roses and other period features make it a winner. There's a great family room, and some
rooms have views to the castle towering above.

Forth Guest House££

; 23 Forth Pl; s/d £50/60; )
Just a
couple of minutes' walk from town, on the other side of the railway, this noble Georgian
terrace offers attractive and stylish accommodation at a fair price. The rooms are very
commodious, particularly the cute garret rooms with their coombed ceilings and good
modern bathrooms. Substantially cheaper in low season.
Stirling Highland Hotel £££

; Spittal St; r £130-190; )
The un-
usual Stirling Highland Hotel is a sympathetic refurbishment of the old high school. The
curious place still feels institutional in parts, but has great facilities that include pool, spa,
gym, sauna and squash courts. It's very convenient for the castle and Old Town, service is
helpful and the comfortably refitted rooms have decent beds, though they vary widely in
size. Deluxe rooms offer the best views but aren't really worth the £50 upgrade. Prices are
often lower than listed here.

Cairns Guest House££
(

This central
guest house gives decent value for simple comfort. The friendly, flexible, easy-going own-
ers will offer discounts for stays of more than one night, or if you don't want breakfast.
Munro Guesthouse££
(
01786-472685;

; 14 Princes St; s/d/f £34/60/85; )
Cosy and cheery, Munro Guesthouse is right in the centre of town, but located on a quiet
side street. Things are done with a smile here, and the smallish rooms are most inviting,
particularly the cute attic ones. The breakfast is also better than the norm, with fruit salad
on hand. There's easy (pay) parking opposite.
