The Faerie Tree Inn in Stirling

This is our second visit, as we had a meal here last year. Still excellent service from sitting outside (sunny day, yes actually sunny in Scotland) we were served quickly with drinks and on return order taken, first class service throughout our meal, and can honestly say food was perfect, and well presented and very tasty. Would definitely recommend, and be visiting again if in Area again

We stopped by for drinks after a nice walk into Aberfoyle and also decided to order some snacks. On arrival we chose a couple of tables outside and when someone approached us after a little while, we were told to go to the bar and order drinks. We then chose a couple of sides to share and took a while to get someones attention to order. We ordered the sides and waited quite a while. Finally the food arrived and they got our order wrong. They brought out a main meal instead of 2 sides. They blamed the 'new guy' and then proceeded to tell us the main meal was the same anyway and a better deal. So left us with it which included a little salad and some coleslaw, which we weren't going to eat so was wasted. We realised that the 2 sides were actually a few pounds cheaper and then noticed another table receiving a side of chips which was about double the amount we had on our plate! Overall service was terrible - didn't apologise for their mistake and still tried to charge us extra for a dish we didn't order! Would not return and would'nt recommend.

They gave priorities to the tour people. We wasted a lot of time here until realizing that they will cook for the tourist first even we came before. Poor staff. Poor managing the queue. No apologies, nothing. Don’t come.

Accueille très moyen. Commande de deux plats simples sur la carte. Apéritif terminé depuis une demi-heure sans retour. Plusieurs tables aux alentours servies avant nous (vraisemblablement des habitués) ! Au bout de trois quarts d’heure, nous avons craqué et sommes partis. Donc pas d’avis sur la qualité des plats. En tout cas, nous ne reviendrons jamais!

We visited for a quick drink though the pub wasn't open when we arrived. We sat outside and waited 15 minutes until it did. We helped ourselves to the water bowls for the dogs (what a lovely touch). We were then offered menus form staff but husband had gone in to order from bar. As the menu looked great we asked if we could book for dinner in the evening for 7 plus 3 dogs. They kindly accepted our booking. When arrived back for dinner we found parking was limited but staff came out ans navigated spaces for us (in the rain too). We were seated immediately and subsequently served. We all ordered diff choices from main menu and desserts. All were delicious. Could not fault a single thing. The place was super busy but the staff dealt with the pressure. They were excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Decided to see if we could get a table after heading home from Loch Chon. It was already booked out as Easter Sunday but the staff managed to get us a table. Great food and very happy and helpful staff. Good food.lots of parking spaces.

Staying at the nearby holiday park popped by for some food , great atmosphere very friendly helpful staff and the food was lovely with generous portions, plenty to choose from and also a specials board for something different.

Went to The Fairie Tree for Mother’s Day. Had booked a table for 4 weeks in advance. Was seated quickly. Drinks order taken quickly as was our food order. Menu is basic pub grub nothing fancy not al a carte or anything. My 3 teenagers wanted the haddock and chips and I opted for the chicken and leek. A large party of 8 came in and was seated near us. Their starters came out very quickly. We had waited 20 minutes by this point since ordering. My son who was working in a similar place mentioned maybe they put their orders in ahead. 50 - to an hour passed before I managed to catch a waitress and ask where our food was and we had been waiting sometime now. She went off to find out. Came back and said the order had not gone through from the front of house computer to the back to the chef. No apology, nothing. We just had to wait for our food. Another 20 minutes our food arrived. Decent enough. As I said basic pub grub. Then my son wanted a dessert . Took 10-15 minutes to get someone’s attention, he ordered the sticky tofffe pudding. Again waiting on one persons dessert for 30 minutes the place was not busy now. And I might add not extremely busy earlier either. We were about to tell the waitress that was cleaning tables behind us to just forget about our dessert when the chef came out and said something too her. We had caught her eye by this time to tell her this and she abruptly told us the chef had just told her it was ready!!! So my son said ok bring it out. It was good and he enjoyed it. No apology from her for it’s lateness. Finally asked for the bill, half expected to see some sort of reduction for poor service. Was none. Could not be bothered speaking to anymore of the staff as when I had mentioned when asked if I had enjoyed my meal. Had said it was terribly late was given no apology for the computer issue but just told it and expected to except and pay and go. Obviously won’t be back. Service was sloppy and without a smile. Food was overpriced and just ordinary.

We were recommended to try 'The Faerie Tree Inn' for dinner by a local, and were not disappointed. Staff were very friendly and attentive. Food was amazing and good portion size-we especially enjoyed the homemade puddings! Lovely, cosy pub with a great atmosphere and we will definitely return. Would highly recommend for drinks and/or food if you are visiting the area.

Fantastic Valentines meal, food excellent, staff very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return again. This is our second visit to the Faerie Tree and would recommend this place. First class service

Picked in part due to previous Tripadvisor reviews visited first Saturday evening February The pub was a little quiet though, the staff had said this unusual & had had a quiet week (this also reflected by comments in other establishments (cafes & visitor centre at Balahama) Staff very friendly & chatty & the food generous & super tasty- recommend the Cullen Sink starter & homemade pies mains- a local pub with heart, welcoming tourists with a smile. Thanks

Visited with family en route to our weekend away in Stronachlachar. Staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was tasty and very well presented. We enjoyed our visit so much we came back on our way home. Highly recommended.

