Located in the prestigious Kings Park area of Stirling and occupying the entire ground floor of a sandstone period villa, this smart apartment is ticking all our boxes. A great option for friends or family sharing, the generous Victorian-era proportions of the bedrooms really show here, and there’s heaps of space to spill out in the free-flowing living and dining set-up, which leads outside onto a private patio with leafy green views. Location-wise, there’s plenty to explore on foot in and around Striling – starting with the mighty castle. Here to explore other central Scotland hotspots? Gillies Hill, the Trossachs and Edinburgh are all an easy drive away.

• There is paid parking available on the premises. However, Striling’s centre is within easy walking distance, so a car isn’t a necessity. Charging of electric cars is not permitted.
