We had the pleasure of dining at this lovely, recently renovated, restaurant. I went into the experience expecting relatively typical pub food (which I would have been perfectly happy with:), but was thrilled to find that this restaurant has an elevated menu—-while there is a nod to “pub food” the combination of ingredients and quality of the food bring comfort food to a new level.
We dined outside on the patio (they have generous umbrellas in case there is a bit of rain!). The restaurant’s interior was beautifully renovated-you still feel the history, but the updates create a light, organic, cozy atmosphere (with some fun wallpaper thrown in here and there).
One of the best parts of our experience was the staff. We felt immediately welcomed, and our requests were all happily accommodated. Our waiter, Struan, was all around fantastic (and so sweet to our kids!). Such a great group of people!
This business clearly takes a lot of pride in what they do!
A great wheelchair accessible stop for lunch. Accessible parking bays right at the door, button to press that opens the door. A couple of different table styles to choose from (staff were great and offered a choice when we arrived). Lovely accessible toilet.
Food wise, we were asked right away about allergies, and if we'd need the vegan or gluten free menus. A reasonable selection of vegan options.
Service was friendly and attentive, but not fussy.
Absolute gem. Stayed overnight for work and so glad I booked here. The hospitality was great from the first interaction right through till I checked out.
The room was decorated to a very high standard and was meticulously clean.
The cherry on the cake to my stay was the food, which was amazing, I genuinely wasn't hungry when I arrived (quite late) and the food tasted amazing, the chefs they employ here are top notch.
Value for money? Absolutely, the rate for the room was less than alternatives (hotel chains) and the food/drinks were very reasonable.
I was so impressed with my stay that I've offered to take my wife there for a weekend retreat in the near future
I stopped off here to eat and was in time for Sunday Roast.
The Meal
Absolutely 10/10 for the meal, never have I tasted such tender beef and just the right amount of fat, it was perfect.
Staff
I was greeted by a lovely young lady and they were all very pleasant but the lady seated me and offered me water (now I am not complaining as I didn’t want any alcohol) but then a gentleman came and asked me if I needed anything and I said I was fine then he asked if I have ordered and I told him I told the first lady that I wanted the roast and next my meal arrived.
Now I would have got the lady to seat the guest then tell them the beverage waiter will be with them soon then he can take the beverage order plus the food and you will make more money and have happy guest!!
P.S. everything was fantastic and I will visit again just constructive criticism!!
Have visited this lovely hotel twice for lunch. On both occasions was very impressed by the professional and friendly service from Richard and each of his team . The place has a lovely warm,relaxed vibe.
Tempting menu and the homemade truffle
Mayonnaise offered to accompany our Chargrilled Hummus salad bowl was delicious.
Can highly recommend.

Only went in for afternoon tea, but it's so good.
Super dog friendly, gorgeous scones and sandwiches that are a meal in themselves. Well worth a visit.
What a beautiful find! Staff were so welcoming from the second we walked in and there was a good choices of drinks. Inside was cosy and dog friendly. The food was really nice, great choice and brilliant quality, it wasn't the cheapest place but was more than worth it. The views to the river outside were also lovely, would highly recommend a visit
Attended the restaurant as part of a large group. The staff were so friendly and helpful. All the food was very good and service excellent. We didn't feel rushed at all and enjoyed our visit
Fabulous gem in Stirling countryside! Top marks for the warmth, hospitality and comfortable rooms of this establishment, not to mention an excellent breakfast! Love the refurbishment, stylish without being overdone, and excellent value for money. We'll be back!
Everything was spot on in the room, including the revamped bathroom. The breakfast was top notch and included haggis, which I love. The green tea was loose leaf, which is a real sign of quality in a hotel.
