Lovely accommodations; wonderful town
Very nice and spacious living space that was clean and well kept. About a 10 to 15 minute walk to the central part of Bridge of Allan with its shops and restaurants. Jane and her lovely dog Ivy were exceptional hosts.

Lovely apartment located in beautiful Bridge of Allan
The apartment was clean and well equipped. The owner left a really nice array of goodies. The location is ideal, can walk to shops and good cafes and restaurants and also good walks up the woods behind the town. Bridge of Allan is a bustling little town with Victorian villas and pretty streets. The owner, Jane, was really friendly and helpful. If you are visiting this area it is much better to stay in Bridge of Allan than Stirling. It is much quieter and a lot nicer.

Easter Break
The basement flat is just lovely. Cosy, bright (despite the basement location), tastefully decorated and with everything you need. Visited with my partner and elderly mother so that we could easily visit my sister and her family in B of A. Was perfect for us. The host is very nice and extremely accommodating. We will use again.

Another enjoyable stay in an excellent apartment
This is the third year running the I have had a holiday in this apartment. Clean, very well-equipped (good saucepans matter) and spacious. Fifteen minutes walk to the railway station with direct trains to Stirling, Perth, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Fares in Scotland are reasonable. Trains clean and modern with lots of table seating to enjoy the scenery. I recommend Hideaway cafe, which is well hidden opposite the Co-op.

A+++ Above and Beyond our Expectations - perfect w/baby in tow
Everything had been thought of, from the curated selection of Scotland-themed movies to unwind at the end of the day, to every inviting nook & extra umbrellas, you can tell Jane really set it up with love and care. The flat is beautiful, full of light, CLEAN, comfortable beds, plenty of seating. The neighborhood is gorgeous and within walking distance to shops/pubs/restaurants. And short drives to sites like castles & the Wallace monument. Jane went out of her way when we told her we were bringing our baby and bought a portable crib/playpen. Also provided a baby tub and high chair. We arrived a day late due to flight delays, when we arrived there were provisions in the kitchen which let us get some much needed rest. Staying here set the bar HIGH for the rest of our trip. Definitely snag this place if it is, by miracle, available!

Excellent introduction to Scotland
A comfortable flat in an ideal location. We were in walking distance to the village of Bridge of Alan and to the train station so we didn't need a car. Jane was a wonderful host who went beyond expectations. She even bought us a power converter to replace the wrong one I brought from home. Thank you Jane for making our stay so enjoyable!
