Comfortable and affordable - except for the bar measures and prices.
Pros:

The hotel was central to the town. It was clean, tidy and comfortable. The meals are pub style and good value. Staff were friendly.

Cons:

Being central was a convenient but it was on the Main Street and they traffic noise in the morning was annoying. We had dinner in the restaurant/bar but they couldn’t come up with any English mustard; sorry we don’t have any was the reply. Drink prices were a bit OTT.

séjour basique
Pros:

L'emplacement a été intéressant pour la proximité de Stirling et du parc des Trossachs

Cons:

Petite chambre, petit lit pour 2. La chambre n'a pas été faite pour la deuxième nuit. Petit déjeuner basique et à partir de 19h, cinq plats du menu étaient épuisés. Les nuitées étaient bon marché, l'un explique l'autre.

Hotel with character, a fantastic bar, and beautiful nature trails around the town
Pros:

I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The room was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful. I enjoyed the lovely bar downstairs, and the Full British breakfast was good. The town has a charming atmosphere, and I highly recommend exploring the nature trail around the area, especially the beautiful waterfalls.

Cons:

While my stay was enjoyable, I did notice that the room was a bit tired and showed signs of the hotel’s age. Although the hotel could use some updates, it has its own unique vibe.

Location good, comfy quiet room but needs refurbished and staff dedicated to hotel side. Price was expensive for what yo
Pros:

Location was good, beds were comfy and quiet room despite being linked to a pub.

Cons:

Rooms need refurbished, there was dusty vents, a hole exposing pipework in bathroom and walls had peeling paint from water ingress. Cables from tv were exposed and there was a mirror hanging from TV on wall. Reception is manned by staff from pub, and they were very busy trying to do both things. Our room was not cleaned when we went out or tea/milk replenished. Although when asked staff did get tea/milk for us. The hotel price for two nights was expensive and not worth what we got.
