Lismore House B and B

We stayed at Lismore House near Maddiston, Falkirk for two nights 11/12 Aug 2019. On arrival we received a very warm welcome from Jacqui who took the time to show us our beautiful room and around all the facilities available to us. She knew that we had been in Edinburgh for the Tattoo and asked if we had enjoyed it. We said yes, it was amazing, and when we laughingly explained that we got soaked to the skin the previous evening, she immediately took our bag of wet clothes and laundered them for us. We were extremely grateful as we had a few more days of our holiday and didn’t know what state the clothes would be in when we got home. Anyway, I digress. The bed & breakfast accommodation is purpose built next to the farmhouse and has everything you could possibly need for a great stay. It was lovely looking out of the windows to see fields of sheep, (Highland ?) cattle and Jacqui’s horse. Our room was large with a big comfy bed, quality bedding, two armchairs set around a small table in an alcove as well as further drawers & chair, a dresser with a nice big tele on it, bedside cabinets with side lamps and a large built-in wardrobe. There was plenty of tea, coffee etc and real milk and much appreciated home-made cake and biscuits. There were black-out blinds at the windows which meant that hubby managed a bit of a lie-in as he wasn’t woken by the first rays of sunlight. The en-suite had a large walk-in cubicle with a powerful shower and lots of hot water. Big white towels were provided together with an assortment of toiletries. After we had been out exploring during the day, each evening we brought a bottle of wine back and sat in the guest’s lounge on a huge leather sofa watching television. There is a fridge in the lounge and a good choice of glasses if you do fancy a drink. Breakfast is provided in a lovely area next to a large kitchen. There were lots of cereals to choose from together with fresh fruit salad, yogurt, fruit juices and a pot of freshly brewed tea or cafetiere of coffee. Jacqui’s breakfast truly sets you up for the day and it’s beautifully cooked. There was too much for me, so hubby picked up some extra. If you had room, there was brown or white toast with marmalade & jam to finish off. All in all, great accommodation, exceptional value for money and a truly lovely hostess. Close to the attractions of Falkirk including the Falkirk Wheel and The Kelpies this is an awesome place to stay and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to everyone who loves personal attention instead of the usual chain hotels.
