Stag and Coo Holidays - Stag Lodge

Families and groups of six will find Stag Lodge works well for a self-catering break in the Forth Valley. The entire property is yours alone, set on one level with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area that flows onto a decked veranda. Three bedrooms—a king, a double and two singles—each have a television, and there's a family bathroom with both bath and walk-in shower. A utility room with washing machine and tumble dryer means you can manage laundry easily. One dog stays free.

The standout feature is the private hot tub for six, positioned in an enclosed garden below the veranda. Underfloor heating and electricity are included, along with bed linen, towels and wifi. On-site parking fits three cars, and there's an electric car charging point. The lodge suits those who want to base themselves near Falkirk's attractions—Stirling Castle, the Kelpies sculptures and the Falkirk Wheel are all within reach—or simply soak in the hot tub without leaving home. No smoking indoors.
