Scenery and accommodation stunning
Brilliant idea letting out students rooms at the summer break, beautiful settings and loads of amenities locally. The “Scran”restaurant brilliant,tasty food and great staff and prices. There is a shop and a chemist on grounds. Scenery beautiful.rooms basic and comfortable.communal area for making lunch,tea etc My only criticism would be maybe too basic rooms,no hand towels or anywhere to put your shampoo etc in shower. Nice and peaceful accommodation I’ll be back time and again. The reception staff friendly and efficient I’d highly recommend staying there. Close to bridge of Allan and a beautiful hotel Meadowpark near by,also a hotel also set in university grounds brilliant stay thanks

my fault as i misunderstood that this was LITERALLY a college dorm room in a socialist architecture building....tiny, only one chair (plastic hard backed) a bed with a mattress that was more like a box spring, one window that only opened partially...no AC...small, tight bathroom (shower only)...spartan quarters.....never again

Accommodation fine but organisation poor - 6 people behind reception area when checking out. Queue of people waiting, clearly a busy time of day, only one person came out to the desk and couldn't help with any queries. Black sticky patch on bathroom floor with hairs sticking out of it, very off putting, otherwise clean room. No milk sachets but no problem when I asked for some and for hair dryer. Need a system for checking the dryers back in though, otherwise how do you know who has returned what? My room details were taken when I borrowed it. Need bigger sheets as they dont fit properly and plastic mattresses no fun in the heat. Room and building really stuffy - air conditioning likely to be needed going forwards. Very noisy outside- lots of loud voices but did quieten later as per the request notices. Beautiful surroundings, safe and plenty of parking space.

Great stay in Stirling
Was able to check in around 9pm without any difficulties, reception is manned until late. Large car park, plenty of spaces. Room clean, spacious and comfortable. Large shower. Only slight issue was a loud noise coming from the pipe work in the bathroom every few minutes, quite irritating. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great value, would recommend, would stay again.

What a find! Pristine room and excellent value.
Fantastic value for money. Great spacious room with ensuite shower and plenty light. Bus operates from site but we gave up waiting after 20 minutes and walked into town which took over 45 minutes. Staff friendly and helpful. On site cafe served quick and tasty pizza at reasonable prices. Perfect choice and would stay here again.

It was clean and pleasant, very nice staff. But the students make so much noise talking loudly outside the building all night long every night, it's difficult to sleep.

Disappointed.
I was disappointed in my recent visit to willow Court, I have stayed before! Severe lack of small essentials, no plastic glasses to rinse, one towel, one tiny bar of soap and no floor towel for after showering. . A soap dish or tray in the shower would be good. It is very reasonably priced but an upgrade on basic essentials would help.

What a find ! Quiet, secluded, friendly welcoming, helpful staff, superb room, easily accessible, facilities on site, food and drink available, good breakfast choices. Easy access to the city and all the attractions in the area. I could not find a single fault and for B&B, the price was fabulous. If you are going to be in Stirling, this is the place to stay ! Very highly recommended.

This is student accomodation that the university lets out of normal term time. It's a very pleasant, quiet place with a loch, walking and sports facilities. Staff are mainly students with a helpful "can do" attitude. Located 2.5 miles from Stirling and easy walking distance to Bridge of Allan which has great bars and restaurants. It's a welcome alternative to overpriced and poor hotels in Stirling. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Good value but can do better
Have previously stayed in the adjacent but slightly newer Juniper Court. Willow Court was similar but not as good. Reason was two fold, much noisier, there was a large and frankly ignorant and loud bus party, not the residences fault, but a disadvantage compared to next door. Second reason was a distinct lack of pots and cutlery. Good value cheap and clean, but last time was better so poorer review.
