  • "This is a well equipped and spacious cottage for up to four people."

    We were very impressed by the supportive beds and all the things that really matter - showers, oven, hob etc were of a good quality and worked well. The heat pump based system that warms the property was initially a tad confusing but works well enough at the times that matter to most people. Supplementary heating is available if you need it (if for example you are up and about in the early hours). Owner Wendy is friendly and helpful, responding quickly to any queries. The location is great for easy access to Stirling, and all major centres of Central Scotland, including Edinburgh and Glasgow, are less than an hour away. We would happily stay here again.

STIRLING

Falkirk 12 miles; Glasgow 30 miles.

Stirling is Scotland’s youngest city and yet one that has so much history, specifically Mary Queen of Scots and William Wallace. ‘He who holds Stirling holds Scotland’ was the advice that inspired many famous battles including Bannockburn, and the story of Stirling’s history is evident today in the Old Town, which also boasts family ghost walks and tales from the graveyard. Stirling Castle boasts a superb, dramatic cliff-top location overlooking the city and provides a stunning outlook from its battlements to the mountains, cliffs and winding River Forth snaking away to Edinburgh. The nearby Wallace Monument also offers breathtaking views for those willing to attempt the steps to the top! Stirling is a university town and, as such, has many restaurants, bars and coffee houses as well as extensive shopping facilities. Its central location offers excellent access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and Perth, each less than an hour away by car, while closer to home is the historic, Victorian spa town of Bridge of Allan.
