The Coach House Lounge Bar in Stirling

Myself and a group of 5 have never experienced a hotel that hides behind covid to give the worst possible service you could get. No hello, good morning, good evening or can I help you. Asking for any extra items we dreaded. To be fair the son in law just about made it bearable. As a group we spent over £1000 in this place and was treated appallingly. we had traveled to complete a walk ticking off the munroes. We asked if we could have an early breakfast because of the heart to the reply “ don’t do early breakfast it’s between 8/9. So we asked for some cereal to be left and toast . We was left I box of mini cereal each nothing else at a cost of £50:£60 per night. The morning we left I found that the cost of the trip had been taken from my bank account without my knowledge . The card was used to secure the booking abs was not told at any point it would be used as we where 3 separate couples. No discussion that this had happened on the first day we arrived .I thought my account had been hacked and was seen upset at breakfast yet still nothing said. Under the current climate you would expect nothing less than manners especially when you are paying guest.

Had a great meal here tonight . Staff & food was fab . Don’t understand the bad reviews & can’t comment on accommodation, but we would definitely recommend the food & service was good .

This is a shabby hotel. Our tiny attic bedroom had ancient beds and worn out cheap bed linen. The concept of hospitality is missing and it is joyless. The food was awful and staff unhelpful.

Our first night in Killin, at the end of May, was spoiled by an unfriendly welcome to the restaurant. We arrived without reservation, we called the restaurant number and it was not busy, so we were able to sit down right away. We were advised that, it was possible to sit outside with our dog, but no service outside. We then proceeded in to make an order and to take our drinks out, this was not allowed???!!! We have walked away, to the Killin hotel just few minutes away. It is a shame, as the Coach House is the nearest place to our work, easy for us to visit again and many of our customers are asking about this restaurant. We are definitely not recommending this restaurant to our clients and will not be going back till new owners arrive.

We were staying nearby and popped in on our first night and last night for dinner. The food is all home cooked, piping hot and delicious. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. One thing I also noticed is that they are taking the Covid protocol seriously and we felt very safe eating here due to their outstanding cleanliness. I would highly recommend eating here.

While staying at the caravan and motorhome site, we visited the coach house hotel a very short walk away for an evening meal. What a delight it was. Not only did they allow dogs but the welcome was very friendly and the food exceptional. We had 3 really lovely courses at such a reasonable price. I had the chicken in garlic with the puff pastry and my husband had the beef with puff pastry. The meat was so tender, the chips really nice and they had no issue with me changing peas for a side salad.The service was really lovely and relaxed but excellent. We had a lovely time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to people.

Wij wilden na zeven jaar weer eens terug naarwaar wij destijds onze rondreis in Schotland zijn begonnen, hotel was nog steeds prima en het eten in de Lounge Bar was prima, hebben genoten van de live muziekanten, was werkelijk weer top

Staying in Kilin for a few days. Took my wife and our 5 year old for an evening meal. Great friendly atmosphere, plenty of choice in food and drinks. Food arrived on roasting hot plates, was delicious and filling. The portion sizes were hearty, including the children’s fish. My wife declared her tartlet “one of the best she’s ever tasted!” Staff very friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Very friendly bar pooch named ‘bandit’ who loved a good pet. Would definitely come again.

This bar abuts the hotel / restaurant and is nicely situated in a semi isolated spot at the rear of the car park. There appears to be an upstairs, but I didn’t get that far. The bar is great, although I was the only customer. They have a pool table and plenty of seating. The toilets are picking clean, in my eyes a must! The staff were obviously underworked but cheery which is typical this far north. I do hope this place is busier than it was on a mid-November Saturday night, because it deserves to be.

We have enjoyed an evening with live music in the bar off the hotel. From March till end off October there is every Saturday evening live music in the bar. This night Ted Christopher song for three hours. And it was great he song real schots songs and all other songs. The bar was busy and every body enjoyed them self. The bar had a lot of nice beers, ciders and whisky's to offer. We had a great evening. Manny thanks for that.

