Couldn’t have asked for better!

The flat was beautiful. Modern. Clean and very homey. Jane was a lovely host and her dog Ivy was an added bonus. Bridge of Allan was a great location to travel from. We took the train to Edinburgh and it couldn’t have been easier. And there is a lot to see and do in the area if you have a car. We so enjoyed our stay and didn’t want to leave.

We recently spent six nights in this flat, and greatly enjoyed our stay. It is walkable to the university campus, situated in a beautiful neighborhood, walkable to the dining and shopping in Bridge of Allen, a short drive into Stirling. We appreciated the fully stocked kitchen with anything needed, and the thoughtful items Jane left upon our arrival (bread, butter, milk, granola, sparkling water, and the delicious homemade bread). Anything needed for a self catered stay is here. We would gladly stay in Jane’s flat again, if we are fortunate to return.

Lovely flat in a lovely area

The flat was lovely - just as described - and made a great base for our weekend. Our host, Jane, had put in lovely personal touches, such as home made jam, to make it feel more like a home than a rental apartment. Will definitely be back next time we are staying near Stirling - and we loved Ivy the dog too!

This is one of our favorite stays anywhere! Jane is a fantastic host and Bridge of Allen is perfectly situated next to our son's university, the city of Stirling and the natural beauty at the footstep of the Highlands. The apartment is cozy and feels like home away from home.
