Great location, friendly host, breakfast was amazing and can't fault!

Lovely B&B in Bathgate. Room 3 had everything I needed for my stay and the breakfast was plentiful and delicious. Mary was really friendly and helpful. Good wifi and parking on the premises if you need it

Lovely place to stay! Mary and Donald are excellent hosts and cook a superb breakfast. The house is clean, quite beautiful, and historic. It's about a 10 minute walk from plenty of shops and restaurants. Would happily stay at the Gables again.

Mary was very welcoming when we arrived. The room was very clean. The breakfast was excellent. Very nice place to stay.

Everything perfect!!! For the early travel She prepared some sandwich!!!! Very very good! Tutto perfetto,

The breakfast was lovely. The hosts were both friendly and professional.

Das Personal war hervorragend! Obwohl wir eine extrem späte Anreise hatten, wurde auch um 22:55 noch auf uns gewartet und beim Einchecken geholfen; vielen Dank. Sehr zu empfehlen, sowohl was die Parkmöglichkeiten als auch die Zimmer angeht. Und das Allerbeste: Logistisch gesehen perfekt gelegen zwischen Edinburgh und Glasgow; thank you so much

Staff was wonderful. I stayed in the family room with 1 double and 2 single beds. Breakfast was delightful every morning. As most reviewers stated it is an old building. basin taps takes 3 minutes for hot water - Yes really! the power shower is nice, water flow is slightly low but does the job. Soft mattresses so ideal for those used to it I prefer hard but each to their own. Overall 8/10 as I stayed in October and felt the wind and roof tiles during the night, felt it could be slightly better insulated.

Mary cooked a delicious full English Breakfast for us. She was very accomadating and welcoming. We arrived at 8am, 8 hours before check in time and she held our luggage for us while we went to explore. Bathgate is a cute town and there are plenty of restaurants and shops walking distance from The Gables. The train station is an easy walk. We took the train into downtown Edinburgh. The rooms are clean, beds comfortable, water nice and hot, and Wi-Fi is included. Mary provided bottled water, tea and coffee service in the room and snacks. 10/10 great stay.

A lovely room, in a lovely house, with a lovely host, and a delicious breakfast. Highly recommended.

The place was just as described and had everything we needed. The real highlight was the excellent breakfast, and the service was outstanding. The location is also very convenient if you’re visiting Edinburgh or traveling to other parts of the Highlands. The only downside was that the sink tap didn’t have hot water

Would stay again if in the area but need ear plugs if in the family room with the busy road out the front. Lovely breakfast but no options given, all were served cooked breakfast. Lovely selection of yoghurts and fresh fruit. Very friendly and attentive.

Lovely welcoming host who was very accommodating about an early check in to suit our needs. Clean, comfortable room and in a great location. Made us a special early breakfast so we could have something substantial before we headed off.

Breakfast was lovely..lots of fresh options. We had an unusual welcome by the gentleman of the house, when answering the door I had to explain why I waz there. He didnt know which room category we had booked but said the double was now available. We booked a much bigger room so we could get a double bed but happy to take the double. I dont think it was quite ready. Towels were just on the chair one tiny soap and one tiny bath wash randomly in the bathroom. Cookies with tea and coffee was a nice touch. The bed was foam spongey and the shower very light in pressure. When we asked about local restaurant recommendations he wasnt sure. We met Mary a lovely lady . Would I stay here again yes I would..i just think we caught them off guard. We ttied to message re our arrival time late afternoon but the website would not let us send. Stay here you will be looked after.

Very comfortable stay and amazing breakfast. We stayed here just one night to get to and from Edinburgh airport. The X18 bus comes right to the property (1hr ride) for about £5 or you can take a cab (25min) for about £40. We were pleased to see there were plenty of fast food places around that are open until 11pm or midnight - not all small towns in Scotland are like this. Only downside is we could not find an email address with which to contact the hosts during our travels, and since we don't have UK numbers we had to rely on courtesy phones to get in touch with them regarding check-in. Would highly recommend The Gables and their lovely hosts.

I was only stay one night but I was greeted by Mary and everything to me was perfect. Pleasant room and great breakfast.

Well maintained property with a friendly and helpful hostess. Excellent breakfast. Easy Parking. Location lacks services and areas of interest within walking distance.

Nice B&B with good access for Edinburgh!

Stayed at The Gables for a weekend in August 2025. Had a wonderful experience, and the convenient location of The Gables made our lives easy. The hostess, Mary, was an absolute diamond. She greeted us warmly and provided us with a wonderful cooked breakfast each morning. The rooms were spacious and very clean. Would highly recommend a stay at The Gables for anyone looking for somewhere homely and welcoming within a short drive to Edinburgh.

Had a comfortable stay. Lovely hospitality.
