Castlecroft Guest House

Stirling


Nestling into the hillside behind the castle, this hideaway feels like a rural retreat but is a short, spectacular walk from the heart of Stirling. The lounge and deck area enjoy views over green fields to the nearby hills, the rooms have excellent modern bathrooms, and the welcome couldn't be warmer. Breakfast features homemade bread, among other delights.
