The Golden Larches Cafe and B&B in Stirling

It's a good find, however, a very muddy path, then thru a gate, onto the main road to get there! Unfortunately, the scones were warmed up. Nice cuppa & pretty landscaped garden. Odd but a shark themed toilet!! 🤔

Great hot chocolate! And a very convenient roadside spot to stop for a break.

Very warm welcome and very good service, the soup is delicious.

Stopped here for the shark toilet and not disappointed with anything. The toilet must be seen and I loved watching the many chaffinches feeding from magnificent bird tables outside. Very nice menu but we just had breakfast. Lovely friendly staff.

The staff are so kind and friendly. Our toddler fell on our walk and was really upset. The staff were so kind, gave us a plaster and one to spare and even gave him a little treat to cheer him up.They also came back to check on him several times. Our coffee was very good and we will definitely be back.

Delicious breakfast and very nice service, I sincerely recommend that place!

One of the best breakfasts I have ever eaten! This is seriously so tasty. Coupled with the service that you receive I would urge you not to drive by. The ascetic is warm and friendly with some fantastic views of what Scotland offers best, scenic views and a charming location. Been here twice and I feel I would struggle to go anywhere else now. Breakfast and lunch have been ticked off of the list. Now for dinner! 💙

Stopped here for lunch when driving by. Good food very friendly service, a really nice place. Apparently the "shark toilet" is world famous, I had no idea.

Is IT real? Cheap and neat. All homemade stuff...the sandwich and soup combo is my favorite.9.95 gbp...a brilliant plate, sandwich of your choice and a rich, tasty veggie soup giving me a smile on my face. Located at the roadside, parking enclosed, very friendly family run business. You have to stop and take a break Here!

We stopped here for a coffee and had double espressos - they were great. Really strong and tasty. The owners were warm, friendly and welcoming. We will definitely make an effort to go back for food.

We stopped in here for a bathroom break on our drive back to Edinburgh and ordered two cappuccinos and they were awful. We saw the woman pouring coffee behind the counter add water to a cup after she put coffee in it and thought that was really strange. I don’t think they know how to make coffee or cappuccinos properly. The shark toilet was interesting but probably not what you’re expecting it to be.

Excellent service by very friendly hosts. Lovely fresh home baked scones. Very clean, well maintained and interesting property which is apparently a former railway station. A disused railway tunnel is still to be seen on the other side of the road. We will definitely make a point of spending more time there when next in the area.

Nice stop off for coffee and cake.

The world famous shark toilet lives up to the rep. Excellent

Stopped for lunch. Food was really good, nice environment and atmosphere.

quirky little spot, but I mean that in the best way possible! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. We had the best Scottish breakfast we've had anywhere in the country. Plus, it was the most affordable one we’ve come across, especially compared to places like Edinburgh or Inverness. Oh, and there’s a "special" loo

I have to admit, we only stopped for the sign that said world famous shark toilet, because we passed the sign several times and were curious what that meant. But when we ordered the Scottish vegetarian breakfast, so we can see the toilet we were so pleasantly surprised. The food was amazing, and as it tourned out this place had the best vegetarian breakfast we had during our whole trip in Scotland (I loved the hash browns, and the mushroom as well were so good). And the price was more than fair for this quality, especially compared to places in Inverness and Edinburgh were we paid much more but the food was not good compared to the food here. It was so good, we even made a second visit when we where in the area on our way home. And the shark toilet did not disappoint as well 🦈 ;) So I definitely recommend to stop by this place!

Very very kind people! This was our stop on a rainy tour through the lochs. 🍰 All of us had a great carrot cake and a good coffee! Everything was freshly made. We even saw a deer in the garden 🦌

Great breakfast and superb world famous shark toilet

We strandet there on a rainy day on our way to Stirling. Having a delicious homemade soup to warm up. Such a lovely place and wonderful warm hearted lady running the café. Make sure to stop by when you in this area.

This cafe is worth the stop if you’re passing in time for breakfast. It is served until 12pm. The team are small but very accommodating; we visited with a 10month old and our dog and both were looked after. It is affordable but we’d pay a couple of quid more to have a little bigger of a portion. On the whole it is well worth a visit - the shark toilet just has to be seen 🦈 It was raining when we visited but it looks as though they have a pretty garden set up to sit outside. There were plenty of bird feeders too and a pretty bridge over a stream. There’s a lot going on in a small place. We’d visit again for sure.

Went here for lunch. Very nice folks, excellent food. Clear recommendation. Follow the signs at route 7 for a short detour to the cafe. Liked the shark toilet.

