Really friendly staff. Cool old school to convert to a hotel. Walking distance to good food, shopping and castle. Room was a bit dated but for price and location it was well worth it. The bad reviews don’t reflect the property at all, haters gonna hate.

Very comfortable room, nicely presented, very spacious.
Helpful staff.
Good breakfast.
Room needs more storage for clothes, eg a chest of drawers.
Fan light above balcony window (Billiards Suite) needs a blind to stop early morning light.
A second door wood reduce noise from hall.

10/10 Excellent
We had a wonderful stay at the Colessio Hotel. We were able to check-in early and were kindly shown to our room on the ground floor. The ensuite was excellent with a lovely modern shower and bathtub which was big enough for two people. We had a pleasant and peaceful sleep. All staff were friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. The property was only a short walk uphill from the train station and Stirling Castle. We would definitely stay here again if visiting Stirling in the future.

Staying at The Smiddy Haugh is like going to family or friends with a fabulous pub and amazing food.
The owners, Nicky and Rich, couldn't do enough for us. We loved everything about the place, the people and the big pooch, Jasper 😊
An amazing find.

Warm and welcoming hosts, great advice on where to travel to, nice continental breakfast with homemade marmelade and good conversation.
The mattress was a bit uncomfortable (complaining on high level) and the pub next door played loud music until late into the night, which was a bit distracting as we had a long drive before and tried sleeping early.
All in all: I can only recommend booking a room at this sweet BnB!
