The Crianlarich Hotel Restaurant in Stirling

Very nice hotel. A good pint served by very good bar staff. 3 front=of-house staff seemed a bit more off-hand when we arrived. Not a big deal, but we asked wher ethe bar was, they broke off their conversation for a moment to tell us and then went back to talking - nobody got up and offered to show us through. That was a bit disappointing given this hotel is quite empty off season so the front of house perhaps need training in welcoming guests. That being said, based on what I saw, I would be happy to stay here to try it out properly - so may come back if walking in area.

Stopped here for dinner with my sons and had an outstanding meal. Thai green veg curry was perfectly spiced. Veg was perfectly cooked. Service was exemplary.

Probably one of the worst meals we've ever had on one of our bike tours. The service was shockingly slow, so much so that we noticed some dinner guests just walk out. Our group of 8 had booked for dinner a few weeks in advance, but the staff were struggling to coordinate any orders & some of us were served 40 mins after the first orders came out. I mentioned to the waiting staff that the delays were noticeable & it was embarrassing - the manager's response was that they were short staffed - I said that they should have told us that there would be a 30 minute wait for orders & we would have been prepared. They thanked us for the feedback - isn't that basic hospitality training or etiquette? We found 2 or 3 meals to be bland, when they should have been spicy. Try the pub about 300 yards up the road - that was fantastic.

Отличный ресторан при гостинице. Хорошие местные блюда, всё вкусно. Хорошее обслуживание и атмосфера на высоте.

Had an excellent meal at the Crianlarich Hotel Restaurant two nights ago. The dinning room atmosphere was great. Service was top notch and it was so unexpected to find such great food a rural Best Western hotel restaurant. Hotel and restaurant is absolutely 5 star.

Good for filling the belly with warm and standard fare. Room too impersonal for my taste, but service friendly and food fresh&warm

We were staying nearby and decided take away pizza was a good idea. Sadly it wasnt. 1. Online information incorrect - prices charged were the restaurant prices - When challenged - the staff said " oh thats wrong online, always is" 2. When asked it they were doing pizza tonight- " we are a bit busy, let me ask kitchen". I identified that if they were,I needed to know as local shop closing in 15 mins. I was told it would be 15-20 mins 3. 35 mins later and local shop now shut, my food arrived. 20 potato wedges for £3.50 and not warm. pizzas flatter than roadkill . The image does not really show how flat it was. 4. also while waiting in bar, listening to the guests complaining about their rooms too. No evidence of management - saw three young ladies barely out of school, if they were. So got home, having spent £50 on 3 pizzas and 20 wedges- it wasnt an enjoyable dinner. The images of the pizza on this listing bear no resemblance to what i got. I should have driven to Glasgow for an hour to get a dominos. Dont eat here.

Best Western at its finest. We were pleasantly surprised, classy & comfortable throughout.. the best sleep in two weeks of sleeping in different beds every night. The staff were classy, intelligent as well as accommodating. The food was excellent with a generous breakfast buffet that would satisfy any palate. Stay here if you can.

The dining room is a bit cavernous, but we were served competently and in a timely fashion … we were advised to arrive at our booked time, because of limited staff resources. This was a story we had heard throughout Scotland and the Isles. However, we had a correct sirloin steak, with trimmings, and a good choice of wines by the glass. I’d happily eat there again.

We had pre-booked a table for 9 a few weeks in advance. We sat down at 8pm but noticed the service was pretty slow & a couple of customers seemed to be getting a little frustrated about the delay in being served. When our orders were taken we were told that there was not chicken, so a few things weren't available. Some of our main courses didn't arrive until 10pm, with about a 10-15 minute gap between some of us being served. The venison didn't come with a jus as advertised, but peppercorn sauce (the person who ordered hadn't been asked about an alternate) & the potato roost was hard. The homemade beef pie had a massive puff pastry top, but very little beef in the 4 portions ordered. The chilli con carne was very bland & inedible. We mentioned the problems with the waiting staff & were advised that 2 staff hadn't turned up in the morning & they had problems in the kitchen. We told the waiter that we should have been informed about a likely wait when we ordered (managed our expectations), but the poor quality of the food is another matter. The manageress knocked the cost of the chilli from the bill, but we had one member of our party who hadn't eaten! Other customers were also expressing their disappointment, so all in all, not a place we would return to or recommend.

