The Courtyard Cafe in Stirling

Lovely cafe set in a beautiful location. The food was delicious and staff friendly and efficient. Worth a visit.

Outstanding place,quiet,clean,fresh and cosy! Brilliant service from the hard working girls! Excellent food served hot & flavoursome Good choice menu,desserts & cakes also Definitely be back

After visiting this lovely tea room many times over the years and really enjoying it and finding the staff really pleasant, lately this has changed with one member of staff in particular being really rude. We as a family won’t return and that’s sad. We booked a table on the 4th of July to celebrate my mums birthday taking two cars. It takes 35 minutes each way to get there which we love as it’s a scenic drive but on arriving in Fintry we discovered the road that takes you along to the tearoom closed with no alternative route apart from driving back to where we came from and going in from the Stirling end which if we had known we would have done. When we phoned the tearoom to ask why they wouldn’t have told us this on booking we got said rude member of staff who bluntly told us they don’t have time to ask everyone where they are travelling from. It would have taken seconds to let us know the road in was closed saving us wasting over an hour in travel time not to mention the fuel used. We have been visiting since the tearoom opened so many years and have a lot of happy memories but we will not return

We visited primarily to see the wedding venue at the farm and as it was a lovely day, decided to stop off for a coffee and scone. Despite not having a reservation we were lucky and managed to get a table. Lovely cafe and the shop is good too.

Delicious afternoon tea, variety of savoury and sweet. All fresh and tasty. Staff are friendly. Lovely venue and the views are stunning and especially in the sunshine.

Excellent afternoon tea, everything on it was delicious. Food is all so fresh and good value for money. Gorgeous venue.

Bought a Ploughman’s platter. Utterly shocking. 2 slices of ham, and 2 small chunks of cheddar cheese. With some pickle with half a slice of bread cut into a triangle. What was on the plate couldn’t even make up a sandwich due to only 1 slice of bread. Guy please google what comes in a Ploughman’s lunch because you’re missing a lot of items. For £9 it was terrible.

We visited the Courtyard as we were in the area to see the Tin Shed wedding venue. We hadn’t booked a table and were lucky to get a table just on lunchtime. We both ordered large cappuccinos and a scone each. Huge crumbly scones served with butter and amazing raspberry jam. First class! People nearby had ordered sandwiches and quiche and everything looked good. I would recommend the Courtyard and advise you book in advance. The surrounding scenery is stunning.

Lovely cafe in a great setting after a drive through the Carron valley. We’ve been a couple of times before and enjoyed it. We hadn’t booked, so were lucky to get a table - the food was prompt and good quality with excellent service. And the most impressive henhouse we’ve ever seen!

I'll not lie, I've been here a few times. And each time it is AMAZING! My friend and I had lunch last weekend, it was a horrible day but we were brightened up by the beautiful surroundings. We had a fabulous lunch of ploughman's platter and the beef brisket, super tasty! I really enjoy the lemonade crushes, not too sweet or fake tasting. We did have room for the delicious coffee and cake, which were a 10/10! I like that there are some little goodies for sale in the foyer (I'm a huge fan for Highland Soap Co.) Great place, definitely be back! Thank you!

The Courtyard Cafe is nestled in a working farm in the most beautiful countryside. The food, in particular the cake, is excellent. The takeaway queue is quick but the table service is a little slower so don't sit-in if you're in a hurry. Strong recommendation for their ice cream (and other dairy) which they produce themselves!

Visited twice at lunchtime. They serve a wide range of food, snacks and main courses. Nicely presented and staff were knowledgable on local area. Also they incorporate a village shop and a museum which is well worth a look.

What a great cafe hidden away in a stunning location. Visited recently for the first time. Lunch was amazing, great quality food served by friendly staff. Will definitely be back.

Utterly delightful location at a farm just outside Fintry. Lovely staff, pleasant environment and the best almond cake ever. Scones also first class. We didn’t have lunch but that looked great too

Such a nice play in a beautiful location. Food superb and very reasonably priced considering portion size and quality. Definitely be back.

Beautiful setting. Food was lovely. Fresh locally sourced produce. Staff very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to go back.