The Coach House is the last hotel as you leave Killin depending on which way you drive into the village its about a 10 minute walk from the village you always get a warm welcome they have a wood burner pool table and some board games for the kids tqhe food is very good and its dog friendly in the bar as well 10/10

Recently spent two nights here. The trip did not start well. My husband and I arrived around the agreed time and followed the instruction to ring the bell.....which we did for a good 10 mins.....no reply. Had to resort to phoning the hotel to tell them we were here. We were met by a somewhat disgruntled lady who.....instead if apologising for our wait proceeded to check the bell we had tried to ring and agreed oh yes it wasn't working. We were shown to our room. The room seemed nice and spacious so we unpacked. We headed to the bar for the promised pub grub and maybe a wee game of pool. The actuality was a pool table pushed into a corner and boarded over......bland overpriced food and warm beer. Things progressed over the weekend. Sunday's breakfast again mediocre culminated in me finding a long blond hair embedded in my bacon rasher.......not good! The cleanliness of our room left much to be desired including cobwebs....a chipped bedside lamp....the kettle on the courtesy tray splashed with the previous occupants coffee and cups and saucers less than immaculate. All in all we spent the best part of £250 for two nights in a most disappointing establishment. I would definitely not recommended this premise.

We had planned to visit here on our first night at killin as there was a band on from 9pm and we were looking forward to some live entertainment. However while trying to book a table for four for tea before the band started we were told the children had to out by 8pm as it was a open bar after that so we couldn't stay to watch the band. We were very disappointed and thought given the very close proximity to the campsite they would attract a lot of trade from families with children there however wasn't to be on our visit shame really.

Friendly owners and a lovely atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend staying here.We have stayed in hotel accommodation all over Europe and further with mixed results and the Coach House was just what was needed after a long days activities, climbing and travelling. Welcoming hosts and a relaxing feel to the hotel.

Stayed on a B&B basis in the hotel’s front facing Lochay Room. Large, well appointed with small sitting area and very comfortable. Very good breakfast and service from owners was excellent. Would recommend.

Van de brug over de snel stromende rivier naar het meer gelopen en via de andere kant terug en kwamen dit tentje tegen.Familiebedrijfje met als schoonzoon een Nederlander uit Nieuwegein.Heerlijk buiten wat gedronken.Hij gaf ons een tip om een stukje terug te lopen, want daar ligt deels verborgen een mooie ruïne van Finlarig Castle

Vom Ambiente eine Bar aus den Siebzigern, etwas altbacken uhrig aber irgendwie nett. Sehr freundliche Besitzer, riesen Auswahl an gezapften Bieren inkl. einem sehr leckeren Guiness.

Just had a very dissapointing meal at the coach house.

Escogimos este hotel para pasar la noche y muy bien. Relacion calidad precio buena para los precios en Escocia. Desayuno correcto. Tienen un pub con música en directo pero a partir de cierta hora no pueden ir niños.

Music was good but it seems the staff are not so enthusiastic. The bar was busy so I would have thought the staff would have been a bit cheerier. Drinks were reasonably priced though

Had a lovely meal in here on Saturday night. Plenty choice nice and hot. Friendly,helpful staff. We stayed overnight as there was also entertainment on later in the lounge which was very good.

A good welcome from the owners and made to feel welcome. Dogs ok and good beer. Good food menu with plenty of choice.

We stopped off for soup and a beer however while the soup was fine, the service from the barmaid ( possibly the owner ?) was terrible. Totally miserable and lacking any willingness to help, she is clearly in the wrong business. Unwilling to really answer any questions and viewing us as an intrusion, when we raised the issue of beer being hot she told us this was normal. It was pointless to become involved in any argument. When we rode further in to Killin, we saw that all other cafes / bars were far more busy - not surprised. Would never return to such misery.

Great band, fab choice of drinks which are reasonably priced. Friendly attentive staff. Well worth a visit when visiting Killin. We will return. Thank you x

Female owner unfriendly, grumpy & rude. Hospitality training wouldn't go a miss. Male owner v friendly but it is a team effort

Over priced for food although beer was nice. Found the staff friendly and the music was good in the evening They have a captive audience from the caravan park but need to do better food to justify the rather expensive fare for what it is.

The owners are very friendly and the place has a fab wee atmosphere. Recommend for locals and for guests, particularly during the live music season on friday & saturday nights!

Popped in here on Friday afternoon and just had a drink. Saw the special board had Ginger & Lime ice cream on it. Asked if they would still have some on Saturday and was assured it would be there.

