    Val really needs to replace her instruction book. We didn’t have any recycle bins in the house, even though she said their were and she had told us. Other that a couple conversations with Val, there wasn’t instructions on how to separate our trash. The house got very damp. To the point our clothes even felt damp. It’s got a great location and you can see Stirling Castle and the William Wallace monument. Dehumidifier would have been good or an exhaust fan in the laundry room. Not too bad of a stay, just needed those instructions.

    Unfortunately, I cannot recommend that anyone stay here due to the host’s intrusive and inappropriate treatment of us. While the property is nice, the environment created by Val’s behavior is not one I would recommend. She wandered through the home we stayed in, which is next door to her main residence, whenever she saw fit, whether we were there or not, even removing items. She continually made passive aggressive comments. She made us feel unwelcome. It was quite alarming. This is an important FYI. Based off our experience, I cannot offer my recommendation.

    What a wonderful weekend we have just had at Bankend Farm, Val was a wonderful host and we couldn’t have asked for more. Fantastic recommendations for places to eat, helped us get a taxi when we were loosing faith with the taxi companies in Stirling and as for the house it was clean, light and we all slept brilliantly. Perfect for a get together with plenty of room, we don’t want to say too much as we shall definitely be recommending for a catch up venue for family and friends. We shall return
