Dating back to c.1775, our spacious 3 bedroom apartment has recently been meticulously restored to celebrate its rich history going back 250 years, whilst offering a luxuriously modern living experience. Situated in the heart of the old town, the Castle, Tolbooth and Old Town Jail are right on your doorstep, with the city's top restaurants and bars just a short walk away. Located on the top floor, nestled among the rooftops, every window offers a curated view of a city steeped in history. After a busy day exploring the local attractions, the cosy living room provides the perfect setting to unwind. A 55" smart TV loaded with the latest on-demand shows and Netflix, along with an array of locally sourced books and board games, ensures entertainment for the whole family. For all your culinary adventures, the fully equipped kitchen off the living room features modern conveniences, including a state-of-the-art steam oven, induction hob and dishwasher. Facing out to the Tolbooth 'The William Wallace Room' has been sympathetically restored to reflect its traditional grandeur, showcasing the original hardwood flooring throughout and breath-taking views of across the old town to the Ochil Hills beyond. Facing the Old Town Jail to the rear, our equally glamorous 'Mary Queen of Scots Room' offers an opulent boutique design with a modern twist, complimented by picturesque views of the Old Town Jail to wake up to. Both bedrooms include fitted wardrobes and king-sized beds with luxuriously thick 7-layer mattresses, coupled with rich linens, ensuring an exceptionally restful night’s sleep.

Jul 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fantastic in every way The pre arrival information was comprehensive and we had no problems finding the accommodation, gaining access and parking. The area was perfect for sightseeing, if needed the hop on bus stopped jest a minutes walk away. We also arranged a visit to the observatory at the Stirling Highland Hotel which was close by so thanks to Bert for that.The accommodation was high quality and had everything you need either to cook at home or make a light meal. The beds were the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in. We didn’t need the bunk rooms but the two main rooms were large and nicely decorated. Fans were available if needed and there was an outdoor space to sit ( great as we had lovely weather). We really appreciated the welcome pack and the chalk board with recommendations for visits and where to eat.We were at the jail so that was a must see as was the Castle just a few minutes walk away and the local church. The Portcullis pub was between those two buildings so great for drinks and a meal. Lots of places nearby for food and drink to suit everyone’s needs.Brea was lovely for local fayre and don’t miss brunch at Vera. I recommend this to anyone wanting to explore the area - I don’t think you could do better. Thanks to our hosts. ##### Karen B. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer K.

Very warm and inviting apartment. I wanted to live there and never leave!Beds were dreamy! Kitchen amazing! Living space was awesome! ##### Jennifer K. Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris Apr 10, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Lovely place with all amenities needed for a night away! ##### Chris Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Fabulous Apartment! Beautiful, clean, renovated, stylish but cozy apartment. Lovely attention to detail. Fresh eggs, milk, cookies and tea/coffee supplies were provided. We would absolutely stay there again. The host, Daniel, was incredibly kind and responsive to our various inquiries. The views are great, as is the location, close to restaurants and shops.Take the listing’s statement that it “is not suitable for those with limited mobility” seriously. One has to walk through a close/courtyard that has a few doors and stairs, and then climb quite a few stairs in a spiral staircase in the turret to the apartment. My bum knee didn’t like that. However, as the listing also states “the views can certainly justify it!” We enthusiastically agree. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Glasgow-Airport.h809324.Hotel-Information) > > [No Man's Fort](https://www.expedia.ca/Portsmouth-Hotels-No-Mans-Fort.h11536410.Hotel-Information) > > [Mercure Northampton](https://www.expedia.ca/Northampton-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Northampton-Town-Centre.h12543.Hotel-Information) > > [Old Course Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Andrews-Hotels-Old-Course-Hotel.h522846.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Hamilton Park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Hamilton-Park.h33810078.Hotel-Information) > > [The Green Hotel Golf & Leisure Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Kinross-Hotels-The-Green-Hotel-Golf-Leisure-Resort.h1130671.Hotel-Information) > > [Perle Oban Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Oban-Hotels-Perle-Oban-Hotel-Spa.h993007.Hotel-Information) > > [The Garrison](https://www.expedia.ca/Fort-William-Hotels-The-Garrison.h24101351.Hotel-Information) > > [Bloc Hotel London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Bloc-Hotel-London-Gatwick-Airport.h6594190.Hotel-Information) > > [Heated indoor pool & spa, countryside holiday cottage near the beach & park](https://www.expedia.ca/Hastings-Hotels-Heated-Indoor-Pool-Spa.h18971402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton London Gatwick Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Hilton-London-Gatwick-Airport.h20753.Hotel-Information) > > [Bonkle House](https://www.expedia.ca/Wishaw-Hotels-Bonkle-House.h15996183.Hotel-Information) > > [Pennyhill Park Hotel And Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Bagshot-Hotels-Pennyhill-Park-Hotel-And-Spa.h517256.Hotel-Information) > > [Windermere Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Windermere-Manor-Hotel.h22280374.Hotel-Information) > > [Pinewood Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Ibstock-Hotels-Pinewood-Lodge.h17183221.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Peterborough-Marriott-Hotel.h691233.Hotel-Information) > > [Uig Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Portree-Hotels-Uig-Hotel.h2261957.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Hamilton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Hamilton.h1889137.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Beach House Rental with Hot Tub, 30 meters to Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Looe-Hotels-Luxury-Beach-House-Rental-With-Hot-Tub.h27313935.Hotel-Information) > > [Beautiful Country Cottage private Indoor Swimming Pool ,Hot Tub, & Games room.](https://www.expedia.ca/Swindon-Hotels-Beautiful-Country-Cottage-Private-Indoor-Swimming-Pool.h34047025.Hotel-Information) > > [The Harlow Hotel By AccorHotels](https://www.expedia.ca/Harlow-Hotels-The-Harlow-Hotel-By-AccorHotels.h950.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Peterborough by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Peterborough.h281577.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge Gatwick Airport Central](https://www.expedia.ca/Gatwick-Hotels-Travelodge-Gatwick-Airport-Central.h10160516.Hotel-Information) > > [JA Mar Hall Scotland](https://www.expedia.ca/Bishopton-Hotels-Mar-Hall-Golf-Spa-Resort.h1077249.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Inn by Radisson Peterborough](https://www.expedia.ca/Peterborough-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Peterborough.h2254377.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express Glasgow Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Paisley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Glasgow-Airport.h519994.Hotel-Information) > > [Unique Luxury Escapes](https://www.expedia.ca/Diss-Hotels-Unique-Luxury-Escapes.h29745570.Hotel-Information) > > [Atholl Palace Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Pitlochry-Hotels-Atholl-Palace-Hotel.h63637.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson BLU Hotel Durham](https://www.expedia.ca/Durham-Hotels-Radisson-BLU-Hotel-Durham.h2226171.Hotel-Information) > > [Days Inn by Wyndham Hamilton](https://www.expedia.ca/Hamilton-Hotels-Days-Inn-By-Wyndham-Hamilton.h3924670.Hotel-Information)