Both the beer and the food scraped in as just acceptable. Dry oven chips and an uninspiring dish overall. Not great at all.

Esta fue una tercera visita a Killin, siempre vaya aquí para una comida, ya que está a muy poca distancia de la zona de caravanas. La comida es buenísima, no una enorme variedad en el menú, pero cuando han estado en la carretera durante 6 horas es caliente, sabroso y sin lavar! . Siempre hay una encantadora bienvenida desde el propietario que es muy servicial.

Nos alojamos en el sitio cerca de caravanas y este es el lugar más cercano para comer. tripadvisor debería haber leído antes de ir. La comida normal, patatas fritas y guisantes con todo. Pero acogedor bar inicialmente si no va a pasar mucho dinero entonces hay comentarios sarcástico realizadas. Nos pusieron a la derecha para ir de nuevo. Prueba el Killin Hotel (a la izquierda del campamento entonces por el río) o a la derecha y siguiendo la carretera hasta el puente de Lochay.

Vi råkade gå förbi puben när det var musik en fredagskväll. En trio spelade gamla Dylan och Van Morrison och det var en riktigt bra spelning. Det rådde en mycket trevlig atmosfär. Mycket folk från trakten, många sjöng med i låtarna. En sådan där stämning som gör att man vill stanna kvar lite längre än man bör.

Great beer, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Menu is good Pub eats for all the family. Even dogs are welcome!

Práctico si quieres caminar en el pueblo o si quería una bebida en el bar. El chico que sirve detrás de la barra, y estaba en el desayuno era encantador y servicial. El desayuno era muy agradable. Cosas que mejoraría aún más el hotel: El colchón de la cama no es tan cómoda. La habitación sólo necesitaba un poco de toques finales y polvo no diría justificado 90. 00 una noche decir en comparación a otros hoteles en nuestro viaje tal vez 70. 00 a 75.oo. La zona contaba con unas vistas preciosas y un buen restaurante Casa courie.

my wife and i called in for a drink and meal, and found it to be a nice little lounge bar. we both had a meal, my wife opting for the fish which she thought would have been fresh but was dissapointed to find that it was frozen fish, of poor quaulity. i had pork sausage wrapped in beef which i found very tasty indeed, washed down with a nice pint of belhavon best.

Un gran pub local con zona de estar y un muy buen menú que proporciona comida recién preparada par ejecutar el bar

Estancia en el camping al otro lado de la carretera por lo que elegimos aquí para la cena. Nos hubiera gustado haber caminado más hacia el pueblo. Obviamente no comida casera como la anuncian. El menú muestra sólo el plato principal, así que no sé que es patatas fritas congeladas y guisantes con todo hasta que llega. Si vas a servir patatas fritas congeladas por lo menos usar decentes. Personal femenino fue lo suficientemente amable, pero el hombre (no uso el término "caballero"), nos dio una recepción muy frío. Tal vez no como turistas ingleses o quizás simplemente motorhomers. Yo creo un gran número de los clientes son gente del camping como probablemente sepas ir a otro lado.

Great cosy little bar with real ales on handpump. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The food is OK without being brilliant - fried haddock was of the frozen variety.We still went back several times as it was handy for the caravan site.

If it was for the food alone, it would be three stars. We were hungry, it did the job. The casserole was tasty but the rest was supermarket stuff. The best bit was the acoustic duo who were singing and the all round atmosphere from the locals in the bar. It was a really enjoyable night.

I would avoid eating here. Everything fried had been done at far too high a temperature and was overly crispy. Cosy enough wee bar, and great selection of whisky, so OK for a drink I suppose. Can't comment on the music because the musician had called off sick.

Popped in to have some lunch with my partner and parents. We were all greeted MOST frostily by a woman (who I later learned was unfortunately) the manager. After being herded into the "lounge bar," she refused to wait on us and it became apparent we'd have to go right up to the bar to order our drinks. Note: this was a quiet weekday and there was NO-ONE else in the bar except us. When at the bar, she gave us our menus, but made very little "genuine" conversation. A smell of urine from the nearby lavatories distinctly drifted through the air which did nothing to add positively to our dining experience. When the food finally arrived, it was very "supermarket café" like and NOT at all "home-made." On a final note, the only vegetable we all had on our different dishes were PEASE. Avoid at all costs:(

Very friendly staff who could not do enough for us (Including offering to make and plate a meal for my wife as she was going to be arriving after meals were finished).Thankfully this was not required and we sat down to very nice meal in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Overall the food was excellent, although a bit more variety would not go amiss but this may have been down to near end of season?Prices were also quite reasonable and servings were more than adequate.

