Good value accommodation. Very basic - so no kettle in room, no shampoo etc - but you get what you pay for. Breakfast was great - although it wasn't clear where things where. I fancied cereal, but couldn't see it until I was leaving. But all well worth it for the money. Would stay again.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

First time visitors

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.

Schreckliches Bett und knallende Tür im Gang

Ich kann mich an kein Bett auf meinen vielen Reisen erinner, das schlechter war als das im Willow Court. Man hat jede Feder gespürt und es war hart wie ein Brett. Dazu kam noch, dass die Tür auf dem Gang jedesmal mit einem Knall geschlossen hat, wenn jemand durchging. Nach der Nacht im Willow Court war ich null erholt. Frühstück war gut. Personal war freundlich. Ich würde Willow Court nicht noch einmal buchen.

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.

L'unica cosa a favore è il low cost. Per il resto era un letto ad una piazza e mezza o meglio un materasso basso appoggiato su una asse di legno. Molto essenziale. Ci vuole una macchina x raggiungere il centro di Stirling. Abbiamo chiesto 2 asciugamani e non ce li hanno dati. Solo una saponettina era presente

Toch nog op een universiteit geslapen!

Hoewel op voorhand bekend en een bewuste keuzenisnde afstand tussen Stirling en de universiteit het enige minpunt. Toch was dit goed te doen met de bus of lopend. Kamer was prima, alles was aanwezig. Het eten beneden was ook prima en de service eveneens.

A notre arrivée, il a fallu attendre au total au moins 15 mn que nous ayons une chambre car ils n'avaient pas notre réservation (faite en novembre 2018 et déjà réglée), au final on a pu nous donner une chambre mais nous n'étions pas du tout prévu, sympathique comme arrivée... Le lit grince énormément, dès que l'on bouge un peu ça fait un boucan d'enfer ! Les murs sont très fins, nous entendions les gens parler comme s'ils hurlaient à nos oreilles (compagnon réveillé à 5 h et moi 6 h). Sinon c'est propre, bien sécurisé, le personnel est agréable et jeune, il y a une bouilloire avec du café et thé, une salle de bain fonctionnelle et des meubles pour ranger ses affaires pour des séjours plus longs qu'une nuit.

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.