Nos recomendaron un paseo en auto por los Campsies y nos dijeron que nos aseguráramos de ir al Courtyard Caf en Fintry para tomar una taza. Se nos informó que es tan popular que deberíamos considerar hacer una reserva con anticipación.Como somos escépticos sobre salir a comer en la semana en que se levantó el bloqueo, no reservamos. Cuando llegamos a Knockraich Farm, donde se encuentra Courtyard Caf, encontramos una larga cola de personas esperando comida para llevar. La cola estaba bien gestionada y había un adecuado distanciamiento social.Una camarera nos dijo que había asientos disponibles adentro si queríamos, así que fuimos a echar un vistazo antes de decidirnos. Encontramos que todo el personal llevaba máscaras y toda la comida debidamente protegida. Estaba impecable y las mesas estaban espaciadas para asegurar el distanciamiento social, por lo que optamos por quedarnos.Tomamos bollos caseros y todavía calientes con mermelada de frambuesa y crema, acompañados de una gran taza de té. Todo estaba delicioso y el servicio excelente.En el exterior, la finca se encuentra en una ubicación idílica con vistas a Campsie Fell. La granja tiene un jardín encantador y colorido, y un gallinero con pájaros muy amigables fue de interés para los niños.Volveremos. . . . .

Primer almuerzo fuera durante meses debido a C 19. Nos sentamos en el patio y tomamos muy buen té, sopa y rollos de salchicha caseros entre nosotros. Todavía operando como comida para llevar, por lo que se presentó en vasos y contenedores de papel después de haber sido ordenados en la tienda. ¡También compramos mantequilla y yogur aquí todas las semanas, cortesía de G 63 NeighbourFood!

Visitamos este lugar cuando nos alojamos en Kippen, ha sido un firme favorito para almorzar durante años. La comida es casera y muy sabrosa. Esta es una granja que tiene restaurante y tienda. El producto helado / yogur, entre otras cosas, se vende a los mejores hoteles y restaurantes y Waitrose. Es un precio razonable y un entorno fantástico al pie de las colinas de Fintry. Si es lo suficientemente bueno para los gustos de Glen Eagles, ¿qué más puedo decir? ¿Bien hecho a Katy Rodgers?

My first visit to this establishment and it certainly won’t be my last.I had the Courtyard Club Sandwich which was served with some salad and crisps and boy did I enjoyed it, served on toasted brown bread and filled with chicken, bacon, tomato and salad.Staff were very friendly and helpful.Would definitely recommend a visit.

Came across the Courtyard Cafe by chance while out on a drive through the Campsies. It was signposted from Fintry. Situated on a farm. Despite being away from busy towns there were plenty of people there, which is always a good sign, and we got a table OK. Friendly service, not too dear, and we enjoyed our tea and scones. A nice find. We would come here again if out this way for a drive.

A fantastic find in a village of stunning natural beauty! A relaxed friendly place to eat ......also fabulous cakes, ice creams etc to take away!We just popped in for coffee and cake after a walk and it was all of a very high standard - firmly recommend it

This is a little out of the way, but well worth the effort of finding it, it is set in amongst beautiful countryside. The food is fantastic, all local ingredients, made fresh by Katy and the team. The setting and the food make this a place that will soon become a favourite.

Stopped off here with our dog who had hurt his paw, we sat outside and ate cake, coffee, milk shakes and a sandwich while her recovered. I must say the staff were lovely and even provided doggy first aid! The food and drink was of the highest standard- cannot recommend highly enough!

Excellent lunch, very pleasant staff, excellent service, couldn't have asked for better. Will make sure we go again when in area.

A truly stunning location on a lovely summers day like today. Impeccable welcome. Simply superb lunch (caesar salad/open prawn & salmon sandwich/mushroom soup) with a superb ice cream made on premise by Katy Rodgers. You can even pour your own milk.

A Monday treat ... afternoon tea at The Courtyard Cafe at Knockraich Farm. Delicious, bite-size morsels of wonderful-ness served in beautiful surroundings. This place gets it so, so right Oh, and the service was outstanding (Rory) Be sure to give them a few days notice - so that they can fully wow you!

This cafe has been a firm favourite of ours for years. The food and cakes are homemade and are delicious and the staff are always polite and attentive. Set on the family dairy farm, the cafe sits alongside an interior design studio, shop, dairy, garden and an intimate wedding venue. The family produce their own ice cream, yoghurt and cheese and cider too, all set in a perfectly bucolic location. A wonderful venue.

