Iain and Ellen Johnson
loved our stay, it was so peacefull. Beds and pillows really comfortable and we had a great nights sleep. Thank you to our hosts for the welcome packs. Central location for Alloa & Dollar and easy drives to Stirling and Perth etc. The farm setting was great and waking up to the horses (especially Magic) in the field was lovely. The field was also a great place to walk the dog. All in all would highly recommend and will be back

Lynn and Steve are lovely people very pleasant and knowledgeable of the area. Great tips for going to Edinburgh on tram from the airport rather than driving in. Lovely area very peaceful and lovely too see the horses and all the rabbits playing just outside the lodge.

This was our third stay at Meeks Park. We'd previously stayed in the neighbouring lodge but this time we had the Orchard - very similar but a slightly different layout inside. Once again we really enjoyed our stay. The lodge is very comfortable and well equipped and was well prepared for our arrival. There is a big range of things to see and do in the surrounding area, especially if you like walking and/or history but equally Meeks Park is a quiet retreat where you can enjoy the lovely views and watching the owners' horses in the paddocks. The owners make you feel very welcome and are very informative about the local area.
