Enjoy morning coffee from the lounge Juliette balcony overlooking the River Forth, whilst planning your trip around the many historic sites of Stirling (where Braveheart & Outlander are based). Inspire your inner Royalty with a day at Stirling Castle. Or listen to the nature whilst plotting your route around the nearby Lochs & Munros (lakes & mountains). Take a short walk into Stirling Town Centre where you'll find great restaurants, shopping and transport links to nearby Edinburgh, Glasgow and beyond. This beautiful Scottish apartment has just been fully renovated up to a cosy and modern standard. It is right on the River Forth with amazing views of Stirling's 2 main landmarks as you come and go - The Wallace Monument & Stirling Castle. You can relax in the living area with views of another landmark; The Cambuskenneth Abbey and listen to the River Forth as it flows by. There is plenty wildlife nearby too, should you like a walk around the winding river or take a trip to Loch Lomond & The Trossachs which is only a 45 minute drive. The master bedroom has a king size bed and double wardrobes. The single room has a single bed with a wardrobe. The apartment features a brand new bathroom with a powerful shower and waterfall tap for the bathtub. The living room has a comfortable sofa, a smart TV for Netflix, Amazon Prime etc and a dining table in which you can eat and/or work from using our free and fast wifi. The balcony doors open wide looking on to the beautiful Scottish Countryside. Cook in the kitchen, eat out or order in from one of the excellent restaurants in Stirling. We provide all basic amenities such as soap, shampoo, shower gel and have a washing machine, hair dryer, iron etc all to use during your stay here. The apartment is just 15 minutes walk to the Town Centre & Train/Bus Station or 40 minutes drive to the Capital City - Edinburgh and Scotland's largest City - Glasgow. There are 3 main airports nearby - Edinburgh, Glasgow International & Prestwick.
Our names are Gemma & Tam and we are from Stirling. We love to meet new people, travel, go to the gym and eat good food. We have lived in Stirling our full life so know the area very well. We are always more than happy to help with questions or give recommendations on places to eat or things to do or answer any questions you may have!
The apartment is in a quiet, popular and extremely central area of Stirling called Riverside in which the River Forth winds round. It has great walks along the River with views of the Wallace Monument, Stirling Castle, Stirling Bridge and Cambuskenneth Abbey. The apartment is a short walk (10-15 minutes) to the Town Centre where you can go shopping, find great restaurants, bars and get a bus/train to other Cities in Scotland. There are convenience stores 2 minutes walk from the apartment or a large Tesco just a 20 minute walk. There are also many leisure centres nearby - Ten Pin Bowling Alley with an Arcade, a Cinema, a Swimming Pool, Ice Skating Rink, Climbing Wall and Tennis/Badminton Courts and plenty of Gyms too!
