The Duty Manager was wonderfully helpful when we couldn’t get the heating to work in any of the three bedrooms. She cam and sorted it out while we were having supper. Excellent service.

Elaine, the host, provided a warm welcome and was available for any questions.
I loved the location, ideal for exploring the Central Belt and The Trossachs. Wallace Monument is a short drive away and the location perfect for local shops and the retail park.
Brewers Fayre across the road, did not cater for my dietary requirements. I am gluten and yeast intolerant so an evening meal there was not suitable. I can however recommend The Holly Bank restaurant a short drive away.
The bed was very comfortable in the accommodation, location quiet too.
We liked the little garden at the front. We travelled with our dog, so the lane up the side was perfect for the toilet breaks.
The luxurious Victoria Square and the Orangery Restaurant shares the elegance of this desirable area of Stirling, with a selection of distinctly styled en suite rooms.

Lovely town! We were sorry to be here for only one night.
Lovely town! We were sorry to be here for only one night. We should have stayed two, as there were a few other attractions that we did not get to see. We loved the castle, Church of the Holy Rude and the cemetery.

Stirling exceeded our expectations. It was rich in history.
Stirling exceeded our expectations. It was rich in history. The locals were very friendly and helpful. There was a wide variety of restaurant options. Even the thrift stores were top notch. There were several options to enjoy entertainment. We highly recommend the Settle Inn (on St. Mary’s Wynd) the oldest ale house in town (300+yrs). We were very moved by the traditional folk music performed by the locals. We also recommend joining in on one of the free guided tours in the Castle. It’s a great way to get to know the gossip of the royals and renegades.

There is so much to see and to absorb if you love history and want to know where your ancestors came from. Essential: talk to people wherever you go. There is so much to learn from those who staff the historic sites! Dee and Trisha were great sources of info. See Holy
Rude Church and the connected graveyard. Wow! Always ask for the hidden or less seen places. The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum is a quirky gem. (It has the oldest known football.) Things to remember: walking is great, but challenging. Taking a taxi sometimes makes you miss some of the things, however, like going through the graveyard at Holy Rude.

I really liked Stirling however the stress of being unable to access the Mar Apartment as pin to access was not sent and which we had paid for through Booking.com and having to go searching for alternative accommodation at 8pm was the most stressful and upsetting thing I have ever experienced on holiday. The owner was uncontactable although I tried to call her 20 times and sent several emails and Booking.com did not help just kept saying to ring the owner. The situation has become even more upsetting as both Booking and the owner of the Mar Apartment are refusing to refund my money. Will never return to Stirling. Will never use Booking.com again. Awful experience.

Stirling is a lovely area.
Stirling is a lovely area. The castle is really interesting but there is a lot of walking on cobbles. We are getting on a bit so found it a bit uphill and down dale but well worth a visit. 20 minutes drive from Stirling are The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. The Kelpies are amazing and if you book a tour they take you inside, a must for any engineer. Falkirk Wheel is more interesting watching from outside but is an absolute master in engineering. Stirling town centre had a lovely shopping Mal we just found it busy and difficult to park.
I booked with Springfields lodge as the hotel I originally booked with cancelled our booking.
I was fortunate to come across springfield Lodge which was nearer to where our family lived. The location was perfect with Wallace monument less than a mile away and the city centre of Stirling approximately 2 miles away with the historic Stirling Castle to explore.
Both Kevin and Kim were the perfect host, very friendly making sure our stay with them was relaxing, and sharing their local knowledge of where to visit or dine out.
Staff was very kind, breakfast was good, location of the hotel is very good at the centre of Stirling. Lots of pubs just a few meters away. I was traveling with my wife and 2 friends. We booked the "Two-Bedroom Apartment". The apartement was quite spacious with 2 rooms with double beds, a kitchen with all the needed appliances and a washing machine and there was a big living room with a diner table. It is a very good option if you intend to stay several days in Stirling.
Tastefully decorated, comfy & well equipped self catering accommodation for a family of four including picnic table on veranda & lovely views of fields full of horses outside.
Great facilities including washing machine, clothes horse etc.
Also lots of activities on site: children's play areas & giant bouncing pillow, horse riding, fishing etc.
Also close to Stirling, great for visiting Stirling Castle & also the Falkirk Wheel & the Kelpies sculpture in Falkirk.
The accommodation is located just outside Stirling (with excellent parking space for all guests) in a very tranquil area. Lovely garden outside with sitting area.
Spacious bathroom (compared to other B&B we stayed in Scotland) and much appreciated tea & coffee facilities (and hairdryer). We booked a triple room that was exactly as advertised.
15/20 minutes away from Midhope Castle and Hopetoun House (for Outlander fans) and just 30 minutes from Edinburgh airport.
The owner is so welcoming and obviously a superbly experienced host. From tea and biscuits served in the huge lounge (great views across the garden) on our arrival to homemade bread at breakfast. The latter was fabulous and so much choice. Laura was able to give us maps and information about the area and was very warm. 15 mins walk to town. The room was gorgeous with a small outdoor terrace. Free parking. An absolute must if you stay in Stirling.
The hotel is very convenient to the train and bus stations. I cannot say enough good things about the staff, they were all very polite and helpful. The hotel is also a restaurant and bar which was nice, and the food is very good! The room was great, with a very comfortable bed and a big bathtub that you can soak in after trekking all day around Stirling.
Friendly staff in a comfortable hotel. The hotel was a short walk (though steep at times) to both the centre of Stirling and Stirling Castle. (Castle is well worth a visit). The breakfast was very good although buffet style (not served to table - perhaps Covid related). The dinner was excellent.
Very good breakfasts at a very good price. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Great localisation close to Stirling city centre, 5 mins to walk to the train station, then only 40 mins to Edinburgh city centre. Stirling is also very charming and has a castle much better than in Edinburgh.
We didn't eat there, our budget not enough for their restaurant. Wetherspoons and lots of eateries in Stirling Lovely hotel in old Victorian school. Quirky. Modern extension done in Renee Macintosh style- lovely. Staff great. Nice pool and leisure centre. Dog friendly. Big car park.
From entering the venue the staff were amazing and very professional.
The room was clean and I used the bar area and the drinks were reasonably priced for a hotel with very nice friendly staff.
The breakfast buffet in the morning was very nice and the food was really nice and hot
The Golden Lion Hotel is positioned in a great area .. You can walk to many of the tourist attractions, just a short walk to Stirling Castle. We had a lovely evening meal in the restaurant and breakfast was hot and served by great staff ... this is our second stay at this hotel.
The central yet private and quiet location
The comfort and quality of the furniture
The quality of kitchen appliances/utensils etc.
The beds were especially comfy
Easy access to castle, countryside and Stirling city centre.
Liked how central the Hotel was
Price was fantastic for 2 rooms
Shower was good although bath took a while to fill.
Staff were very accommodating for our problems as we had a few mishaps with key cards on our behalf.
Fantastic location, not too far from Stirling city centre.
Friendly staff who are extremely accommodating.
The children loved the play area and seeing the horses from the Equestrian Centre.
The staff were so amazing! I would go back just for them!! The hotel is lovely and the food is very good. The location was convenient to lots of things we wanted to see. Stirling is beautiful.
I loved that the hotel is right on the university campus and located conveniently to the bus stop.
It was great that there was a bathtub in the room!
The staff were friendly and accomodating.
It was very close to the train station. You get a full featured apartment for less then the cost of a hotel room. The people of Stirling were friendly and very helpful.
