THE FARMHOUSE
AT SOLSGIRTH HOME FARM
Sleeps up to 8 adults and 2 children
Four bedrooms
The Farmhouse at Solsgirth Home Farm is a lovely converted farmhouse sleeping up to eight adults and two children. There is plenty of room for families or groups to spread out indoors and out, and your complementary Farm Tour around the working farm will give you an introduction to our rhea, emu and llama, traditional pigs, cattle and sheep breeds. A short drive away are fantastic walks in the hills or along the coast, with several Scottish cities within one hour’s drive.
The original farmhouse for Solsgirth Home Farm is the ideal place for family getaways, sleeping up to ten people across four bedrooms. Large groups can spread into their own spaces, and all gather around the dining table for meals.
Downstairs is a large open plan kitchen, with dining and lounge areas, and a separate snug/TV lounge. There is a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer, plus a cloakroom with WC.
There are two bedrooms and a shower room on each of the first and second floors. The master bedroom is on the first floor, with a super king-size bed (can be split into twin beds), and bedroom 2 has a double bed plus a single/day bed. On the second floor, bedroom 3 has super king-size bed (can be split into twin beds), and bedroom 4 has a double bed plus a single/day bed. Both shower rooms are spacious, with WC, sink and large walk-in rain shower.
The family area extends outside with an enclosed terrace, BBQ area, hot tub and garden furniture, and a well-established garden. PLEASE NOTE: Our outside area is currently undergoing an upgrade. This includes the areas around the hotub. This does not affect the use of the hotub.

Choose from our large Farmhouse, the cosy Farm Cottage or Butler’s Flat, the elegant Dower House and the historic Coachman’s Lodge. Mix and match properties for larger groups to enjoy time away together.
The local area has some beautiful walking routes, including Dollar Glen, within a few minutes of Solsgirth Home Farm, with the Lomond Hills in Fife around 40 minutes drive away. You can access coastal walking along the Firth of Forth within 20 minutes, and take in sections of the 185km long Fife Coastal Path, passing the historic village of Culross and quaint fishing villages in what is known as the East Neuk.
We are surrounded by history, with the strategic positioning of Stirling and the River Forth has led to historic battles being fought on our doorstep. In every direction you will find castles and palaces, stately homes and their beautiful gardens, owned by Historic Scotland, the National Trust for Scotland and some privately owned but open to visitors.
The central part of Scotland includes many family visitor attractions, including the RSPB reserve at Loch Leven and Blair Drummond Safari Park. Recent developments alongside the Forth and Clyde Canal include The Helix ecopark, with the majestic Kelpies, the world's largest equine sculptures at the centre. Further long the canal is The Falkirk Wheel, the world’s first and only rotating boat lift – walk alongside it, journey through by boat or try out one of a range of watersports and activities available.
Golf fans will find themselves only 30 minutes from the world-famous Gleneagles, and an hour from the renowned St Andrews Old Course, with many others in between where you can arrange a game. And whisky lovers can discover Scotland’s national drink for themselves with many distilleries open to visit for tours and tastings.
Solsgirth Home Farm is located just outside the village of Dollar, and we are perfectly located for visiting several Scottish cities, with Stirling only 30 minutes away, and the cities of Perth, Glasgow, Dundee and Edinburgh all within one hour’s drive.
Our local city, Stirling, has plenty to visit, including its Castle and the Wallace Monument, which both offer amazing views of the surrounding area. Another small local city is Perth which blends combines its ancient roots and historical past with independent shopping and lovely river and park walks.
The UK’s only UNESCO City of Design, Dundee is home to V&A Dundee, RSS Discovery, McManus Galleries, and the Beano characters of Dennis the Menace and Desperate Dan.
For bigger cities visits, choose between Glasgow’s striking architecture, contemporary art spaces and fascinating museums (many of which are free), or the festival city of Edinburgh with its medieval Old Town, Royal Mile and Castle, as well as the Scottish Parliament and Dynamic Earth visitor attraction.