Had a nice evening at the hotel. Bedroom very clean and comfortable. Food in the restaurant in the evening was excellent and breakfast in the morning was also excellent. The restaurant staff were fabulous. We were well looked after by Kristen who was very pleasant and friendly. The male waiter was also very good, friendly and efficient. The only reason I dropped a star was the fact that our room was freezing when we arrived and although the receptionist adjusted it, the radiator didn't get warm until about 9 in the evening. The helpful lady on reception did put a portable heater in our room so we couldn't ask for better service. Overall a lovely stay.

Just back from tyndrum holiday park great site very clean shower are brilliant new owners are absolutely brilliant help with anything nothing to much for them great dog walks pub just 5 minutes away great meals to will be back soon before end off season thank you

arrived here after a very long and soggy leg of the WHW eagerly looking forward to a little luxury, how wrong we were! Our room was small, dark and very cold, there were cobwebs hanging from the ceiling and after several attempts with the thermostat we were unable to get the heating to work. After some time we were given a small plug in radiator, which was completely inadequate. We showered to get warm and headed to the restaurant hopeful of a nice warm meal to compensate. Again, how wrong we were, we were greeted by a waiter who calmly informed us of what amounted to over a 1/3 of the menu that wasn't available including any pizzas despite there being a huge sign outside claiming there excellence. When I enquired why there was such a limited menu, I was met with a very curt and rude response. My vegetarian chilli was entirely tasteless disguised by an enthusiastic amount of chilli heat and the accompaniment of Nacho's was replaced with Naan? On a positive note, the veggie breakfast was very tasteful and the complimentary drying room, complete with newspapers for our wet boots was a real bonus and the reason that I gave 2 stars and not 1.

We were walking the West Highland Way and chose this Hotel for having our evening meal. Cannot fault the service, choice, quality and value of the food we received. We weren’t sure we would be welcomed as we had rucksacks and walking shoes on but the complete opposite.

Great food, kind of the only game in town, but no matter - it was amazing!! Friendly staff and awesome bar service!

After a day's working up on the A82,I stumbled across this place by chance in the hope of finding somewhere decent to eat for myself and a work colleague. I was drawn in by the Pizza sign on the window,so ventured in to see what...

The only downside of our visit was it was for only one night and that was our fault. A fantastic hotel that is superb in every way. The staff , the food , the room , the dining room, the breakfast room and most importantly...

Just spent 3 nights here. Lovely hotel, attentive and friendly staff. Loved the wooden panelled restaurant and log burners, created a restful atmosphere. The hotel was very quiet whilst we were there. Food was pretty good but can definitely recommend the Cullen Skink as others...

We ate here twice on our recent trip to Scotland! Had some lovely food - I loved the chicken especially and the raspberry creme brulee - and fantastic service too!

I think I'm right, the food here seems to be the pre-prepared and portioned type, what I would expect to see in a Wetherspoon's/pub chain. The chicken pakora was a deep red/purple colour that had been deep fried to death. The burger was ok but...

WE were on a long day on the West HIghland Way so the thought of an extra mile and a half jaunt down into Crianlarich for lunch was a bit risky, but the food at the Best Western restaurant was so worth it. Wonderful cool...

Booked this hotel as part of a couple days break to celebrate our 2nd Wedding Anniversary as we were unable to do anything for our first due to lockdown. Have never stayed before and had no idea what to expect. Spent a fabulous day at...

