Dunblane is a small cathedral town situated six miles north of Stirling. Its main landmark is Dunblane Cathedral and the Allan Water runs through the town centre, with the Cathedral and the High Street on the east side. The nearby town of Bridge of Allan is a former spa town at the foot of the Ochil Hills near Stirling. Today, the main street bears Alexander Hendersons name and the town is prosperous and home to Stirling University, a golf club and many shops and restaurants. So much of central Scotland is within easy reach of Dunblane, and it has good road and rail links to Glasgow, Edinburgh and St Andrews. The area is a haven for walkers, cyclists, anglers and nature lovers, and golfers are well served with Gleneagles about 20 minutes' drive away, along with Carnoustie and St Andrews, about an hours drive away. The Ochil Hills are on the doorstep, and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park a short drive to the north. Dunblane offers an excellent central touring location, while closer to home is the historic, of Bridge of Allan.

Was not too keen on the long, single track road to reach the property especially when meeting large vehicles coming the other way!

The castle grounds are wonderful. We saw carpets of snowdrops, and I would imagine the rhododendrons will be just as spectacular later in the season. If, as we did, you want to dine out, the local Dunblane taxi driver was very efficient. Our only complaint was that there was no heating on for our arrival, and although the underfloor heating does become very effective, it is not quick

The underfloor central heating was very effective in ensuring a cosy stay. The environs are really lovely with a small ravine below and tree lined avenue on the approach to the castle which lies 100 metres beyond the converted farm buildings where we stayed.
