We were a family party of 3 on vacation in Scotland. We chose Boll Cottage for its proximity to historical sites near and in Stirling. The property manager, Gemma, was very communicative before and during our stay, which was helpful. The home is conveniently located in Alva and we were able to walk easily to the town center for grocery items and to some restaurants. We were also able to easily access some hiking spots in Alva from the home. The property was clean and as shown in the photos on the site. It was well equipped with items needed during a stay. Our stay was quite comfortable. The front garden area is lovely and the views from the garden are lovely as well. Gemma recommended some places to eat, particularly No. 5 Inn in Alva, and Bar Aldo's in Alloa, and these were excellent. Stirling is a short drive away and has lots of history to offer, as well as being a nice town to visit. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Boll Cottage and recommend it to others. Gemma is an excellent host.
