There's also a string of B&Bs along Causewayhead Rd, between the centre and the Wal-
lace Monument.
CASTLECROFT GUEST HOUSE ££
( 01786-474933;
www.castlecroft-uk.com
; Ballengeich Rd; s/d £50/65; )
Nestling into the
hillside under the back of the castle, this great hideaway feels like a rural retreat but is a
short, spectacular walk from the heart of historic Stirling. The fabulous lounge and deck
area boast extravagant views over green fields to the hills that gird the town, the rooms
have excellent modern bathrooms and the welcome couldn't be more hospitable. Break-
fast features homemade bread, among other delights.

; 24 Linden Ave; s/d £40/58; )
Offering excel-
lent value and a genuine welcome, this is a fine choice and easily accessed by car. A par-
ticularly appealing front room is one of three excellent modernised chambers with fridges
and good bathrooms. The owners also run various self-catering options around town; de-
tails via the website. It's next to Linden Guest House.

The warm
welcome and easy parking here offer understandable appeal. The rooms, two of which are
great for families, have fridges and posh TVs with DVD players and iPod docks, and the
gleaming bathrooms could feature in ads for cleaning products. Breakfast features fresh
fruit and kippers, among other choices.

STIRLING SYHA£
( 01786-473442;
www.syha.org.uk
; St John St; dm/tw £18.75/48; )
Right in the Old
Town, this hostel has an unbeatable location and great facilities. Though its facade is that
of a former church, the interior is modern and efficient. The dorms are compact but com-
fortable with lockers and en suite bathrooms; other highlights include a pool table, bike
shed and, at busy times, cheap meals on offer. Lack of atmosphere can be the only prob-
lem.
