About Stirling

What are the best hotels in Stirling?

Stirling is a lovely city to explore, with its imposing castle set on an extinct volcano, winding cobbled streets and gorgeous views towards the Highlands. There’s loads of history to discover, from the Wallace Monument to the battlefield of Bannockburn, and plenty of countryside nearby for walking. When it comes to places to stay, we’d look just outside the centre for a characterful country house, but Victoria Square is a great find in town. With just ten individually decorated rooms, a cosy, romantic feel and an excellent restaurant, it’s our top pick for a couples’ getaway.
