Cruachan Farm Restaurant in Perth & Kinross

Loved the wee hob hut and glad we opted for this rather than camping in October. There were a couple of misunderstandings re booking regarding number of dogs/additional cost but the site was very accommodating which was appreciated. The warden we met on site was super friendly as was his wife in the cafe and the person we spoke to on the phone confirming our booking the day before. Great bacon rolls and coffee served with a smile and a chat at the Cruachan cafe. The showers and toilets were cleaned regularly and the accomodation was clean and had everything needed for a brief stay. The showers were a bit dated and really not big enough to be able to get undressed/dressed and keep everything dry and off the floor or condensated walls. Shower nice and hot though. Bigger space with a seat would be great 😀. Maybe also a couple of hanging hooks in the hob? We were a bit lost where to put wet coats.

Very nice big campsite, very dog-friendly, would definitely go again. Particularly nice to be able to access the facilities of the neighbouring Loch Tay Highland Lodges, but it would be good to have a better-quality path or road linking the two (the existing one is just a track and muddy in the wet). A bit odd to see COVID signs up still - confusing to have a one-way system and a numbers limit in the loos, until we remembered COVID! - made us wonder a bit about the maintenance. All in all, we liked it!

We arrived on a Tuesday and everything was shut. Had a small touring caravan, facilities quite poor. It was all muddy. We had to drive 3 miles into Killin to look for food. We’re supposed to stay 3 nights but we left after 2. Had a dog but up to the eyes in mud walking him. The scenery was beautiful but disappointed The Boathouse restaurant and farm cafe were both closed. Just had to drink and eat in our small caravan!

Campsite seemed to be a bit disorganised… the boathouse bar was ok when it was open!! But no crisps or nuts very basic. We were on the campsite which had a shower block by the tent field, it had two showers which were lovely & warm but grubby. A bucket of water was there to be used to wipe the floor after a shower, it was filthy, the floor was cleaner without using it. Toilets weren’t great either.. sanitary products on the floor, which were there for a day & a half before moved & cleaned. To be honest I was a little underwhelmed by the place.

Last stop on our nc500 Road trip before home lovely little site toilets and showers clean plenty of hot water only there one night and weather was bad

Stayed in a pod. Well equipped. Annoying that the mattress is much longer than standard so our fitted sheet did not fit: my view is they should therefore provide under sheets. Lovely location but toilets grubby.

A very nice atmosphere, right by the side of the loch. The staff were helpful and friendly. They also offer a doggie menu, which was excellent value.

When the site said bring everything you would if you were camping except a tent, I did! Turns out I really didn’t need to at all! Almost everything is here with the exception of bedding. Microwave, fridge, kettle, toaster. Lamp, light and Tv! I stayed in a hob pod for two. It was super clean and smelled lovely when I arrived. Couldn’t fault anything at all. Having no toilet or shower is hard work. But I coped. Toilet block was fine, served it’s purpose. Surrounding area is beautiful, the site is on the loch, with a National park opposite the road you arrive on. Killin village is very pretty. Nothing much there at all. Most shops seem to have closed or are closing, but guess that the economic climate. Would definitely come here again.

I can’t comment on the restaurant but the campsite allows groups of drunk young people to play loud music in to the night much to the annoyance of other campers who vented towards them. Earlier in the evening the warden could’ve stopped this by having a word but he turned a blind eye and there was no sign of a night warden. Night ruined!!!

Really good food and service. The Cullen skink was excellent and served boiling hot with lovely bread. The fish and chips were crispy and delicious as was the hunters chicken. Highly recommend this restaurant

We had a fantastic evening meal and throughly enjoyed ourselves great service, top quality home cooking good selection of wine and beer its was good value for money

Excellent service and good value for money. Great menu enjoyed by all the family. Beautiful location.

Spend the week here unfortuntley the weather wasnt great so had to eat out a few times at the restaurant lol. food was lovely staff great and if you need some device about whisky speak to Maureen. wee Gem of a place x x

Rispetto agli altri posti turistici che abbiamo visto in zona, questo si è rivelato migliore ed il più economico.Proprietaria super simpatica e gentile. Da provare!

We have not been camping for more than 10 years when we had a large family tent with all mod cons. Now keen hillwalkers we decided that camping was the best way to find accommodation for our walks. Cruachan campsite was a great place for the weekend. We had a lovely large flat pitch with electric hookup. The site although we were told was fully booked did not feel crowded and the ground were immaculate. The staff appear to make regular patrols around the site with is reassuring. The toilet facilities were perfectly adequate although maybe a bit of a spruce up an deep clean wouldn’t go amiss. We ate at the restaurant on both nights are were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the food and very reasonable prices. The staff were very welcoming and made us feel very much at home. We will definitely be making a return visit. Only issue we had was making contact with the park in the first place to make my booking. I made numerous attempts to call and sent an email with my request which is still unanswered but on the whole it was great

This is a good restaurant. Verry friendly staff. Delicious dishes for a nice price. We will definitely be back.

