We chose this lodge hotel because all the other hotels nearer to Edinburgh was too expensive.
But the location wasn’t convenient for those who don’t have a car. The first night, because it was Sunday, the closest train station’s train ended very early, and we had to use the farther station, Livingston South, instead of Livingston North. We asked the hotel to send a taxi to the station. It was raining and cold and we had to wait for a while.
The next morning, it was Monday, we walked to the closer train station, Livingston North, about 10min walk, and the train was nice and punctual.
So, if you use trains, be careful with the train schedule. Especially on weekends. On the way back to the hotel, we rented a car at Waverly station, it wasn’t that bad.
The room was small, but OK enough. The shower had no problem. Wifi was good.
