Have been in here lots of times since moving to the area. Great coffee and food- lots of vegetarian and vegan options â¤ï¸. Cinnamon swirl, sweet potato kale hash and mojitos are a few favourites. Lovely staff and great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

We visited the cafe on the 20th July 2019. We ordered the balsamic steak sandwich for three people. The steak sandwich was unedible as the thinly cut steak was extremely tough and over done. My Mum and Dad diidn't eat the steak sandwich because of the nature of the steak. We complained to the waitress and asked her to pass my Mum's comments onto the chef about the sandwiches. When my parents went to pay the cost of the steak sandwiches was not waived nor did a manager come over to apologise to my parents or rectify the situation. A dissapointing experience paricularly as we have had good lunches in the past. The staff were extremely busy on Saturday, however, this should not deter from good personal care from the manager on duty at the time, particularly as the lunch was not up to standard.

Dropped in on the way through the town. As usual the service and food quality was excellent. The medium haddock and chips is a great joice although there are plenty of other really nice items on the menu.Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

My mother and I were taken out to lunch here by friends, our first visit to this restaurant and it is difficult to fault in any area. There was disabled parking right beside the front door and staff immediately appeared at the door to help us in and provide guidance. We were accompanied by two elderly disable folk, one severely, but none of us had trouble manoeuvering through to the restaurant and settling at a table. Throughout the day the service was friendly, but incredibly efficient, with lovely touches of flair like being presented with a choice of orange or lime with our water.The restaurant is run by Albert Roux and so I tried 2 of his signature dishes. The floating Swiss cheese souffle was possible the best starter I've ever eaten and the lemon tart was subtly flavoured and also delicious. My roe deer loin with side bits and pieces was delicious, but the smallest of the main dishes ordered, so I was pleased to help my mother with her Yorkshire pudding and potatos. The roast beef was deemed to be a little chewy by all 3 who ordered it due to it being rare. Although I appreciate that this is intended by the chef, it would have been nice to have been offered medium or well done.The little touches made this a spectacular experience, the amuse bouche, home made fancies with the coffee, the ability to move through to the lounge for coffee, starched serviettes, etc.At £42 for a 3 course table d'hote menu, this represented good value for money given that an occasion like this should be regarded as more than a lunch, but an experience.

We enjoyed our full Scottish breakfast and Coronation jacket potato with a pot of tea for under £20.The service was friendly, personal and warm. We left physically and spiritually nourished as we met a lovely couple whom we connected like old friends and shared our faith experiences of Jesus'love for us.

A large group of friends were accommodated at short notice. Charming little bar with large restaurant tastefully designed. Staff excellent. Extensive menu and I would recommend the specials but they also do standard gastropub food. Wine and local beers were excellent. Good value too. Quality of food was excellent. Great ambiance in keeping with Dunblane.

Had a lovely meal, great service. Booked a table for 7.30pm as reservations were recommended. Restaurant was quite busy for mid week. We had the sharing bread dish to start, both had the steak, side salad, both had the orange cheesecake. Food was well presented and delicious. We will certainly be back as I want to try the carrot cake next time! And the chips were out of this world!

Bed linen was beautifully clean and crisp. Beautiful old property which has been refurbished. Located about 3 miles from Stirling so a car is really essential. Lots of free parking on site.Full Scottish breakfast of a high standard was included in the price.Staff were very friendly and helpful.Unlike a number of old properties we have stayed in it was kept warm at all times.There were a few cobwebs which housekeeping need to attend to but nothing to concern us.Overall impressed and we will visit again.
