Our fantastic swing park is on a large area all within eyesight of the cottages and includes a four way see-saw, a flying fox, and a variety of slides and swings! There is also a smaller playset for younger children - so there's something for all ages!

Want a Holiday from Cooking?
Why not get the Dolphin Snack Bar to deliver your breakfast? Tesco and Sainsbury`s also deliver to the door.
Marilyn from Our Kitchen to Yours can prepare and deliver your meal so it just needs to be defrosted and heated in the oven - and she will even do the washing up afterwards, at a very reasonable price (for the girl groups Marilyn can also supply male butlers).

Fancy an entertaining tour round Linlithgow? Try www.marysmeanders.co.uk. This is an ideal activity for a family, it is one and a half hours long, and very light hearted.
Linlithgow was established around the twelve hundreds, and boasts of being the jewel in the crown of West Lothian, Mary queen of Scots was born here in Linlithgow palace, over 500 years ago, which is well worth a visit for all the family. It has some of the old cobbled streets, with quirky old houses that look squint at a distance, and much worse close up. There is a loch next to the palace, which is a nice tranquil two and a half mile walk round it, with a standard stop off at the Italian ice cream shop, which is not to be missed. The canal goes right through the centre of the town, and why not take a canal boat and head straight to the Falkirk wheel passed the Helix park on a 4 hour journey. It has a good variety of restaurants, takeaways and pubs including the famous Four Marys Pub.
It's only 18 minutes by train to Edinburgh and the train runs every 15 minutes. There are regular train services to Stirling, Glasgow and Falkirk as well.
There are many beautiful, tranquil walks in the immediate area including a direct path to Cockleroy and Cairnpapple Hills where there once stood ancient henges and forts. These hills have excellent mountain bike tracks. There is an abundance of wildlife and over eighty different types of birds.
Linlithgow Golf Course is next door, visitors are most welcome and can pay half price on the golf course through the week through ourselves. There is a public bar and restaurant at the golf club which you are welcome to use.

Getting Married? We love a wedding
"We stayed here for 4 days and nights in Feb, my sister was getting married at The Vu and we all got ready here including the bride. It was a magical place to stay with breathtaking views and a warm atmosphere. The house is massive with lots of room and everything you could need. It is designed to be a house for a family in that the commual area is connected to all the bedrooms etc. We loved it!!!! Findlay popped around a few times and even helped us with how to put kilts on."
Williamscraig is a beautiful setting for photographing family events and just a few minutes' drive from romantic wedding venues such as Linlithgow Palace, Linlithgow Burgh Halls and The Vu, Bathgate.
