Higginsneuk - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Higginsneuk is a modern detached house offering ideal family sized holiday accommodation. Set on the edges of the River Forth with views to the nearby Clackmannan Bridge and Ochil Hills and also with easy access to the main road network, Higginsneuk is an ideal base for touring the Scottish heartlands. It was recently discovered through an archaeological dig, that the area, now known as Higginsneuk, dates back to the 1500s and was once the Royal dock for King James IV of Scotland.

With ample living space in the large lounge, you can sit back and relax and watch the latest movie on the Smart TV or wander over to the window to look out over the ever changing vista of the Ochil Hills. Patio doors lead from the Lounge out to the extensive garden complete with Patio furniture and, with a BBQ provided, you can make the most of your time relaxing with family and friends of an evening.

The fully fitted kitchen with induction hob, oven, microwave, fridge freezer and dishwasher makes cooking and entertaining an easy task after a hard day's sightseeing. A generously sized kitchen table is located in front of the kitchen window and the separate Utility room houses a washing machine and additional sink. There is also the added convenience of a downstairs WC.

On the upper level, with the stairs accessed from the lounge, are the 2 bedrooms: Bedroom 1 has a King size bed and looks out towards the Ochil Hills. With ample space in the fitted wardrobes and with comfy seating this room is a wonderful space to escape to. Bedroom 2 has 2 full-size single beds, a chest of drawers and hanging space for clothes These bedrooms share the use of the bright, modern family bathroom with a large shower cubicle, WC, sink and a large bath with handheld shower.

With ample parking provided and space for storing golf clubs and outdoor gear, you will be hard pushed to find a better property for enjoying the Scottish outdoors and surrounding area.

IMMACULATE
The home is spotless and brand new. They had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including the little things in the kitchen like salt, pepper, foil and clear wrap, utensils etc....... It even has a separate wash kitchen room! This is a highly recommended home for comfort while you explore the region.

Utter luxury
Where do I start?! The luxury of this house unbelievable. There has been no expense spared when it comes to quality. The comfiest beds I’ve ever slept in. The owners property is next to the house but literally never saw them, but when I needed the answer to a question Julie was there immediately with a response. We loved that it’s between Falkirk and Stirling as wanted to visit sites in both. It’s very near a busy road but we hardly heard any cars at all. We felt miserable going back to our own house and would love to visit again. If you want utter relaxation and comfort this house is a must.

High quality property with excellent customer service
Higginsneuk is a charming property that has considered almost all visitor needs. The overall standard of the property is excellent, very clean and well maintained with comfortable beds and spacious layout. Currently temperamental internet service was in the process of being addressed during our stay, with a very swift and pleasant response from the property owner when we had difficulties getting internet service. The garden including play equipment provided was much appreciated by young family members. The location is somewhat isolated so a car is essential but a 10-15 minute drive provides access to everything you will need including shopping and tourist attractions. Aside from the internet the only recommendation for improvement for us would be the availability of a tumble drier or washer/drier, to help manage the notorious Scottish weather for those booking longer stays. Noting the large lounge area the property would also benefit from an extra sofa, however as it is only a 2 bedroom property this is not a necessity. I would also like to acknowledge the excellent service from Stirling Self Catering who manage bookings. This is the third time we have used their services in different properties and their team are excellent without exception. We would Highly recommend both the property and Stirling for those considering a booking.

Perfect family stay
We spent one week in this very nice cottage. It is very conveniently positioned between Edinburgh and Glascow. Very easy to be reached by car. The house itself is super clean and well equipped with everything might be needed. We only had a tiny problem with a door, and Julie and her husband immediately came over and fixed it. Highly recommended for a family stay and as a base to visit the beautiful surroundings.
