Cottage holiday rentals in Stirling

Lakeside Cottage is beautiful, peaceful, steeped in history & easy to access once you know where it is, we drove past it 3 times lol. We were greeted with gorgeous fresh flowers in each room & a very tasty bottle of prosecco. Most Definitely will be going back at some point in the near future & can't recommend it enough as a quiet getaway - listening to the river Ayr was blissful!!

Incredible views around Elie, the coast and golf course. The property is highly specced and we could not be happier with our visit. Fiona provides clear instructions on how to access the property. Will definitely be back!!

Our stay lived up to high expectations. Ainslie went over and above with decorations for my boyfriend’s birthday; welcome notes; homemade cake; fizz and ice in the fridge. She was warm and welcoming, and we felt completely relaxed. So grateful for such a lovely stay in a beautiful area. We will definitely be back! Thank you Ainslie 🥰🤩🥳

A great getaway with loads to do close by for whatever mood you're in - great towns and cities like Calendar and Stirling less than half an hour away, equally beautiful countryside and multiple waterfalls, lochs and walks to choose from on the doorstep. Our toddler loved the on site swimming pool and the grown ups enjoyed the peaceful views from the hot tub too! Rosie was so friendly and accommodating.

An absolute stunning break, our third time here. A quiet, comfortable home and a spectacular garden space for my autistic son to be himself, and my 3 Chihuahuas felt like they were in heaven. The hot tub was well used, even my elderly mum had a go. We had some lovely visits to the surrounding areas but mostly enjoyed the rest and relaxation that we all needed. We can’t wait to come back again.

We had a great stay in this beautiful house. Super easy to find an ideal location for peaceful weekend and only short drive to local attractions. Great safe enclosed garden for the dogs and lovely walks from the front door. Hot tub and sauna were a fantastic addition, loved the Aga too.

I had a lovely weekend in Dawn and Darren’s wonderful cottage! It was clean and spacious, with great amenities . The added bonus of having a wood fire hot tub outside is fantastic! The cottage is in a lovely area for getting into nature, only a 10 minute walk to Loch Leven! Dawn was great to communicate with, very helpful and generous Will be back to visit again!

Was very happy with our stay here, The evening with the hot tub was lovely and private, everything was clean and well presented. There was games left in the house for our use and we got use of these. The instructions before arriving to find location was helpful although the postcode in Apple Maps did take us straight the correct location which was great. Overall we were very pleased with the whole experience and would stay again. The added bonus was the hosts had a new puppy and we got to meet this beautiful fur baby on checkout.

Really enjoyed staying here. Beautiful surroundings yet not too far from Glasgow. The cottage was spotless and a great size, felt right at home. Loved seeing the chickens. Host was really helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend and hope to come back.

Lucy is a very kind and generous person. She will do her utmost to help with any problems. Yesterday, I went out the back door to find a box of eggs from her chickens. She leaves them regularly. I know if there is anything where I need assistance I just need to ask and she's there. A truly super host

The stay at the beautiful cottage was exceptional. The views from the house are amazing, the house is equipped with high end bathroom and bedroom fabrics and amenities and the house is beautifully decorated and very spacious. Even more beautiful than on the pictures. As a welcome there was a hand written card and hand picked wildflowers and a very generous food package with milk, eggs, ciders, treats etc. Rachel was responding very quickly and was super nice and helpful. When we are in the area again we would be back any time. Highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Ginny’s cottage - it’s incredibly comfortable, with stunning views and easy access to lovely local walks. The spacious garden was a real highlight - perfect for our dog to explore, and we were lucky enough to see the red squirrels at the feeders! Ginny was a communicative and thoughtful host: communication was smooth and everything was just as described. We also hugely enjoyed the delicious baked goods and beautiful flowers from Ginny’s sister, Lynne. A very peaceful trip, would happily return!

