"The cottage was wonderful, exceptionally clean and very well maintained."

Everything was in very good condition. We felt very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped, we didn't miss anything. We would particularly like to emphasize the friendly and courteous manner of Wendy. Even a late arrival was no problem. The location is very good for visiting Glasgow, Edinburgh, Sterling, Falkirk and the Trossachs.

Even better in person than we expected, very clean, and the hosts were so kind and helpful. The location was peaceful but still close to many different towns and activities nearby, and we had an incredible stay.

"The cottage can easily cater for four guests so being there just by two was an absolute luxury!"

Lots of space, large living room and kitchen, two bedrooms (we just needed one) and lots of peace and quiet. Friendly owners who gave us invaluable advice on how to best get to Edinburgh. We loved our stay there! Just one piece of advice: Try to avoid parking your car under the tree, the birds are most productive.

Comfortable, exceptionally clean and well equipped. The owners: Wendy and Graham live close by, they were very welcoming but not intrusive. Set in idyllic countryside but within easy reach of many popular landmarks and restaurants. The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel are a must visit. Highly recommend this property.

About the location

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.
