Friars Wynd hotel was an incredibly unique boutique hotel on my 3 week UK road trip. Within this area parking is very limited, but there was a car park within 100 feet of my door. There is free parking after 5 PM I think? Until about 8am? Which was completely acceptable. The room was absolutely adorable and I had a wonderful soak in their very large clean tub after driving several hours. Check in was very simple with Harry in the pub, which is connected to the hotel. She was such a delight. I highly suggest spending a few minutes talking with her about the area. She also recommended an amazing dinner when I asked for a budget friendly pub. No. 2 Baker street was great!! Best steak pie ever! I was able to just leave my hotel room key in the room when I checked out. I thought there was an issue with the toilet flushing and Harry immediately & professionally had maintenance ready to come. However, there was no issue. It was just my lack of experience with older systems. The manager called her right back and told me just to literally hold it for a couple more seconds. The toiletries were fantastic and I loved the big soft towels!! Wonderful assortment of coffee, tea, and biscuits. (Cookies for Americans) I loved the entrance that led to a hallway directly to my unique ground. I felt very safe at the hotel and in the area! Thank you Harry

Great night’s sleep.

The beds were by far the best part of this stay. They were comfortable & the location was very quiet. It was a great night’s sleep. The check in was a little confusing, from the car park you have to wind your way through a maze of a building to find yourself in the bar that also serves as the check-in. The furniture & carpet was worn, but clean. No hair dryer or shampoo provided. We also were on the end of the building & were out of range of the internet & were only able to access it from the bar.

In the heart of Stirling

Convenient location to historic downtown and attractions. A paid public parking lot was about 1/3 mile away, which wasn’t too bad if you are traveling light. Lots of nearby coffee shops and cafes and pubs with music (if your timing is right). It’s in an old building so we wandered through multiple fire doors and hallways to get to our room. The staff is very nice. The room was a nice size and nicely furnished with chairs, coffee table, etc. The bed was a little hard, the pillows flat. The bathroom was nice but the shower drained slowly. I was lucky in my timing and enjoyed listening to local play folk music (every second Monday) at a pub just around the corner.

Hotel lay out was confusing but loved the apartment style room. Great to have a kitchenette and a washing machine! A laundry horse would have been nice (instead of hanging things on the radiators) but it all worked out. Windows opened for cool air but no screens. No dining, front of hotel is just a bar, but plenty of options nearby. Great location for an easy walk up to Stirling Castle.

Finding the check-in spot was confusing as it’s in the cafe. There is no typical front desk/ reception area. The staff was very helpful once we found her and she helped us on the phone prior to our arrival to find parking which is challenging. The guest house is a maze of hallways which is a bit confusing, but the room was clean, the bed comfortable and the bathroom large with lots of hot water! Within walking distance of the old town and castle.