I stopped here for a steak dinner before catching the train to Glasgow and it was lovely, very quiet though. The food was good the service was very polite and the price was just what one would expect. If I find myself in Crianlarich again...

We ate here on 4 nights as part of a DB&B deal. The Restaurant is spacious and comfortable, with an impressive wood burning stove. The menu was the same every day (perhaps due to Covid circumstances) but there is a reasonable choice, reasonable portions, well...

Just back from this hotel, wasn't sure what to expect. It looks old fashioned from the outside, but step inside and it is lovely. Has two restaurants, one for dinner and one for breakfast. Both are different but decorated to their own character. Upstairs to...

Booked a table after being advised it fills up quickly. They offer various pizzas although I wouldn’t exactly call them stone baked as per the menu, seems more like a frozen pizza! Done the job. Covid measures in place, staff very friendly. Very spaced out

Great location to overnight on my way North (and for a cheeky cup of tea on my way south). Bathroom close to the end of its life and will benefit from a refit this winter. But otherwise great spot. Decent food. Service slick considering the...

The food at the hotel was up to its usual high standard. The hotel is managing the covid situation well with clear signage and staff using appropriate equipment.

Visited this hotel a few years ago & very nice to do so again. The hotel has clear social distance signs & measures in place, to make you feel safer & the staff wear protective masks. Price- very reasonable for the standard of accomodation. Room-...

Stayed in the hotel for 10 nights and found all the staff very friendly and helpful. Accommodation was excellent, the hotel was always warm and cosy. The meals were vert good and a good specials board. Well worth a visit.

Not having planned particularly well, we were glad to find The Crianlarich at just the right time in our journey. The dining room was more or less empty, a quiet lunchtime in late December. Despite that, it was warm & welcoming (decor a little bit “classic highland”, stuffed animals et al). Kids had pizza, and were very approving (slightly thicker bases than they’re used to). Grownups had soups and fish (the latter being especially good). All was served really quickly, but very obviously freshly cooked. We wanted a quick and delicious stop on a long journey, and this fitted the bill very well.

While staying in the area on vacation, we originally saw the sign for take-away pizza, and then came back for dinner the next eveningI had the Mushroom cheeseburger, chips and cole slaw.My wife had the Steak Pie. This came with the beef and sauce separate from the flaky roll. Sometimes, this is served as a “pie” with the beef enclosed in the crust. Also came with a mound of excellent mashed potatos (chips are another option) and mixed, steamed vegetables.Both entrees were very good. The takeaway pizza was good as well. Lots of cheese which we former Wisconsinites just love.Good service, reasonable prices.There is also a nice local pub between the Best Western hotel and the restaurant. Friendly service and good local conversation

Arriving late after a long journey from the South of England, we were ready for a relaxing and nourishing meal. We were not disappointed! We chose from a broad range menu, and the whole meal was very pleasant, and served professionally.

Visited 3 times in the week we stayed in Scotland. The rib eye steaks were excellent. Pizza, gammon and steak pie all very good and hot. Staff very friendly and welcoming, relaxing atmosphere, warm and cosy. Will return when up there again.

We stayed at this hotel for 3 nights it was very comfortable clean and warm our room225 was very spacious at the front of the hotel with a nice view Our meals were very good breakfast was buffet style a large selection of continental breakfast or porridge also a menu for Full Scottish or various fish dishes All the staff were warm and friendly nothing was too much trouble for them Prices are very reasonable We would definitely use this hotel again

On arriving at the hotel we were greeted with a warm welcome from manager Kenny and his receptionist ,who informed us of meal times ,things to do and see ,this warm greeting helps to make your stay very relaxing . Food is 100% food staff ,bar staff all very friendly willing to help you ,. This hotel is in easy access to visit Glen Coe ,Inverness ,many more interesting places to visit . To have a hotel running with wonderful staff must go down to having a wonderful Manager Kenny ,this man is a wonderful ambassador to Best Western ,well done to Crianlarich Hotel

I don't think that there was enough staff to deliver hot food to the table. Hence, plates were cold.

