Beautiful sandstone cottage in picturesque village setting

Harviestoun House is a beautifully refurbished 2 storey sandstone cottage in the heart of Dollar, a picturesque small town at the foot of the Ochil hills 13 miles east of the historic city of Stirling.
The cottage comfortably sleeps 8 people in four bedrooms. There are two bedrooms on the ground floor. Bedroom one, with en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobe, has the flexibility of being either 2 twin beds or one superking size bed. Bedroom two has a double bed. Upstairs, reached from the galleried landing, bedrooms three and four can be either twin rooms or have superking size beds. Both rooms share a modern bathroom with over bath shower.
Downstairs the double height sitting room seats 8 people on two three seater sofas and one two seater sofa. There is a log burning stove for you to return to after sightseeing or walking in this beautiful area in the heart of Scotland. The sitting room, like all other rooms, has all new furniture and fittings and gas central heating.
The kitchen, with all modern conveniences including 4 ring gas stove and double electric oven, has a dining table for 8 people and a television with Freeview. Leading from the kitchen is a utility room with washing machine and tumble drier. Also just off the kitchen is a sunroom which leads to the courtyard garden with outdoor seating and barbecue.
Steeped in history, Dollar has all facilities including cafes, restaurants and shopping on your doorstep. Visit 500 year old Castle Campbell, lowland seat of the Duke of Argyll, where Mary, Queen of Scots once lived in the 16th Century. The walk to the castle is by a spectacular series of paths, bridges and walkways in the deep gorges of the glen and its tributaries. Dollar’s other facilities include a small museum and 18 hole golf course notable for its steep inclines and lack of bunkers.
As well as being close to Stirling, Dollar is within easy reach of Glasgow and Edinburgh and St Andrews to the east so you are perfectly situated to take advantage of all Scotland has to offer from this central location.

At Home in Dollar
Our family of 5 (all adults) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dollar! The town is charming, and we especially enjoyed being able to walk down the street to the coffee shops, restaurants and co-op grocery store. The home is warm and inviting. We appreciated that there was room for everyone to have "their space". The beds super comfortable, and three bathrooms were very much appreciated. It was also wonderful to have a washer and dryer available for our use. We very much felt "at home".

Fantastic stay!
Clean, well stocked, beautifully decorated, ample space for our family of 5. We've had issues with reviews being positive and then the location not living up to expectations. This was not the case here. Would return here in a heartbeat. Met all expectations and then some. Home away from home! Great central location for Sterling and Edinburgh areas.
