Reviews and Ratings
Staying above this charming old pub was an enjoyable experience overall. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, though a bit dimly lit. The staff was friendly and helpful, but there have been recent changes. The location is excellent, right next to the railway station. Dining was pleasant, especially the breakfasts. Worth considering if seeking a cozy, character-filled stay.
Staying for just one night in two rooms above an old pub with character was comfortable and spacious, although a little dark. The staff serving the drinks were welcoming and helpful, making it a 'go-to' place for staying in Linlithgow, albeit with a slight lack of brightness in the rooms.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfy rooms and super friendly staff. Despite some room issues, it was a good experience overall, especially due to its convenient location close to amenities.
