About Wyvis

Wyvis is situated in the town of Tillicoultry in Scotland’s smallest county, Clackmannanshire, and offers excellent accommodation and traditional Scottish food. The WEE COUNTY, as Clackmannanshire is affectionately known, is within easy reach of the cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow and their respective airports, as well as Scotland's newest city of Stirling, which makes it an ideal destination for touring the beautiful scenic and interesting Central Belt of Scotland, which has many places of interest to visit.

Wyvis, originally 3 dwellings, is a converted mill workers cottage and dates back to around 1845. The various families who occupied the house all worked in the thriving local woolen mills. The house was converted into a single dwelling around the mid 1940’s.

Wyvis is located in a pleasant location within the old part of the small town of Tillicoultry, which nestles beneath the Ochil Hills. There are lovely views, from the front of the house, of the hills that are spectacular in both summer and winter.

Wyvis offers quality Four Star Bed & Breakfast accommodation for a maximum of four guests. There are two rooms available, either Kingseat, a double room with full en-suite bathroom or Ben Cleuch, a twin room with full private bathroom.

There is also a comfortable lounge with a good selection of books and board games, as well as a TV with DVD player, for the exclusive use of guests.

For guests comfort and convenience we are a totally non smoking house. Sorry we cannot accept pets in to the house.
