St Johns Jailhouse by the Castle

Immerse yourself in a bygone era at St John's Jailhouse, perched just steps away from Stirling's most legendary attractions. Dating back to c.1775, our spacious 3 bedroom apartment has recently been meticulously restored to celebrate its rich history going back 250 years, whilst offering a luxuriously modern living experience. Situated in the heart of the old town, the Castle, Tolbooth and Old Town Jail are right on your doorstep, with the city's top restaurants and bars just a short walk away.

Located on the top floor, nestled among the rooftops, every window offers a curated view of a city steeped in history.

After a busy day exploring the local attractions, the cosy living room provides the perfect setting to unwind. A 55" smart TV loaded with the latest on-demand shows and Netflix, along with an array of locally sourced books and board games, ensures entertainment for the whole family. For all your culinary adventures, the fully equipped kitchen off the living room features modern conveniences, including a state-of-the-art steam oven, induction hob and dishwasher.

Facing out to the Tolbooth 'The William Wallace Room' has been sympathetically restored to reflect its traditional grandeur, showcasing the original hardwood flooring throughout and breath-taking views of across the old town to the Ochil Hills beyond.

Facing the Old Town Jail to the rear, our equally glamorous 'Mary Queen of Scots Room' offers an opulent boutique design with a modern twist, complimented by picturesque views of the Old Town Jail to wake up to.

Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and king-sized beds with luxuriously thick 7-layer mattresses, coupled with rich linens, ensuring an exceptionally restful night’s sleep.

Our third bedroom, features spacious bunk beds designed for adults, complete with our luxurious single-sized 7-layer mattresses and equally exquisite views across the old town. With design inspired by Scotland's renowned wizarding franchise.

We understand the importance of a great night’s sleep, which is why every room is fitted with full blackout Roman blinds.

Free parking is available throughout your stay, please inquire for availability at time of booking. On-street parking is free throughout the evenings from 5:30pm - 8:45am and otherwise paid outside these hours. Further details provided upon making your reservation.

We are an 18th Century Building packed full of Character, part of which is its original stair-tower located within a turret! Consequentially, it is not suitable for those with limited mobility as there are some steps to reach us on the second floor; but we promise the views can certainly justify it!

We are a licenced short term rental with Stirling Council. You can rest knowing your stay meets the high standards set by the Scottish Government, in order to host you. Licence Number: ST00314F
