On site secure car parking was a bonus. the hotel is very well located to explore Stirling centre.

Lovely town! We were sorry to be here for only one night. We should have stayed two, as there were a few other attractions that we did not get to see. We loved the castle, Church of the Holy Rude and the cemetery.

Stirling exceeded our expectations. It was rich in history.
Stirling exceeded our expectations. It was rich in history. The locals were very friendly and helpful. There was a wide variety of restaurant options. Even the thrift stores were top notch. There were several options to enjoy entertainment. We highly recommend the Settle Inn (on St. Mary’s Wynd) the oldest ale house in town (300+yrs). We were very moved by the traditional folk music performed by the locals. We also recommend joining in on one of the free guided tours in the Castle. It’s a great way to get to know the gossip of the royals and renegades.

There is so much to see and to absorb if you love history and want to know where your ancestors came from. Essential: talk to people wherever you go. There is so much to learn from those who staff the historic sites! Dee and Trisha were great sources of info. See Holy
Rude Church and the connected graveyard. Wow! Always ask for the hidden or less seen places. The Stirling Smith Art Gallery and Museum is a quirky gem. (It has the oldest known football.) Things to remember: walking is great, but challenging. Taking a taxi sometimes makes you miss some of the things, however, like going through the graveyard at Holy Rude.

I really liked Stirling however the stress of being unable to access the Mar Apartment as pin to access was not sent and which we had paid for through Booking.com and having to go searching for alternative accommodation at 8pm was the most stressful and upsetting thing I have ever experienced on holiday. The owner was uncontactable although I tried to call her 20 times and sent several emails and Booking.com did not help just kept saying to ring the owner. The situation has become even more upsetting as both Booking and the owner of the Mar Apartment are refusing to refund my money. Will never return to Stirling. Will never use Booking.com again. Awful experience.

Stirling is a lovely area.
Stirling is a lovely area. The castle is really interesting but there is a lot of walking on cobbles. We are getting on a bit so found it a bit uphill and down dale but well worth a visit. 20 minutes drive from Stirling are The Kelpies and the Falkirk Wheel. The Kelpies are amazing and if you book a tour they take you inside, a must for any engineer. Falkirk Wheel is more interesting watching from outside but is an absolute master in engineering. Stirling town centre had a lovely shopping Mal we just found it busy and difficult to park.
A wonderful stay!! The flat was very clean and modern. The beds were very comfortable, wifi was fast, full kitchen which was well stocked with cooking pans/utensils and full size refrigerator. Nice to have a washer & dryer while on vacation. And also nice to have three bathrooms and three floors for privacy.
Excellent location for exploring Stirling, St. Andrews, The Kelpies and Perth. Absolutely no complaints or suggestions for improvements. Thank you. If in the area again, we would definitely stay here.
Had a fantastic experience stating at Castlecroft. We used Stirling as a stop off point both on our trip up to and on our journey into Scotland. We were not disappointed and really glad that we'd decided to stay again on our return trip. My partner commented that everything was exactly as you'd want it. Loved the fruit salad at b'fast (put one of the expensive hotels we stayed at to shame). Enjoyed visit to castle also. Great rooms, good parking, really friendly and relaxed host, and most amazing breakfasts.
Great location. Thistle shopping centre 6 min walk down the hill. Stirling castle and old town jail a short walk up the hill.
Lots of coffee shops and cafes round about. The Spa was available to use throughout our stay and was fantastic. Nice size pool, sauna, steam room and jacuzzi.
Food was a high standard and well presented.
Rooms have everything you need but are a little dated.
Cat parking available at the hotel Free of charge.
Overall great value and would definitely stay again.
The location of the hotel was great, walking distance to the city centre and Stirling castle. We had dinner and breakfast at the hotel and both were good, especially the cooked to order b'fast.I did appreciate the console table with a mirror and a stool which is so hard to find in any hotel room. This was the only hotel we visited in Scotland which had a good hair dryer with the front part not missing. If you're a woman, you know what I mean!
Location was convenient for exploring Stirling.
I had a lovely meal when I arrived and a very comfortable, spacious and clean bedroom. The Scottish Breakfast choice was good and was hot and cooked properly. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. There was a charge of £10 for my dog, which I thought was reasonable. Unlike some hotels in the area, parking was free.
The hotel is a former high school building, it is big with many rooms, the location is excellent for access to the castle, the Old Town and the Town centre and shops. Breakfast is buffet style with reasonable options. There was a conference on when we were there so the staff were extra busy but in the main, they were very helpful. The room was quiet and comfortable.
The management and staff were simply outstanding. Went out of their way to help us have a good stay and solve problems we had having nothing to do with the hotel itself.
If we come back to Stirling, this is our place to stay. It's very conveniently located. Food is good in the pub. Parking is convenient. Rooms are comfortable and well maintained.
The location was very nice, central to Stirling and an easy walk to many tourist spots like the Castle, pubs, restaurants, etc. The apartment we rented was spacious - two large bedrooms, and a good size living area with kitchen. There was also a parking not behind the hotel that we used, but be aware it's 2 hour parking between 8 am - 6 pm.
We loved everything about our stay at Meadowpark. Our family of 5 stayed in two rooms. The staff was very welcoming and friendly and the attention to every detail was amazing. The complimentary cocktails, snacks and breakfast basket were an unexpected treat! It was definitely the best hotel we stayed in while in Scotland.
Very good breakfasts at a very good price. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Great localisation close to Stirling city centre, 5 mins to walk to the train station, then only 40 mins to Edinburgh city centre. Stirling is also very charming and has a castle much better than in Edinburgh.
The setting is fantastic, perfectly central to plan a tour of Scotland! A big kitchen and plenty of living space means you feel at home, rather than a hotel/hostel. Keys were easy to locate, communication with the hosts was excellent, very clear and helpful.
The location for visiting Stirling was superb. The park and ride stop is right at the front door of the hotel so no need to drive in the town and the same bus takes one right to the castle.
The front foyer and lounge areas were nice but tired.
The Stirling Court Hotel had plenty of parking and the staff were very friendly and efficient. it is right next to the Wallace Monument and is within walking distance of the Stirling town centre. it was comfy and cosy and certainly did the job!
Clean room with great facilities and fast WIFI. The hosts were very welcoming and kind to us. Great place to be used as a hub while traveling, because all major attractions in southern Scotland are a short drive from Stirling.
This is an amazing place to stay - so quiet and peaceful, yet very convenient to Stirling Castle and other sites in the area. The hosts were lovely, breakfast was plentiful and delicious! We will definitely stay here again.
We enjoyed our stay here. The apartment is cute and comfortable and close to Stirling Castle. The host, Eileen, was very friendly and responsive to my questions.
