Description

Situated in a secluded spot near Livingston just west of Edinburgh, in 22 acres of beautiful woodlands, Macdonald Houstoun House offers an impressive range of rooms, facilities and services to meet your needs. Located only two minutes from J3 of the M8 motorway which connects Edinburgh and Glasgow, 5 mins from Uphall Railway Station and with Edinburgh Airport just 15 minutes’ drive away, we’re easily reached, however you opt to travel. With links to Mary, Queen of Scots and the classic grace of a 16th century Tower House, Macdonald Houstoun House Hotel is rich in character and a memorable venue for your event. Beyond the delightful grounds, you’ll find four conference and function rooms which provide a range of options to suit whatever size event you’re planning.
