Powfoulis Manor Hotel in Falkirk

Right now it is closed for renovation ... opening within the year

Fantastic food, value, service, surrounding & quite atmosphere. Old school restaurant with so much charm. Paul & his staff can't do enough to keep you happy, without being overbearing & in your face but very attentive & there when you require their service. Can't recommend highly enough. It's our go to place.

Powfoulis was excellent venue for out funeral teas. Service and food quality and quantity all superb.

I've been here many times over the years for special occasions and every time it has been consistently excellent. After seeing it was up for sale I assumed it was no longer open and so I was pleasantly surprised when I phoned up on the off chance to book a table to find out they were still open! I love the 'timewarp' ambience of this place and the food combined with friendly service rounds it all off to being a lovely experience.

We went for lunch it was lovely. The decor is dated but it is part of the charm, in that you can fully immerse yourself in the dining experience and it is a dining experience. We recommend the Breaded mushrooms and prawn cocktail to start. Food was really good, and even better a good pot of tea. Service is polite and friendly. The entrance vestibule is enchanting. Don't be put off by the for sale sign, it is simply that the family wish to retire but it is still going as, Traditional Scottish Period Baronial Manor House. Definitely worth the look if nothing else.

My wife Rachel and I had lunch again today at this choice retreat. Great welcome lovely food, excellent service. Rachel said the macaroni was was best ever. 😅😅

Sunday lunched here a number of times and all have been fantastic. It’s all proper old school attentiveness and politeness. The staff are all excellent. The food is excellent. The Sunday lunch is a tremendous 4 course + coffee affair, with a proper sweet trolley that is wheeled to your table. I just couldn’t resist the Rum baba today - amazing.

Had a fantastic birthday lunch here on Sunday with all the grandchildren.Best experience ever.Staff excellent.

Fur Coat no knickers. We stopped 2 nights and overall were disappointed. We had an evening meal booked which was good until my wife found a piece of plastic in her pudding. I asked for ice cream and was told there wasn't any only to see ice cream arrive at the next table, perhaps it was because they were regulars. I was disappointed but not surprised when the owner made no gesture about the plastic in the bill. The accommodation is very dated and needs some investment. It was a shame because some aspects were very good but wouldn't return or recommend.

Would not advise anyone going to this hotel for a small family wedding. On entering the beautiful premises was met with a cold brisk woman. Who belittle the fact of us wanting a small group wedding and not prepared to accommodate us in anyway. There was no cars in the car park. We can understand why now!

We popped in for lunch, simple old style Scottish grub,filling and well presented the building has great history 👍

We were re-routed here when our original hotel was damaged. For Americans, think Motel 6 or Econo-Lodge for comparison. There are nice pictures of the Manor House, but the rooms are in an adjacent structure that looks something like a storage shed. Our hostess basically walked us out there, there is visible junk around the yard and the property. On a positive note, the gentleman was really accommodating when we said we were leaving for another hotel, which I appreciate.

Fantastic lunch at the powfoulis. Excellent food service and atmosphere. First class!

Don't have a party here. Initially the owner made my now husband and I think they were easy going and happy to help. However this was not the case. The function rooms are beautiful though dated but the toilets have a bad sewage problem which couldn't be disguised when at the function. We paid upfront for everything as requested. This included set up and clean up fees. But they didn't help at all. The owner just followed us and watched, complained how long we took and wouldn't even put their old gas heater on so we were freezing. Same when cleaning up and he insisted we clean up the morning after our wedding. Someone threw a little confetti in the ceremony and the owner came up to my husband right as we were just married to say he would charge us a clean up fee.. We paid for 3 sets of toast drinks. Including speech drinks. The owner stood watching as speeches took place. No one had a drink during the speeches and it wasn't til I audibly complained by the 3rd speech the staff began filling glasses.. The staff were just standing beforehand. Owner of Manor also told staff not to serve our pregnant guest a drink until all our prepaid wine was used up. Likely so that he wouldn't have to refund the corkage fee. He constantly followed me around telling me what I should be doing. He even tried to say we would have a problem if my husband over slept and missed the breakfast included in our hotel payment... There is a suite upstairs and when downstairs was being prepared for party (moving 2 tables) took 2 hours. Guests waited upstairs however owner would not allow guests to relax upstairs longer than 5 minutes once room was ready. The owner had our wedding cake cut before we got our cake cut photos. And his reason was he "waited too long" yet he never told anyone. The large grounds we took our dogs on a 1am walk for a romantic moment. Guess who turned up.. The owner just to say I "got my hours out my dress" and laugh to walk off. And then when cleaning in the morning he insisted we fit a large a pallet in our car before we leave as he wouldn't dispose of the decoration. Knowing full well we took 2 trips to bring the bulkier decor.

Wasn’t a very enjoyable meal! Ordered a rare steak and when it got delivered I asked if it was rare and got told I don’t know there all the same. Woman in my group ordered gluten free and didn’t receive what she asked for! Ordered a pint and waited 15 minutes for it. Manager is going extremely rude and talks down to the staff working under him

A fantastic establishment where you are made to feel like landed gentry. The service is A1, the food is fantastic and the price is amazing. Get yourself treated to some Silver Service and some great food at a country style estate house. You won't be disapointed

Beautiful hotel with wonderful atmosphere. Meal was excellent. Staff very attentive and friendly.

Really enjoyed my lunch here. The lady who served us was very friendly and professional. The meal was well presented. The decor was like stepping back in time and really interesting and quirky. The place was spotless, so clean and polished.

