Argyll & Stirling holiday apartment: Stirling

Never having been to Scotland, I wanted to find a central location to use as a home base to explore this beautiful country. My family and I were very fortunate to find The Courtyard. The description and pictures are accurate, but do not do it justice. It is such a wonderful place to stay with everything you need (Kirsteen even had blow dryers available!) . The grocery store is close if you need food or other supplies as is downtown Stirling for shopping and restaurants (I highly recommend Ciscos for breakfast!). Kirsteen and Robby (the owners) were very responsive to our needs and helpful in every regard. The rooms were clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend staying here. There are many things to see in and around Stirling or, if like us, use this lovely place as a home base to explore Edinburgh, Glasgow, and the surrounding area.

When browsing for somewhere to stay in Scotland, I was impressed by the look of the Courtyard and was certainly not disappointed in the least, it was everything we were expecting, in fact it was better than we thought. There were 6 of us staying at the property ranging from 1 year old to 87! and we couldn't fault a thing, The property being on the ground flood was great for both Daniel (1) and Rene (87). Dan loved exploring and everything in the property was child friendly, evident that the owners had children, which was great. The owners Kirsteen and Robbie were very friendly and welcoming and offered advice on days out and good restaurants / take aways! nothing was a bother, which was great. The toys which were left for Dan the man to play with were great as well as the baby monitors as it certainly lightened the load. Kirsteen and Robbies two children Darcy and Ayley were very friendly too and even invited Dan into their garden to play on their very impressive tree house! which unfortunately we never got the chance to do as we ran out of time! The house itself was immaculate, well equipped and contemporary. The location was great and the town centre was just a few minutes walk away. There was also a good park nearby for Dan to play in which he loved. Good base location to visit Perth, The Trossachs, Loch Lomond, Edinburgh & Glasgow and the Blair Drummond Safari Park was a fab day out. We have booked to go again next year and to be honest we wouldn't look to book anywhere else if having a holiday in Scotland. We have recommended The Courtyard already to friends who are looking to go to Scotland next year and will certainly recommend to anyone else looking to holiday in Scotland. Book up, you won't be disappointed!!

We had a really good stay at 'The Courtyard'. It was indeed a home from home with everything we could require. We stayed there with my daughter, son in law and 2 year old grandson. The stay was made even better by the provision of cot, highchair and other childrens requirements. Suitable toys and books really made a wee boy very happy! The property is in a great location with shops and restaurants close by. Clean warm and comfortable I would certainly reccommend it.
