We tried several times for months to cancel or change this booking. Many times we tried to contact the host in various ways and they never responded. We never got to stay

Great stay!

We enjoyed the history of this place and it was a great way to kick off our two week trip with a local, historic pub below to get to know the people there. They also had local musicians perform!!! You will need to be briefed on how to work the shower and heater…but, overall great place!:)

More than we were hoping for in the middle of everything.

Within walking distance of the train, shopping, entertainment and food. Loved the people we met especially the staff at Nicky-Tams. Would recommend to anyone for one night or one week. Hope to go back.

Great location and people!

The apartment was very nice and clean with a nice bathroom, bedroom and living room with pull out sofa. Cute little kitchen with everything you need. Is actually bigger than the pictures make it seem. Separate entrance from the pub, with its own door to the stairs in the alley. Amazing staff and people there! We loved our stay and getting to know everyone as well as listening to local music. Can't wait to visit again!

Interesting

Overall the apartment was fine for our one-night stay. It is in a great location in town. Since we were there just for the night we did not spend much time there and it was a Sunday so did not notice any issues with sound from the pub downstairs. The bed was comfortable, and the pub downstairs was a fun place. It served our purpose. BTW the restaurant Sida Thai down the street was awesome!

Medieval Building in Great Location

We loved the location, very easy to walk (uphill) to Stirling Castle. And we enjoyed our adventure living temporarily above a very lively Pub with local regulars. Would we stay there again...? Might be "one and done!" Friendly staff got us settled in when we needed some additional linen in order to use the couch for sleeping as well (very firm) and the bed was reportedly soft and lumpy for the family member that drew the bedroom. Great town and rich history so very central for our explorations in the area (Wallace Monument, Doune Castle, Dunblane Cathedral).

First impressions good. Downhill from there.

Treacherous narrow back stairs with grocery deliveries to navigate around in mornings. Terrible shower within tub, no safety hand rail, mold around tub and tiles. No instructions for operating heaters, shower, washing machine (smelled swampy). No drying rack for clothing. Stacking chairs unsafe to sit on. Windows did not close, constant draft. Lumpy mattress, springs poking through. No bedding for sofa bed in living room. Soap containers empty. No serrated knives or a can opener. Door lock very difficult. WOULD NOT RECOMMEND.

Awesome little spot above a bar with a lot of character. Be warned though, it can be loud at night until they close, especially on a Saturday night (piano player was great to listen to though). But still overall a great experience.
