Both were very clean, homely and comfortable and fitted out very well with great facilities. Lovely quiet location, but also close to the centre of Stirling for anything you might need. Eleanor is extremely friendly and welcoming and always willing to help with anything you might require. A great place to stay for business or holiday purposes. :) Stayed at two of the three cottages for business purposes.

We had plenty of room to spread out and the 2 bathrooms was a plus! It rained a lot and we made good use of the laundry facilities! Don't know that it was meant for this use, but the living room sliding door curtain rod made for a great drying rack! Our children were especially happy to have access to wi-fi. The central location allowed us to make the most of day trips to places as far away as Kintyre, where we searched out our ancestors to Loch Ness/Inverness. Other highlights included a cruise on Loch Lomond, catching the Hogwarts Express in Ft. William, and highland games near Perth. We probably put 1000 miles on the rental car! If you visit the Wallace Monument, I recommend catching the shuttle ride to the top and then climbing the hundreds of steps! We appreciated the great view, Eleanor's hospitality and great recommendations for restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the Riverside restaurant. We would definately recommend this accomodation to anyone! Our family of five spent a delightful week at Hawthorne House last August.

Other friends had recommended the area & bungalows - and we like them were not disappointed! Eleanor welcomed us with a lovely warm property and had left tea/coffee/biscuits (Scottish shortbread) and milk. The aroma was second to none helped no doubt by the beautiful vase of flowers left on the table in mid October. Both of the bungalows are spotlessly clean and the beds very comfortable. Eating houses are plentiful in the area with some coffee shops (like dobbies) on your doorstep. We have had the pleasure of staying at the bungalows on 2 occasions!!

The facilities were excellent with the log burning fire making the house very cosy on chilly nights. With a 5 min drive to Stirling it makes a fantastic base with Brackland Falls in Callander, Aberfoyle's Queen Elizabeth Forest Park and Lake Katrin. Would definitely come back.

We found the cottage to the highest standards, spacious, clean and everything you could possibly need to make you feel home from home. it was so homely and little extras that just added that special touch Eleanor is so welcoming and really made us feel welcome. The cottage is ideally situated away from the hustle and bustle but just a short drive way from the centre of stirling with a nice view of Wallace monument on a clear day. So much to see and do. We went to celebrate Hogmonay at Stirling castle i really recommend this if you are looking for something different to do over New Year.We will definately be back some day and i totally recommend it We stayed at Hawthorn Cottage between the Christmas and New year period.

We stayed over Easter and it was just perfect. Beautiful location, fantastic standard of accomodation and some really thoughtful finishing touches that made us feel really welcome. Ideally situated to explore the surrounding area and only a 5 minute drive from Stirling. We will definitely be going back to West Drip Farm! Fiona and Tom: We would highy recommend Hawthorn Cottage.

De même, les charmantes attentions à notre arrivée, telles que bouquet de fleurs, shortbreads, lait au réfrigérateur, assortiment de thés cafés sucres... , témoignent d'un véritable souci de réserver le meilleur accueil à leurs hôtes. En ce qui concerne le cottage lui-même, le niveau de confort (équipements, chauffage...) et de propreté sont optimums. Rien ne manque. Il suffit d'ouvrir les valises et vous êtes chez vous. Quant aux contacts durant le séjour, là aussi, que du bonheur. Le lieu de situation est très intéressant : pour les courses, très grand supermarché à un petit 10 minutes de voiture; pour les excursions, le cottage autorise un très bon rayon d'action (le réseau routier en Ecosse est bon). Encore merci à Eleanor et Andrew pour leur sens de l'hospitalité et leur aide, d'autant que nous avons été confrontés à un sérieux problème pour organiser notre retour sur la France par suite de l'annulation de notre vol (nuage de cendres volcaniques oblige). Cottage 4 étoiles à réserver les yeux fermés avec un excellent rapport qualité/prix (encore mieux qu'en photos). Nadine et Laurent: L’accueil d’Eleanor et Andrew est parfait.

This is our third time back and I cannot rate the cottage(s) highly enough having stayed in both over the last couple of years. The cottages are furnished to an extremely high standard and I would never tire of the wonderful view from the kitchen window ... summer, spring, autumn or winter! We genuinely feel this is our home from home when we visit family in Scotland from our current home in KL.The warm welcome from Eleanor and Andrew, and the small touches like flowers, and weekly cleaning, make this a truly wonderful holiday home. We'll be back soon! Zoe and Tam: Another wonderful stay in Scotland at Rowan Cottage!
