    Everything! Linda was a very friendly and generous host. She went above and beyond what i expected, including getting our washing off the line while we were out, so it didn't get wet again in the rain. There was milk, bread, butter and jams in the...

The ‘Ploughman’s Poet’ is our peaceful and luxurious cottage for two people that is brimming with character. A truly idyllic rural setting. Perfect for a relaxing break or any outdoors enthusiasts, with easy access to central Scotland. Easy access to local train stations providing quick & easy access to both Edinburgh and Glasgow city centres.
My aim is to make your stay in the Ploughman's Poet as enjoyable as possible. I live on site therefore can be available to answer any questions you may have. I am new to the holiday rental world and looking forward to my launch. No pets. No smoking, vaping or e cigarettes.
We are located about 5 miles from Junction 4 on the M8, The Ploughman's Poet is within a gated location and my main home is located on site. There is plenty parking available. We have a black Labrador named Carla who is normally on the driveway. We also have free range chickens on site, fresh eggs available for breakfast. The site is rural, not near any bus routes etc, car is essential. We are about 6 miles from Bathgate train station providing links to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Being so close to Junction 4 on the M8 we can easily access any direction to exploring Scotland.
