    The only issue with the property was the shower was slow to drain. Making a puddle that could splash out and wet the bathroom floor.

    No negative, just be aware there isn't much else in Doune :-)

    We loved the Woodside. The big, comfy room with a big bed and free mini-bar-snacks and drinks and many amenities. Great restaurant we ate both nights. Nice bar. Great breakfast. Free parking on own parking. Close to Doune Castle. 15 Minutes drive from Stirling. Husband was happy with running options from hotel.

    No complaints at all

    At last they are supplying a traditional breakfast. Cereal, juice, croissants etc instead of scones and cakes!

    The bedroom was slightly small but everything else made up for it

    The location was wonderful, the hotel and staff were very welcoming and friendly and the atmosphere in the Woodside felt the same. Due to a change of plan we found this little gem by chance and will definitely come back

    Only reason we didn’t give 10 out of 10 is the shower is missing a slip mat. We were sliding all over the place. For older folks it really is a small expense to bring stability. Also new owners took Steak pie off the menu and it was to die for.

    Great location. Rooms fully refurbished from 5 years ago when we last stayed here last, very nice and comfortable.

    I like an early night so ideally would have liked to be in a room away from the beer garden but the music was turned off at 10.30 so not too bad 😁

    Comfy beds and great shower.. also lively welcome gift after a long day driving

    Unfortunately we stayed on one of the warmest days in Scotland this year. Our room was stifling. We had an electric fan but it didn’t negate the temperature issue. Hopefully an issue for south facing rooms only.

    Great location, rooms spotless, family run, tastefully decorated and food delicious.

    7 days of enjoyable sightseeing in the Sterling area of Scotland, from an enjoyable base called The Woodside.

    During our stay the room was remade every day and items replenished apart from our penultimate day, for some strange reason, we were missed. But having brought the matter to the staffs noticed we were straight away given fresh towels, replacement drink items etc for our room. Which was Ok, but to be honest it shouldn’t happen if the management kept their eye on the ball. Another minor thing was we pointed out on our arrival that one of the biggest curtain had unhooked on its main leader ring, which hampered its hanging correctly. This during our stay wasn’t corrected. The house keeping whilst daily visits did miss other small things like ensuring the wash basin was wiped, cushions at times were left on the floor, or back onto the bed dependant on which maid did the room, maybe carpet not hoovered as often as it could of been…… I have to point out these things were something we overlooked as we are easy going, but it is the reason I slightly marked down our top end scores…. If these matters are addressed then it would be 10/10 throughout, without a doubt, as these small things make the difference between good and excellent…..

    It ticked the main requirements of good sized room, comfortable bed, good shower and bathroom facilities, very good breakfast, good evening meals, welcoming staff. Nice facilities in room for tea and coffee making, with daily replenished little treats and bottled waters. Accommodation in all comfortable and well positioned within most sightseeing venues. The Woodside is positioned on a reasonably busy road side,so some traffic noise is evident, but doesn’t really detract from the good points. The quality of the food produce was first class, supplied by a local farm store, the bacon, sausages, black pudding were some of the best I have sampled.
