I booked this visit for the end of a 3 week stay in Scotland...and I'm glad I did! Just yards from Stirling Castle and a view to die for. The staff were friendly and helpful and the room was beautiful. The bathroom was all modern with nice tiling. The town was also worth the visit, so full of history...just like... More

We stUmbled in here through sheer lack of planning and the first two places we expected to stay we're booked or closed. we were just too tired to keep looking, and...have noooo regrets! In short, we ate lunch and dinner here (both surprisingly good and interesting options) as well as our breakfast! The place was just friendly and yummy and... More

This was my first visit to The Portcullis and I was impressed with the quality of the food. The decor/chairs could be doing with an update and the staff were not as professional as could be (waiter told us of a previous customer wanting to come back to fight him??) but it was a relaxed atmosphere and to be honest...

A couple of us stayed here just before Christmas, unfortunately they had forgotten to make note of the fact and so the rooms were freezing cold as the heating had been turned off. The rooms look as though the have been recently refurbished and this maybe on-going as the communal areas such as the landings etc are pretty poor. There... More

After reading the great reviews decided to book here. The location was incredible..but the rooms were tiny. They didn't have fitted sheets ..or even hospital corners...in fact, if you lift your pillow you would see the mattress, uncovered by sheets. Never seen a bed made this way. The folks that work here are very nice. My sister-in- law got sick... More

Well, the hotel is in a great location, I'll give it that. And a friendly, helpful staff. Room #1 has a nice view over the castle. But- lumpy beds. I could literally feel the bed springs poking me as they squeaked all night long while I tossed and turned. The bathrooms seem to be recently remodeled but the water pressure... More

I was working in Stirling early on Monday morning so elected to drive from Manchester on Sunday night. I arrived late so expected to find the hotel in darkness and to be greeted by a grumpy night porter, instead I got a warm welcome from Jamie who showed me up to my spotless room complete with well appointed bathroom and...

On a tour of Scotland that better than sleeping next to Stirling Castle, in a building that you enter in the eighteenth century. We had the opportunity to dine at the restaurant / pub, nice food, good treatment and advice. Warm room, rustic, quiet, with good views of the area. Varied breakfast, cereal, fruit, yogurt, toast, juice, ... and with... More

Stopped in for lunch after visiting Stirling Castle. Nice atmosphere, cosy and welcoming. Staff very friendly and attentive. Ordered a couple of Paninis which were tasty enough. (salad a bit basic..just red lettuce, tomato and onion, no dressing offered ....I love salad!) Pub Grub on offer and a snack menu too.
