The Courtyard, Stirling

The Courtyard is a bright, spacious self-catering property capable of comfortably sleeping and dining eight people, located in one of Stirling's most prestigious areas; Kings Park.

The Courtyard is at the very heart of Stirling City centre; a two minute walk to all the attractions within the historic City: the magnificent Castle and rich Scottish heritage centre, the Old City Jail, the Tollbooth, a modern shopping centre, small quaint arcades and several supermarkets. The historical Bannockburn Heritage Centre is only a 20-minute walk from the city centre and there is also a good selection of both modern and traditional pubs and restaurants in the area. Nick Nairn's famous cookery school is also a mere 20-minute drive away in nearby Port of Menteith.
Stirling does not stand alone; other areas of historic interest are on the doorstep: just a five minute's walk away to the charming village and local pubs of Cambusbarron and five minutes in the opposite direction for Cambuskenneth and its famous Abbey. Wallace's monument is a 2 min drive; on the way, stop off and visit the Old Stirling Bridge.
The surrounding countryside is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts: walking, cycling and paragliding are all on offer on the nearby Ochil Hills. Slightly further away are The Trossachs, Callander, Loch Lomond National Park, Glasgow and Edinburgh providing, therefore, the ideal central touring base for your holiday.
Golf being available at every turn: Kings Park's own course and at least another five within Falkirk district, a 15 min drive away. Slightly further afield are the world famous Gleneagles and St Andrew's Old Course.
Transport within the area offers excellent links to all areas; Edinburgh and Glasgow (airports) are within one hour's drive. Stirling also has a good bus/rail network and motorways heading both North, further through Scotland, and South towards England and Wales.
Recently refurbished and totally modernised, The Courtyard shows a sharp contrast from the external appearance of a sandstone villa built nearly 200 years ago, to that of a fully modernised minimalist modern interior. The 4-bedroom property exclusively occupies the entire garden floor of a beautiful Victorian villa. Screened from the neighbours by lush trees and old stonewalling, The Courtyard's garden offers privacy and tranquillity. Guests can enjoy the garden with the use of extensive garden furniture, BBQ equipment and outdoor games.
Accommodation comprises of a large bright open plan kitchen with fully fitted modern appliances leading to utility room with dishwasher, washing machine and tumble drier. From the kitchen access is gained to an open plan living and dining area with ample seating for 8 round the main table. This living space is equipped with a full range of both visual and audio technology and Wireless Internet connection.
There is an assortment of sleeping accommodation in the Courtyard to suit each groups' needs ranging from twin bedded to king size double and bunk bed. Each bedroom has ample storage and blackout roller blind and curtains are in place in each room.
