ABOUT THE OATRIDGE
A FAMILY RUN HOTEL
A family business
As a family run business we greatly value and appreciate every patron of the hotel. It is for this reason, we strive to provide a first-class service for every visitor to the hotel.Amenities include free breakfast and parking, a genteel restaurant with a fireplace and a bar with a pool table, as well as a beer garden.
The Oatridge is a Georgian style hotel originally built in the early 19th century before being burnt down in 1805 and rebuilt in 1810, the current building you see now.
Originally built as a Coaching House with stables in the rear. In 1825 there were 6 coaches passing through Uphall each day (except Sundays).
Coaching services ceased in 1845 but The Oatridge grew in popularity as a posting house, horse hiring and finally as a popular inn just as it continues to be and has been managed by the MacGregor family for over 40 years.

Have visited this place off and on over the years as it's well known for it's steaks. Hadn't been for a while but recently took advantage of the fish tea... read more deal on a Wednesday. Incredible value at £6 - cheaper and far superior to anything you would get in yer average West Lothian chippy. The price includes tea or coffee, you can have it beer battered or with panko breadcrumbs and comes with chips, peas and a side salad. Superb. Unsurprisingly, the place was packed but the service was warm, friendly and efficient. What's not to like?

Arrived about 9pm Sunday 10/11. Booked in easily and was given a very nice room with en suite. Had a drink in the very welcoming bar and had a good... read more chat with some of the locals.
Full English breakfast which was great. Staff very pleasant and more than helpful with directions etc.
At the end of the day you get what you pay for. This is not expensive for a clean comfortable room.

We booked two en-suite rooms in December last year but when we arrived we only had one with en-suite. Apparently we should have been told when we booked but we... read more weren't. We pointed out that we were charged the same price for both rooms and were given a five pound refund. "Hotel" might be stretching it. The bed in one of our rooms had a dead wasp in it. Plugging the kettle in wasn't straightforward as the lead didn't easily reach the socket. A light over a mirror didn't work. A budget place to stay it might be, but we won't be returning or recommending it.
