This property is in an excellent location, ideal for families living across the Forth Valley area. It is easily accessible from the Higgin’s Neuk roundabout, providing great access to the motorways to Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Stirling - a gateway to the Highlands. Larbert station is about 10 minutes away and offers free parking. Despite its proximity to the road, the property has excellent double glazing, minimizing traffic noise. There are also good walking paths nearby that lead to Airth or Kincardine across either of the bridges. The area is rich in history, ensuring plenty of activities and sights to enjoy.The property itself is very well appointed, with high quality furnishings, fit and finish. It had every convenience we needed, and it was cleaned to an excellent standard. The beds were very comfortable, and rooms were spacious and inviting. It has stunning views across the Forth to the Ochil hills, especially from the bedrooms upstairs. There is plenty of parking, I would say for 3 cars easily, and a small outdoor patio space with a grill, which we didn’t use as our trip had typical Scottish September weather.Julie was an excellent owner/host, with very friendly responsive communication. Internet is currently provided by a cellular hotspot, which can sometimes have a brief interruption, but Julie mentioned that this is getting upgraded to fiber in the future. We highly recommend this property and we shall be using it again when next we visit our family in Scotland.

Great place and really good location We stayed for 4 nights with the family and the house was perfect and very spacious. My daughter loved going to see the horses in the field, hoping that’s just a phase!

Perfect family stay
We spent one week in this very nice cottage. It is very conveniently positioned between Edinburgh and Glascow.
Very easy to be reached by car.
The house itself is super clean and well equipped with everything might be needed.
We only had a tiny problem with a door, and Julie and her husband immediately came over and fixed it.
Highly recommended for a family stay and as a base to visit the beautiful surroundings.