On arrival, we were seated quickly. Our order was taken shortly after and our food was with us in about 10-15 minutes. It was absolutely amazing! The music choice was the ultimate for me and made me feel as if I was in my kitchen at home. Apparently I have Erin to thank as that evening was her choice(country) I thoroughly recommend the steak pie and I look forward to another visit. Also dog friendly, not that I had mine with me, I just like to look jealously at other peoples very well behaved pups

Wonderful food. Staff are very friendly and attentive. We ordered our food from the winter set menu which was limited but sufficient. We will definitely be back

Fantastic staff who were flexible, accommodating and patient even when we arrived without a reservation and with a larger group than expected…really impressive! Nice atmosphere, clean facilities and, although we just had drinks, food looked good too! Thanks to all for making our visit a positive one…

Such an amazing places, my partner and I love coming here. It's so cozy with the fire and lighting and food is great! So inclusive with gluten free and vegan options. One of the only places I can eat out this way. Just the best!

pub con cucina piatti abbastanza normali tendenti al messicano prezzi nella media con buon servizio

Great service, friendly staff. Good varied menu even if ou are vegan or dairy intolerant as we are. Great range of whiskies. Clean and pleasant facilities. Warm and friendly atmosphere.

We visited this little gem yesterday and it was so good we went back for dinner this evening. Moira was a fab host, nothing was a bother and huge compliments to the chef as the food was first class - highly recommend the chicken tenders and fajitas. It’s a 10/10 from us. Thanks guys 😍😍

Beautiful lunch in faerie tree. And amazing gluten free menu. Was there during a disastrous flood due to bad weather. Ended up stranded there and owner took us back to our hotel in his 4x4 as we couldn’t get our car through flooded roads. Above and beyond his call of duty and thank you so much. Extremely kind gesture xx

Been walking in the area so called in for an early dinner. Not very busy so we were soon served. Meal came out piping hot very good . We had the Cullen Skink and the Scampi and Chips with a nice fresh salad. Very good...

You cant but praise the food and staff at this Inn, they were amazing. All three of us were very impressed with our selection of meals...highly recommended.

This looks very modest but the food and service are excellent The Cullen skink was exceptional and the Thai Red beef curry utterly tender and with a good punch! Large wine 5.95....speaks for itself Very pleasant and helpful staff

Food was top notch. White onion soup was great. But the butter had melted in the packet and I spilt it over my trousers. Would prefer it straight from fridge so it was solid. The burger was amazing. Drinks great too. Staff very friendly and...

They fed 6 of us for two consecutive nights - we loved the fish and chips, macaroni and cheese, fajitas, pizza and the rib-eye steak. All delicious. Staff and service were fantastic - we will definitely go again when we are next in Scotland

Stopped in for a cold pint of lager, whilst partner was up in Aberfoyle working. Friendly bar staff n lovely wee beer garden. Would have tried food but we were going onto callender. The food that other customers were getting looked great.

Arrived at the “number one” restaurant in the village and immediately disappointed. The atmosphere was bland, boarding in unwelcoming. Then we sat down and the waitress was surprised we wanted a few minutes to consider our drink choices. We ended up leaving as the final...

Very nice interior and welcoming from the start, place was very busy and had a wait for for food which was explained before we ordered, well worth the wait the food was excellent and the staff although very busy were attentive, Well Done on a...

Unfortunately, like the last person who reviewed this place, I also looked at previous reviews and expected great things. Sadly, this was lacking. It felt more like a run-down village hall, rather than a lively bar, and the food was disappointing and bland, plus it...

Went here based on trip advisor reviews. What we were served fell extremely short of the reviews and descriptions and looked nothing like the photos. Very disappointing. Mussels were overdone and rubbers, pizza was undercooked and dough like, tomato was tasteless and the cheese was...

We stayed in the nearby campsite at Cobleland. Lovely walk to restaurant. We were early and they happily accommodated us. Helpful and friendly staff. Tables large enough for us to play cards on while we waited for our food. Good value for money. Typical pub...

Whilst staying at the Cobleland campsite, we chose to cycle into Aberfoyle for a bite to eat. We came across this lovely pub and had a wonderful lunch. The staff were lovely, the food delicious, the service fabulous and the price very reasonable. My husband...

From the moment we walked in we were made to feel welcome. Lovely friendly staff and the food was amazing. I had the best steak pie ever and my daughter had the fajitas. Definitely worth a visit if your in the area.

Great food & service; a dog friendly pub where our fury friends were welcomed. One family turned up their nose at them but I wasn’t too keen on their noisy little children so I probably turned up my nose at them too! Service was fab...

Quality traditional pub food prepared by the accomplished chef and served by cheerful staff who endeavour to accommodate any distrust requirements.

Amazing place: good food, clean place and nice and friendly service! Really enjoyed! Daily specialities on top of normal meny.

