This property is in an ideal location to access many activities and sites in central Scotland. We made the most of our time through visits to delightful sites in Stirling, but also exploring Trossachs National Park, the Highlands, St Andrews, and Edinburgh...all a short distance by car or bus from the property. We were very impressed with the condition of the house and the welcoming neighborhood of tree-lined streets and well-manicured gardens. The host made the house even more welcoming with lovely photographic art of the region in the rooms and a kitchen that was superbly equipped and ready for us to prepare most of our own meals. Additionally, the host (Anne) prepared a thoughtful basket of Scottish treats to welcome us in. The communication with the host leading up to our arrival and while in place was of the highest caliber; quick to answer questions and thorough in providing useful information in preparation for our arrival. We have stayed in self-catering properties all over the world, and The Laurels is definitely one of the best holiday locations we have experienced.
