Recently modernised 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom deceptively large cottage located in rural Stirlingshire. South Doll Farm Cottage dates back over 400 years and provides the perfect base for sightseeing in Stirling, Falkirk, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

South Doll Farm Cottage is a beautifully renovated 4-bedroom holiday cottage in the tranquil stunning Stirlingshire countryside.

With parts of the cottage dating back over 400 years, this spacious holiday home will provide the perfect base for your stay in Scotland. You can enjoy the unrestricted views across the countryside with the Ochil Hills to the north and River Forth to the east while relaxing in the garden after a hard day’s sightseeing.

South Doll Farm Cottage is situated 2.1 miles from the closest small village of Dunmore which lies along the road between Throsk and Airth on the banks of the River Forth. The cottage is ideally placed for visiting Stirling or Falkirk, as well as being almost equidistant from Edinburgh and Glasgow. The close proximity to both Kincardine and Clackmannanshire bridges also enables easy access to the Kingdom of Fife and beyond.

The nearest train station is 3.5 miles away in Larbert from where there are trains every 30 mins to Glasgow and Edinburgh both of which take approximately 45 minutes.

Facilities

On the ground floor, the entrance hallway leads to the twin and kingsize bedrooms which are located at opposite ends of the hallway from each other. Both of these bedrooms also share the large shower room located on this floor. The open plan lounge/ dining area has ample seating and dining space for 8 and the uniquely shaped kitchen, which was originally the Dairy Parlour, has everything you need for a self-catering holiday: fridge freezer, electric hob, oven, microwave washing machine, tumble drier and dishwasher.

On the upper floor, you will find a further kingsize bedroom and a single room. The large hall landing is kitted out with bean bags providing a chill-out area away from the rest of the house. The large family bathroom has a bath and a separate shower cubicle. Please note that due to the nature of such an old building the ceilings on the upper floor are sloped on either side with a flat centre ceiling. Please see photos for details.

A glorious family stay

We stayed at the cottage as 3 couples, two singles and a six year old for a surprise celebration family gathering with an Australian visitor.
The cottage worked beautifully to give private space for everyone in their rooms and also a perfect gathering space in the lounge diner.
We cooked every evening in the kitchen.
The large grass area was a perfect safe area for games with my grandson and sitting out at the outside table in the autumn sun.
We visited the Wallace Monument, the Kelpies and Falkirk Wheel as well as enjoying many wonderful walks in the Ochils....all less than half an hour drive away.
The communication from booking, throughout our stay and on departure was excellent.
Thoroughly recommend!

We were very pleased with the cottage, there was plenty of room for the 7 of us and ideally located between Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk and Glasgow. We were very warm and cosy and enjoyed ourselves immensely in beautiful Scotland, I have no hesitation in recommending this lovely cottage.

We have had a lovely stay and agency and owner reacted great on any topics that came up. The profile of the house should only state that the height of the top floor is only about 1,90m in main areas.

South Doll Farm cottage is a very spacious property and was handed over in a beautifully clean state. It is within an hours drive of Edinburgh, Loch Lommond etc so there is plenty to do within range of the cottage, and Stirling castle is only 15 minutes or so away. We did have a small issue when we were on site, but Kirsteen from Stirling Self Catering went out of her way to get it sorted as quickly as possible and kept us informed all of the way through the process.
It was a great base for our family of 5, (2 adults + 3 kids aged 12+) to enjoy the area; would definitely recommend.

Surrounded by countryside with views north to the mountains and the William Wallace Monument the cottage is a great countryside base if you want to visit Stirling, Glasgow or Edinburgh. It’s a very clean, well maintained and warm property, furnished to a high standard and has a well equipped kitchen. The company managing the property are very helpful and responsive to any queries you may have. It suited our purposes for visiting our son at Stirling University.
