Cozy and Convenient
We found our small double to be as advertised SMALL, but cozy. Jackie and her staff were accommodating and breakfast was delicious. The location was ideal for those who like to walk around an old walled city and there were many dining options nearby

Great host but rooms need some work
Our host Jackie graciously helped us with our early breakfast requirement and we were able to get to our flight out of Edinburgh in plenty of time. Great location, but the room needs some updating. Bed creaked very loudly at any tiny movement and the shower had an unpleasant smell unfortunately.

It would be helpful to tell guests in advance that they will have to find parking on the street which is very limited and there is a charge for parking so they have the correct coins to do so. Also lots of stairs to climb to get to your room.

Early on arrival we made a call and Jackie arrived within minutes. Property is clean and tidy and the breakfast which was supplied gave an excellent choice. Property is in an ideal situation for all town centre amenities and on the whole in a quiet area of the town. We arrived in Stirling by train from Glasgow and had an easy ten minute walk from the Railway Station though I would imagine parking would be a problem. The one draw back was the size of the room which was listed as a double with an ensuite and garden view and in truth is a single with a double bed in it. This meant that it was impossible to exit the bed on one side without climbing over the other occupant! I acknowledge some fault in the room selection as the size in sq. ft. is given in the room description but this I missed. This room is also situated by the main entrance door so we were disturbed by other occupants returning late though this is hardly the fault of the property or it's owners as there are requests for residents to consider others. All in all a great City to visit and enhanced by a great day out at the final day of the Solheim Cup at Gleneagles, if you're European of course (and at this point we still were!)

Location is great and the breakfast was delicious. Only downside is parking in the area. We were fortunate that someone was leaving a paid parking space as we were looking for a space. We made sure to check-out in the morning before we would be required to pay again for parking.

It's entrance is on the old city wall limits so it's on a bit of historical land with views to die for. I was there for the Marathon and this B&B couldn't be better situated for this. 5 min walk from the train station. 10 min walk from/to the start/finish line.

Our stay at Castle Walk
Friendly and a great location. If one does not do stairs , then this is not good. Great location for restaurants. Good wifi. Not all rooms are on suite but you get a privatre bathroom. Good breakfast. Hotrel is right on the castle wall. There is no private parking but hotel owner was very helpful in finding us a parking space and parked his car there until we could park. It just was a short distance. You need to pay to park. He also told us about a parking garage. Check in time is 4:00. We were early and no one was there but we had a phone # and we called and someone came to let us in and helped us to find a parking place. The only thing not listed was the correct gps directions which should list 4 Back Walk. We had to call to get this information. With this information it took us directly there.

The staff was outstanding, very friendly and helpful. They even let us drop our bags off hours early. The biggest problem was that there was no space to put a suitcase other than the bed. The decor was tacky but it was made up for by the excellent breakfast, convenient location and kindness of the hosts.

Nice place in a good location
Great location, half way between the train station and the castle, and close to good restaurants. Very interesting and unique building. Very nice couple running the B&B. I talked to them at length and they were friendly and helpful. The downside is that the interior needs updating, which the couple says they are in the process of doing (as they took over the B&B earlier this year). If/when we return to Stirling, we will stay here again.

The location couldn’t be better - close to town centre and walking distance to Stirling Castle. The owners were friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. The room was clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities and a great view over the city. Breakfast was excellent, and cooked to order. There is a good pub next door, and many restaurants and cafes within walking distance. Will definitely return on our next visit to Stirling!
