Munro Guest House

It was rainy, raw, and cold with a bit of snow on the ground when we arrived a day late (because of a missed plane connection) to Richard Munro's Guest House. Immediately the warmth of his welcome and general good humor began to set us aright. A comfortable room with ensuite shower and a king bed took it a step further. Richard oriented us to the neighborhood--convenient to pubs, restaurants, shopping, points of interest, and the train station--and loaned us a golf umbrella to begin exploring. Upon our return, we discovered that Richard, who learned from his housekeeper that my wife Deb had twisted her knee just days before our trip, had dug through his "lost and found" to locate a knee brace left by a guest the year before, which he offered for Deb to use. She did and it helped immensely. We were the only two guests in the house (the season proper had not yet started) but he offered the full fare for breakfast. Everything from eggs, bacon, and beans to black pudding and haggis available for the full Scottish, with yoghurt, fruit, cereals, juices, toast, jams, and porridge to supplement. We had an early train to catch and Richard had everything ready on the dot. He went over and above by arranging a ride for us to the train station because of Deb's knee. He didn't want her to have to limp dragging a suitcase even that short distance. And he gifted Deb the knee brace, which has been a life-saver. Hospitality like that is a gift of grace and we are exceedingly grateful. Richard and Harley (his black Labrador) are easy-going and good-hearted. We would love to stay with them again and will recommend them to friends. We also will give extra thanks to our travel agent for sending us to Richard. Our only regret is losing our first day with them!

We have nothing but praise for Richard's hospitality. The room was very comfortable, the breakfast was amazing, and Richard went the extra mile to help out with issues related to my injured knee. Our only regret was that we were not in Stirling longer than the one night.

Excellent accomodations!! This was the cleanest place we've stayed on our 19 day trip through the UK. Richard is a wonderful host. He's very friendly, helpful, and provided a delicious made to order breakfast. The room was well stocked, very clean, had plenty of plug-ins with USB ports by the bed stand. The bed was comfortable with extra pillows depending on the softness you wanted. We chose the room with an attached room with a bunk bed for our adult son who was traveling with us. This gave us privacy while not having to get two rooms. I would say a pocket door instead of a curtain would have been nice, however. Thank you Richard, it was a wonderful stay.

Mr. Richard is a most wonderful host!!! I cannot even begin to explain each of the amazing things he did for my granny and I when we were staying at his lovely Bed & Breakfast! He is so thoughtful and intentional with the way he sets up the rooms, with any needs you might have during your stay there. He’s so friendly & literally reachable in minutes if things don’t go quite right in any aspect of your trip. I’ve never stayed at such a wonderful Bed & Breakfast, truly (and I travel quite a lot). If you need a place to stay in Stirling - LOOK NO FURTHER! Book it! Thank you again Mr. Richard for having us & taking such great care of us! I look forward to coming back (if you’ll have us, under better circumstances on our end hehe)!

Richard and his precious dog Holly warmly greeted us and provided a great stay. He was able to recommend some great restaurants that were very close. I wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely recommend!!

Location is fantastic. Host was very friendly and helpful and the included breakfast was delicious. House is charming, but the room was quite a bit smaller than any others we had during our trip...and the bed mattress was, unfortunately, very uncomfortable. I also wish the bathroom had been a bit better. The fan and light were connected, making it quite noisy if one has to use the bathroom at night. Were it not for the uncomfortable bed, we would very likely return!!

Stirling was our 1st stop at the beginning of our Scotland Tour. We stayed two nights at Munro Guest House and what a great start. Location was great, room was lovely, host Richard and Harley the dog were warm, welcoming and made our stay even better.

Perfect little stay with our 2 dogs. Richard is super welcoming, the place is very cute, very clean, very Scottish and a definite little gem. Breakfast was delicious and room facilities are fab and it’s perfectly placed to walk to the castle, old bridge and Wallace monument. If you don’t have a dog don’t worry as you’d never know dogs ever go there it’s so clean and fresh yet very dog friendly! Highly highly recommend!!!

A lovely guest house in the heart of Stirling and very dog (Freya) welcoming. Richard was a great host and gave us good tips on places to eat and drink in the town. A very comfortable room and delicious veggie breakfast, Don't miss out on a stay here, you won't regret it!
