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.

Amazing, relaxed experience. Great base near Edinburgh

Cosy , good place and helpful owner Merry. Thanks!

Was through for the AC/DC concert with my mum, the gables was fantastic, the room was extremely clean with plenty of tea and coffee for our overnight stay, the cooked breakfast was the best I’ve had in a long time, will becoming back again for a stay soon!

Mary nous a accueilli avec beaucoup de sympathie et de conseils. Le petit dejeuner ecossais est très bon mais vous avez aussi la possibilité d'avoir un petit déjeuner plus continental. Le positionnement de Bathgate entre Edimbourgh et Gloasgow est une très bonne option. Super

Mary was very welcoming and anything we needed to know or need help with Mary obliged. We had to leave early on departure, but she got up and gave us a good Continental Breakfast.

Wonderful breakfast. Great central location with quick rail access for day trips to Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Mary and her husband were very kind and extremely helpful hosts. There was ample breakfast available. There was enough room for 3 adults in our room. Being able to Park on the premises was great.

The property was clean, quiet, and simple. Had an excellent breakfast. Very reasonable.

Delicious breakfast cooked to order and a quiet bedroom.
