ELIZABETH WAS ALSO NAMED WEST LOTHIAN'S 'BUSINESSWOMAN OF THE YEAR 2004' in recognition of her outstanding contribution to tourism business in the area for the past 42 years Click for bigger photo Derek was the winner of the first prize in the West Lothian Business Garden of the year competition in 2004, 2006 and 2007 for his lovingly tended garden, having been runner up in 2002, 2003 & 2005

Derek and Elizabeth have been running the Bed & Breakfast business for 45 years and still love it as much as they did when they first started the business in 1962 when B & B was 12/6 in old money - that is 65p per person per night. WOW! There is a saying that "If you enjoy the job you are doing, you won't have to work for the rest of your life" and they have proved this to be correct. They have more energy and enthusiasm than people half their age and they enjoy meeting and speaking with guests from all over the world.  In fact they still correspond with guests who stayed with them over 35 years ago, and who still return, now as friends, rather than as 'paying guests'. Their service exceeds each guest's expectations - and the breakfasts are superb. Book today - you won't be disappointed
