The Clacks Rustic Abode, Tillicoultry

Guests will be able to leave their car behind and walk to Tillicoultry to the cafés, pubs, eating places and shops, or out into the countryside. For some retail therapy, and only a 10-minute walk, the shopping outlet centre, Sterling Mills, has a large selection of stores.

This is a great spot for guests who enjoy walking and cycling with established walks and cycle paths that lead through the village, alongside the River Devon and out into the rolling countryside and hills. For more strenuous walks, the Ochil Hills make a good challenging hill walk with super views and peaks over 2000 feet, including Kings Seat, Dumyat and Ben Cleuch.

There is a regular bus service to the surrounding villages and Stirling city centre. For days out, Stirling is well worth a visit, and is rich in history with historic monuments including Stirling Castle, Wallace Monument and The Bannockburn Centre. For those wanting to travel a little further afield, the Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park, Falkirk Wheel and the 30 metre high ’Kelpies’ horse sculptures can all be reached within an hour’s drive. The vibrant city of Edinburgh can also be easily reached from here. Beach 26 miles. Shop and takeaway 200 yards, farm cafe 400 yards and restaurant 500 yards. Important to mention that near Dollar there is a new attraction called the Japanese garden a must for all.
