  • "Absolutely beautiful property which is well maintained and immaculately clean throughout."

    So many amenities both inside and out - hot tub and lovely garden, pool table, fusball table, board games, toys for younger kids, stunning big farmhouse kitchen and ample dinning space. The layout really lends itself well if people want to go to bed and other want to stay up late, as the living and sleeping are adjacent, so noise doesn't disturb those in the bedrooms. Nice touch with scones and jam on arrival and well stocked with milk, tea and coffee (my one suggestion would be to let people know there's a coffee machine so they can also bring their own coffee pods). Great communication from the owner and easy arrival and leaving process. Nothing not to like about Shieldhill Farm and we plan to make this an annual event for the family. Love it!!

  • "A lovely property, very spacious."

    Excellent for group, family breaks. Owner is very welcoming and hands on for your stay. Grounds are lovely, peaceful and enough areas for sitting with a book or playing with your kids or dogs. Definitely recommend

  • "Perfect accommodation for a family group of 10."

    Very large property so plenty of space to relax. The kids loved the pool table and the football game. The hot tub is a real bonus, and also liked the log fire for cosy evenings, although it consumes logs at an alarming rate.

  • "We felt very comfortable in the house."

    All the rooms are cosily furnished. Particularly noteworthy is the amount of seating. Really a lot of space. The pool table and table football as well as the hot tub and fireplace made our stay very special and we will definitely be back. The welcome pack with the voucher for the ice cream parlour was also a great idea, which we visited by car due to the weather. All in all we had a great time. Thank you so much.

    We were a family ranging from 4 to 77 and it catered for everyone. The owners have thought of everything. The house is absolutely beautiful and has so many stunning little areas for everyone to have some space. The photos really don't do it justice. So peaceful and private.

  • "We celebrated our 60th birthdays here with our Family, 10 adults and one dog."

    We had tons of room and loads of snugs and nooks and crannies where you could go if you wanted peace and quiet. We were unlucky with the weather, but the house was perfect for rainy weather as there's loads to do inside. We had the master bedroom and the bed was very comfortable, everyone was happy with their rooms, this is a fantastic house and can't praise it highly enough. Thanks for everything David and Karen

    The house is very well equipped. The welcome pack and scones were very well appreciated. Great hot tub, the pool and football table were well used by us. Also the Milk barn a short walk away does amazing food and ice cream with great staff. I highly recommend this property.

  • "An excellent property located centrally to numerous activities."

    Having a train station so close by also helped us visit Edinburgh and Glasgow during our stay. The property itself was very spacious, clean, modern and comfortable and having board games, a pool table and hot-tub etc. certainly kept our teenagers occupied in the evenings. The hosts were fantastic and readily available if needed. I would thoroughly recommend this excellent property to anyone seeking to holiday in central Scotland.

    The home was well equipped, peaceful and very comfortable. We had a much needed relaxing few days - talking, playing board games and pool (games and pool table were a bonus). The owner had thought of everything and we even had a plate of scones and other goodies waiting for us on arrival. We visited Falkirk and Grangemouth for a few things but were happy to potter around the home. We saw some wildlife too! We would definitely recommend and hope to stay again before long.

    We were a party of 9 from baby through to grandparents and found the price good value for the number of people. The house is absolutely fabulous and Savannah the host has thought of everything. The property is very private and peaceful but also only a few minutes drive into Falkirk. Really comfy beds with high quality bedding, well equipped kitchen, hottub was a fantastic addition with a beautiful back drop of countryside. The house was spotlessly clean. Suzannah was very quick to respond to emails and gave us her number incase of any problems. Lots to do in the local area, we intend to come back for a week next year to spend more time enjoying the property as well the local area. Welcome goodies of freshly baked scones, coffee etc was also much appreciated.

The property

Perched on the outskirts of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, lies this fabulous holiday property, Shieldhill Farm House.

Perfect for families or large groups, this charming home boasts a plethora of on-site amenities, tasteful decor, as well as ample positioning to the bustling cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Inside, you will find all the facilities you need for fully self-catered stay, including a well-presented kitchen, where tasty dishes can be whipped up to be enjoyed around the dining table or even in one of the sitting rooms, each complete with TV and woodburning stoves that take centre stage.

As the evenings grow darker, why not indulge in the relaxing outdoor hot tub, before retreating to one of five plush bedrooms, two of which come with accompanying en-suite shower rooms that await to help you wash away the day as you prepare for a new one.

If you fancy exploring your surroundings, take a short car trip into Falkirk, where you can grab a fresh loaf from Marshalls Family Bakery, visit the tourist hotspot of The Falkirk Wheel, or even roam the tranquil grounds of Callendar Park and House or enjoy their cycle trails.

The Milk Barn ice cream parlour is just 0.5 miles away.

Just north of Falkirk, you will find Stenhousemuir, home to the Glenbervie Golf Course, the Bee Statue, or if you and your loved ones are up for something competitive, an afternoon out at Xtreme Karting might just be in order.

If you want to make a day of it, Glasgow is slightly further afield, a city offering visitors the chance to spend time to soak up nature at The Hidden Gardens, brush up on their scientific knowledge at the Glasgow Science Centre, or even play a few games at the Hollywood Bowl bowling alley.

All of this and more awaits during a stay at Shieldhill Farm House.
