Great stay. Up to standard and rooms were nice. There was a function on during our first night but it only meant we had to park further away but it was only an inconvenience for a day. Food was great and the room was very clean and a great size for what we paid.

Great place 👍 they had a great bar and live music. Enjoyed our room, comfortable bed. However, there was some construction that was a bit of a nuisance and the hallway had some missing ceiling tile that exposed pipes. We did not see anyone working on it for 2 days of our stay. Still, overall it was not a bad place to stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Beautiful old building with lots of character. Be aware there are many steps and only one lift, so it’s not very convenient with luggage—you often need to carry your belongings because of the carpets and split levels. The Hotel lobby is very spacious, with plenty of areas to sit and relax. The staff are very nice and clean the rooms every day. I really enjoyed the swimming pool, hot sauna, and steam room, although they close early at 8 pm. Food service also ends at 8:30 pm. The location is quite remote, with no shops or gas stations nearby. Overall, we had a great time here.

Gorgeous old building on a great property. Welcoming staff. Facility tired and a bit run down. Rooms clean and functional but dated. Looked like significant upgrades were starting with scaffolding around Stirling Wing. Can walk into town in about 10 minutes and great access to Stirling, Glasgow, Edinburgh and Trossachs within one hour max. Despite comments about tired facility above, we would go back.

Concierge was excellent! Staff was helpful and breakfast, though too expensive, was good. The hotel has some age on it and many ups and down stairs in the hallways didn't make sense if you have mobility issues. Priced kind of high for the age of the building.

As you come up the drive to the hotel, it looks magnificent. Unfortunately it is somewhat tired and in need of updating. Our room was small, with a shower over a bath with a shower curtain, no coffee machine, no bottled water, no fridge, and few sockets. We sat in the lounge in threadbare chairs at a chipped Formica topped table because the bar had TVs showing game shows. There was annoying thumping music everywhere in public areas. The breakfast was an adequate buffet. The facilities were similar to a Premier Inn but twice the price, rather tired and not totally clean.

Initially given a room that hadn't been cleaned so offered a smaller room for the same price which didn’t seem right to me. Then told that the restaurant was fully booked so had to make do with the bar menu which was very limited. Food was good and the staff friendly. I expected more from this hotel.

This hotel was in a beautiful location. The staff were friendly and check in was a breeze! I loved the warm chocolate chip cookies we were given upon arrival. The hotel has a lot of halls with short stairs that make hauling suitcases a pain, but it’s an old building so to be expected. We loved the coffee shop in Dunblane…Beech Tree I think was the name. Great location close to Stirling castle and other attractions.
