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!!

Hi. The Tramhouse rooms have boutique style and extra touches that most guests love, we have created a style inline to the fabulous building itself,, all our rooms are spacious and equipped, sorry you felt it wasn't quite for you and your huge oversized luggages and all the stuff you had.. You also arrived and didn't ring the bell and without check-in made your way up to any room which essentially wasn't the one you booked and never made it known you had even arrived........

Great service, decor and comfort. Feel at home.
The decor and comfort of the room are incredible, a Victorian style that is cozy and beautiful! The B & B has a very personal and familiar atmosphere, with breakfast made to order, you choose an option the previous day and choose an incredible time! Enjoyed it, would highly recommend and I will stay again when returning to Stirling! The staff is very friendly and willing to help and make the stay the best that is possible!

This B&B is full of charm, is clean and has friendly staff. There are so many personal touches and details that make this B&B extra special. It is obvious that the owner takes pride in every element of the site’s design, food and presentation. We would stay again and recommend it to friends.

Great Spot in Stirling
The Old Tram house was lovely, we got a warm welcome and loads of tips of what was on and where we could go. I loved our room, it was really cosy and everything you needed. We had a great sleep. The breakfast room is really special and we really enjoyed it. We would definitely recommend the Old Tram House! It's only a pity we didn't have longer in Stirling!

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.

Good hotel, bit of a walk to downtown
Hotel was easy to find, free parking, reasonable breakfast, clean and surprisingly quiet given it is located on a busy street. Decor was a bit over the top. Only drawback was the distance from “downtown” but still only a 25 - 30 minute walk.

Decent Stirling B&B
Good stay at Old Tramhouse which is decorated in flamboyant style. Bedroom on small size but lovely big bathroom and nice and warm. Central location and welcome a plus. Cons: bedroom not serviced for two days (e.g. bins not emptied) and breakfast 3/5.

Thankyou so much . May we say rooms are serviced on a daily basis unless guests are still in rooms at times between staff servicing hours which are 10.am to 12.30. And or if requested by guests to not enter the rooms.

Overnight stay in Stirling.
The Old Tram House was adequate but not especially outstanding. The decor was a little over the top and a little old fashioned, more attention to cleanliness and detail would have been appreciated, but unfortunately the hostess seemed to be more interested in her personal pursuits than the business. 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.

Tram-house for Stirling castle
Tram-house was fine for a one night stay to see Stirling Castle, etc. Room, bath, breakfast were fine. There was a fair amount of traffic noise that does affect my sleep. The owner was very cheerful and pleasant.

Wish we stayed longer
Of the seven places we stayed in Scotland, this is the one we wish we stayed longer at. Our family of four were only here for one night, as an afterthought. Our room was well appointed and breakfast was superb. Location was very convenient, yet quiet. I have no basis to offer any comparison to other Stirling accommodations, but I think you'd be hard pressed to find anything finer for the value. Highly recommend!

Good Hotel, Good Location.
We stayed in Room 2, at the back of the hotel. Nice room, large bathroom, shower only no bath. Decor good, beds okay. TV in room, not brilliant only a few channel's. We felt breakfast was a little early and would prefer it available up until 9am. Also your sat with other guests on our large table....found that a little odd, having not done that before. Lady who owns hotel was friendly.

LOVELY GEM IN STIRLING
Alison, the warmest, sweetest B and B owner we met in our 8 day stay in Scotland keeps a lovely place carefully and lovingly decorated. She had wonderful suggestions for places to go and eat and could not have been more charming!
