The breakfast was fantastic - they had gluten free toast which was a great surprise. The BnB was on a quiet park but close enough to the main areas to still be convenient - we slept with the windows open on multiple nights without issue. The room was large and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful Victorian style house located in a lovely neighborhood in Stirling. 10 minute walk to the shops and sights including Stirling Castle, Church of the Holy Rude, and the Old Town Jail. There is a small parking lot behind the property and ample on-street parking (pay and display). Friendly, helpful staff. Walls in the room and bathroom could benefit from a little cleaning and freshening up, however. The shower in our room was very small. Overall, I would stay again, perhaps in a room with a larger shower.

We had a very nice stay! Friendly staff, good breakfasts. A couple of little things could be improved. No body wash or shampoo by the bath (had to unscrew and move from the shower) and no floor mat when we arrived. But overall very happy with our stay.

Owner is very attentive. I arrived early and was welcome and showed to my room. It is very conveniently located to Stirling castle,downtown, shopping and dining. They have an excellent restaurant, unfortunately was closed during my stay. I was traveling by myself and I feel very safe during my stay. Breakfast had an excellent variety. I ordered the Scottish breakfast,was cooked to perfection. Highly recommend this cute B&B.

The property is nice but the breakfast is really disappointing but edible. The property has a restaurant on property called The Orangery which is advertised as a premier Fine dining restaurant and serves lunch and dinner. Unfortunately the breakfast apparently is not a part of the fine dining experience. otherwise it’s a lovely place in a good location with a great staff!

Our stay here could not have been any better. From the moment we arrived till the time we left. The house is beautiful, very clean, breakfast was great, and the staff was absolutely wonderful. Parking in the back and easy walking to the castle and town with many wonderful pubs and restaurants. We did not eat dinner there only because we like to go to the local pubs and get the flavor of the town. I would highly recommend this property.

Lovely guesthouse in Stirling

I had a brief but very lovely stay at Victoria Square. The hostess was exceptionally warm from the moment I checked in, and was the highlight of my trip. My room was small but very comfortable. The hotel is in a quiet neighbourhood, which I liked. My only gripe is that the shower in my bathroom was very small. Breakfast was really nice too; I especially enjoyed the pancakes. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel.

Moldy bread and no restaurant

Restaurant not open on either night of my stay, had to find somewhere in town, got soaked returning to hotel on one occasion. Served a moldy piece of toast a breakfast, it was horrific. It was virtually all over the bread, so how someone could not see it was beyond me. The lady serving apologised but it was disgusting.
