Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.
Spent 4 nights here celebrating our silver wedding anniversary. Clean and comfortable and ideally situated for a trips out. The property is well maintained and well equipped , towels and bedding supplied. Self check in via a key safe and everything went smoothly. The owner was extremley helpful and provided all information requested. Fast Internet service too. The property is a five minute walk from the train station and trains run regularly to both Glasgow and Edinburgh. We also drove to Falkirk in about 35 minutes to visit the Kelpies.. Which was well worth a visit. All in all highly recommended

About the neighbourhood
Shotts is a small town in the middle of what is known as the “Central Belt” which is the road link between Edinburgh and Glasgow. Shotts in itself has very little to offer. You can walk around it in a very short time. My property is only five-minute walk to the train station or shops. Go out the front door and go left for the train or right for the shops. The motorway is an 8 min drive away from my property. EVERYTHING is just a drive away or a train ride away
Travel by car or train Edinburgh and Glasgow are only about 30mins away.
There are so many other towns to visit far closer than the two main cities
Hamilton, Motherwell, Falkirk, Livingstone, East Kilbride, Cumbernauld
Or go further out Fife, Inverclyde,
The choices are vast
Getting around
A car is best but the train which is a short walk away will get you everywhere
