(Son of writing) The Lindsay House is a very well equipped, maintained and presented property to stay in. The rooms are all generously sized and well-furnished in a tastefully neutral style and it suited my elderly parents and I well for five nights. Even for an eighty-odd year old with a stick, Stirling itself is only about a fifteen-minute walk on foot away.
Beware of several aspects of the access: first, it is, essentially, a basement flat – there are two short flights of stone steps down to the entrance from street level, which was manageable for ambulant elderly, but not ideal. Secondly, there is no on-site parking – bays in the street immediately outside are for residents only, although there is one nearby general space on the house side and many on the opposite side of the street, and they were never full during our stay. Stirling Council allows blue badge holders to park free, but anyone else must pay and display. Thirdly, there is a timetabled refuse/ recycling collection and you are expected to put the appropriate bins out on the appropriate day – which means hauling them up the steps; again, not ideal for the less able-bodied.
The kitchen includes a tumble-dryer, but we noticed that only the drum filter was accessible (to clear fluff), the base filter was not, trapped behind the plinth – this may need reviewing by the building managers, for safety.
The bathrooms are nicely done, although only one is ensuite with a bedroom. The underfloor heating in that ensuite was unfathomable. The general bathroom had a very grand freestanding bath, but the shower cubicle was a touch cramped.
No real complaints, perfectly acceptable, well-located flat for a short stay.
