Lovely accommodations; wonderful town
Very nice and spacious living space that was clean and well kept. About a 10 to 15 minute walk to the central part of Bridge of Allan with its shops and restaurants. Jane and her lovely dog Ivy were exceptional hosts.

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!

We couldn’t have wished for more. Great location for visiting my daughter in bridge of Allan as well as perfect for Stirling or the train to Edinburgh or Glasgow. I’ve stayed in Vrbo’s all over the US and Europe for 20 years and Jane’s place is right up there with the best of them. Well equipped, clean and quiet. Jane is a wonderful host

This was my fourth visit - every summer since 2021. Well-equipped, clean and comfortable with books as well as TV. Jane is the ideal hostess - there for questions but otherwise out of the way.

A wonderful property that will not disappoint
We had a great time while in this comfortable, spacious, quiet apartment; we chose it for its convenience to Edinburgh while being in a region with so many attractions. Our choice was a good one. Jane was very easy to work with, quite welcoming, and helpful with our planning. The apartment is conveniently located in a beautiful town, full of restaurants and shops. Being welcomed by Ivy was a bonus, as were the gardens.

Wonderful flat
We had a great stay at the flat. We based ourselves in Stirling so we could do both Edinburgh and the highlands. It was easy to catch the train to Edinburgh for the day. We drove up to Ft. William and took the Jacobite train through the highlands. Great spot to stay if you want to do both. Flat was nice with comfotable beds. It was well appointed and quiet. Located in a nice neighborhood that is close to shops and restaurants.

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.

Lovely and welcoming little home
We really enjoyed our stay. The hostess was so considerate and left us fresh baked treats and water, artisan cheese in the fridge. There was a Nespresso machine onsite; and everything we could possibly need was provided in the well-stocked kitchen. The place was clean, well looked after and cared for. The neighbors were very friendly. And our toddler loved running through the beautiful gardens -- he was so sad to leave his "little house." Would definitely stay again.

Delightful flat
Jane is a delight, and Ivy (her dog) is fun and friendly. The flat is perfect, and the location is easy to access and close to the Meadowpark, a nice pub with very good food. Many good walks and things to see close by. Can not recommend highly enough.

The basement flat is just lovely. Cosy, bright (despite the basement location), tastefully decorated and with everything you need. Visited with my partner and elderly mother so that we could easily visit my sister and her family in B of A. Was perfect for us. The host is very nice and extremely accommodating. We will use again.