I have visited the Courtyard for lunch on numerous occasions and never been disappointed. The food is always freshly prepared with two or three choices of delicious home made soup, quiche and a great choice of sandwiches and salads. The cakes are wonderful and always accompany us home in a box! A great place in a wonderful setting.

I often pop in during cycle rides out from Stirlin. Its a lovely cafe, the have lots of tasty stuff, delicious soup, and the scones are very large indeed

A chance conversation with a local led us to this gorgeous cafe about 35 mins from Bridge of Allan. We arrived about 11am, got busy at lunchtime so book in advance or arrive in good time. Definitely worth the drive. This will always be a beautiful memory of birthday brunch on my last day in Scotland.

We were on our way up to Callander and decided to drive on a B road, as luck would have it we decided to look for a nice coffee shop. Lo and behold The Courtyard Cafe sign appeared on our way through Fintry and we followed the signs. Absolutely divine, the venue, presentation, friendliness of staff and our coffee and strawberry tarts were delicious. SO glad we drove on the B road....

Happened upon this fantastic place by accident.

My friends and I were out for a day trip in the car last weekend and found ourselves in the Campsie Hills. What glorious scenery. In need of a coffee we saw the sign for The Courtyard Cafe. What a lovely setting with the courtyard of the farmhouse filled with plants and flowers, the laburnum and wisteria in full bloom. Inside was a very well laid out farm shop and the farmhouse rooms given over to small seating areas offering a sense of privacy. Understated but tasteful decoration throughout and very friendly and helpful young staff.

We thought we had stumbled upon a hidden gem after a trip out for a walk around Fintry, it looked impressive and the shop had a nice display of cakes and gifts. Unfortunately the nice experience ended there! There were about 5 staff on, none of which gave friendly or acceptable customer service, I would even say we were made to feel unwelcome as staff begrudgingly spoke to us as if we were were more of an annoyance than paying customers!

Passed this cafe on the way to take a walk to the Loup of Fintry so thought we'd return for a bite to eat after the walk. As we walked towards the entrance I saw a waitress roll her eyes when she caught a glimpse of our group through the window. There was no table available for our group which was understandable as we had just rocked up on spec so we bought ice creams and free range eggs to take away. Other people who walked in after us were served before us as we stood waiting to pay for the eggs and order ices. Staff were unfriendly throughout our limited time there. Though the cakes looked really good, for me it's about the service as much as the food so can't recommend this place and we will not be back.

Came across this place whilst in the area. Didn't know what to expect, but really glad we found it. In a lovely country setting, well kept grounds. Staff very pleasant and courteous. Very pleasant surroundings to enjoy food. Onto the food which was just delicious, the tastiest food we have had in a long time. I can't praise this place enough, good to see a unique place like this, well done to all staff.

Came across this cafe by chance whilst touring in Scotland. Very busy and by all accounts popular with locals. Excellent food and friendly service.

Amazing place that we came across by accident. Out for a drive in the Campsies and stopped off here for a coffee not expecting much! It’s just lovely with great home baking and coffee! Will definitely each back to try some food and ice cream!

Loved the club sandwich but couldn’t manage cake so took a piece of lemon almond cake home and enjoyed it later, absolutely delicious. Also bought full cream milk from the special dispenser,, to die for on cereal, and a tub of gooseberry and elderflower ice cream.

My first visit here. Heard good reports from several friends so was looking forward to it. Arrived at 11.45 with the plan to have lunch. However breakfast was still available (until12.00) and when I saw French toast and bacon with maple syrup was on offer we both opted for that. Good decision. Lovely brioche bread, lots of bacon and good maple syrup. There were various scones and cakes which were freshly baked but we didn't have room for them. This time at least.

A great find. We happened across this place on a run to get the kids to sleep. It's a lovely wee cafe in a barn conversion, on a farm. They keep their own produce and the meals are to a very high standard. It's clean, well presented. Good staff, friendly.

Had a fabulous cream tea, certainly the best scone I’ve had in a long while, nice farm shop selling Katy Rodgers ice cream and nick nacks. Helpful and friendly staff, menu looked good with soups/sandwiches/paninis home baking and a varied selection of fruit teas.

