About this property
Perched on the outskirts of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, lies this fabulous holiday property, Shieldhill Farm House. Perfect for families or large groups, this charming home boasts a plethora of on-site amenities, tasteful decor, as well as ample positioning to the bustling cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. Inside, you will find all the facilities you need for fully self-catered stay, including a well-presented kitchen, where tasty dishes can be whipped up to be enjoyed around the dining table or even in one of the sitting rooms, each complete with TV and woodburning stoves that take centre stage. As the evenings grow darker, why not indulge in the relaxing outdoor hot tub, before retreating to one of five plush bedrooms, two of which come with accompanying en-suite shower rooms that await to help you wash away the day as you prepare for a new one. If you fancy exploring your surroundings, take a short car trip into Falkirk, where you can grab a fresh loaf from Marshalls Family Bakery, visit the tourist hotspot of The Falkirk Wheel, or even roam the tranquil grounds of Callendar Park and House or enjoy their cycle trails. The Milk Barn ice cream parlour is just 0.5 miles away. Just north of Falkirk, you will find Stenhousemuir, home to the Glenbervie Golf Course, the Bee Statue, or if you and your loved ones are up for something competitive, an afternoon out at Xtreme Karting might just be in order. If you want to make a day of it, Glasgow is slightly further afield, a city offering visitors the chance to spend time to soak up nature at The Hidden Gardens, brush up on their scientific knowledge at the Glasgow Science Centre, or even play a few games at the Hollywood Bowl bowling alley. All of this and more awaits during a stay at Shieldhill Farm House.
Between the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, in Scotland's Central Lowlands, sits the lively town of Falkirk. In addition to hosting famous tourist destinations like The Kelpies, The Falkirk Wheel, and the Rosebank Distillery, the town is best known for hosting a number of historical battles, including the Battle of Falkirk and the Battle of Falkirk Muir, in which Scottish hero William Wallace was killed in the former. The Croft & Creel and Café Corvina are two places to eat, and Morrisons and the M&S Food Hall are both great places to stock up on necessities. A short journey from the town will take you to Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, which is known for its historic sites like Edinburgh Castle and the National Monument of Scotland as well as its vibrant neighbourhoods of New Town and the Royal Mile.

Excellent for group, family breaks. Owner is very welcoming and hands on for your stay. Grounds are lovely, peaceful and enough areas for sitting with a book or playing with your kids or dogs. Definitely recommend

All the rooms are cosily furnished. Particularly noteworthy is the amount of seating. Really a lot of space. The pool table and table football as well as the hot tub and fireplace made our stay very special and we will definitely be back. The welcome pack with the voucher for the ice cream parlour was also a great idea, which we visited by car due to the weather. All in all we had a great time. Thank you so much.

Very large property so plenty of space to relax. The kids loved the pool table and the football game. The hot tub is a real bonus, and also liked the log fire for cosy evenings, although it consumes logs at an alarming rate.
