Ben Cruachan Guest House

The property is around 2.3 km from Camera Obscura and World of Illusions, 2.4 km from National Museum of Scotland and 1.7 km from The Real Mary King's Close. In good weather, guests are welcome to sit outside. Very nice and clean room with the best breakfast we ever had in a guesthouse! The owner and staff were super firendly and helpful. It's located just 15-20 mins from the old town, but also quite close to the Arthur's seat which is a must visit!

Birchwood Guest Lodge

Balmaha

At the guest house, all rooms have a desk, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom. All guest rooms at Birchwood Guest Lodge come with a seating area.

Glasgow is 33 km from Birchwood Guest Lodge, while Stirling is 42 km from the property. The nearest airport is Glasgow Airport, 42 km from the guest house. Wonderful location, lovely outdoor area that allowed for eating outside when the weather is nice and a large kitchen area and balcony. The owners are absolutely lovely too! For those wanting to relax on their own, the hand built beds and foldaway table in the rooms also made the cosy rooms a nice area to eat and play cards if you prefer. More than enough parking. Perfect location to Loch Lomond, local shops and pubs and the charming Cashel Forest for nice hikes and walks along the pebble beaches. Being on this side of the Loch really makes you feel like you are in the middle of nowhere, despite being less than an hour from Glasgow. A perfect trip with my family.
