The room was ideal, spacious, clean and warm, the only down size was that you could only open the windows about half an inch, apparently it is due to health and safety, otherwise staff and hotel was very good.

Despite being far from busy Dinner service was extremely slow so much that we had to leave before our desert arrived. The Breakfast buffet was tepid at best , and unpalateable at worst so much that we went elsewhere second morning. Final straw was having to change rooms at 2am due to a rowdy guest who ignored request for quiet

The noise from upstairs was unbearable. Loud rhythmic heavy bass music playing until I went to complain at 3:30 am. Saturday night. Sunday night noise began to start up at 1030pm and I had to go complain again. Phone in room didn’t work so had to go down in person. 2 nights very little sleep. Would definitely not recommend this hotel

We're used to staying in hotels a fair amount and have stayed here a few times. But felt Stirling Highland wasnt quite what it used to be. The water in the shower in all of our rooms was very cool. Tge staff were pleasa t enough but i felt a nice wee gesture for my mum in laws 80th birthday would have been nice. Even just a happy birthday. And the pool was closed which we knew about but still disappointing. Not sure we'll rush back!
