There is a lot involved with the decor in this place, so expect some dust in harder to clean areas. That said, we rented the upper suite and the unit was huge compared to most. It was great to have 2 ensuite bathrooms. Notably, the shower on the second floor of the upstairs unit had issues with consistency of flow and temperature, possibly when others were touching the faucets in other rooms (unconfirmed). There is some traffic noise from the street out front, but overall, this place was fabulous and we would definitely stay there again.

The property was great. It was a full apartment on the main drag, but surprisingly quiet. The WiFi was strong. The kitchen was fully stocked. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The TV had a lot of channel options. The points of contact were prompt at addressing any concerns. If we could afford it, we'd buy it ourselves.

A lovely property which is well situated. It had everything we needed. Unfortunately there is a lot of noise transfer from the apartment above. When I tried to contact the owner it took 4 days to get an answer, despite me using the numbers provided. Overall we enjoyed our stay but would definitely stay in the top apartment next time.

Lovely stay in Stirling

Communication before our arrival was excellent. Getting into the property no problem. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable. Very well equipped with everything that we needed. Great to have a small supermarket next door. The minor issue for us was having only one parking space per apartment although there was a lot of on street parking available. Would definitely stay again.

Short but sweet!

Unfortunately we were in Sterling for 2 nights, but only one day however Alison did everything she could to be accommodating. We arrived later than originally planned but she didn’t bat an eye. She told us about a great casual restaurant (just what we wanted) within walking distance for dinner and also told us about things to do in Sterling the following day. We also had a very early flight in Edinburgh our 2nd morning and would miss breakfast so she packed us food to take along to eat before we boarded our plane. In addition the breakfast we had when we were there was outstanding! We toured Stirling Castle while we were there (which is pretty amazing), had lunch at Darnley’s House (Mary Queen of Scott husband’s childhood home) and took a tour of Stirling Distillery where Charlie told us how they make gin and had us taste it too!! Very enjoyable!!

Nice hotel in residential area

This b&b was located a 30 min walk from city centre. Nice to be in a residential area but we wouldn’t stay here again if we wanted to explore the night life every night. Quiet area with basic amenities close by. You can also hear your fellow houseguests but that’s to be expected in this older home. Bed frames were very old and very squeaky with every turn you make while sleeping.

The Old Tram House was adequate but not especially outstanding.

The breakfast was good and cooked to order

Bed and Breakfast did not live up to expectation

Although clean, this bed and breakfast was a disappointment. Claustraphobic and cluttered are the main adjectives I would use for the entire experience. Our room had so much furniture we could not navigate around the bed. There were silly trinkets on every surface, interfering with he ability to use the room. The dining room was even worse! Silly items were all over the single, large table where guests were told where to sit in uncomfortable silence. If I had wanted to be treated like a petulant child, I would have gone back to boarding school. We were uptight during the entire time at this spot. It was not a friendly, welcoming venue.

Immaculate room, would have liked an extra wall or wardrobe mirror in bedroom and better lighting over mirror in bathroom - not easy to apply make-up in either bathroom or bedroom.

Beautiful B&B just outside Stirling

We only got to stay at this B&B a short time due to our early flight, but I would definitely recommend. The lady who checked us in (I think it was Allison) was so friendly and made lots of recommendations about what to do and where to eat. The room was beautifully decorated and very comfortable (our room had a couch and 2 bunk beds in addition to the queen size bed, meant for a family). We didn't get the chance to have breakfast there, but it would have been served in a lovely dining room around one table, so would have been nice to eat with the guests. On a busy street but was quiet. Would have liked to stay longer.

Highly Recommend Old Tram-House in Stirling

Great location in Stirling.... We liked to walk, so we took a 40 minute walk up the hill to Stirling Castle, toured the castle, then crawled our way back to the Old Tram-House through the Pubs and restaurants... Met some very friendly folks in Stirling, especially, Alice, the proprietor of the Old Tram-House... Room was large... Bathroom was the largest of any B&B we stayed over our three weeks of travel through UK and Ireland... Breakfast set up and presentation in the dining room was the best I've seen... Thank you, Alice for your hospitality and advice... Highly recommend!

There were many other wondrous things as well such as fresh homemade bread, dried fruits, yogurt, cereals all set out on a large side table.
