Our family of 5 (2 adults 3 kids under 12) spent 3 nights here New Year 2012 whilst visiting friends in the village. Staff and locals really friendly. Family room was great, clean and big enough for the 5 of us. Will definitely be back.

We spent one night at this friendly establishment. We were made to feel welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The hotel has a very friendly bar and a small restaurant. The room was typical pub style with ensuite but very comfortable with very little noise from downstairs. The night we stayed a function was being held but the... More

The chef sources his ingredients from the best quality available. i.e. Fresh haddock from Aberdeen, Stornaway black pudding etc. I had the beef and ale pie. What a treat. Deliciously tasty in a...

Although bar and dining room were small, the hospitality was big! Bar being refurbished and redecorated. Food - variety and portion sizes were excellent. Breakfast was freshly cooked to order. Windows may not have curtains - so be aware of moonlight. Take a eye mask if you need complete darkness to sleep. You will need your soap and toiletries as... More

We were in this part of Scotland last week and were looking for a late lunch, around 2pm. We had been looking for a while in the area and came across this pub. From the outside we thought it looked a little basic and the bar area was also a bit bare, but food was being served so we wen't... More

We used the Red Lion as a stop over when depositing our daughter at Stirling Uni and it was worth staying just 15 mins away for a more reasonable price. We found the £65 price for bed & breakfast to be very good value. We had a lovely room with a four poster bed which was clean and had plenty... More
