A superb cottage with wonderful hosts. We were sceptical about the location but in reality it was a perfect place to access many wonderful tourist attractions. A 5 min drive to the station with free parking was a real bonus enabling us to enjoy stress free days in Edinburgh and Glasgow. Stirling, The Falkirk Wheel, the Kelpies and the Scottish Owl Centre are all easily accessible by car. We plan to return again next year and enjoy more of this beautiful area.A special thank you to the hosts for enabling my husband to tick off a bucket list event by attending a match at Stenhousemuir FC.

A great base to explore this part of Scotland. The cottage was clean and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Being only a couple minutes drive from the train station with direct services to both Edinburgh and Glasgow and free parking was excellent. Despite the convenience, it's located in a quiet spot on the edge of a village, which is lovely. We would definitely choose to stay here again and would highly recommend.