Great wee campsite lot of choice for pitches we have been here a few times camping and we once hired a static. ...restaurant well deserves a five star rating. The one thing that my self and wife have noticed is that the shower and toilet facilities in the camping area the wooden building are in need of a wee upgrade. Although water is always hot. The floors and shower curtains are A WEE BIT TIRED. Also the mop and bucket for cleaning the floors after you have had a shower are dirty.! A GOOD DEEP CLEANING/upgrade would make the site five stars Pease don't get me wrong I love this place but a better cleaning regime In the shower and toilet block would make it outstanding.

Just returned from this restaurant, lovely surroundings, busy but not overly crowded and the food was absolutely lovely, tasty and large portions! Price very reasonable , even with a bottle of wine. We have camped here before but never eaten here until tonight. Very friendly and attentive server. Highly recommended and we would return a lot more often when we intend to stay hopefully next year!

We visited here for dinner on the first evening of our holiday and the quaint charm of the restaurant was lovely. We both had burgers, whilst our kids had sausages and stew. Both children throughly enjoyed the homely fare. Our burgers were a little pink for our liking but the chips were fantastic.

We stayed a weekend in our tent at the Cruachan Farm Caravan Site.... facilities are lovely, clean and well looked after and a bonus was the on site restaurant which had a lovely menu, including a vegan option which was very tasty, fantastic deserts, a great selection of drinks and Malta and very helpful friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Loved it

We were travelling back from the Highlands camping and wanted to stop off somewhere on our way back home and saw Cruachan Farm and we weren't disappointed! It was so neat looking and the lovely lady in the farm house reception was so lovely and helpful and showed us where to pitch our tent. The restaurant was fantastic and the staff couldn't enough (better than some fancy restaurants 😏) We will definitely be back😀

Stayed here for one night as we were hillwalking early next morning. Nice site, clean and tidy, good toilet and washing facilities, Went for an evening meal in the restaurant, nice homely feel,very friendly and welcoming staff. Food was cooked to order, very good and reasonably priced. have put it on my list of places to stop off and eat if we're in the area again.

Estado aquí unas cuantas veces. Nos alojamos en una caravana y últimamente en una de sus nuevas octolodges, el Lodge tiene todo lo que usted necesita para una noche de estancia cómoda.

Estuvimos poco tiempo con mi bicicleta campamento en la colina de los inodoros y ducha. Tenía un tiempo. Nadie tocando música alta. Aparte de sordos de perros pastores. Es silencio. volveremos. Sin duda. Nancy y hamish son muy amables. Así es el encargado y su esposa. Espero que haya disfrutado de la sidra. Muy limpio y agradable.

Very good service and only a short walk from our tent on the campsite which is run by an very friendly manager and his dog! Good site for camping.

Mientras camping en el camping con mi esposa (Lunes 8 de mayo) fuimos para el té en el restaurante, la razón por la que fuimos fue inaugurado de nuevo hasta el nunca jueves, que fue el día que nos desplazan así Recuerde comprobar horarios de apertura. Precioso hotel con un personal amable y servicial. Ambos tuvimos salmón frito en mantequilla de limón y hierbas tanto aclaro los platos. El único inconveniente es el horario tan siempre de antemano.

He visitado el restaurante muchas veces y soy un gran admirador. Probar alguna de las comidas que ofrecen todas son preciosas. Yo no podría quejarme, servicio de primera clase y en caso de que haya algún inconveniente se hará una disculpa y una razón. Todo bien hecho Cruachan Farm.

Un final precioso para nuestro viaje en furgoneta de Escocia. El servicio es relajado e informal. La comida excelente y cocinados a la orden.

Ate here in a large group and it was great! Nice staff and good food at a reasonable price. Great to have a restaurant on a campsite that saves you having to drive into town.

Recientemente nos alojamos en el camping en un fin gloriosamente soleado. Precioso lugar tranquilo en una ubicación hermosa. A pocos minutos a pie a través del bosque a la orilla de Loch Tay. Ideal si tienes a tus perros con usted. Tuvimos nuestra cena en el restaurante en el lugar. Situado a la entrada del camping en un edificio tipo de madera que tiene una gran variedad de comida a precios razonables. También una buena variedad de licores y algunas cervezas extraño y maravilloso, que vale la pena intentarlo, aunque sólo sea para probar algo diferente para un cambio. Atención amable del personal en un ambiente relajado. La comida es abundante y bien preparada. Merece la pena probarlo.

