The staff were amazing and made us feel very welcome!

We waited over an hour and a half for our meals despite the restaurant being half full.

The decor is simply stunning and the little pub vibe is so cozy! I did find the shower was a bit finicky. All in all, a lovely stay!

large room, beautiful decor, excellent equipment

The small town offers limited attractions. expect to travel to nearby ones like Drymen!!! while parking is usually available, it's frustrating that you have to rely on street parking in a quaint area!!!

Huge room and great view, but wi-fi was spotty during our stay.

The pasta was a delightful surprise, pulling on my heartstrings and taste buds! The staff were super friendly, making the place feel like home. Plus, the breakfast? An absolute must-have to fuel your day!

I had a bit of a bother with the hot shower situation. seems the boiler was acting up. a touch of mould on the skylight wasn’t too pretty.

The decor is gorgeous and the pub vibe is so cozy!

During my stay at the Black Bull, I truly appreciated the community spirit and the beautiful, comfortable room. The breakfast was a highlight, providing a great start to the day. the late check-in time was a slight inconvenience. a lovely experience.

The decor at Black Bull Gartmore is absolutely charming, making me feel cozy and right at home. I loved how senior accessibility seemed thoughtful, with easy navigation around the warm pub atmosphere and bright, inviting rooms.

A wider dinner selection would be appreciated.

A Hidden Gem with Exceptional Dining!

What a lovely escape for couples! The smart King Room was a delight, and dining in the cozy restaurant felt special. Don't miss the locally sourced dishes—especially the blackcurrant sorbet. For an adventure, consider exploring nearby villages for more scenic views!

Couples seeking good food should visit

We had a lovely meal, beyond what we expected, and the service was incredible. The staff, even the locals, treated us like family, couldn't do enough for us and that really made it special.

It wasn't exactly bargain basement but worth it in the end.

I really enjoyed staying at the Black Bull Gartmore. The king room exceeded my expectations in size and comfort. The bed was huge, making it easy to get a good night's sleep. The bathroom was another highlight, with a fantastic shower that was refreshing. I appreciated the friendly and helpful service throughout. Breakfast was enjoyable, offering good options to start the day. there were a few hiccups. Check-in was delayed until 4 pm, which felt a bit late. One staff member at the bar seemed to prioritize locals over me, and that didn’t leave the best impression. I also had issues with my breakfast arrangement after being told we had to eat in the restaurant, while others were allowed in the bar at different times. The towels provided were smaller than ideal. larger bath sheets would have been better. For my husband’s birthday, I requested a bottle of Prosecco in our room as a surprise, but it never arrived. Despite these setbacks, I found the overall experience to be quite enjoyable, especially the food, which was tasty and cooked well, especially the steak and ale pie. I definitely recommend this place for its charm and good food, but they could improve on communication and customer service.

ideal spot for exploring parks and landmarks on foot

During my stay, I loved how clean my room was and the bed was super comfortable, making it a great place to unwind after strolling around nearby attractions like the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Forest Park, which is just a short walk away, and the serene Loch Ard just a bit further out. it was a single traveler's dream to have such lovely spots within reach.

A well-suited match for a couple of nights in Stirling with best value. Staff were amazing and the food was great. Opt for a table in the bar for a more relaxed atmosphere.

A Hidden Gem with Stellar Hospitality!

Our one-night stay exceeded all expectations! The staff greeted us with warm smiles and offered great local dinner suggestions. The charming decor added a cozy atmosphere, and the room was immaculate. For future visits, confirm dining hours in advance, especially if you're visiting on a Monday!