Love stopping here on rides (perfect for Crow Road, Carron Valley etc loops). Always friendly and fab cakes and coffee or more substantial breakfast if you fancy it. Bacon smells always v tempting! Busy at lunchtime but have always been ok for coffee.

Been here a few times and the staff are always really friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered the french toast and bacon sandwhich.The bacon was the best ive ever had!and its always so comfortable and peaceful when we visit.

A must visit when in the Fintry area and this "cafe" has it all. Clean well laid out eating areas served by friendly efficient staff. A varied interesting menu at competitive prices well presented. Homemade baking can also be purchased to takeaway along with milk and ice cream from the farm shop. Good all round experience.

A cold, snowy afternoon on the 1st of February saw my wife and I escape the elements glowering over Fintry, and into the warmth and comfort of this charming farm courtyard restaurant. What a find! We only had a cream tea, including scones and jam as it was near closing time,, but a full afternoon tea with cakes, five different types of sandwiches and a choice of teas or coffee would have been a very reasonable £14.95 per person (.Note to self- come back soon!).The suite of buildings comprise tea rooms, a dairy, and a shop which deals in interior design, another talent of the owner! Many of their products for sale are home grown- their milk, Icecream,jams and yogurts.They boast a prestigious selection of chefs and restaurants who buy their Knockraith products. The toilets were spotless, and the decor look fresh, with a distinct French feel to the place. There were chairs and tables outside in the courtyard itself, which, I’m sure will be well used during the warmer weather. The lunch menu has homemade soups and pates, and boasts a quiche of the day. We will have to return for lunch,soon! This is a perfect venue for a “wee run in the car” over the Campsies from Lennoxtown to Fintry.

Visited for lunch with friend. Staff were friendly and polite. Cafe area kept very clean, no crumbs in sight. Nice menu. Delicious cakes.

Have been here a few times and am always impressed with the food and the service. Called in for lunch on Sunday and the pate of the day was excellent as was the service and the ambience. Everyone is super friendly and nothing is too much trouble.Stocked up on ice cream on the way out,tried the turkish delight was very impressed. Will not leave it as long to return.

Just had a wonderful lunch at the courtyard cafe. The quiche was perfect as was the fresh salad and chutney served with it. There was a great selection of freshly baked cakes to chose from. Staff were courteous, efficient and friendly. Can't fault any part of the visit. Will definitely return.

We had a wonderful time here, service was superb and the food was so delicious !

Called in for lunch following a visit last month for a coffee.

Located in a secluded setting, this is worth stopping off for a meal or snack. Inside there are several rooms, including a conservatory, with various types of seating. There is a specials board which is worth looking out for, otherwise there is a good set menu. Staff are very friendly and helpful, the food is very well cooked and presented.

The decor in the cafe is very nice as its location. Very good menu and I enjoyed the salmon and soft cheese sandwich Amazing ice cream which was gooseberry and elderflower. The place was very busy and noisy but despite that the service was good.

Visited there this afternoon. Disgraceful service and attitude from staff they basically could not be bothered! In the past I really enjoyed my visits and the food was always good. However, this place has gone way downhill. We sat at our table for at least 20+mins and when my wife attempted to order at the front desk she was told it was table service. There was no soup and when we tried to order an alternative rustic sausage roll we were told that the sausage rolls were burnt but we could try them if we wanted to! So we were up a gum tree for lunch! Not good enough we will not be back and we walked. Because this place is so far out the way I would not recommend travelling out. It was certainly not worth the drive today. We received no apology for their treatment. Moreover they found it quite humorous when we left. Customer service 0 points!

This little cafe is an absolute gem. Beautiful setting, so tastefully decorated and the food is simply amazing. Everything is fresh and tastes delicious. We were lucky to get a table for our Sunday lunch so will definitely book ahead next time. Highly recommended.

We had lunch here twice! Lovely tea, sandwiches, soups and desserts, in a wonderful setting. Everything was freshly prepared and just delicious. Service was wonderful, too. This is a delightful place and I can't wait to go back!

