The perfect place to stay. It was so conveniently located in Bridge of Allan. The train station made it easy to visit surrounding areas. The flat itself had everything we needed and more. Jane is a lovely host that goes above and beyond. I would absolutely stay there again and will recommend this listing to friends traveling in the area.

Our stay in Bridge of Allan was absolutely perfect! We were there for a family occasion and Jane's lovely flat was the ideal location to base ourselves. Everything was just as we were hoping it would be, with the addition of some lovely personal touches. Check in was easy, Jane is the absolute perfect host! I can't wait for an occasion to return and we will most definitely stay again. Location is peaceful and close to town to walk and parking on the street was never a problem. Flat was spacious and had everything we needed. If it's in bloom, be sure to stop and smell the beautiful peach roses as you come in the gate!!

This is one of our favorite stays anywhere! Jane is a fantastic host and Bridge of Allen is perfectly situated next to our son's university, the city of Stirling and the natural beauty at the footstep of the Highlands. The apartment is cozy and feels like home away from home.

Lovely flat in a lovely area

The flat was lovely - just as described - and made a great base for our weekend. Our host, Jane, had put in lovely personal touches, such as home made jam, to make it feel more like a home than a rental apartment. Will definitely be back next time we are staying near Stirling - and we loved Ivy the dog too!
