Reviews for Hillview Cottage
Review 1：The host and his daughter were wonderful in their caring, helpfulness and genuine warmth. The location was in a beautiful and peaceful area. Jon is a great conversationalist and a very good cook to boot. I would recommend anyone to stay here. Fantastic value and really looking forward to returning in the future.
Review 2：The room looked as though it was tired. In need of renovation in comparison with other BnB's we stayed in
Review 3：John was really friendly and helpful in a difficult situation
Review 4：The only downside might be for people expecting to be in Stirling. This is a rural property some 6 miles from the city.
Review 5：Jon is a good host, hot breakfast is generous. Very quiet place to sleep. Jon's suggestion of the Lion & Unicorn in nearby Thornhill was just what we needed for a fine meal and a few pints.
Review 6：Parking and access from roadway a little restrictive (to someone accustomed to driving on the "other" side of the road)!
Review 7：Took a little while to check-in due to owner being delayed by an emergency .. however "Susan" stepped in and did a great job sorting out the keys! Dined at an excellent little pub in Doune. Lodgings comfortable .. large bathroom with steaming hot water .. and really excellent breakfast!
Review 8：We got a very warm welcome from the host. Rooms were clean and the view from our room very picturesque. Breakfast was delicious and we would definitely stay again.
Review 9：No hot water in my room in the morning so I had to boil a kettle so I could shave. Outside of property is tatty and needs a good tidy up.
Review 10：Amazing views and handy location for Stirling. Traditional feel without being chocolate box. Good cooked breakfast
Review 11：Nearby road a bit noisy with an open window, fortunately got much quieter at night, so no problem with sleep at all.
Review 12：Great location for visiting Stirling/Falkirk. Very nice and friendly owners. The family room and the lounge cosy and tastefully decorated. Poor WiFi and almost no mobile covrage - an advantage for us, but teenagers weren't that happy.
Review 13：Sitting on the same table with the other guests is not for everyone.
Review 14：The look on the hills from our rooms was very nice. Hillview Cottage is a really fitting name.
Review 15：It is lying a bit outside of everything.... but it was the only one that we found in the area of Stirling (just booked from one day to the other in the high season...), no pub and no restaurant in walking distance - you definitely need a car here (next restaurant about 5 miles away)!
Review 16：Our room, bath and the lounge area was very nice, good breakfast, free parking on private ground, close to Stirling and Falkirk and its attractions
Review 17：mix-up over booking,owner settled account ...room not to our liking....wall clock had a loud tick-tock---breakfast room was very dusty,other guests didnt like us all sitting together
Review 18：good breakfast
Review 19：The place was exactly what we needed, a short drive from Stirling in a lovely rural setting. Our host was very friendly, the room comfortable and and the cooked breakfast delicious.

Review 29：Jon was extremely helpful to facilitate my unavoidable late check-in and courteous throughout my stay. The room was all you could ask for and the breakfast was excellent.

Review 31：Comfortable, nice breakfast, accommodating, interesting chap that owns the place.
Review 32：We stayed in a good sized family room that accommodated 5 and we all felt very much at home. The place is ideally located and makes a number of sites easily accessible.
Review 33：Ticking clock outside my room was annoying.
Review 34：Great rural location with nice views. Good size room with modern bathroom. Complete breakfast was included. Free parking, with easy access to Stirling, Doune, and Bridge of Allan.

Review 35：Location, manager went away out with the keys to our room, not enough seating for breakfast, it advertises WiFi and none available

Review 48：Hillview's address is stated as Stirling. It is actually 6 miles outside of the city. Bus drivers don't know Kirk Lane which does not have a road sign name. Ask to be dropped off at Blair Drummond Community Hall. I wish I had known this in advance.

Review 102：Leaving.
Review 103：There was everything needed to make ones stay enjoyable. Jon is into high-tech equipment in the rooms which was entertaining at times. Personally I liked the one table breakfast arrangement as it promoted conversation between the guests. This was great whilst enjoying a well cooked and presented breakfast. Nothing appeared to be too much trouble for Jon who always found time to help put the world right. I would recommend this accommodation as really good value for money.
Review 104：Be aware that you need car to go anywhere. There is nothing in the walking distance from this place.

Review 109：The Beds were very comfortable, good breakfast, Jon was very helpful.
Review 110：Nothing really
Review 111：Beautiful B&B. Nice room, clean, big...in the middle of scotland's countryside and 10 minutes from Stirling. I would stay again
Review 112：John, the owner, is very friendly and made us feel at home. He gave good recommendations for dinners out and sights to see, like Lake Katrine in the Trossachs.
Review 113：The room is small, however, given that it is located in a historical cottage, this is to be expected.
Review 114：If you want a real homestay experience then this is it. This family have literally opened their own home to strangers. The owners are gracious and have an amazing amount of local knowledge.
Review 115：The only thing not to like was our length of stay - if only we'd have booked for a longer stay
Review 116：The owner was welcoming, the neighbours were welcoming, the local pub was welcoming. We stayed with 3 very young children and were welcomed in by the owner who wanted to cater for our every need. We had a room with 1 double bed, 1 single bed and 2 large bunk beds with an en-suite bathroom. It was very spacious, child friendly (proof) and had everything we needed. The owner was very knowledgable on a lot of things and made good conversation. We will be booking to stay here again for sure
Review 117：nothing really
Review 118：john the owner was very friendly and met us when we arrived breakfast was good comfortable sleep.other guests were nice.out of our window you could see cows and mountains in the background and very peacfull.really enjoyed and will stay there again.
