Cruachan is located in Blackburn in the county of West Lothian. Blackburn is a small town 3 miles south of Bathgate and only 1 mile from junction 4 of the M8 motorway. Blackburn lies approximately halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow so is ideally situated for exploring both these iconic Scottish cities. Each is easily reachable by car or public transport, taking advantage of the frequent rail service operating from Bathgate between the two.
Edinburgh airport is only 15 minutes by car, with Glasgow airport being a bit further at approx 35 minutes.
Edinburgh also now has a tram service running from the airport to the city centre. A free car park is provided for users of this service.
West Lothian and the surrounding area provides many visitor attractions and things to do. The historic town of Linlithgow is only a 20 minute drive away over the picturesque Bathgate hills. Here can be found the preserved Linlithgow palace overlooking Linlithgow loch around which is a lovely country walk.
The amazing Falkirk wheel is only 30 minutes by car and well worth a visit.
Many guests staying at Cruachan remark that the standard of accommodation on offer is of far greater quality than many hotels they have stayed in. Many thoughtful touches are provided to ensure each guests' stay is a pleasurable one.
