Every morning we had a fresh hamper of fruit, biscuits, cereals. Very easy to contact owners if need be. Lodge was very warm and clean. Lovely and quiet, didn't hear anything. Hot tub was lovely and warm for our arrival :). And fire logs supplied to have a nice little fire out the front.

Very good train connection from Edinburgh. Because we had limited time to visit the Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel we used Bruce taxis which were excellent and not too expensive. It looked an interesting place and would have liked to have seen a bit more of Falkirk and the surrounding area.

Great town; we actually visited twice this trip. Friendly, helpful townsfolk. A stop to see the Kelpies was recommended by staff at the Pullman Hotel in Liverpool. While there, we met Steve in the gift shop who told us about a great laundromat in town. Once our wash was was done, we ventured on to Fort William and beyond…The Wheatsheaf Pub is a great place to knock back a few with area locals and pups.

Visited….. Falkirk Wheel Kelpies Linlithgow House of Binn Falkland house & gardens Really enjoyed all the above & easy drive to all these Most places we stopped and ate local and then each day ate back at apartment late evening Felt Falkirk a little run down, lacking quality places to eat

I live in Falkirk and rented this property for my daughter, There are the newer attractions near by, Kelpies, Falkirk wheel etc yet the town stretches back through history for a few thousand years, 2000 years ago it was the northern most frontier of the Roman empire, The antonine wall is a World Heritage site and runs through the town. The resting place of William Wallace best friend is a little churchyard in the centre of town, where other leaders from "The battle of Falkirk" in 1298 are laid to rest and is a 15 minute journey from Stirling where the Wallace monument and Stirling castle are. For people wanting to see the cities, Falkirk is about equal distance from both Glasgow and Edinburgh with trains that run all day, public transport is great for getting around the main places, though a car would be needed to explore the not so main places that said, most of those are only an hour or two drive away from Falkirk so its a great place to plan a tour of Scotland, or a short term stay, you avoid the bigger tourist places and the bigger tourist prices but get the exact same experience.

Visited The Falkirk Wheel & had a trip on a canal boat,fantastic. Went to see The Kelpies,magical experience.Falkirk has lot's of historic buildings and many historic sites to visit.Town a bit run down,but most town centres are.