Lovely afternoon tea everything fresh and beautifully presented. Staff very polite and attentive. Would recommend the afternoon tea it's well worth the visit. We will be back

Enjoyed a wonderful tea mid-afternoon on a Bank Holiday. We managed to get the very last table available - this is a busy spot and by the end of our visit we understood why!

Decided on a day trip to Fintry, to hit this recommended Farmstyle Cafe. The place is like a Fairy Cottage, with inviting, CLEAN, outdoor tables. The Minute you walk inside, you know you're in for a treat. The Sunlit, bright modern, but cozy and airy Dining areas, look as though they were modernised that Day, everything is so fresh and spotlessly clean. The furnishings, tables and chairs, some upholstered Armchairs facing Large Windows, are the perfect setting for a Coffee/Tea and a chat. My companion, and I, both had the Scambled Eggs with Salmon and Toast, served with a little Butter Pot. Everything was beautifully presented, freshly prepared, lovely and tasty. I had a Mocha, my companion opting for a Pot of Tea. After Lunch, a couple of slices of their Cakes, mine a Coffee Sponge, her's, a Vanila Sponge. Both were very nice. Mine was just that tiny bit on the dry side, being absolutely honest. However, that did not prevent me scoffing the lot. As others have mentioned, the drive from Glasgow, in our case, was so beautiful, while Rain abounded throughout the day in Glasgow, we got Sun along the way their, and sitting at a windowed corner table for two, the Blue Skies and Sun, blessed our stay the entire time! So lucky! Definitely take the time to visit this fantastic Cafe. They make their own Ice Cream, and there is a Shop of lovely artefacts and Country Design articles, plus some locally handmade artisan Jams, Chutneys, and The like. I ended-up buying a bottle of "SmokedGarlic Balsalmic Vinegar"! SERVICE: 4, FOOD: 4, VALUE: 4

Excellent, interesting menu. Fresh food, good service, pleasant wait staff, beautiful decor. Buzzing with customers on a Monday lunch time though never felt rushed. Enjoyed seeing the hens walk past window beside our table.

Out for a drive and had planned to go to another cafe further on but saw the sign to the Courtyard cafe - so glad we did. Everything about it was just lovely. Friendly staff. Tasty food. Lovely surroundings. Very reasonably priced. What more could you want.

We always enjoy our visits to the Courtyard Cafe. The service is great and the staff are friendly. They make their own ice cream and it really is a must have when you visit. The setting is really peaceful and relaxing to spend an hour or so.

Very nice little cafe. Good food. Excellent cakes. Helpful staff and good ambience. would recommend. May need to book if a large group.

Popped in today for lunch with the in laws and a family member who was on holiday from Tasmania. Absolutely first class lunch an we will definitely be returning.

My husband and I went out of our way to lunch here after reading the reviews.

I have visited here on a number of locations . It is a lovely drive out to Fintry from any direction and the Courtyard Cafe is set within farm buildings on the outskirts. Lovely inside . The staff are good and always good as is the food. You can't ask for anymore from a cafe. It's lovely inside as well and views onto the courtyard or farm from the tables.

I have had both just a formal tea and lunch at different occasions while on vacation. I always love to eat here because it is so wonderfully cheerful and the food is delicious. The baked goods are so tempting. They also offer gluten free options which are equally delicious. They offer a variety of menu options. The quiche was amazing and I also bought their gluten free raspberry sponge cake which had the best icing I have ever tasted. They also have homemade ice creams which they make on site at their dairy and a lovely gift shop. It is popular with locals and tourists. The service is top notch and friendly.

Just the right amount of yummy locally produced food. Perfect for lunch or teatime. And don't miss the homemade cakes, ice creams and yogurts.

A hidden gem of a place we only discovered a couple of months ago just of the main road through the village of Fintry well worth visiting for a meal. Its not the cheapest place in the world but the quality is excellent its very busy at the weekend but a bit quitter during the week but still can be busy. The staff are polite and efficient and the food fresh and well presented. The café has the advantage of being on a working farm with a dairy so the dairy products are really fresh and tasty as are the eggs the have their own hens. Only down side its not great for those a bit unsteady on their feet as the shop and eating areas are on different levels, though the café does have a disabled entry and the toilets are designed around wheelchair access. Overall I would recommend the courtyard for a stop on your day out traveling the rural areas of Stirlingshire.

