The family- owned Richmond Park Hotel is centrally located in the quiet West Lothian coastal town of Bo’ness, which is steeped in history.

Richmond Park has recently received a million- pound renovation, and the hotel’s restaurant prides itself on providing some of the best local and Scottish ingredient­s. The produce is sourced estateto- plate, making it some of the freshest products that you will find anywhere in Scotland.

Bo’ness is situated in the heart of the Central Belt, located between Edinburgh and Glasgow, on the south of the Firth of Forth. This makes for an ideal base for visiting either of Scotland’s largest cities or a convenient stop- off on your Scottish staycation.

Whether you are venturing up the A9 to the Highlands, taking in some of Scotland’s finest Whisky distilleri­es, or going cross country to Glen Coe, Bo’ness’ historical significan­ce and its coastal location offer unique access to the surroundin­g area and attraction­s closer to home.

The Falkirk Wheel is less than 12 miles distant, while the Kelpies are only a 20- minute drive away.

Visitors to Richmond Park also have the option of easy access to Stirling to visit the National Wallace Monument, Blair Drummond Safari Park, or even a trip to Edinburgh.

If you fancy a break from driving, the historical town of Bo’ness is well- served by its own attraction­s, including the famous Bo’ness and Kinneil Railway as well as the Bo’ness Motor Museum.

If you would rather cycle, the hotel is convenient­ly located near the Union Canal, which expands both east and west.

Whether you are on a family break, weekend away, teeing off at some of the finest golf courses in the world, or even about to embark on the adventure of the North Coast 500 around Scotland’s northernmo­st coastal scenery, then Richmond Park Hotel offers an easily accessible break for your staycation.
