Peaceful stay in a pastoral setting

We enjoyed our short stay at The Granary. It's a very comfortable place set amidst the pastures near Bridge of Allan. Self check-in was very easy and Craig replied to my questions very quickly. Although it's set off from the main road, it was very easy and quick to get to main sights like Stirling Castle and Loch Katrine. Thanks for a great stay!

Peaceful in the country

This is a very quiet country setting, large farm fields, an occasional tractor but for the most part there is very little traffic of any kind. You are about 2 miles outside Bridge of Allan down some narrow 1 lane roads. The unit was very clean with enough starter stuff to get us going, bread, coffee, cookies etc... The owner lives upstairs and was very responsive to our questions. Things here are different than the states but they had no problem explaining things to us. Out 7 night stay was amazing, Thank you Craig and Helen

Uitzicht op de schapen

Ruim verblijf een half uur stappen van het station. Leuke dorpjes en steden in de buurt. Mooie wandelingen in de buurt en in het national park. Wij genoten van de rust en de ruime kamers. Heerlijke vakantiewoning.

Alles wunderbar

Für zwei Personen sehr großzügig. Alles tip top. Ausstattung, Einrichtung sehr modern. Wirklich alles da, was man braucht. Blick auf ein Feld und Hügel. Sehr ruhig gelegen. Schloss Doune ist nicht weit weg (Für Monty Python Fans) Dunblane geht ein Bus (M8) nach Glasgow in einer Stunde und zehn Minuten. Ein wunderbarer Standort um die Städte Glasgow und Edinburgh zu besuchen. Auch zu fen Trossachs ist nur gut eine Stunde mit dem Pkw. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.