Very simple, good food. All of the classics and kids menu as well. The camp-site itself is great, we stayed in a campervan and friends stayed in the Octolodges. Lots of good walks, Loch Tay an easy walk away through the woods and kids playground next to a stream. Toilet block and showers very clean and hot. Good choice of pitches and would highly recommend.

Great site, great location, spotless and the Octolodge is amazing. Direct access to the Loch. Everything you need. Can't wait till it re opens for the season next year! Will be taking the family along.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The lady was very kind, the site was spotless with fantastic views and perfect for us walking the next day. Our dog was able to stay too which added to this visit.The octolodge we stayed in was idyllic, practical, spotless clean and very comfortable. Can't wait to stay again. Next time would really like to try the restaurant, it looked very cosy and romantic on a night time.

We camped overnight at Crauchan Farm and also reserved a table at their restaurant. Really impressed by the site, lovely location on the edge of LochTay and very well laid out for campers in both tents and caravans. Also one of the best priced sites in the area but without the compromises, shower/toilet block was clean and for an additional charge there was also electric hook up.Highly recommend the restaurant, perhaps a little unconvincing from the outside (a wooden cabin) but we weren't disappointed-the staff (it's family run) were incredibly friendly and helpful and the menu was extensive, especially for a small restaurant. Restaurant quality food at pub prices and the atmosphere within was lovely too. Also surprised to see such a range of beers and whiskeys-definitely something to make the most of! Overall cannot fault either the campsite or most particularly the restaurant, we spend a wonderful evening here and were treated to brilliant Scottish produce cooked to perfection - without doubt a hidden gem :)

A great place to eat especially if you are staying on the campsite as you don't have far to walk once you've filled up on the homemade cake which is absolutely brilliant. The staff are very friendly and helpful and will accommodate any dietary needs.

Stayed on the campsite and had breakfast in the Restaurant one morning, due to bad weather.We both had a full scottish breakfast, really lovely, cooked well and good quality produce.Not the cheapest it but worth it. Evening meals looked lovely when we past in the evening.

The Cruachan staff are friendly and efficient when dealing with individuals or in our case when catering for a large party (20 people). I would thoroughly recommend visiting this establishment if you are in the area.

Arrived on a wet and very windy evening to camp, 6 bikers. ?..£7.50 to pitch and an additional £7.50 for a pod... No brainer, pods it was. Made very welcome, very basic shower block, pods excellent value for money. We all ate at the top restaurant and have to say the food was excellent for what is basically a small bungalow looking hut. Staff couldn't v have been more helpful n and accommodating for our grumpy nedds after 11 hrs getting b up there in the wind. Views brilliant, snow still on mountain tops, loch taye Wi th the scotch mist hanging over the water. Stunning. Really good value for money. Visit the the falls of drochart in Killin.... beautiful.

This site is perfect, nice and peaceful, clean and tidy and the people are great. We stayed in one of the Octolodges which was fabulous but we will also go in our tent. The restaurant is also brilliant food is fantastic. We will be returning.

Well I can honestly say this little gem of a restaurant is well worth a trip out to.the Staff are so so friendly and the chef well WOW the food is gorgeous. We would highly recommend sampling the many whiskey choices too

We went to this restaurant based on previous reviews. It was excellent, with well priced plain fare food, and the desserts are delicious The couple who run the restaurant are so friendly and helpful. Prices are very competitive for the area.

Went for dinner here on Saturday night, very busy little place and when we asked for a table we got asked if we had booked - this confused me somewhat as we had called a few weeks ago to book but were told they didn't take bookings. Anyways... The food was nice, we found that the locals were given a nicer welcome than the tourists from the management. However their saving grace was the husband & wife couple (from Australia/ nz) who were brilliant. The desserts were incredible. Possibly the largest meringue I have ever seen. Also good knowledge of whiskeys, with a good selection. We stayed along the road in the loch Tay highland lodges, but found this a much nicer place to eat than the lodge bistro. Also very reasonably priced.