We arrived at 1.15. We wanted some lunch. The restaurant was a quarter full. We sat in one of the window tables, the other two also being occupied by couples. Waitress and manager arrived to advise we could sit there. Why ? It was a table for 4 of course . Not reserved for anyone in particular but they wanted to keep it free in case a hungry foursome arrived some time soon. But the place is practically empty. Shrug. What about the couples at the other window tables - one of whom has just paid the bill. “They sat down before we could stop them.” Pythonesque but not funny.

This restaurant was a pleasure. The interior is attractive and the staff is welcoming and attentive. A bit pricey but worth it. All in all it was a pleasant experience and we would go back. There are several small rooms near the full bar where you can eat as well.

Great food and fantastic staff in a lovely setting. Very professional and reasonable prices. Warm atmosphere

Delicious puddings and well prepared mains. Service was reasonably fast even though there were a number of diners.

Had dinner on two nights and loved every mouthful. Would recommend shin of beef, steak in fact everything. Highly recommend white chocolate and raspberry creme brulee which is lush.

Ambiente del ristorante confortevole, discreta diponibilità di scelta. Piatti buoni, ottimi dolci, prezzi nella media

Beautiful decor in this hotel although upstairs carpet could do with a shampoo. Drying room available for our wet walking gear which was great. Staff were reasonably pleasant and helpful. Hairdryer in the room was not great for my masses of hair, it took forever to dry. Evening meal was very tasty and reasonably priced. The breakfast was my favourite part and had fresh pastries as well as all the other essentials. Within a 5 mins walking distance to wee shop and local pub was a bit further along the road. Friendly locals and a stunning setting as we set off in the morning on our walk. Probably stay here again.

Went for a family dinner drawn in by the kids spotting the big neon Pizza sign outside. The 3 kids have pizza more often than I would care to admit but none finished them which says enough. I tasted it myself and the tomato base seemed more like a puree than a pasata and was very strongly flavoured which overpowered the pizza. Perhaps the chef was over thinking the pizza when a simple sauce would be better. A real shame as the steak pie the adults both had was pretty good.

There were not many customers at the time but the service was quite slow. Menu had some good choices but the food was just mediocre.

Homely feel to restaurant and all food over four days was well cooked. Staff are quite obliging and very responsive to any friendliness towards them

From the moment we walked in soaked to the bone we were made feel welcome and treated with utmost respect. We went back for dinner and the expert service from Mary made the delicious food even more appetising.

We were traveling from Fort William to Stirling in a cold rain. This was a charming stop for warm food. The interior was pleasant and cozy. We had steak pie, beef shin, soups and sandwiches. All were good.

Excellent food, great menu choice and fantastic service. Friendly efficient staff. Highly recommend.

Wir haben am Ende einer Wanderwoche auf dem WHW dort zu Abend gegessen und waren positiv überrascht. Feine Vorspeisen, überraschend leckere Pizzas und kreative Nachspeisen. Dazu eine gute Flasche Wein und ein freundlicher und zuvorkommender Service.

Nice friendly service and good food after a long day. My friends had pizza, both looked yummy. I had fish and chips, the fillet of fish had been halved and I was only given 1/2! I was very hungry and could have easily eaten the other piece!

This was a good stop for us on the way back from hiking up Ben More. We were a little early but the staff were very accomodating in preparing a few takeaway pizzas for us. The pizzas were a quality and the selection with local ingredients combined made some great flavours.

Lovely room and hotel! Scenery amazing. Food was great and staff were very friendly. Only thing I'd do if I came back would be a room at rear of building. The road outside can be busy and a bit noisy.

The food for breakfast was varied ,hot,interesting and the staff couldn't be more helpful. Dinner at night was outstanding hot,, good quality and well presented.