Just had Sunday lunch here food and service were both great and at a very reasonableness price.

Great food great service great value what more do you need

Fabulous setting with a lovely old world feel. The service was first class from the moment we were greeted on arrival to arranging taxis home. Staff were so polite and accommodating. The food was delisious, I really enjoyed the salmon and prawns in a cream sauce. The best bit was the dessert trolly😋. Fantastic value for money and 5 star service.

Perfect service, delicious food and a great , unique and very stunning restaurant

Always a lovely meal, lovely staff.

Another fantastic meal with excellent friendly service

Lovely lunch and service was impeccable.We both had coffee and thought that the small pot could have been left for a top up was our only grumble.

Excellent family lunch! Many thanks.

Nice food and service. Room for improvement though with wee extra focus on quality. I'd go back.

Wonderful location, delicious food, very attentive staff and exceptional value.

My absolute favourite place to dine. First class service and food.

We had a lovely meal here for my girlfriend's birthday. The lounge is grand and opulent and very comfortable!

Fantastic food in brilliant settings

Came for their Valentine's dinner. Food and service was impeccable, the hubs and I were stuffed by the end of the night. Definitely would come again!

Great place, lovely meal, and fabulous ambience

Extra special family outing for birthday dinner. Just lovely, old fashioned service and superb food....you won’t get better.

Very old fashioned with fabulous service in a beautiful setting. Loved the food too.

Super restaurant mit Zimmer, wir waren schon öfters da und können es nur empfehlen, sehr nette wirtsleute, lieber Gruss aus der Schweiz, PS bei der Anfahrt nicht erschrecken, auch normal sterblichen sind bei Paul immer willkommen.

Great place to stay excellent service

. Wir waren positiv überrascht von diesem herrlichen Anwesen. Der freundliche und charmante Schlossherr hat sich gut um uns gekümmert. Diese Unterkunft ist ein absoluter Geheimtipp.

Absolutely fantastic never had a bad lunch the staff are lovely.

Good place to stay with family and friends

I'm maybe a bit bias here because this is a special place. We got married here and the owners, Paul and Ann, did so much for us. Everytime we hit obstacles, they both sorted them. Their attention to customer service is second to none. Excellent!

Could really do with making an access for people who use wheelchairs. Being pushed along a grass area then having to get out of wheelchair to climb down two stairs over a wall, then the same coming out. Come on it's 2019 surely you can come up with something better. Thank goodness it was dry!!!

Beautiful manor house - excellent hosts and delicious food

Excellent meal. First class service.

Priced very reasonable, excellent service.Walter Scott.

Had Christmas lunch here with friends. Service was outstanding. Menu selection was tremendous. Value for money was very evident. Will definitely return to this hidden treasure. Would award six stars if possible.

The surroundings were very fine: trees and lawns. The cuisine was exceptional. The staff very friendly and helpful. The house itself is interesting and comfortable. My visit was a success, partly due to my being advised to visit Calendar House where I received help with important archives and some knowledgeable locals, all of them very helpful.

We had lunch here last week. It was like stepping back in time - but in a good way. Service excellent, food tasty, a unique experience.

An intentional, and delightful, 70s throwback. Good food, a warm welcome.

If you want great service and delicious food this is the place to go set in beautiful grounds. It is old fashioned and could do with refurbishment other than that brilliant and friendly staff.

Lunch menu was great value for money. Service was excellent. Will be back

Stunning hotel. Amazing surroundings. Fab staff. Great prices

Staff are welcoming and friendly. Service was 1st class

Outstanding location, breakfast and the hospitality was amazing. Lovely people, will be returning.

Great venue, stunning grounds, fantastic staff

Staff were lovely and very attentive, the food was very 70's and although the house was a step back in time it could do with a little love and attention. Overall, a lovely afternoon.

Food and service were ok. Quite dark and old fashioned. Had an issue that I emailed the manager about and received an email back. Didn't resolve my issue but since original email, all subsequent correspondence has been ignored. Highly unprofession. Would not recommend.

Lovely hotel, a bit off the beaten track. Rather quirky old manor house with motel style rooms outside. The couple who run it are lovely. Rooms are a little dated but very comfortable and breakfast is gorgeous.

Had another beautiful meal.. can not fault a thing, staff are friendly and very attentive.. 4 courses reasonable priced considering sitting in a beautiful surrounding and grand manor.. only my second visit love coming for special occasions.

The hotel is very nice, with the owners being pleasant and kind.

Been here 2 or 3 times for a bar meal. The food is amazing and brilliant value for money.

Family run in a stunning setting and grand interior with top notch food to match.

Excellent meal, excellent service, superb surroundings and reasonable prices

A Fantastic place that is professionally run. Beautiful surroundings too.

Had a lovely meal at Powfoulis Manor with great service

Lovely surroundings, grand food and excellent company. What more could a body ask for.

4 of us went there for dinner, Was like stepping back in time, but in a good way. Nice comfy chesterfield sofas in lounge. Nice chilled out relaxed atmosphere too. Will be back again.

They have great menu and a comfy welcoming atmosphere. Very tastful decor.

Love the dining experience. Silver service, excellent food and not too expensive. Best to book in advance to avoid disappointment.

Fantastic! Had lunch at powfoulis to celebrate my parents Ruby Wedding Anniversary and our experience was fantastic! Amazing food, friendly efficient staff and the silver service adds a special touch. We will definitely visit again.
