The accommodation comprises; vestibule, entrance hall, lounge, family room, kitchen, utility room, shower room, five bedrooms, and a family bathroom. Warmth is provided by central heating and double glazing.

Location
Borrowstounness or Bo'ness as it is more commonly known is a coastal town on the Firth of Forth in the Central Lowlands of Scotland. Forth Cottage is a short distance to the heart of Bo'ness. Local amenities include Tesco and Lidl supermarkets, a recreation centre, and many sites of historical interest such as the Bo'ness and Kinneil Steam Railway and The Hippodrome, the oldest picture house in Scotland. In addition, there are many outside pursuits such as golfing, woodland walks, and heritage sites. There are five primary schools and one secondary within the town. The Bo'ness Childrens' Fair is held in June every year and is recognised as one of the largest fair festivals in Europe. With excellent transport connections to all the major towns of central Scotland, the M9 and M8 giving quick access to Edinburgh and Glasgow respectively, Linlithgow Station and Edinburgh Airport both a short drive away, all make Bo'ness the ideal base for commuting.