What can I say, perfect service by Milda and the food was really good with bigger than average portions. We ate in the hotel both nights we stayed which is unusual as we normally eat out. It felt there was no need.

My husband and I have just spent a lovely weekend in the Crianlarich Hotel.

We have spent a fantastic weekend at CRIANLARICH HOTEL the check in was simple the room was big and very clean it looked like the hotel has had a make over as the heating looks very modern and very easy to use the corridor have all very new LED lighting and very bright and clean. We had dinner on our first night the restaurant was lovely the staff very nice indeed the food was excellent,so much so we decided to book for another meal on our second night. This is a great location as GLENCOE is just just 30 miles away stunning scenery and plenty to do. the hotel also has a " drying room" if you get caught out in the weather which is a great idea. And a bus stop is right outside the hotel so you can get there by bus very easily. I would imagine this hotel will book up very quickly in summertime as the location is superb........ This is WELL WORTH A VISIT, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.

We visited as a party of 10 for the Murder Mystery weekend. The menu as you would expect was fairly restricted but the food was good, The duo of Salmon was very pleasant the chicken main was fine and a good size portion and the cheese pleasantly was not straight out of the fridge.

Rather like the previous restaurant I reviewed nothing disappointed but nothing shone. Service could have been a bit more attentive and food was good: Cullen Skink and a salmon Caesar. The Caesar was enormous and had whole pieces of garlic - that was a first for me!

The Crianlarich was fantastic from start to finish. Deborah at the reception desk was very helpful, the room was lovely and the hotel overall was perfect. The bar staff were a great laugh and the servers during dinner were very professional. Kenny the manager was fantastic. I can't fault the place in the slightest.

Great staff, helpful and a surprisingly good menu, after being somewhat disappointed with reception, the room and the beer, we were really pleased with our evening meal experience.

As a business traveller, I have stayed in many hotels of all price ranges across the north and west of Scotland. My recent stay at Crianlarich certainly is a stand out. A small but great team - quick check in, friendly bar service and both dinner and breakfast service was exceptional and very tasty. My room was one of the recently reburbished and it was incredibly comfortable - high quality linens, comfy bed and nice shower (fluffy towels!) It’s important for me to have good WiFi service for work purposes and I was able to connect easily and had good and consistent signal strength. Will definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Usually stop off here for breakfast with work lovely porridge, one cooked breakfast and plenty tea coffee cereals and pastries.

4th visit to this hotel for dinner very disappointed this time ordered prawns in pip oil but it was served in a sweet chilli sauce. 2 people ordered the veg curry with prawns no veg and more like a soup. The rest of us ordered steaks not given steak knives to use. I ordered the shortbread dessert more cream than anything else. Ordered Brandeis not in brandy glasses ordered port served in half pint tumblers. Felt sorry for the staff who had to face the customers with what they had.

The meal was exactly as described on menu. The staff were attentive and the atmosphere relaxed. I would return and definately recommend.

This is the second time to have lunch at this restaurant, in face it is within Crianlarich Hotel - Best Western. Big space, service and food are ok.

We ate here as it was part of hotel we stayed at. Warm room - Scottish hunting lodge. Food was limited but okay. Service was some of the worst. Inattention, lack of coordination, food arrived a bit late and not hot. Nice staff but lack professionalism and training.

Stayed overnight at this hotel and ate dinner in the restaurant. Good food and a nice homely atmosphere. Reminds you of a lodge-type eating place. There is a cute little bar as well. Staff very nice.

Alloggiati all'Hotel e considerata la pioggia....abbiamo scelto di cenare nel ristorante dell'Hotel: cucina tipica scozese, piatti abbondanti e buoni con prezzi accettabili.

Como el nombre del título indica, peor atención del personal imposible. 20 minutos esperando para ni siquiera ser atendidos teniendo además en cuenta que únicamente había 4-5 mesas con personas comiendo. Nos marchamos después de estar esperando sin ser atendidos, no lo recomiendo para nada.

