Don’t let the quaint stone exteriors of this cottage, set just a ten-minute drive from Stirling, fool you – inside, it’s a surprisingly spacious home. A practical choice for multi-generational family stay, bedrooms are split across two floors, and each comes with its own bathroom. While the traditional interiors aren’t anything to write home about, the setting surely is. From the private enclosed garden, admire sweeping Highland views, or set off on walking trails leading to the Ochil Hills. Ready for a dose of local life? The welcoming pubs of nearby Gargunnock are within walking distance for an evening of Ceilidh song and cheer – just like you imagined.
