We stayed at Victoria Square for one night as a stop-over in Stirling, and we were not disappointed! We stayed in Room 6, which had a 4-poster bed and walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head, which felt amazing after our long drive. The staff was excellent and made us feel right at home. When you arrive, they also take your breakfast order for the following morning so it is ready when you want it. The hotel was also quiet, away from main streets, and we didn't hear any of the other guests. In fact, we didn't even know there were other guests we went down to breakfast. The hotel is also within walking distance from the Port Street area, which has a bunch of great places to find food and coffee. We didn't end up eating at the restaurant in the hotel.

One of the best places we've ever stayed - the garden level room was beautifully styled, spotlessly clean, and the bathroom of a very high standard with lovely Arran Aromatics toiletries. Breakfast was delicious, porridge with almonds and blueberries, and bagels with scrambled egg and smoked salmon. Each dish freshly cooked, all properly piping hot (not microwaved). The lady serving breakfasts was busy but still had time to chat pleasantly, as did the owner when we checked out. All in all a very positive experience, thank you :-)

Great location with easy walkability around Stirling to pubs and sites. No lifts which can be problematic for elderly or lot of luggage.

Great little B&B with smaller rooms, but great dinning. Fabulous location with walking distance to Stirling Castle and town. Parking is limited but wasn't a problem finding a spot.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Our room had a nice sitting area with a view of the Square which was very relaxing. The staff were friendly and professional. The breakfast was pretty good too. I really liked the location since the neighborhood was beautiful and it was easy to walk to the main attractions in Stirling. I would stay here again if in the area.

Had a good stay here in this busy little hotel on outskirts of Stirling. Only 10min walk to shopping and 20mins to castle and other attractions. Quiet rooms and nice breakfast, friendly owner