Auf der Durchreise hielten wir hier für das Mittagessen an. Die Bedienung war freundlich und brachte Getränke und Essen wirklich zügig. Mein Salat war sehr köstlich, richtig empfehlenswert ist aber die Pizza. Die Preise sind moderat und insgesamt macht das Restaurant einen guten Eindruck auf mich.

Going here for dinner, just allows you to follow in the footsteps of Centuries of prior guests. The staff all wear kilts which is cool. Lots of obscure and varied decorative items give the place a quirky charm. You can dine in the bar, in the restaurant or outdoors if you wish. Service was great. Ambiance is cool. Enjoy your meal with travelers visiting from all over the world.

Stayed at the Hotel for 3 nights and ate at the Restaurant 3 times.

The restaurant is part of the Lodge and is very convenient. The food was good and the service was friendly.

The restaurant has an English library feel and would have been fun if the food was good. We had the Steak & Prawns (rubbery low end cut of meat and frozen rubbery prawns) and the Portobello Burger. We made the best of it and our waitress was friendly. maybe the chef was off for the night. Would not recommend or go back.

We casein for a light lunch and took the Callen Skink and the carrot soup. The carrot soup was extremely bland. The Callen Skink was decent. The bread rolls were far too small. It filled a hole though.

Ik heb heerlijk gegeten. De grote dining room is het aanzien waard. Het trio van zalm vooraf was heerlijk, de caesar salad met gerookte zalm eveneens. Rood fruit met vanille ijs toe en een goede koffie maakten het helemaal af. Ik heb gelijk voor morgen gereserveerd.

We had food and drinks in the Crianlarich Hotel restaurant and found the service impeccable and the food delicious. The food was served promptly without fuss and was very affordable.

Now run by Best Western. Came in for dinner. Seemed to be the place where most people came. Food was good. Pizzas looked to be the most popular and the ones we had (12") were very good. Had local beers. Friendly staff. Can't miss it really on junction of the main road and public convenience. If you don't want to tea in a pub again then this is the place to come.

Plenty of choices to suit all needs, dogs allowed in the bar. Open log fires, peaceful and quite lounges

We ate here during our stay at the hotel late March. The food was excellent, the shortbread Sunday was to die for! The staff were very helpful without being in your face. We would definitely eat here again!

Stopped enroute whilst venturing north. Ordered pizza which was nice. Soup and sandwich options were varied. Ordered the smoked salmon sandwich with Cullen skink. Hearty portions and tasty. One of our group also had the BLT sandwich and again a large tasty portion. Really pleasant, traditional room, coupled with happy staff makes it worthwhile visiting

Enjoyed a very pleasant dinner here. The service was very good and the food was well cooked, well presented and tasted great.

We had booked this stay months ago and had to re-arrange due to the bad weather. The hotel was very accommodating and we were able to re-schedule. Lovely comfortable rooms and everywhere was very warm, although the bedroom perhaps a little too warm for our liking. We ate in the hotel restaurant and every meal we had was lovely, well presented and staff very professional and friendly.

I'll give 4 stars because of the lady that served us, she was impeccable. (would have given 3 stars if we would have only been served by the other waiter. He was actually kinda rude and always in a rush)

Wonderful meal, superb service. Staff very friendly and efficient. Would definitely eat there again.

Place is pretty inconsistant. Pizza was good, veg curry absolutely terrible and bland. One of the places with a very weird type of table service, very formal etc, while having simple bar food on the menu, that dsoesnt really make much sense. Considering the price, I would rate it 2.5/5 , will give 3 just because of good beers on tap.

Lovely, tasty, warm, plentiful food served by friendly, courteous staff with a smile on their face. Nothing was too much trouble and it was as good a dining experience I have had in a long time. The salmon and chilli prawn starters were excellent and the chicken and black pudding main was superb. The desserts were also very good.