Very good garlic mushrooms and chicken fajitas in the centre of Aberfoyle, close to Loch Katrine in the Trussacs. Friendly staff.

Spotted this pub/restaurant with its ample parking. Obviously an old detached building with a modern extension. A friendly welcome from the staff. Seated and with a good sized and interesting menu with specials including Mussels. The extension is vey attractive and bright but the rest...

Beautiful town. We were short on time and the staff jumped into action to make sure we had time for the amazing mac and cheese. Hot chocolate was divine. Really good experience!

There are two in our group of four with a gluten-free diet restriction, so finding the GF fish & chips and GF onion rings was exciting. Then when the orders arrived and they were SO GOOD we were pleased beyond expectations. We came back for...

Arrived in Aberfoyle about 5 wanting an early supper. Stumbled across this pub by chance. They were serving food so they got our custom. A v good GF fish and chips, a macaroni cheese and a chicken tenders and chips later and we were stuffed....

Lovely, friendly pub / restaurant. Staff efficient and pleasant. Great menu. Massive portions! I would reccomend booking as they filled up very quickly. An oasis in Aberfoyle in contrast to the Forth Inn across the road.

Absolutely amazing! There were 14 of us, food was incredible, staff truely amazing and friendly. We all had started, mains and most had a dessert. Beautifully served and the servings were big! Never seen a sticky toffee pudding like that before it was delicious. We...

Excellent food and service with a smile from Moira and her team..can thoroughly recommend the chocolate fudge cake !

Ate several times lunch and evening meals ,all trying different meals and each tasted very nice . Staff were very friendly and service very good. Delicious puds as well.

We had two meals in this atmospheric pub. Great selection and we had very good food both nights. My highlight was Chicken Fajitas which was superbly presented. Friendly staff providing good service.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Relaxed atmosphere. Definitely recommend for somewhere to go in the village.

Pleasant atmosphere Offered drinks immediately Good menu Excellent service- didn’t have to wait long at all Good food hot and fresh Food nicely presented Friendly staff Reasonably priced

Came out for Mother’s Day.Lovely place that on the surface serves your standard pub fare, but they absolutely nail it. Good quality food, service and decent portions. Will definitely be back!Staff were nice as well.

Warm and welcoming pub. Cosy wood burner. Excellent food served with smiles. Would recommend highly. Pizzas are excellent.

Wish we had found this place sooner!! We are staying at the forest hills resort and thought we would eat out of the hotel on our last night and extremely glad we did. We had 2 courses each mains - Scampi, chicken burger and macaroni...

We are on holiday and asked a local guy if he could recommend somewhere for food and he told us about The Faerie Tree Inn, so off we went. The staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic, especially the Cullen skink - wow....

Overall, not the worst but certainly not the best. Staff very friendly and starter special of nachos were pretty good. Main courses on the other hand weren’t very good. Under cooked Pizza and unfortunately a pretty tasteless Mac and cheese. Hopefully just an unfortunate night...

We found this little gem yesterday, when out for a run, very friendly staff.. + the food was amazing, we had garlic bread with cheese as starters yummy, then macaroni cheese + the husbands had the steak pie 10/10, cant wait to go back thank...

If I could I would have gave this Inn a minus, the most abrupt and unwelcoming place I ever had the displeasure to visit. staff made you feel it was a inconvenience to them, HOW DARE YOU COME IN, Will never go back,

My friends and I were on the look out for somewhere nice for lunch. As we were travelling from Balloch I thought about Aberfoyle and came across this place. From start to finish everything was perfect. Main meals were great with plenty of tasty homemade...

Warm and cosy inside. Very nice, friendly atmosphere and the woman serving was lovely. I had the fish and chips which turned out to be the nicest fish and chips I’ve ever had. We had two meals and 2 cokes and only cost us £30...

Beautiful looking pub. We had been out walking as a family and were looking forward to visiting the faerie tree. We were told they didn’t have room for us at the door. My brother in law then asked if there was room for us to...

We had a very good lunch at this excellent pub. The service was friendly and efficient and the food was very good. This is the first time we have been here and would definitely return any time we are back in Aberfoyle.

Would definitely recommend this place - myself & a group of pals booked here for a Christmas lunch/get together last weekend and we all had a great experience there. The food was really good, and portion sizes were filling. The service was super: friendly, prompt...

I dislike leaving negative reviews, but I feel that I must, since my meal at The Faerie Tree Inn was the worst one I had during my vacation in Scotland. I am surprised by all the positive reviews and pictures of delicious looking food. Maybe...

Staying at nearby Cobleand Campsite and researched gluten free places on line before deciding this had the best choices, and were also dog friendly. The Faerie Tree Inn exceeded expectiations. We were warmly welcomed and the service was great by all the staff, even though...

Food was good but it would be good if the menu gave a brief description of the dish. That way I could have asked for my arribiatta without cheese rather than trying to scrape it off when it came.

Popped in for a quick lunch on our way to our hotel to celebrate our Wedding Anniversary! Staff were very attentive and friendly and our small dog was permitted inside while we ate. Our second visit here and would highly recommend a visit, food was...
