Walking and cycling trails right out front. Host is amazing as well and was nearby if we needed anything which we did not because cottage was equipped with everything we needed. Looking forward to staying again on future trips.

Summary: We had a great week in the cosy Rowan Cottage. It offers plenty of space for a family of four and is very well maintained and equipped. The landlady was always approachable and helpful. We would come back at any time as the location is ideal for trips to Edinburgh or Loch Lomond. Stirling and the surrounding area also has a lot to offer for culture and hiking enthusiasts.

Summary: A great property in a lovely location, kicked our holiday off in the best possible way. Our host was extremely helpful and pleasant. We will definitely come back as the area has far more to see and we couldn’t pick a better base from which to start.

Summary: The cottage really fit our needs perfectly (even though our kids had to share the room). The ground floor was very spacious, kitchen equipment was good - we missed some basics like oil an vinegar (Salt and Pepper were there, but almost run out). The communication with the landlord was easy and prompt, we really enjoyed our stay there, after a City Trip the right place to relax. We had a bit stress, because as we were leaving early and had to collect all sheets from all beds and towels ... but thats just a small issue compared to the great time we spent.
