Iona review

Situated in the heart of Stirling. Iona was a short walk to amenities, Stirling castle, pubs, trains and buses. The beds were very comfortable and kitchen had a microwave, toaster, range, fridge, washer, dryer and coffee maker. All user friendly. Thanks to our wonderful hosts who went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible.

Beautiful and well located

We were really impressed with how lovely and comfortable our stay was. And the kitchen was well supplied with any useful cooking device or tool, so making meals was easy. You can easily walk to the castle and to the busses and trains. If stairs are a problem for someone, it is important to note that the bedrooms are up one flight. We didn't mind a bit.

Great family stay at Iona House (Stirling)

We enjoyed our 10-day stay as a family at Iona House very much. Bedrooms were spacious, also other rooms provided what we needed. The house was fully equipped and is in an excellent location (5 mins walk to restaurants and shops in the town centre, 5 min up the hill to the castle). Top ratings for the host who was very helpful with advice and assistance (e.g., parking) and for the agency we booked with for timely and complete rental information as well as ease of booking. We highly recommend the house, as well as Stirling, as a great hub for holidays in Scotland using public transport.

Perfect place to stay in Stirling

Perfect location, 10 minute walk from the train station. I would recommend a taxi if you have luggage or have mobility issues as the property is up a pretty steep road. Walking distance to stirling castle. 45 minutes to Edinburgh by train. Property is very clean and comfortable. The host was very responsive and left a very nice welcome basket. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

It’s so special to be able to enjoy all that Stirlingshire and nearby towns have to offer and then return to the luxury of Iona House. Thank you for your feedback- Iona is in the historic Old Town of Stirling so is in the hillier part of the city! This, however, gives you a really short walk to the wonderful Castle and other historic parts of the Old Town. We look forward to welcoming you on your next vacation with Stirling Self Catering.

Very lovely and central accommodation

Iona is a beautiful accommodation with a very appealing decor. The equipment includes everything you need for a pleasant stay, also the kitchen is very well equipped. The second bathroom is also very practical. A parking lot is available right in front of the house. The owner is very friendly, after we arrived only after midnight, she put food in the fridge for us so we could have breakfast without leaving the house. That's really nice! The accommodation is very central, you can walk to everything in Stirling (train station, shops, restaurants, pubs, castle).

Iona Exceeds Expectations!

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Iona! Iona is lovingly cared for and we were immediately charmed by the front entrance and garden. The home is very clean and comfortable, and the location is perfect for exploring Stirling and the surrounding area. Lots of shops nearby and a very nice neighborhood. Carole is the very best host we have worked with; she is incredibly responsive and helpful, ensuring we had everything we needed. We especially appreciated the nice linens and comfortable beds. The appliances are also clean and in excellent working order, making our stay that much more comfortable. It is easy to see the care and attention to detail at Iona - it is generously stocked and beautifully decorated. We highly recommend Iona and will be staying again this summer!

Iona is the perfect holiday home!

This was our family's third time at Iona, and we appreciate it more with every stay! Iona is conveniently located in a charming neighborhood of Stirling, close to City Centre, historic sites, and transportation. Iona is meticulously maintained and clean, offering the comfortable feeling of being at home. The beds and linens are excellent, the kitchen well-stocked, and the appliances are in good working order. It is clear from every detail and amenity that the owners and manager of Iona take great care so that your visit is as easy and comfortable as possible. This is our first time visiting in the summer and Iona's garden is lovely - and a comfortable place to sit in the garden and enjoy the flowers and beautiful Stirling. We are so thankful for the responsive and kind communication from the property manager and for our time at Iona!

Schönes Ferienhaus

Kleines feines Ferienhaus, komplett ausgestattet und absolut sauber und gepflegt. Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin. Wir waren 1 Woche hier und haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt! Das Haus ist ideal um Ausflüge in die Umgebung von Stirling zu unternehmen.

Perfect home from home holiday accommodation

First of all I would like to thank Carole for being a great host. She is very friendly and helpful. We had never considered Stirling before and chose Iona because of it's central location. We stayed there at the New Year and had friends and family over to visit. They enjoyed exploring Stirling and the castle. The house is warm and cosy, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The beds are comfortable which is important for me as I sometimes have trouble sleeping. No problems here at all. Had a lovely Hogmanay at the Settle Inn across the road chatting to the friendly locals and watched the fireworks at the Wallace Monument at midnight. All in all a great holiday home and at a very good price. I would have no hesitation in booking Iona again and would highly recommend Iona if you are looking for a self-catering holiday in Stirling.