Friendly staff.My husband and I stopped off here for a bite to eat. When told our food came with peas, as did all the meals. My husband asked if he could have carrots but he was told NO as they only do peas. What is that all about? Not even an offer of mash potato as it was just chips. First place I have been that I have had to pay first before I eat. Defo won't be back!!!!!

We visited on a Friday night, very nice clean surroundings, a young man playing guitar doing rock type music,he was excellent. We didn't have a meal as we had already eaten so can't comment on the food, but well worth popping in if you're staying in Killin.

Walked up to this place as parked m'home in village centre and music advertised that night. 2 guys singer n guitarist. .brilliant..what we thought would be a rather staid night was great fun..modern music and the locals strutting their stuff on tiny dance area..we only went for an hour and finally left after midnight!!

Spent an evening in the Coach house hotel for dinner with the in laws while visiting Killin for the night. Immediately upon entry you're hit by the dingey look and a waft of urine from the toilets! The menu has decent selection. However when the food came it seemed very much like it was microwaved frozen food. I had a burger and it was like one of those Rustler burgers with a cheese slice, no salad, no bacon nothing and on the sides just some sad frozen chips. My wife had the steak pie and it was utterly tasteless. We had deserts after because we were still hungry and it was defo those heinze tinned sponge deserts. To make it worse it wasn't cheap either and the music was pants. Go somewhere else in Killin for dinner.

Lomond room was very nice, clean, comfortable, small bathroom but big enough for us for an overnight stay. Lovely views of the River Tay from this room. Good service, breakfast, price reasonable. We didn't eat in the bar but the added bonus of a really good band on the evening was the icing on the cake. Great location, Killin is a lovely place to stay with the Loch, Falls, River and mountain views.

Just enjoyed the yummiest homemade meal in a bar for a long time. Delicious quality food and we'll priced. Friendly atmosphere And dog friendly too. Definitely well worth a visit

Had something to eat here on our first night stay in killin. Good food and just what the kids wanted. Nice friendly staff. Myself and husband went up next night for a quiet drink, band playing thoroughly enjoyed. Would visit again

As we were staying at the Coach House we decided to eat there on our first night. Good real ale and wine available by the (individual portion) bottle. My fish & chips was a huge portion and very tasty but I doubt it was truly 'home-cooked' (as advertised on their website) as the breaded fish was clearly from a catering supplier. My wife's risotto was very disappointing being mushy and tasteless. Unusually (for me), we didn't comment because the owners were nice, friendly and helpful and because we'd be eating elsewhere on the other evenings.

While staying in Killin for a couple of nights we ate out a couple of times at this establishment. This is a family run establishment and the owners were very friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent on both occasions - home cooked and piping hot. The owner even remembered us from a visit way back at the beginning of November. Would recommend the Coach House to anyone looking for good honest food at an excellent price. Susan and Jim, Clydebank

We stayed here for 3 nights last week and were very happy with all the service we received. We're not food connoisseurs by any means but the food was everything we were hoping for.If beer's your thing then this is definitely the bar for you. Try the Belhaven Best if you're not from Scotland as I'd never heard of it before but now want more.Like I said, we stayed for 3 nights. The room was peaceful, the bed was comfy and clean and we had a great view of the mountains from the window.I'd stay again.

Food took an unacceptable time to arrive and we had to pay up front so we were force to stay and wait… food was below basic when it finally arrived. However, the owners attitude when I highlighted both facts was shocking! Bottom line: avoid at all cost and keep on walking. This incident took place in October 2013 it is now June 2014 – we will never be back!

We know the family that run this hotel and its very popular at the weekends, especially as the caravan site is just across the road from it! We always make a point of going in several times during our visits to Killin, you always get a lovely warm welcome and the entertainment is always top notch. Most of the bands have you up dancing or at least singing along! My husband and I have had many brilliant nights in here especially when The Minogues, Davy Tait or Ted Christopher are playing, Ab Fab!!

