Accommodation
Converted in the 1930s, Pear Tree House has a lovely Arts and Crafts feel. From the private side entrance, an ornate wooden staircase leads you up past stained glass windows into the flat. On the lower floor there is a double bedroom, bay windowed lounge with dining, large bathroom with bath and shower over, breakfasting kitchen and shower room. The kitchen has a gas hob, electric ovens, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine/tumble drier. On the upper level, bedroom 2 has zip and link beds so can either be a twin room or have a super-king size bed. Outside there is off street parking on the drive and an enclosed garden with outdoor furniture so you may relax after a day of sightseeing.
Local Area
Pear Tree house is in an ideal location to explore the local area, one which combines both outstanding natural beauty with a unique local history. Just a 10 minute walk from the railway station and within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants you can easily explore the city on foot. Within a short driving distance you will also be able to sample Scotland's magnificent Highland scenery and hospitality before returning home to the comfort of your accommodation. Stirling and the surrounding area are steeped in history. The historic Battle of Stirling Bridge in 1297, Battle of Bannockburn in 1314 and Battle of Sherriffmuir in 1715 all helped to shape the history of Scotland and these sites can easily be visited from our properties. Allow yourself to become absorbed by the atmosphere, whilst visiting the magnificent Stirling Castle, the Wallace Monument and The Battle of Bannockburn Experience, and then recharge your batteries in one of the many cafes, restaurants or pubs. 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. Located within an hour's drive of Glasgow and Edinburgh International airports, Stirling has excellent motorway connections to the north and south. Golf being available at every turn: Kings Park's course in Stirling and at least another five within 30 minutes drive. Slightly further afield are the world famous Gleneagles and St Andrew's Old Course.
