A lovely place to stay, very friendly and helpful hosts! Easy stroll to the city centre and top notch breakfast. My husband has stayed there several times before, and I'm sure we will be there again, hopefully soon!

My stay at Heatherdale was very welcome at the end of my vacation. The Baillie's were great hosts. When first checking in, they offered, and did, book a table for me at one of the nearby restaurants; Birds and Bees. Not something that many B&B's would have done for me in the past. The full breakfast was ample and delicious. The room was exactly as pictured on their website, was clean from the start and was kept clean throughout my few days here. A slight hiccup with getting the wifi access set up did not detract me from the overall experience of my stay. If I am back in the area, I would love to book again here.

The location here was great for getting to the Wallace Monument and to Stirling Castle. Doune Castle was also about 15 minutes drive by rental car. The neighborhood around Heatherdale is entirely flat, so you can walk to restaurants within 10-15 minutes time without up/down hills. Did not use bus service while here, but there appeared to be stops just steps away on the Causewayhead Road.

I went to this place with my girlfriend in March 2010, to stay for one night and to visit my sister at the university. We originally chose the place because it was in between the university and the city center and it seemed promising.

When booking, they were really helpful over the phone and answered my email promptly. We were arriving a little bit later than expected, which was no problem.

The house felt like a second home. We were welcomed at the door by both Jim and Christine, a lovely couple. They showed us to our room (a double room with en-suite), and told us about good dinner places.

The room was spacious, and it had all the necessary things for a good night sleep. The decoration was homey and simple. The bed was wide, and really comfortable with clean sheets and comfy blankets. We didn't even notice that it had an electric heater mattress, but we didn't need it as the room was warm enough. The toilet and the shower were cleverly hidden behind a mirror wall. It was very clean as everything else in the house. The room also had a kettle and some tea/coffee, and a TV.

Jim asked us what time we'd like our breakfast the night before, and he was prepared to cook it anytime we wanted. We had a choice of different "mains". I went for the classic Scottish fry-up. The breakfast was served in what I think was their living room. Nicely decorated and it felt like having breakfast at home, only the dining table was much nicer and the breakfast itself was great. We had a choice of yoghurts, cereals, plenty of toast, juice, and the fry up was more than enough to keep me going for the whole day.

I'd definitely recommend this place if you want great value for money, and a good night sleep in a quiet clean house.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend it for people who want to party until very late, as I'd feel uncomfortable going to someone's home late at night. I suppose this is the same for all BB's though, and Jim did say he can make arrangements if we are coming very late at night. We came in around 11pm, which was no problem at all.

They don’t take cards, so have enough cash with you when you go.

We also discovered that taking a taxi is about the same price as taking a bus, so we used that to go to town and to the university. You could’ve walked to the city centre in about 15 minutes, but we thought a few pounds per person is not too bad for getting a taxi.

I am definitely going back there!