Food was not great I had burger which was processed and would have liked a homeade steakburger not difficult .. Chips were not home chips but frozen .. really disappointed with the quality . The tables could do with a good clean - good enough Bar at the weekends but not great for food ....

Came to this pub two evenings running and had a great time on each occasion. The beer was good with a selection of hand pumped ales. We ate on one night and found the food to be equally good. The pub had live music on both nights which was very entertaining and gave the pub at terrific atmosphere

Had dinner a couple of nights ago in the barif you like frozen chips (and not good ones either) and frozen peas with everything unless you have chilli then you'll be okay.The food was tasteless and more like boil in the bag ready made meals from the supermarket and they have the cheek to charge ridiculous prices.The paying public deserve better don't you think

We returned to the Coach House Lounge Bar as mentioned in a previous review (Sept 13), once again we found the place welcoming and enjoyed our meal. However I am sorry to say that overall our meal was not quite as good as last time. The portions were smaller and the quality was not quite as good, which is a pity as we could not find fault on our last visit. The local ales are still well kept and enjoyable. The service was quick and efficient, what was served was hot and wholesome. However, on ordering a sweet, chocolate pudding and sticky toffee pudding we asked for custard but were informed that it only came with ice cream. We were a little disappointed, but that being said we would visit again if in the area, if only to see if this was just a one off.

Lovely meal, reasonably priced, good selection. Staff were adequate - took order, served food but not particularly friendly or welcoming in contrast to treatment of regulars at the bar. Would have gone back but felt we might be intruding.

Nice place, down to earth feel with friendly staff. serves real beer which was good, food was decent and hearty. good value for money too.

Love this place. Well worth a visit for lunch or an evening out. Lots to entertain (pool table, pets, live music), and good hearty food. Family friendly too. I'll be visiting again!

By the time we arrived to try this place meals were finished being served; which was the first thing the barman said when we approached the bar! It was a little after 8.00 pm - not late we thought. Typical of the village tho so went returned to our hotel

Enjoyed a pint in here with friends. Was told it had only pool table in Killin. Did not eat, but the menu looked fine and good value.

Visited for nostalgic reasons, but the meal was terrible, atmosphere terrible, host terrible, what more can I say!

great accommodation, fine food aplenty served in the Bar, lively atmosphere in the Bar with live music, the hosts made us very welcome....

only stayed 1 night - room was ok - have stayed in better - bar was very quiet - did not eat there as to be honest it didn't have any atmosphere - the shower in the room was brilliant - that's about the best thing about this place ! breakfast poor - they need to buy decent sausages!

Friendly owners, good little bar, good food, well presented property in a pretty location. Close to the north end of Loch Tay. Scenic views of Ben Lawers

Whilst staying in Killin, we had 2 evening meals in the bar, both meals were excellent. This is a family run establishment, the food is obviously cooked to order, so do not expect quick service, but it is well worth the wait. The portions were generous, well cooked and very hot, this is one of a few premises that I have visited where the plates have been heated, keeping the food hot. The prices were very reasonable, the service was very good, the staff were all friendly, it is used by the locals which is always a good sign. I have no hesitation in recommending the food in the lounge bar to anyone. The local ales were very good and well kept. We are considering returning to the area next year and will be visiting this establishment again.

Got there on a friday night and stayed the night on the way through the highlands, meal was good and reasonably priced. The service was great very friendly family run place. Its just outside the main part of Kilin but across the road is the river and a short walk to the castle and waterfalls so centrally located.We came back that night to live music and the pub was absolutely packed with a great atmosphere I'd definately recommend this as a place to stop the night or stay a weekend.Breakfast was good the following morning and rooms were pleasant and tidy.

Got there around 1930 on a busy Friday evening. Had a quick check in and pleasant reception. Had Bar Dinner. Tasty and reasonable. Had local music that night (lets us mingle with locals). A family run place. Even the little girls want to help their mom clean up after breakfast. Can recommend.

