Description from owner
Description
Bankend farmhouse near Stirling was built around the turn of the last century, set in outstanding countryside ,surrounded by fantastic views. It offers a high standard of accommodation and comfort. It has a great location and makes exploring Scotland very easy from this idyllic base I The house has been recently restored and offers 2 double bedrooms,2 twin rooms and 1 triple room,all with glorious views, of Stirling Castle and Wallace Monument. Downstairs there are 2 public rooms , as well as a large kitchen with dining area seating 10 and a large modern shower room. The main sitting room looks directly at Stirling Castle , A lovely wood burning stove and flat screen TV are in the second sitting room close to the large kitchen /dining area which leads via French doors to all fresco dining and barbecue area. There is ample space for cars at the back door.
This lovely home is equally suited to a small number of guests, it has a great feel and rather than feeling huge it just seems to evolve , it's a tardus !
It has a unique location, being close to town and main road network only a couple of miles away, yet it's a peaceful beautiful setting .

“Family getaway”
Such a lovely cottage. With only 6 in our party, there was so much room to relax. 5 bedrooms and 2 sitting rooms, plus a roomy kitchen, was all that we needed. Val was a lovely host, with nothing being too much trouble. Location proved to be a great base for days out around Stirling, Falkirk, Perth and the Trossachs. You need a car, but if you don't mind a drive out, there is so much to see. Thank you Val, for a lovely stay in your beautiful cottage.

“Cold and disappointing”
Thought this would be better given the other reviews. Now unsure if they stayed at the same place. Cold and lack of service/welcome. Could do with a clean.

“A beautiful home from home”
I recently stayed here with my husband, 3 daughters and our friends and thier 2 sons. The pictures do not do justice to how well presented and homely it is here, Val made us feel so welcome and had milk, tea & coffee in the kitchen for us. There is so much space and the layout means everyone could spread out.. eating breakfast with the horses looking on made it so much more delightful. This a perfect location and not far from the road we never heard a single traffic noise. 10 Minutes from Stirling castle and 5 minutes from the Super Market. Will definitely be booking again...

“Fabulous Cottage”
A great find for a family weekend of birthday celebrations in Stirling and a great base to explore the various attractions nearby. The cottage was more than big enough for 8 of us to not feel like we were on top of each other. In the words of a six year old - an awesome house to stay in! We would definitely go back.