Went for Mother's Day lunch food was delicious nice atmosphere. You can also get a nice glass or bottle of wine with your meal. Will be back again

My friend took me here today what a hidden gem it really is beautiful.food is nice and staff friendly I am going to take my partner here as i will be back.

Stopped here for lunch yesterday, managed to get a seat in the courtyard itself. Wonderful ambience. Place was very busy but service was very good and attentive. Soup and sandwich deal for both of us, very tasty and a nice touch to have home made sauces in the fillings. Price reasonable for the quality. Pushed for time or we would have had a longer look around the farm, looks very interesting. Will definitely return when in the area.

What a surprise. Turned in when we saw the sign by the roadside and were delighted to find this excellent cafe. Great espresso coffee, delicious scones set in a pretty cafe in a working dairy. Well worth stopping for.

I don't think I have ever felt so guilty asking for a soy cappuccino.....or as disappointed that I couldn't eat the gorgeous ice cream...it is a dairy and proud of it and so it should be. Beautifully decorated and situated with lovely genuine staff...thanks!

I cycled from Perth to Fintry and this cafe was my half way point, so it was a welcome break. The food and the service were excellent and high recommended.

I only stopped for a coffee and a cake, which were both very nice. Lovely country decor, very smartly dressed and professional staff many of whom appeared to be preparing for a busy day ahead. The breakfast and lunch menus both looked excellent and I'd be keen to return and give them a try.

Found this cafe by accident last year on our way home from a small trip up north. We drove towards Fintry and it was off the beaten track. Set in beautiful countryside. Lovely surroundings. The food is delicious and the home baking first class. Good value for money. Have gone back time and time again whenever I get a chance with either friends or family. Would highly recommend. Keep up the high standards. Well done !

Superb location just outside of Fintry , Lots of light options for lunch , ranging from soups , sandwiches and salads. Visited by chance on Mothers day the only table available was outside, which was great as the weather was spectacular for the time of year. Impressed with the whole set up , will definitely be back to sample more of what is on offer.

My boyfriend and I regularly go to the Courtyard cafe. The drive from Stirling is lovely and the country scenery is amazing.

Been coming here for years but dawned on me today I've never reviewed it. Real away from it all location, tastefully decorated and consistently good whether it's just a bacon sandwich or a full lunch. Decent coffee and the cakes and scones are excellent - best paradise slice anywhere. If you are in the area it's definitely worth a visit.

4 of us went along to the Courtyard Cafe on Sunday and we all had the Tomato and Red Pepper Soup which was absolutely delicious - served with creme fraiche and lovely home-made bread. We then had coffees (mine was the Gingerbread Latte which was brilliant) and some Carrot Cake, although one of us had the ginger and melon ice-cream. Everything here is home-made and they have even started selling fresh milk, where you can buy a 1 ltr milk bottle or bring your own container! They also have a lovely gift-shop on the premises including some household goods such as lamps, small furniture and really nice collectables. Will be back again soon!

My wife and I were at a loose end and decided to go for a run in the car into the Fintry hills with the intention to stop for a coffee somewhere . The weather was awful and we couldn't really get out the car and go for a walk at the Carron Valley reservoir so we pressed on and drove through Fintry itself in search of a major road! We were determined to find somewhere for our coffee and as luck would have it we took the B822 Kippen road out of Fintry and on our left saw this sign at the end of a farm road. It didn't look much, but we thought we'd try it anyway. Once inside out of the rain we were surprised to find a very clean and pleasant cafe and the menu looked OK. We ordered a pot of tea, a panini and I a ploughmans. The latter was quite exceptional, with lots of fresh trimmings and all home made at that! Toilets were spotless. Well done folks!

This is a lovely little gem of a cafe tucked away in the tiny village of Fintry. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a choice of tables. We chose to sit in the conservatory. The whole place is tastefully decorated, homely, very clean and welcoming. The food is amazing and affordably priced. They were accommodating when I requested a minor alteration to my chooser dish. The staff were polite, friendly and attentive whilst not being intrusive. I'd highly recommend a visit to this lovely place.