We first found this hotel in 2012, but only had drinks. At the time, they told us that their menu catered for coeliacs, but unfortunately, we were not in the area long enough to eat there. As a result we returned this year to eat. The gluten free options have been extended, so my wife had no problem picking a meal. Both our meals were really enjoyable, the beers were excellent and the atmosphere is wonderful. Highly recommended.

food great atmosphere very good music on a friday night pet dogs welcome water provided very welcome place after a long walk in the area

We just loved the food here. We wandered into the coach house for our evening meal and we were not disappointed the food was great. What a nice welcome you get here, and this place has a nice relaxing atmosphere, We were only in Killin for two nights but as the food was so good we had our evening meal here on both nights.

Had a good night on an anniversary stay. The hotel was comfortable and clean and we had a lovely view from our room window. We went on to Lounge Bar at night and had a most enjoyable evening with a live band. The bar had some excellent real ales and a very healthy selection of decent malts all reasonably priced. The only disappointment of the weekend was the way the village seems to be struggling to attract visitors with several good hotels and businesses closed. Killin used to be such a thriving and busy village. A sign of the times perhaps?????

Warme atmospheer, leuke en vriendelijke mensen. Leuke live muziek. Lekkere biertjes op de tap en een ruim assortiment aan whiskey.

I had a great night at the couch house. Popped in for a pint while out walking the dog,There was a live band on & i ended up staying until closing. The wife wasn't happy with me as we were staying at the killin hotel for the weekend and it was our last night.

Good beer, nice location but no atmosphere unless it's the weekend when they have live music on. The staff are really friendly and the meals they do are tasty and fresh but it's nearly always empty!

lovely lounge and hotel.Like that they Always remember us when we return each time and make you really welcome

This is a friendly local pub, where dogs and large groups are welcome. It is reasonably priced and has a great selection of whiskies and other spirits, including the option of a yard of ale.

Went here twice with my wife and daughter, on the first occasion we ordered chips and when the plate came the bowl in which the chips were in was scalding hot so much so my daughter burnt her finger. The lady that served us didn't mention that the bowl would be hot never mind that it was scalding. I had to get ice from the bar to help cool down the burn. The staff apologised but it just felt like a feeble apology. We decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and go back for a meal. Now that was a bad mistake and it wasn't very nice. My wife and I had burgers and my daughter had chicken nuggets. Well it wasn't very nice and the following day we all had very upset tummies. We will go back to Killin but won’t be visiting this place again. Our Friends who also have been to Killin this year also thought the same as us.

While on a bike trip through the Lochs region, we stayed in Killin and the inn keeper recommended the Coach House for a meal and entertainment. Both were excellent. The restaurant was a 10-15 minute walk from our B&B. The place was crowded with welcoming folks. The food was excellent and included pub food as well as trout, salmon and lamb. The beers were delicious, and the malt whiskey from the region priced fairly. Most of the patrons seemed to be locals. At 9:00PM, the music started and the pair singing were just great.The crowd sang along, and the two gents singing took requests. We were thrilled with the experience and felt we had experienced a bit of life in the region around Loch Lomand and Loch Tay.

Great folk music all weekend, resonable prices for drinks.

We visited on two seperate nights in a week whilst touring, firstly the good points, the bar is very warm and cosy and very welcoming, nice decor with the furniture covered in the Douglas tartan, very nice, the owners are friendly and welcoming,they have a very good selection of single malt whiskies, the down side is the food, or the price of it. I ordered a scottish beefburger,expecting something substantial at £9.50, what came up was well below par and tiny, a Rustlers burger that you get in the supermarket would be twice the size. At £9.50 this isnt just steep its downright extortion and the owners should be embarrased to sell it at that price.If they addressed their menu and pricing policy I think they could only benefit from it.

Came here for some lunch this April on a saturday lunch time and when we walked in there was no one in apart from bar lady/chef. There was no heating on and the menu was poor (no steak) my partner had what looked like steak pie whiteout the pastry and peas were still frozen. I had scampie and chips with 8 bits of scampie and 12 chips, no salad which I was surprised about. And to charge £10 for scampie and £10 for my partners meal was scandilus. In total we were £23 n was still starving! And to top it we waited 35mins for our very poor meal.

Have stayed in killin and dined in the coach house on several occasions. Made to feel very welcome and the food was typical of a family run pub, home cooked and made to order.Sometimes took awhile for the food to arrive, portion size was very generous. Could not comment on the rooms as we have not stayed.
