Rowan Cottage - Beautiful Country Cottage Sitting at the Foot of The Ochil Hills

Rowan cottage is an absolute treasure! The property is immaculately clean and welcoming. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and needs to make a family meal. The picnic table in front of the property was used many times when the sun came out on a beautiful day. We very much enjoyed seeing the “coos” close up and watching the sheep being rounded up and moved to another pasture by the working dog. The property is close to everything in Stirling and the surrounding areas. I would highly recommend Rowan cottage to anyone traveling to the Stirling area. It is affordable and an absolute gem for a weary traveler to find a little piece of heaven in Scotland.

Laura was so nice and the place was immaculate. Kitchen had the perfect amount of cooking items. Having the walking path right there was a nice touch to our evenings.

The cottage has everything you can possibly need during your stay, for long or short stays. The pictures match exactly, everything was very clean and comfortable.

Clean and well equipped. Quiet and very relaxing. Walkable to Alva markets and pub and Alva Glen for some amazing hiking trails up into the Ochill Hills. Walking and cycling trails right out front. Host is amazing as well and was nearby if we needed anything which we did not because cottage was equipped with everything we needed. Looking forward to staying again on future trips.

The location was great. Easy access to bus and trains to get you into Stirling, Edinburgh and Glasgow. You could walk into town for a few groceries or a restaurant.

I have used many rental places in my long life. Laura's place is special. Very clean, comfortable, beautifully located, warm, with simple rules. My whole family is delighted. Absolutely recommendable. We will definitely come back. Thx Laura.

Rowan cottage was a delight to stay in. It contained everything needed for complete comfort and was so beautifully clean it was a joy to arrive to. Laura was really helpful too and we would definitely recommend a stay there to everyone.

We had a great week in the cosy Rowan Cottage. It offers plenty of space for a family of four and is very well maintained and equipped. The landlady was always approachable and helpful. We would come back at any time as the location is ideal for trips to Edinburgh or Loch Lomond. Stirling and the surrounding area also has a lot to offer for culture and hiking enthusiasts.

Thanks for letting us stay at your place. It was so clean when we arrived and the place was perfect. Driving up to it was beautiful every day and with the highland cows and sheep right there! We really enjoyed our stay and Laura was a great hostess!

A great property in a lovely location, kicked our holiday off in the best possible way. Our host was extremely helpful and pleasant. We will definitely come back as the area has far more to see and we couldn’t pick a better base from which to start.

The cottage really fit our needs perfectly (even though our kids had to share the room). The ground floor was very spacious, kitchen equipment was good - we missed some basics like oil an vinegar (Salt and Pepper were there, but almost run out). The communication with the landlord was easy and prompt, we really enjoyed our stay there, after a City Trip the right place to relax. We had a bit stress, because as we were leaving early and had to collect all sheets from all beds and towels ... but thats just a small issue compared to the great time we spent.
