About this property

South Doll Farm Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms

South Doll Farm Cottage is a beautifully renovated 4-bedroom holiday cottage in the tranquil stunning Stirlingshire countryside.

With parts of the cottage dating back over 400 years this spacious holiday home will provide the perfect base for your stay in Scotland. You can enjoy the unrestricted views across the countryside with the Ochil Hills to the north and River Forth to the east while relaxing in the garden after a hard day's sightseeing.

South Doll Farm Cottage is situated 2.1 miles from the closest small village of Dunmore which lies along the road between Throsk and Airth on the banks of the River Forth. The cottage is ideally placed for visiting Stirling or Falkirk, as well as being almost equidistant from Edinburgh and Glasgow. The close proximity to both Kincardine and Clackmannanshire bridges also enables easy access to the Kingdom of Fife and beyond.

Facilities

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads to the twin and kingsize bedroom both of which share the large shower room also located on this floor. The open plan lounge/ dining area has ample seating and dining space for 8 and the uniquely shaped kitchen, which was originally the Dairy Parlour, has everything you need for a self-catering holiday: fridge freezer, electric hob, oven, microwave washing machine, tumble drier and dishwasher.

On the upper floor, you will find a further kingsize bedroom and a single bedroom. The large hall landing is kitted out with bean bags providing a chill out area away from the rest of the house. The large family bathroom has a bath and a separate shower cubicle.

Scottish holiday

Absolutely stunning cottage in a quiet location on the outskirts of the local town. Everything within a few minutes drive Glasgow and Edinburgh both within a half hour drive. With quick access onto the motorway. A lovely clean and comfortable cottage. A very homely feel. Our third time visiting the cottage. And would definitely go again and again.

Such a great location for local and semi distant attractions. Great links to motorways and Larbert Railway station for great days out. Cottage is comfortable and well presented. Carole and her team couldn't have been more helpful.

Comfortable cottage in a great location

We were very pleased with the cottage, there was plenty of room for the 7 of us and ideally located between Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk and Glasgow. We were very warm and cosy and enjoyed ourselves immensely in beautiful Scotland, I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely cottage.

Interesting house

This house was interesting but in many ways unsuitable for us as there is still a few steps to go down to the ground floor bedroom. The second bedroom downstairs is past the living room so access to the bathroom is not private and therefore not suitable for many guests.Upstairs a similar layout with one bedroom being far away from the bathroom.We were disappointed that there was no garden furniture put out when we arrived as for me that was the attraction to the property. After we pointed this out it was rectified late the next morning but therefore limited our use of it .The Perspex cover on the centre table was badly chipped and could have been dangerous for my elderly parents if they grazed their legs in it.The radiator cover in the passage near the kitchen fell off and again could have been dangerous.The location was however convenient for what we wanted to do and see.

nice stay in the Scottish countryside

Property had all amenities and was very clean. Roomy bathrooms and bedrooms. Good amount of hot water and everything well maintained, regarding appliances and premisis. At night, upstairs was hot and downstairs was cold. I really wish that upstairs had some circulation, as it was too warm to sleep there, and we had to sleep downstairs. Know going in that you will not have access to the entire property, and that other guests are staying on other parts of the property. Really appreciated communication with the business office, but did not sync up well with the property manager. Also, the wifi code/password is on the bottom of the router. Property is located well for forays around Stirling/Falkirk, and we took train in to Edinburgh Waverly. Some road noise when outside, but it didn't bother us inside.

I’m glad to hear that you appreciated the roominess and cleanliness of the property . South Doll Farm Cottage dates back in parts over 400 years and, as such, the downstairs part of the property has extremely thick walls in order to keep the warmth in in winter and cool in the slightly warmer summer months. During the dates that you stayed with us, Scotland was experiencing an extremely rare heatwave and, as such, June 2023 has been recorded as Scotland’s hottest June on record . This may explain why you found it hotter in the upstairs part of the property however, as this is such a rare occurrence in Scotland , it really is a one off. I am also at a loss regarding your comment about not syncing up well with regards to communication between the property manager and yourself - we have a whole trail of emails between a member of your group and the property manager to which she responded immediately and put on the heating as requested. She also told your group member to turn off radiators upstairs; the trail of emails is there. Regarding your comment that ‘you will not have access to the entire property, and that other guests are staying on other parts of the property’ - this is entirely untrue . South Doll is a private property with its own private entrance and absolutely no parts of the house are shared with any other guests. It does, however , form part of a traditional farm setting with a courtyard at the rear of the house which has a yard, out houses and barns used by the owner (and not for use by guests of the cottage) of the main farmhouse which is out of view from South Doll Farm Cottage. As there is a huge front area with outside furniture exclusively for use of guests from South Doll Farm Cottage I am unsure as to why you felt the need to go off exploring the other , private , parts of the courtyard area. The property manager is upset that Claire hasn't communicated with you her conversations with the property manager , Carole. Carole gave full instructions and suggestions to just use the fire and not put radiators on upstairs in 28c temperature. Carole worked hard to meet your requirements and received a lovely email from Claire in appreciation. As you can imagine , she's shocked by this review

Great Stay at South Doll Farm Cottage

The setting is delightful! I could see the sheep in the pasture from my room—& loved that. Also, after days of sightseeing & lots of walking, the peace of South Doll Farm Cottage was wonderful. Since we did not rent a car, there was quite a bit of taxi expense getting us to trains. And we had to have 2 taxis for the 7 of us (a 3-generation family group). Communication before our trip was great, Kirsteen faithfully answering questions as I emailed her. And just a couple of things you might want to know about that we experienced—when we arrived there were only 5 forks in the kitchen drawer, even though the table can seat 8, and there were 7 of us. Also, for 73-year-old me, the shower was very difficult to operate, specifically to turn the water on. I realize this may not be an issue for most people, & I was finally able to turn the water off completely, but always had to get help turning it on. Carole responded to a request for regulating the water temperature. And we left a corkscrew there that we purchased. Apparently someone had taken the one that had been there. Overall South Doll Farm Cottage was a wonderful experience for us. Thank you!