Katie Rodger's dairy farm produces its own low-processed milk in fill-you-own-bottle form, ice-cream, butter and crowdie cheese. We've had lunch here sevral times and it's always good. There's a conservatory and a slate courtyard with tables outside. Soups, sandwiches, toasties and salads are all very good quality, fresh with local and home-made ingredients.

Interesting wee place. Lovely location. Enjoyed soup and sandwiches. Dairy products looked interesting.

We were lost out of our minds in the middle of nowhere, and saw a sign that said Homemade Ice Cream. So we went in. Great little cafe , part of a working farm. When you look up the hill, you think you're in heaven, the view is magnificent. Great interior. I gather the owner is also an interior designer. Fairly large inside . I gather hey get a lot of folks from Glasgow to come here. Ice cream was great and we ordered sandwich's to go for lunch. Really neat little place. Give them a try.

Beautiful place, stunning surroundings and wonderful food. We went for breakfast followed by wonderful homemade cake and their own homemade ice cream as the farm cafe is also a creamery. The cafe is beautifully decorated and set in gorgeous surroundings and we ate in the courtyard as the weather was good. This place is off the beaten track though, and we wouldn't have found it if we hadn't been with family who live locally. However, even though it is hidden in the Stirlingshire countryside, it is very busy as all the locals clearly know about it. The creamery produces pasteurised non homogenised milk from their own herd of grass fed cows and the milk can be bought at the cafe. The melon and ginger ice cream made from this wonderful milk is the food of heaven!

Had a lovely family meal at The Courtyard Cafe. Chose to eat indoors as too many wasps around the outside tables on the day. Enjoyed a relaxing meal from the good range of choices on the menu. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Will definitely be back for a further visit.

Isn't it lovely when you are out for a drive for some fresh air and you stumble across a place that you know you will return to again and again? Lovely setting, beautifully prepared food. Just made our day.

Stopped off here on a long cycle and despite it being almost closing time the staff couldn't have been more welcoming. They were more than happy to have us and at no time were we rushed as we had a coffee. This is a lovely place and I would highly recommend a visit. I can't comment on the cakes etc but they did look great

Visited on the Sunday for a spot of lunch. It was surprisingly quiet at first but got busy quite quickly. The food here is very nice, the only quibble is that I feel it is quite expensive. The produce was very fresh and portions were fine, all served by attentive polite but not overbearing staff. Some of the produce is very local i.e from the farm the courtyard belongs to. The ice cream looked delicious but I managed to stop myself, the same goes for the cakes which looked particularly yummy, again though was being good. However heard from other customers who were really enjoying them!

Went looking for local cheese , they had some soft cheese like a cream cottage cheese but no hard cheese, beautiful ice creams , didn't try the yogurts but they looked good. Lovely setting , plenty of parking.

Visited for lunch today. Lovely setting & very pretty views. Food was good, lots of lovely cakes etc on offer. Prices average. Lots of staff

We were told about this place by friends from the south of England who happened across it by chance. Nice countryside drive and in a nice location on a working farm as is evidenced by the farm smells when you park the car. Pleasant welcome; quaint, clean and well decorated; instead of one large dining room there are several smaller ones which is good. Service tended to be a bit slow but worth the wait. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food at reasonable prices with plenty to choose from on the menu. The service was very friendly and quick.

Lovely little atmospheric cafe, with very nice floral courtyard. Menu had many interesting choices and the kitchen were flexible in catering for individual preferences on their dishes. And nice little gift shop and gallery in addition makes it well worth the trip out there.

My husband and I were on our way to Fintry when I saw the sign for this little gem in the middle of not very much apart from great views. On a sunny day we sat in the courtyard, enjoyed a bacon, Brie and cranberry sauce panini and homemade pancakes with maple syrup and homemade ice cream. The pot of tea was of a good size and tasty. The service was great as were the surroundings. Definitely worth the journey!!

What a find! Amazing cafe nestled in the hills just outside Fintry. Delightful staff. Food pricy but most certainly worth every penny. Good straightforward menu. Ideal for lunch or coffee and cake. Ample parking. Well worth the drive out to Fintry.

We stumbled across this place a few years ago, now we visit every year with relatives who visit from Spain. They insist on going! Home made soup is delicious and the cakes are amazing. Staff are lovely. Great wee cafe.
