Beautiful Victorian style house located in a lovely neighborhood in Stirling. 10 minute walk to the shops and sights including Stirling Castle, Church of the Holy Rude, and the Old Town Jail. There is a small parking lot behind the property and ample on-street parking (pay and display). Friendly, helpful staff. Walls in the room and bathroom could benefit from a little cleaning and freshening up, however. The shower in our room was very small. Overall, I would stay again, perhaps in a room with a larger shower.

The breakfast was fantastic - they had gluten free toast which was a great surprise. The BnB was on a quiet park but close enough to the main areas to still be convenient - we slept with the windows open on multiple nights without issue. The room was large and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

We had a very nice stay! Friendly staff, good breakfasts. A couple of little things could be improved. No body wash or shampoo by the bath (had to unscrew and move from the shower) and no floor mat when we arrived. But overall very happy with our stay.

Moldy bread and no restaurant

Restaurant not open on either night of my stay, had to find somewhere in town, got soaked returning to hotel on one occasion. Served a moldy piece of toast a breakfast, it was horrific. It was virtually all over the bread, so how someone could not see it was beyond me. The lady serving apologised but it was disgusting.
