Thornhill Lodge, Historic 4 Bed, 4 Ensuite

Thornhill Lodge was very spacious, clean and quiet at night. We enjoyed the layout of the lodge as well as the private courtyard at the back of the property. The location was great for the sites we were visiting during our stay. We appreciated that the host stopped out when we had a few questions. The cons of the lodge were that there is a fairly busy road(during the day) at the front of the lodge that runs through town with some larger trucks during the day. The access drive to the parking at the back of the lodge was crazy narrow and difficult to turn into, even by UK narrow standards. We experienced some issues with the washer/dryer combo at the lodge and did only receive the response from the host to check the manual, however there wasn't a manual for the appliance and we could not find it online as the model number wasn't readily shown. We had counted on doing laundry for clean clothes for the duration of our vacation so this was pretty disappointing. The wifi was not great and the directions appeared to not provide all of the information to improve it. Having never visited Scotland, we were not familiar with some of the other appliances at the lodge and although the listing states to see the manuals at the lodge for assistance, there were few manuals there. We did not contact the host again as the response prior to that had repeatedly been to see the manual or look it up online.

Thornhill is in a lovely location, easy walking distance to dinner and a small market. Lovely area. Short drive to Stirling and Falkirk. Rooms were large and well appointed. A private bathroom for each of the bedrooms. It was a little tricky determining the wifi password, and which went with which area. Other than that, all was lovely.

Great little cottage for our group!

Wonderful visit! The lodge was perfect for our stay. Spacious and inviting. Having a place with so many rooms and bathrooms for our party of 8 made everything easier. We loved the peaceful location. Having a small shop across the street was convenient and The Smiddy was a great place to eat or grab groceries, just down the road. Thornhill was centrally located for day trips to many tourist sites.

Property has an old world charm with a blend of modern day comfort. Within easy access of Stirling/Falkirk attractions it made for a good home base and equally using train transport to Edinburgh proved a superb choice.
