About this property

A Georgian Masterpiece Steps from Stirling

Treat yourself to a historic stay at our 19th century Georgian home, just a 5 minute walk from the Stirling town centre, which has plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Stroll the enclosed garden with your dog(s) at your side, then cosy up with a Robert Burns book and a whisky beside one of our crackling fireplaces. “It's like walking into a Jane Austen Novel,” says a past guest, and we are in full agreement, with one exception: our modern amenities. In other words; it’s a Jane Austen novel with Netflix and an espresso maker.

Rather than leave this magnificent home empty while I'm on tour for my work in the music industry, I decided to share it with others. I take great care to ensure guests feel at home here but not like they're staying in someone else's house. I provide quality amenities (including whisky!) and a "relaxed luxury" design. With space for up to 10 people and an acre of landscaped grounds for playing outdoors, it's an effortless place to host everything from team building retreats and friend getaways to birthday parties and family reunions.

GATHERING SPACES
Entertainment options are plentiful, from football in the garden—goal posts included—to DVD & Netflix movie nights in the living room. Host a dance party in the game room with the budding DJ of your group spinning on the limited edition Pioneer CDJs powered with large Yamaha speakers—one the benefits to staying in the home of someone who works in music! Or gather in the kitchen for hors d'oeuvres around the island, followed by a feast at the 8-10 person antique dining table under the chandelier or candle light.

— Guest Interaction
We do not often meet our guests in person due to our schedules. However, you can contact me (Alexandra) directly for any advice or recommendations and if there is an emergency. If I am traveling or unavailable, my cleaner lives nearby, and knows all about the house, services and our area.

—Guest Access
You will have access to the entire house and grounds, except for one locked room on the lower floor and the garage.
There is a self check-in process with a lockbox.

—The Neighbourhood
Stirling is a very safe, friendly, and historic town. From our home, you can walk just a few minutes to the Stirling castle, then stop in at many watering holes on the way back. You will also find plenty of delicious local restaurants, including a good few favourites we will share with you upon arrival. Our location also makes it easy to pick up groceries, food and other necessities at the shopping centre.

Stirling is excellently situated for traveling around Scotland, whether by train or car, as well, with the train station just a 10-minute walk away.

—Getting Around
Many of guests rent cars, but you can easily get by without one. We are a 10-minute walk from the train station and a 5-minute walk to town for bars, restaurants, and the Stirling Castle. If you do bring a vehicle, there is plenty of parking for 4 vehicles on the grounds. Plus, we provide two bicycles for exploring.

If you ever wanted to feel like stepping back in time...
Wow! It's unbelievable you can actually stay in this palace and when you walk through the doors - you feel like you have walked right into a Jane Austen novel. Absolutely beautiful and commodious with owners who are incredibly kind and helpful - providing food, wine, and toiletries for anything you could imagine you need. We've never experienced such warm hospitality in such an immense and breathtaking space.

Fabulous house
One of the best houses we have stayed in on our many trips. Our family of six adults were very comfortable with lots of indoor and outdoor space. We were comfortably able to host several reunions with other family members in Scotland. This house is a few minutes walk from central Stirling and is well equipped and very comfortable. This house is truly a delight and made our trip all the more enjoyable. You really feel that you are staying somewhere special. If you have the chance to book it, do so!

Outstanding property
Totally blown away with this property, it is absolutely stunning. Our family of 9 organised this as a surprise present for our Father’s 80th birthday. The house is spotlessly clean and the welcome hamper and Christmas tree were especially nice touches. It’s in a fabulous location and just a few minutes from the centre of town. We had the most amazing memorable time and would absolutely recommend this to anybody.

Fabulous 50th
This is indeed a Georgian masterpiece. The house is spacious, very well equipped and beautifully furnished. We cooked, danced and then relaxed in the drawing rooms. It is a very short walk into Stirling and there are lots of nice places for a morning coffee or a spot of shopping. Of course a visit to the castle and the monument is a must.

Fab Stay
What an amazing property. This house was perfect for our family celebration (80th birthday). Plenty space for us all to spread out and a beautiful garden for our dog to run around in too. Being close to the centre of Stirling meant the car didn’t move the whole weekend we were there. A lovely welcome hamper / breakfast pack was a lovely touch and meant we were all set for the following morning. Will definitely be recommending this house to friends and family.

In the heart of Stirling
The property was great, giving so much room for our family of five! We spent as much time as we could in the spacious garden and my son loved playing with the massive football goals. The property was centrally located, only a 3 minute walk into the centre of Stirling, with loads of shops and great restaurants nearby for ease. Stirling was a fab location to be able to explore both southern Scotland as well as the Highlands on day trips.

Amazing house in a great location!
We had the most wonderful stay with our family in this stunning house, with enough room for all of us, including our dog. We enjoyed dancing in the games room, playing in the beautiful walled garden, listening to records in the drawing room and watching Braveheart (of course!) in the TV room. The beds were so comfortable and we were blown over by the hosts' hospitality, with a hamper of food and drinks left for us on our arrival. The location was so perfect with great (dog friendly) gastro pubs within walking distance and perfectly situated to visit other places like Glasgow and Edinburgh and Lough Lomond. We love Scotland and its people and we hope to return soon! Thanks for everything.

Our family holiday in Sterling
We had a lovely time in this beautiful house which is perfectly situated only a couple of minutes from all the amenities of the city. The large, secure and private back garden provided us with a cool place to begin and finish each day. The house provided everything we could have wanted in a home from home - comfy beds, well appointed bathrooms and crockery etc. We would highly recommend this place - our grandchildren particularly enjoyed the music room for obligatory disco entertainment!

About the host

Hosted by Alexandra

Host profile image
I work in the music industry, and I'm on tour most of the time. I stay between this lovely house in Scotland, Ibiza, Malta or where ever the music takes me.

I'm available to make your stay as special as it should be, from any questions you have before booking, to after you book, to the day you arrive, during your stay and till you leave, if it's an extra cot, bed, special dietary requirements or even just a recommendation for the best restaurant for dinner, I'm at the other end of the phone when ever you need, you won't want to leave.

Why they chose this property

I work in the music industry and I’m lucky enough to be on tour most of the time, so I thought it would be a lovely idea to let other nice people experience my stunning Georgian home, which is a mere 500 steps away from the city centre of the historic town of Stirling. I’d say my home is one of the finest Georgian houses in Stirling and yet, very homely, set in nearly an acer of grounds with an enormous 10 feet wall surrounding our very large private garden, I’d like to welcome families or friends who want to experience a real Scotland with whisky on tap and haggis in the fridge including my personal whisky cream sauce, which I’ll leave the recipe for you. One day here you will know why Scotland is one of the most friendliest places on earth.

What makes this property unique

Amazing very large back garden with a large 10 foot wall making the very large garden the perfect getaway from the outside, great place for the kids to play football, have a picnic, or barbecue or just let your dogs to run wild.

There are 2 bikes and helmets available for you to explore Stirling
Pets more than welcome except bedrooms.
Ample Free Parking at the house.