Arrived on the Friday for 2 nights stay. 10 of us booked the restaurant at the last minute on the Saturday. Staff were very accommodating in arranging a table for us all. Food on offer was excellent! Drinks were great with a good selection, especially the whiskies! Such an affordable night. Will definitely be returning and recommending

Dit is echt een goed restaurant.De gerechten zijn heerlijk klaar gemaakt en zien er fantastisch uit.Ook de hoeveelheid van gerechten is zeer goed te noemen.Wij hebben hier meerdere keren gegeten, ook verschillende gerechten, deze waren allen perfect klaar gemaakt. Ook de prijs van de gerechten is heel vriendelijk.De sfeer van het restaurant is heel relaxt en open.Een zeer groot pluspunt is ook zeker de keuze voor een desert, eigen gemaakte Schots gebak.Ook voor een avond lekker borrelen kun je hier goed terecht, gecombineerd met een heerlijke overdadige kaas plank. Als laatste zou ik nog willen toevoegen dat de bijgelegen camping ook een super plaats is.Prachtige kampeerplaatsen, staancaravans te huur en octologes voor 2 en voor 4 personen.Sanitair uitstekend en heel vriendelijke beheerders die er alles aan zullen doen om je verblijft tot een succes te maken. Kort om een plek om te bezoeken, ook de plaats killin en omgeving is zeer mooi om te gaan ontdekken..

spent 2 nights here camping excellent location with great views nice friendly staff good facilitiesrestaurant well worth a visit

We went to stay at Cruachan farm campsite for a few days, which is a brilliant campsite and well looked after, and in a great location. toilets and showers are very clean well maintained One morning we decided to go to the Restaurant for breakfast. The restaurant has a very homely and warming atmosphere, and the staff are all very friendly, chatty and cater to your every need. We both had the Scottish breakfast, which is very reasonably priced and generous on portion sizes, we were very impressed with the food, I'm no food critic but it was nice in my view. After we were chatting about the noisy neighbors, in the previous night. the farmers wife was not amused and said she would talk to them, We didn't hear a peep out of them for the rest of the holiday! So customer service is excellent at the campsite!!To sum up (My first visit to Scotland). Cruachan campsite is super, clean and would recommend to anyone and I will be back. The Restaurant is super and is one of the best breakfasts Ive had and im shocked at the good quality for a low cast campsite.

Great prices, excellent quality, my steak was cooked to perfection and the kids loves their meal. The service was excellent and very friendly. It was so good we went for breakfast too and that was just as good with regards to quality, price and friendly efficient service.

We're staying in an Octolodge at Cruachan Farm at the moment and decided we would go for dinner at the restaurant. The food was lovely, prepared fresh, very well priced - for 2 adults main meals, 2 kids mains and ice cream, 2 kids drinks and 2 large glasses of wine it was £40. Service was friendly and efficient.

Stayed on the camp site for one night and had a meal with family in the restaurant. Three of us had steaks, and they were cooked to perfection. Repeat, cooked to perfection!!! They were huge steaks, and well served with chips and salad or veg. My mother had chicken and mango and it was also amazing. Please do not think this place is just a campsite cafe, as it is a fabulous restaurant!!!!

With my wife we visited the restaurant for our evening meal, fantastic, friendly cheerful service,and excellent choices on the menu, food well prepared and presented, portions very generousand hot food served piping hot. we were staying in Killin and well worth the drive to eat at this great venue. hope to re-visit in th future

The standard of cooking is excellent and this is one of the best eating places in the area. It is a happy and welcoming place.

We ate here on our first night in killin as we are staying on the farm itself and it was wonderful. The food was yummy and the service was 5* thank you x

We went to Cruachan Farm to camp and discovered this restaurant on the campsite. Serves some really nice food along with a few locally brewed ales. Staff are very friendly and anybody can go (not just the campers!). Would be a good idea to phone and book as it is a small restaurant which is typically busy.

Got to be one of the best cups of tea in Scotland, add the cakes and I could have stayed in there all afternoon. Very nicely decorated and friendly people. Highly recommended

We would never have given this place a second glance but the locals recommended it (which says more than my review can). Excellent food, reasonably priced, and very very informal and friendly. I believe the couple that own it also run a farm and caravan park, so hats off to them. We went for dinner, but the array of cakes suggest a lunch or afternoon tea stop would be time well spent.

A beautiful, tranquil setting, you could almost miss this delightful restuarant driving along the road from Killin towards Kenmore. Although it is open to casual customers and those who reside at the nearby campsite for evening meals I'd recommend booking ahead. We shared a starter of smoked haddock fish cakes with sweet chilli sauce which was delicious. Followed by excellent salmon course for my freind and I tried the mixed vegetable and nut option, not because I am a vegetarian, just because it appealed to my appetite and I wasn't disappointed. Very tasty with homemade pickle which complimented the dish. We rounded of the meal with a huge meringue bound by thick cream, topped with sliced strawberries. Compliments to the chef and the excellent friendly staff.

Excellant food , good quality, really large portions, good prices £3.55- £15.00, you can also stay at this site, great pitches for camping, Caravans for rent, and Lodges, great prices, children and pets are welcome. Great for people of all ages, couples, family and freinds.staff are really freindly and helpful. Clean accomaondation and well looked after.