Words cannot express the wonderful week we have had on Loch Katrine. Old Smiddy is ideally located for hiking the mountains, lochs and woodland and Carole has thought of all you need to make it feel like a home from home. Having our morning tea watching the Barn Swallows and House Martins catching their breakfast on the lake in the sunshine was very special. Aberfoyle has all you need for food and cute shops and fantastic Doone Hill walk from the town - Free Parking!!! A ferry trip on the Sir Walter Scott from the pier over to Trossachs Pier is a MUST and the Primrose Hill hike was stunning. The Pier Cafe is outstanding, definitely worth a treat and just a short walk away. Thank you Carole for sharing your amazing house, we will be back to enjoy the hot tub and sauna 🤞

We stayed at Gaeles place for 2 nights as a family with 3 kids. We felt instantly at home, welcomed by a burning log fire and bottle of wine. Gaele was very helpful, offering suggestions for where to eat and visit nearby. We slept well in the very cosy comfortable beds. We were sad to leave, wishing we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful little cottage has everything you need to feel right at home. It has a well equipped kitchen and comfortable living area. The bedroom is relaxing and bed is very comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful. Chris and janet have put lots of local information in the cottage to help make the most of your stay. Only draw back is there is no shop in fortingall, so your nearest shop is in Aberfeldy 7miles away ( not a big deal for us as we were out most of the day). We would highly recommend a visit to the owl house. Many thanks for hosting us. We might see you again when we come back to climb meall nan tarmachan at some point x

lovely peaceful cottage. Great location to walk to town. very comfy beds. lovely cosy living room with a great sofa to spall out on.

We had a lovely visit to Blackridge. The property was in a rural setting. Up a long private road so we was happy we had the car. We laughed when we got back from shopping with icecream lollies, to find there was no freezer. So we had to have icecreams for lunch, which wasn't a problem in the end. The property had everything we needed and more, with board games, a lovely starter pack of bread butter milk and eggs was much appreciated. We came and went as we pleased and the location was perfectly in between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Duncan was very informative and welcoming. Perfect little weekend had by all for of us.

We had a great stay at Signal House. It is an a calm, peaceful and beautifully furnished cottage. Close to all the sites, groceries and restaurants. If you are fine with stairs (stairs up from the street and stairs from the kitchen and bedroom to the sitting area and patio) this cottage worth the extra money. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking in. The bed is comfy. The view of the castle from the sitting room and patio is truly stunning. We highly recommend Signal House!

Very nice place to stay if you value peace and quiet in beautiful surroundings. Great beaches, villages and parks to explore ( car needed, I would say). Very well equipped and clean kitchen. A wood burning stove was available, we didn't need it during our visit, but a bonus in colder months .The 2 bathrooms were warm, plenty of towels. The 2 bedrooms were of a very good size with comfy beds. What more could you need ? 😊

Fairygreen Cottage was the last stop on our holiday trip and it couldn't have been better! From the first step into the house until the very last minute, we absolutely enjoyed our stay there. The cottage is lovingly furnished, equipped with everything one needs and shows a high standard in quality. We felt very welcomed and comfortable and wish to come back!

What a fantastic space. Beautiful cottage and gardens and stunning surroundings. Great friendly and helpful hosts. A good spot with lots of things to do and see. We had a wonderful week at Arrivain and would definitely go back.

Absolutely loved our stay here. Very spacious and the garden was so pretty. Loved Scotland and would definitely recommend this place. Also loved the walk up the hill. Rewarding view at the lookout. Stunning! Great recommendation.

We wanted to try somewhere different to our usual, that was within our budget, that is dog friendly and Ian’s place stood out by far. This converted church is tucked away between two properties, which we never knew existed! It has a beautiful driveway leading up to the property. The church is shared with a lovely elderly couple (who share the same entrance, but have their own front door to their side of the church) who visit every so often and maintain the grounds. The church has some of the original features which is nice to see and the original stained glass windows. The ground floor master bedroom is a reasonable size and the bed is absolutely comfy! The kitchen is very reasonable sized for both of us. The best feature is the glass conservatory which is a nice place to relax, have a few drinks and watch the wildlife, the birds nest & firth of Clyde. The upstairs is nice and relaxed with two single beds & amazing view of the stars & sunset/rise. Highly recommended!

Donny and Alison's place was wonderful! Highly recommended quaint seaside cottage with beautiful landscaping. Thank you for a lovely experience!
