Welcome to our two luxurious self-catering holiday properties. Converted from a listed 1820s stable block in 2004 and ideally situated near Stirling in the Heart of Scotland.
The cottages are set in 5 acres of private gardens and woodlands. Uniquely, the 2000 year old Antonine Wall runs directly through the grounds.

Our splendid relaxation area includes an 8 seater top of the range hot springs tub, a private sauna with relaxation space, an indoor seating area with bar and kitchen and a wonderful 20 foot swimming pool heated to a very comfortable temperature everyday of the year.
