Wow! We highly recommend this location! Easy to walk to the castle and other sites. The breakfast was as good as the bed. Highly recommend the haggis which was delicious and locally sourced. Laura was an incredible host!

What didn’t we like?! Amazing, beautiful property with gardens and flowers everywhere. Gorgeous room with all the touches of home. Our host, Laura, is so awesome. We felt like we were visiting a dear old friend. Such a comfy atmosphere, we were sorry to leave. Our best B&B experience above all. And right in the shadow of Stirling castle. Simply amazing!

Perfect stay
Laura was the perfect host. The house is gorgeous and there is a high quality finish to everything in the house and the food. Breakfast was lovely with such a huge range of choice and the quality was amazing and Laura’s homemade bread was a great addition. This is the best guesthouse I’ve ever stayed in.

Perfection
The owner Laura was wonderful and made our stay very enjoyable. Our room had a lovely little garden patio, it was clean, comfortable and everything we needed was in the room. Breakfast was made to order which included homemade bread, very yummy. This B & B is located just a short walk to the old town, castle and restaurants.

Best Guest House Ever!
This is the best place we have ever stayed. From start to finish, Laura did everything possible to make our stay the best it could be. We had complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits in the lounge on arrival which was most welcome after the long drive. Our room with private patio was just beautiful with everything we needed provided. Everywhere was spotless and extremely comfortable and breakfast just perfect. The house was both convenient for the sights of Stirling and for peace and quiet. We cannot recommend this guest house highly enough. Thank you Laura, we will be back.

Could not recommend this guest house more. Exceptional place to stay,the service was excellent and if you need a great breakfast before your day starts then this is the place for you. It's perfectly placed for an easy walk to the town and a short one hour from loch Lomond and the beautiful trosechs. If I go back to Stirling I will be asking to come back to castle croft.

Great host, homely accomodation and good location
Laura was a great host and cooked us an excellent breakfast. The room was nicely decorated and homely. A great location for visiting the castle or Stirling. We used it as a stop off on our way further North which it was perfect for. Would certainly stop again.

Cozy Guesthouse right near the castle
Laura is a very welcoming hostess. Our room was cozy and the breakfast was delicious. The homemade bread was a special touch. The views from the living room are great and you can’t beat the location. Just a few mins walk to the castle. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Laura was a fantastic host at Castlecroft. Nothing was a bother. She took time to learn everyones names and remembered them. Whilst Laura was busy she never gave the impression that it was. Everything was at a relaxed yet efficient pace. The whole experience was so relaxing and I definitely plan to return. Food was excellent. Bed very comfortable. Rooms clean and tasteful decor. Laura recommended various restaurants nearby and we found Hermanns was excellent. Quite simply the best B and B I have had the pleasure of visiting.

Our hostess Laura is absolutely wonderful! She is warm, friendly and very helpful. We arrived a couple of hours before check-in time but Laura warmly welcomed us in and offered us coffee, tea and snack; and showed us how to walk to the castle, where to get dinner. The property is very clean, lovely and homey. We spent some time just hanging out on the couch in the family room. There is also a small garden outside of our room. Breakfast was great, it is cooked to order and has a very good selection of food. Walking distance to Stirling Castle by taking a nice trail from the property. Also can walk to Stirling town where there're plenty of restaurants and shops. Laura has a local map that she can show you how it works.

In this B&B breakfast is prepared for you to order with a good selection of hot and cold. There are thoughtful amenities in the bedroom and bathroom. It is a bedroom in a house with access to a large community sitting room. It is very close to Stirling Castle and there is a walking trail system. We arrived late due to a rental car breakdown and left early, but the owner is very gracious.

Thanks to our host, Laura, we had a great overnight in Stirling. The room was clean and comfortable. The service and breakfast were exquisite. The living room was fun to relax in and to absorb the views. Finally Laura helped us find several options for dinner and activities which were all easy walking distance from the house! I highly recommend this property!

An absolutely stunning location (with equally stunning views) and a short walk to old Stirling and the castle. The room was comfortable, thoughtfully stocked, and nicely sized. Laura went out of her way to accommodate our awkward travel schedule and above and beyond to give us maps and restaurant tips for Stirling. We stayed at a number of B&Bs this trips--this one was exceptional. Highly recommended.
