Despite being far from busy Dinner service was extremely slow so much that we had to leave before our desert arrived. The Breakfast buffet was tepid at best , and unpalateable at worst so much that we went elsewhere second morning. Final straw was having to change rooms at 2am due to a rowdy guest who ignored request for quiet

The noise from upstairs was unbearable. Loud rhythmic heavy bass music playing until I went to complain at 3:30 am. Saturday night. Sunday night noise began to start up at 1030pm and I had to go complain again. Phone in room didn’t work so had to go down in person. 2 nights very little sleep. Would definitely not recommend this hotel

We're used to staying in hotels a fair amount and have stayed here a few times. But felt Stirling Highland wasnt quite what it used to be. The water in the shower in all of our rooms was very cool. Tge staff were pleasa t enough but i felt a nice wee gesture for my mum in laws 80th birthday would have been nice. Even just a happy birthday. And the pool was closed which we knew about but still disappointing. Not sure we'll rush back!
