James' Cottage
A historic cottage in the grounds of a 17th-century Scottish castle
Stay in Central Scotland
Bridge View is a newly renovated two-bedroom vacation rental in the heart of lovely Dunblane. It is spacious and bright and sleeps up to four in comfort. It is tastefully decorated in a modern style and offers nice views of the Allan Water river and High Street. The apartment includes a hallway, large modern eat-in kitchen, a comfortable living room, two bedrooms (one with king size bed, one with separate twins) and a spacious bathroom with a shower stall. Access is via an external staircase from a private parking area at the side of the building, and then two short flights of stairs lead up to the third floor. Amenities include Wi-Fi and a TV with local channels, a washing machine and drying rack, but no dryer.
The apartment is located in the heart of Dunblane, one of our favorite small towns in Scotland. It is only a 3 minute-walk to the train and bus stations. Shops, restaurants and two supermarkets are all close by. Dunblane is a perfect home base for exploring Scotland by car or rail, and many enjoy its friendly small town atmosphere.
The lovely owner lives elsewhere in Dunblane and is only a phone call away.
