Nice place, great location, and wonderful staff. No wifi in rooms and food was expensive. Should have offered a food discount for broken wifi.

The location is just perfectly in central Stirling. Our room had a view of the Wallace monument! A v short walk gets you to shops, restaurants, train station, bus station, library etc. For us it was luxury, comfy beds, plenyy space, welcoming foyer and people. We were half hour early for check in and it was no problem. Would have like to partake of their 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' s that are organised there
