - and the Feb a hot tub you can use. If you're driving up to Scotland it's ideal as a beautiful base to stay and explore from. Jim greeeted us on arrival and was friendly and welcoming. What a great find.
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.

Absolutely beautiful
This cottage was a great surprise and absolutely beautiful. If you’re ready to disconnect from social media and take a break from our fast paced lives, this cottage is the answer. I rated communications with property manager less than 5 stars as we had difficulty reaching Jim and no information was provided ahead of time as to how to get there and the check in process. Since we were traveling via London from the US, this was unsettling. However once we made contact with him, they were extremely responsive to our needs and questions. A fantastic location and we would definitely return.
We arrived a bit early & it wasnt any problem for Jim, who met us, in the rain. Inside after a little tour & info on the workings of the gas stove, lights,door keys etc, we unloaded & just relaxed. Looking out at the sheeo pastures & the 360 views itvwas amazing.! The drive up the hill was a bit scary, but after a few trios up/ down we adjusted. House was lovely. Everything clean & neat. Im sad we didn't have time to put the living room back together, as we needed to be to the airport so early. Left them a bottle of wine to say thank you & forgot to leave a note of thanks. So " Thamk you"!!!
Beautiful location and such a clean and comfortable cottage. The location allowed us to explore the whole region and my kids are already wanting to go back!
My family and I had a wonderful week at this cottage. It is perfectly situated for exploring all the historic and modern sites and places of interest within central scotland. Short drives to both Glasgow and Edinburgh.The big bonus is the two fishing lakes onsite, so don't forget your fly fishing equipment (like I did ) I did manage to get a few hours in at the end of my holiday. All in all a very good relaxing holiday was had by all,and yes we will return sometime in the near future.
Jim is very friendly and his property was in excellent condition and spotlessly clean. It’s only about a ten minute drive from the center of Linlithgow and so very accessible to many places in Central Scotland. The view from the cottage was quintessentially Scottish - rolling hills and sheep! The drive up to the cottage was a little like a ride on a wooden rollercoaster so be prepared!
