What's New at Williamscraig
December 2012 - Santa AND a Wedding
Santa's visit
|
We love a wedding here at Williamscraig and were delighted when one of our guests chose to stay in one of our romantic cottages and prepare for her wedding at the Vu near Bathgate, just a few minutes drive from here.
Then Santa visited early on 23rd December to check out where to leave the presents for the children. |

This year (2013) we have been really busy building three brand new cottages, two of which are three-bedroom. One of these has a glorious hot tub.
Plus one much larger four-bedroom cottage which can be split into two two-bedroom cottages by simply closing a sound-proof, fire-proof double door. It also has a hot tub on one side. These cottages have some of the best features - high ceilings; large roof windows letting in the sun light; a twisted mezzanine toy/play/reading area with views looking over a large pond, Linlithgow golf course, and the Ochils. Williamscraig truly is a place to relax in, play in, party in, and most of all holiday in, and i am so looking forward to the next year, and years to come.
November 2012. We were delighted to be recognised at the West Lothian Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards on 30th November where we received Highly Commended in the Best Tourism Business Category and runner up in the Women in Business category.
May 2012. Two pandas are now in residence at Williamscraig in the woods, high up in a tree, so if you have come to see the pandas at Edinburgh Zoo, please remember we have some here too. There are also some bears in the woods next to the cottages, apparently they are sitting on some of the branches and one is even clinging to a tree trunk. So if you venture into the woods today, be on your guard.
There will be a prize for anyone who finds all the bears. It's also an ideal place for a picnic and camp fire day or night, as there's lots of space to run around playing hide and seek and many other games. If you are lucky you will see a badger, rabbit, red squirrel or I could show you where a wood pecker has pecked lots of holes in an old rotten tree.
April 2012. We have been awarded a Certificate of Excellence for 2012 from Trip Advisor. They only give this award to the best accommodation in the area. I am delighted to accept it and do feel that my wife, Rose, and I work very hard to make your holiday the best ever.
March 2012. For food, Craigie's Farm will deliver a weekly shop of fresh farm produce or a special breakfast to the cottages.

December 2011. We now have a jet ski and we plan to organise trips by a qualified instructor to take people out on the water, on the River Forth at Queensferry or to Loch Lomond. We will supply equipment such as life jackets, etc. All you need to bring is a sense of adventure!
December 2011. We also have an arrangement with a local complementary therapist who will visit the cottages to give therapeutic massage. Just ask Rose or Findlay to organise this.
October 2011. We have planning permission to build another 4 holiday cottages, 2 of which will have hot tubs and they will all have wood burning stoves, we would like to start to build them in the next two years, and we'll be revamping the swing park. These cottages will have a fantastic outlook over the hills and a half acre pond. It will not disturb your holiday as it is in a different area of the farm development.
June 2011. The Golf course next door is offering up to half price golf if you are staying here, a lot of people have taken advantage of that and the food and drink at the club house is also ridiculously good value.
April 2011. Had a journalist staying in Rose Cottage last weekend with his wife and 4 children. Look out for an article in Scottish Field.
"Excellent cottage, wonderful welcome really appreciated the goodies,and fire place! The toys were a wonderful touch for our grand children, thank you we will highly recommend it to our friends."
