One of Scotland's greatest stone castles, with a Renaissance royal palace and sweeping views over Stirling.
Stirling Castle is one of the largest and most historically important castles in Scotland. It stands on a volcanic crag with steep cliffs on three sides, and the rock has been fortified since ancient times. Generations of Scottish monarchs enlarged and embellished it, and Mary, Queen of Scots was crowned here in 1542.
Tip: Book your visit online in advance for a set date and time; the Great Hall and Royal Palace are the parts to head for first.

A family safari just outside Stirling, with lions, elephants, a dinosaur forest and a giant adventure playground.
Blair Drummond is a family safari park just outside Stirling, set in a 120-acre estate with over 300 animals. You can set out on a drive-through safari past the African reserve, home to Grant's zebra and southern white rhinos, the lion reserve and the Asian reserve with Bactrian camels and Père David's deer.
Tip: Tickets are online only and none are sold at the gate, so book ahead, especially at weekends and school holidays when it often sells out.

Scotland's largest surviving keep, with grand interiors and rooftop views across nine counties.

Tip: No need to book in advance, but the steep, narrow spiral stair to the upper floors and roof walk may not suit everyone.

A medieval castle above Dollar, once called Castle Gloom, with royal visitors and a famous preacher in its past.

Lodge was fantastic. We had an amazing view of the mountains was so relaxing watching the sunset. The lodge was clean and spacious perfect for our family of 6.
Really handy location for us, didnt have to travel far at all.
Really enjoyed our stay at Lodge 20, its lovely and comfortable overall.
Great place, really comfortable and clean.
Sofa needs a bit of a boost - its a bit saggy but otherwise everything was lovely.
Honestly, I was a bit surprised when I saw it wasnt a proper lodge but a big caravan instead. A pic of the outside wouldve helped set expectations. Its the only one on-site too. Still, for a family of four, it was roomy, tidy and had everything we needed for our stay. Not bad at all!
Great stay, will definitely come back soon!
Really enjoyed our stay, the team at the restaurant made it special!
Lodge is in need of a few maintenance issues and some of the fittings need renewed
The lodge could do with some repairs and replacing a few fittings, but overall still decent stay.
Great spot for exploring, we loved the location! Definitely recommend.
Perfect spot for unwinding and chilling out.
Chilled out and lovely
Mattresses needing replaced - extremely soft!
Nice place, would visit again
We had a great time, will return soon!
We loved how well-equipped the lodge was for kids and the lovely decor. The deck was perfect for relaxing evenings outside!
Had a lovely stay! The scenery was stunning and super peaceful. The lodge had everything we needed - couldnt ask for more really.
Really enjoyed our stay, the bedrooms were well thought out.
We stayed at this lodge recently and honestly, it was quite lovely. The place was really spacious and clean, with stunning mountain views that made our mornings special. Its a bit remote, which we liked because it meant peace and quiet, plus its only a short drive to local attractions. The staff were super friendly, which made our stay even better. The only downside was having to strip beds and check meters for gas and electric when leaving - feels a bit old-fashioned, especially since we thought Covid restrictions were easing. Still, wed definitely come back!
Great stay, would do again!
Honestly, we had a fantastic stay here! It was our first time at this place and we stayed in Lodge 6 - a three-bedroom setup that really had everything we needed. The double with en suite was comfy, the twin rooms were spacious and the small twin was perfect for the kids. We brought loads of things like tea towels and cleaning stuff, but turned out we didnt need to because the lodge was fully equipped - even a hoover, ironing board and iron were provided. The park itself is super peaceful, just what we wanted for a relaxing family weekend. Theres a shop nearby for any essentials and the views of the Ochil Hills are stunning. On-site restaurant was great too - just remember to book, as it gets busy. The staff were really friendly and helpful, calling us early to let us know the lodge was ready so we could check in sooner. The only thing is, you pay for electricity and gas at checkout, but its not much. Overall, we loved the quiet, friendly atmosphere and cant wait to come back!
Really enjoyed our stay, everything was spotless and cosy.
We loved the peaceful spot for parking and the staff were genuinely nice and helpful. The lodge was super comfy and clean. Would be perfect with a covered bar area-shame its not dog friendly!
We loved how roomy and comfy it was. The dishwasher was a bonus! With eight of us, there was still loads of space for everyone.
Really enjoyed the experience overall
We loved staying at this executive lodge! Everything we needed was there, from the high chair to the travel cot. The kitchen was fully stocked, making meal prep a breeze. Lovely place!
The park was really lovely and the lodges were super clean. We had a great break! Just a bit disappointed that the restaurant and bar arent dog friendly, though. Big no-no in my opinion, but thats just me!
We stayed here recently and it was pretty good overall. The heating was a bit of a surprise at first since we didnt know how to turn it down, so it was quite warm the first night! The beds were comfy and the lodge had everything we needed. The oven isnt exactly top-notch, but thats probably not a big deal since we didnt plan on cooking much. Were planning to come back in the summer to enjoy the lovely walks nearby. Just remember to bring bin bags and some extra toilet roll, theyre not supplied.
Our stay during October half term was really enjoyable. The lodge was spotless and had a modern vibe which we loved. Sadly, the on-site restaurant was shut because of the pandemic, but the reception shop had all we needed. The location is spot on - close to Stirling, Glasgow and Edinburgh. And honestly, the views from the site are absolutely stunning! Can't wait to come back in summer when everything looks even better!
We spent a week in a mini lodge. It’s very well located for walking in the Ochils but also for visiting tourist attractions in Edinburgh and Falkirk. The site is lovely and well maintained.
We stayed in de Ben Buck holiday home. It was in excellent condition. The Woods is a very tranquil park, and apart from some sounds of cars moving, there is no noise whatsoever. There are lots of things to do around Stirling
Good weekend break close to local amenities and nice well kept site.
Another amazing stay at The Woods, beautiful and tranquil, sunshine all weekend, amazing place to switch off to the world and recharge ?
Outstanding beautiful surroundings. Quiet and peaceful, so well organised. Lodge stunning, everything you need and more. Will be returning to The Woods.
Very good site , peaceful area and very quiet at night , site well maintained by staff and all staff very helpful,
A fantastic lodge in a fantastic location. I’ll definitely be booking again!
Excellent stay as always. Beautiful accommodation & lodge was spotless. Will return again very soon.
We had a beautiful lodge looking over Ochil Hills, lodge was great and modern, lovely big decking. Had a couple of meals at restaurant and they were really good. Staff very friendly and helpful, will be back and would recommend The Woods.
Lovely lodge with plenty of room. Excellent decking area attached to the lodge, with seating for 6. Would be great in the sunny weather!
Amazing holiday and people were so friendly
Very good very helpful
