Perfect in every way
Very comfortable house for our three-generation holiday — well appointed, great location, plenty of room. The highlights included the large gathering space and table, the hot tub, the access to hiking, and the easy walk to the village amenities. In every way, the house added to our Stirling experience.

Comfortable home, outstanding host
We were 2 families looking to explore Scotland and this was the perfect place to call home for our visit. Well located within public transit (or short car ride) to downtown Stirling. From Stirling, there was easy access to Glasgow and Edinburgh. But when we were at the place, it was great to have a spacious and comfortable place for all of us to enjoy. The place had excellent amenities. Furnishings were modern and clean. Everything was as advertised. The host was absolutely excellent. She was very responsive to questions leading up to our trip. We were made to feel welcome as soon as we walked into the door. And while were at the place, she was very responsive to questions or concerns that we had during our stay. We look forward to an opportunity to go back to Scotland and would not hesitate to stay here again.

A family trip 7 years in the making
2 families from Denver Colorado area meet family from Liverpool. This was a great place with indoor and outdoor living areas. The Sterling castle shouldn't be missed and we also enjoyed the Falkirk wheel.

Best home we have stayed in yet
The rooms were comfortable, good size and had everything we would need like extra towels and blankets. Having a big full size fridge was perfect for those of us with food allergies and have to cook our own food and they had areas for kids to play outside and games to keep them entertained. It has honestly been the best VRBO in 5 countries that we have stayed in !

Spacious stylish comfort
In our party of six -- four adults, two teens--, everyone got their own bedroom! And we could all debate around the kitchen island (a must for this family). Our stay was short, but we took full advantage. The hot tub works fine. Highly recommended.

Excellent stay in Menstrie
Spacious comfortable house, stylish but not fussy. Very comfortable beds, lots of wardrobe space, good showers. Fabulous hot tub! Great spot for touring castles and countryside - and excellent hill walks from the door. Stirling nearby is great for shops, cinema, museums and restaurants. Excellent host - super helpful.

Lovely cottage with great location
Great cottage which was a great size for our party lf 8. Fantastic welcome from our host who had left a gorgeous cake and treats for our stay which was to celebrate my parents 80th. Hot tub was an added bonus for the weekend. All amenities in the property were excellent and it was a great base to explore Stirling and a little further to St Andrew’s. Would return and recommend. Thanks for a great stay.
