Location was nice and quiet and not far to get to Stirling for shopping. It had a garden area for our dog and the smiddy was quite a unique accommodation and very warm and comfortable.

Comfortable, clean, bright and all the amenities you would require for a short break. The host gave clear instructions and directions.

Nik United Kingdom

We loved how comfortable the accommodation was and the location was perfect. The apartment had everything that we needed for our stay and more. We even made use of the dvds. The shower was great and the WiFi amazing especially having 2 young boys in our party.

Karen United Kingdom

Apartment was fully equipped with everything you would need, whether you were planning to cook meals or just have snacks. Bedding and towels were nice quality. Location was handy for visiting different areas like Stirling, or drive across to Loch Lomond.

Laura United Kingdom

Location, communication, accommodation was all amazing. It was away from the centre so was nice and quiet, the house was very comfortable and had a cosy feeling. Everything was there that would be needed for a self catered night away. Room for our dogs in the entrance room. Carolyn so helpful! Enjoyed it so much we have booked again and will book in future. Also highly recommended to friends and family!