Called by for breakfast in 2023, and again twice in august 2024, absolutely brilliant service, the breakfast is cooked to perfection and super tasty, very friendly and lovely hosts, will definitely be calling in again in 2025, thank you again.

Very accessible from the NCN Route 7. Short diversion and a welcome break. Great, friendly service. Seem used to having cyclists stop by.

Stopped for the toilet, stayed for the hospitality 😊 Stopped by on a roadtrip at this sweet little cafe for a quick drink and bathroom break, and got into a conversation with the two cafe owners. They are wonderful and so is the cafe. The bathroom (I won’t spoil with details) is very fun, and worth a visit. Andrea is absolutely delightful (a human ball of sunshine), and also makes wonderful hot chocolates. Tim gave me a bunch of recommendations for stops on the drive and places to visit, particularly en route to Glencoe and Skye. Between them, they made my experience at this little cafe amazing. Well worth a visit!

The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and this is the home of the world famous shark toilet. What more could you want ?

The cafe was lovely, very welcoming and friendly. A good selection to choose from on the menu and helpful and attentive staff. We’d definitely go back.

Excellent food, super clean, great spot to stop on your trip from oban to Edinburgh

Super friendly owners and by far best toilet we ever visited!

Popped in for a coffee whilst waiting on our lodge to be ready. We are so glad we did. Lovely welcoming hosts, warm and friendly and attentive. Didn’t want food but looked delicious however we opted for a scone. Wow! Fantastic freshly baked and tasted wonderful. We returned next day and struggled to get seated as it was really busy which is testament to their business. Would highly recommend trying and hubby and I will definitely visit again.

Nice restrooms. Staff was alright. Staff said they didn’t want give out a napkin since they were expensive

We stopped in for breakfast while out and about in our MH, great place, friendly, great food, clean, car park big enough for a few vehicles, we parked at back fence no problem, if we’re ever passing that way again we know where to stop, thanks guys🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

We stopped for breakfast. The welcome was fabulous. Coffee good food cooked fresh. Thank you just what we needed

Excellent place to stop off for something to eat when on a journey. Food is fresh made, and very tasty. The steak burger is amazing and great value for money. Friendly service and always a warm welcome. Can't recommend highly enough

Be sure to always ask for take away, even if your sitting in. The portions are larger and saves the owners form dishes, they will thank you!

Helpful staff,offering good variety food at reasonable prices.

We stopped in here to see the world famous shark bathroom. The bathroom was really cool and the shark enthusiast in our group was very impressed. The people working here were incredibly hospitable and happy to chat about their cool place.

Really lovely cafe, great food and excellent service.

Popped in for breakfast on way back from Balquidder lodges. Lovely full Scottish and a lovely couple running it.A+++++. Well worth a visit. Kids will love the shark toilet 🦈

Stopped by for a quick coffee after being intrigued by the shark toilet sign. Owners could not have been nicer and what we all had was lovely. Would definitely stop by here again if passing.

Lovely place, the couple who own it are really lovely and friendly. Shark bathroom is a cool funky feature 🦈 stunning views, thank you!

Where do I start a very warm welcome when we arrived a great selection available on the menu, made to feel really welcome all the time we were there, we had baked potatoes which were delicious, then apple crumble and custard.A credit to the area somewhere locals like myself can pop in for a coffee and a blether.so if your ever in this area it’s a must place to stop,and it’s also right on the main route with its own private car park.

What a lovely little place. Wasn't planning on stopping for a bite but ended up sat in theor conservatory having the best bbq steal burger iv ever had. Staff are super friendly. Pricing and portion size are spot on for a light bite.

We nipped in today whilst out and about for a bite to eat. Fantastic atmosphere, outstanding customer service. We're thinking about booking them for a stay as its so conveniently placed. Cheeky wee surprise in the bathroom that everyone, especially the kids will enjoy.

Popped in on way home from glencoe and was open new years day which was fantastic Great wee breakfast and the owners are great

Can't comment on rooms as we did not stay. We had a variety of meals including vegiterian, full breakfasts and even beenz on toast and it was amazing food well presented and hot. Well worth stopping in for a meal and they are dog friendly our dog Harley ate all their treats. We will be back.

The Golden Larches is a lovely place to eat. We were staying just down the road over Xmas and had breakfast here twice. The staff are absolutely lovely - so friendly and welcoming. They serve breakfast all day which I think is great and the food is very nice. Dogs are very welcome too. I would absolutely recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Stopped off to the cafe after a snowy start to the day. Very warm fire awaiting you and very nice friendly welcome. Lunch was delicious and took some home baked scones, butter and Jam away with us for our tea. Thank you very much
