“This is a beautiful quiet place to stay full marks”

“Very cozy accommodation far from all roads and all noise.”

Right next to a small castle. The small kitchen is very well equipped and nothing is missing. Ideal starting point to explore the Trossachs National Park.

“The perfect retreat.”

So peaceful, beautiful rural location but with in easy reach of local facilities. Dunblane is a beautiful little city.

“Beautifully designed space containing everything to make a stay luxurious, comfortable and practical.”

Underfloor heating in the large shower room, washer-dryer for catching up on laundry and the giant sized comfy bed... truly wonderful place.

“Studio was a lovely place to stay in a tranquil setting.”

Very close to Stirling, Dunblane and Doune and excellent for travelling through to other places. Hosts were fine, only met once to get a high chair for our child and they were very accommodating - cottage was even ready before 3pm on the day of arrival. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this part of Scotland!

“Had a great holiday.”

Accommodation was fantastic and in a really peaceful location. We have already booked to come again next year.

“Have raised this matter with Sykes under Ref: COR-62334-CD but have not as yet had any update from you.”

Part of the outer cottage buildings were in disgusting condition, I have taken photographs. An entire day of our holiday was lost due to lack of information from the owners, a local running event meant no vehicular access in or out of the area. We subsequently had to re-arrange much of our holiday plans during the week. The advertised WiFi did not operate once during our stay. A problem with ants in the cottage was addressed by the owners but never resolved during our stay. Very, very disappointing holiday.

“Beautiful location, set amidst the scenic grounds of Kilbryde castle, with Red Kites circling overhead, and the trickling of water from the river Ardoch in the gorge below.”

The towns of Doune and Dunblane are a short drive away, or a pleasant hours walk, depending on your urgency. Very warm interactions with both Mrs.Campbell and a neighbouring family we met on the grounds. The cottage is fully stocked with everything you could need - including jigsaws - and offers a slice of wholesome tranquility thats very hard to leave! Would highly recommend.

Kilbryde Castle Cottages

These lovely cottages sit with others in the grounds of the owner’s castle in the countryside outside the cathedral city of Dunblane in Stirlingshire. The castle and the cottages nestle on the side of a gorge with the river Ardoch flowing at its base. These Dunblane cottages have been lovingly created from existing farm buildings and each has been uniquely furnished and decorated to provide a boutique mix of traditional character and modern amenities. Each property has an outdoor seating area and guests can enjoy roaming in the 15 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland that surround the castle. These cottages are approximately 100 yards apart and can be booked together, accommodating a total of six people. Dunblane is an attractive town sitting on the Allan Water dominated by its stunning cathedral, dating mostly from the 13th century. The station provides good rail links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and Perth. Visit central Scotland’s only Red Kite feeding station nearby and marvel at these wonderful birds in action. Why not enjoy the country walk or cycle to the village of Doune and explore its ancient castle or taste some malt whisky at the Deanston distillery and visitor centre. Delve into history in Stirling with its spectacular castle and the stunning monument to William Wallace. These properties are ideally located for exploring central Scotland with Fife and St Andrews, the Trossachs with their beautiful glens and lochs and even Loch Lomond all within easy reach.

About the location

DUNBLANE

Stirling 5.9 miles; Perth 28.5 miles; Edinburgh 41.6 miles; Glasgow 31.3 miles

Dunblane is a small cathedral town situated six miles north of Stirling just off the A9 road which has been bypassed since 1991. Its main landmark is Dunblane Cathedral and the Allan Water runs through the town centre, with the Cathedral and the High Street on the east side. The nearby Victorian spa town of Bridge of Allan three miles away is a former spa town at the foot of the Ochil Hills near Stirling. It is named after the Allan Water, which flows through the town and on into the River Forth. With a history dating back to the Iron Age, the village formed in the 16th century when the ford was replaced by a stone bridge and mining of copper, silver and gold took place in the hills above. Today, the main street bears Alexander Henderson’s name and the town is prosperous and home to Stirling University, a golf club and many shops and restaurants. So much of central Scotland is within easy reach of Dunblane, and it has good road and rail links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews. The beautiful scenery of this area makes it a haven for walkers, cyclists, anglers and nature lovers, and golfers are especially well served with Gleneagles about 20 minutes' drive away, along with Carnoustie and St Andrews, about an hour’s drive away. The Ochil Hills are on the doorstep, and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park a short drive to the north. Also nearby is the city of Stirling, Scotland’s youngest city, and yet one that has so much history, specifically Mary Queen of Scots and William Wallace. Dunblane offers an excellent central touring location, while closer to home is the historic, of Bridge of Allan.
