Thorntree Barn, Arnprior, Stirling, Stirling, FK8 3EY

If you're looking for a cosy cottage place with some modern essentials in the Scottish countryside - this is it!!! Loved Thorntree - great home away from home. Ideal location for Stirling, Loch Lomond, Glasgow.

There are plenty of info leaflets on an upstairs table so you'll never be short of ideas! Kitchen/dining/living space all open plan making a lovely ground floor. 3 spacious bedrooms upstairs, 1 en suite meant both kids got their own room. The owners live next door but you wouldn't know as it's so quiet & the cottage has it's own patio entrance, garden & parking spaces round the back. Which is also where you benefit from the fab views! We stayed throughout a tail end of a hurricane and it was still fine & cosy! Extra luxury of a gas fire in the living room too. High chair & cot also provided. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back next year!

We stayed at Thorntree for a perfect 7 days. Carol and Mark were so accommodating and full of great touring suggestions.. The facility had everything we needed and more was provided on request. The location was ideal for day trips in all directions with stunning countryside vistas and oh yes, lots of sheep! We would return again and heartily suggest any one stay for as long as they can. You will not regret a moment.

And don't forget to take a garden tour and have an apple

We spend five days at the Thorntree Barn and utterly enjoyed it. Very peaceful and beautifully situated. Glasgow, Edinburgh and - of course - Stirling within easy reach; Loch Lomond not far away either. The house is quiet and comfortable. Be aware that shopping requires some driving (15 min. to Stirling). Highly recommendable.

A nice cottage in a good location. Plenty of space and a massive lawn. Very comfortable beds. Furniture and kitchen a little tired and could do with updating but have rented much worse in the past. Internet connection was very poor and mostly unavailable. Would definitely go back. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

a very nice self catering cottage in a very green and clean nature. Very nice bedrooms, good beds a perfect fitted kitchen, a comfortable sitting room with a good heater. Outside is a nice grass area, you can see sheep around and you have a wonderful wide few onto the area around [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

Well situated in the hills 20 minutes out of Stirling, and 45 minutes over the hills to Glasgow. Comfortable and roomy, and well equipped. Good green credentials. Parents plus 2 adult children were very comfortable, notwithstanding a snag with the central heating that took a day or so to fix. The owners generously gave an unsolicited discount for the inconvenience. All in all, very nice and would highly recommend it.

The House is really nice and cosy cottage which has been converted from a barn. Lovely scenery, cows curious about the visitors, very nice scenic view of Ben Lomond. The rooms were very cold at night, but the landlady was kind enough to switch on the heating for us for an hour which was really appreciated as we went down there with my parents.

The fire place made the sofa and the room so cosy that you could easily fall asleep in front of it.

The good thing was that Stirling Castle was very nearby, so was the local supermarket (Sainsbury).

We enjoyed our stay in that house and would love to return once more when time permits us. Thank you Carol & Mark.

We had fantastic holidays at Thorntree Barn. The accomodation was very good, you find there all you need. All the tourist attractions are near by and can be reached in one hour. We can absolutely recommend Thorntree Barn. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

Enjoyed a lovely week at Thorntree Barn. Very comfortable and stylish accommodation, and well equipped too. The location is stunning and there are several lovely walks from the Barn.

We had a wonderful time at thorntree It meet our every need. Everything we need on arrival was made available to us.

A comfortable, warm and spacious cottage in a fabulous quiet location. All the amenities you could need, and Carol was very welcoming and helpful.

A lovely cottage with fantastic views. Beds were comfy, kitchen is well equipped. Really big lawn outside for kids to play on. A lot of places to visit within an hours drive.

What a fantastic place - great views across the Forth Valley to the Trossachs. Great for wildlife. Lots of space - plenty of room foor us and 3 kids. Great garden - lots of room for the kids to play football. Plenty of cutlery etc. Small, but nice bathrooms. Lots of interesting books on the bookshelves. The heating/electricity are to be paid at the end of the holiday - something that is mentioned in their website.

Is there a more beautiful place in the world? This is the perfect place for us to stay, so very comfortable and cozy. The owners made us feel so welcome, sharing all the glories of the surrounding countryside with us. Wonderfully appointed kitchen that is open to the living area, making for an easy living situation. Grill out in the back and eat at the picnic table overlooking the fields and hills. Watch the sunset from the patio, back inside for tea by the fire. Plenty of space to spend all day inside too. The bedrooms were spacious and perfect even for three children in one of the rooms. Three bathrooms made it easy for getting ready and out in the morning too. We really felt at home here, and will always go out of our way to make sure this is our destination on holidays.

Spacious accommodations, very nicely built and furnished. The fireplace was especially welcome. After coming from France it was great to have so much room. One of my favorite trip photos is one I took from the upstairs bedroom looking out onto rolling green pastures with young lambs bounding about. The location was within easy driving distance to Glasgow and Stirling.

Carol's mother had lived here, so there are still items around which make a lived-in atmosphere rather than a sometimes stark rental cottage. For instance books, comfy chairs, vases for flowers, pictures, choice of place mats, lamps, etc. Indeed, the kitchen has more cooking containers than I want to use on holiday! However, I would much rather a place is over equipped than missing items so we found Thorntree Barn offered everything we needed together with a friendly, welcoming, cheerful and homely atmosphere.

Gorgeous position and well thought out for parking and privacy. [Added at Editor's discretion since it appears to be a helpful review and the reviewer has been authenticated]

Extremely nice situated. Car is necessary, as the cottage is situated out of the village. Accommodation was clean, spacey, cosy, comfortable, quiet.
