A wonderful stay in the PODS at Oak Tree. Cosy wee cabins with everything you need. Food was warming and just what was needed after a day of hiking. HOWEVER, the highlight of our stay was Jill who served us lunch and breakfast. Such welcoming, attentive and genuinely interested in us attitude. On both occasions Jill greeted us with a huge smile and was genuinely interested in us, her customer service is outstanding, a rare find these days. I will definitely return to The Oak Tree with Jill being a huge part of the reason. Young lady on reception who checked us in was also very welcoming and informative. Thank you Oak Tree, it has restored my faith that fantastic customer Service can still exist. Amanda & Kristina

Having been a while ago and had a tasty salad for lunch I was looking forward to a nice meal. We both had burgers ( 2 thin burgers in a bun) which were very poor quality. Nice chips, but the portion size was a bit mean. So, a rubbery 'burger van' burger and a few chips for £16.50. Not even any salad to help it along. Staff were very nice, shame about the food.

Miserable baked potato, hardly cooked, still hard in the middle . Staff not able to accurately take order so vegetarian ended up with meat ! Bill wrong at the end . Surely they can spend the time to properly cook a baked potato BUT this is in a tourist trap so they can get away with a low level of food and service. What a pity . Convenient and would be lovely .

Vriendelijke bediening. Gezellig warm interieur. De Haggis met rapenpuree en pepersaus was heerlijk! De fish en chips ook: groot stuk gefrituurde kabeljauw met heerlijke krokant gebakken frietjes! De negro amaro wijn was lekker. Als afsluiter een heerlijke Loch Lomond van 12 jaar! Prijs - kwaliteit een prima eetgelegenheid!

What a disappointing experience. We ordered burgers. They are tiny, miserable and tasteless. They were lukewarm, and the plastic cheese was congealed. Chips were powdery and uninspiring. All for the hefty price of almost £17. Oh and very irritatingly they don’t accept cash. This pub used to be so good to visit, it feels like they’ve lost their edge.

Carísimo para el servicio y la atención al cliente que ofrecen. De haber habido otro bar en el lugar, seguro que ni entramos. Has de pedir on line estando allí, coger tus cubiertos y también retirar los platos de los que ocupaban las mesas antes que nosotros. Los primeros escoceses antipáticos y desagradables que encontramos. Pasamos frío y de ésto SÓLO se ocupó un camarero, el único hombre que había, de mediana edad. Él nos acompañó a un lugar más recogido en la parte de atrás del restaurante. Mucha gente joven, mujeres la mayoría, trabajando para dar un servicio pésimo. A todas ellas les importaba muy poco que nuestra experiencia allí no fuera tan desagradable, y al final lo fue. SI VAIS A ESA ZONA, BUSCAD ANTES OTRO RESTAURANTE.

We went here without a reservation, bearing huge appetites after hiking Conic Hill. They welcomed us and seated us at the table nearest the fireplace. It all had a warm, kind, welcoming atmosphere that was the best thing for a cold, wet day. The food was very good and plated well. The drinks and service were great. Prices were moderate. It's a very good place to dine.

Booked with friends , for a night away. On arrival: excellent young woman on reception, bright, cheery and helpful. Had a couple of late afternoon drinks in the bar - house lager (Connic) is great, and just flowed into dinner: pub food, but good pub food, reasonably priced. Adam, the waiter, is just great (hey you, the owner! If you're reading this, give Adam a bonus and help him develop his career, he deserves it and you will be the beneficiary). Despite it being November the next morning was glorious, ideal for a 'rocky' walk along the lochside (and a punishing uphill slog to get back 'a different way'). Star feature: loch lomond Star buy: the house lager Star people: Adam, and the receptionist. Try it, we loved it.

We've been going here for years, and it's always been consistently good. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious! There's a fantastic coffee and ice cream shop next door too. As it's a bit out of the way, it can be combined with a nice drive and a stroll down to the waterfront, or a further walk along the banks of Loch Lomond. Beautiful scenery!

Stayed three nights as we enjoyed Loch Lomond and Stirling. Stayed in James cabin. It was comfortable and well maintained. Easy walk to main hotel for breakfast . The staff was helpful, friendly, and informative. Breakfast was generous and varied with the staff happy to get what you need or cater to food allergies. Had lunch and two dinners while there. The Cullen Skink was tasty and I was convinced to try haggis and was delighted with it. I would say the menu is a bit challenging if you are attempting to limit carbs or avoid fried food. Went out the last night to find fish fillers and fresh vegetables.

We have stayed before and had to come back to try the food again. The weather wasn’t on our side, but we braved a walk by the Loch. Thankfully when we got to The Oak Tree the fire was on - we loved the cosy setting and felt right at home. The staff all work so hard and were all so nice. I couldn’t resist the Cullen skink. My partner got the steak pie and absolutely loved it. One of our fave places and we’ll be back for sure

Had a couple of lunches during our week in Balmaha. Then booked dinner. We booked saying we have a small dog. On arrival, I was asked to use the rear door while my family went via the front. When we had lunches,, we were in the bar, which I thought was the restaurant. Instead for dinner we were put in what they call a conservatory. Essentially a horrible and basic hut on the back, which was terrible. The management here need to realise that you offer very basic PUB food, not restaurant food. Do the maths for 2023 on how many families have pets and realise that making customers feel like 2nd class citizens is not on or appreciated. During the 2 lunches we had, you had customers with ruck sacks and camping gear, covered in mud as one would quite rightly expect. Customers wet from the rain with muddy boots, again as one would quite rightfully expect. Yet you see a family with a clean dog as some sort of filth! Yes, that’s how it feels. Totally unwelcoming! We were expecting to spend a full evening, but cut it very short and left and will most certainly not return. You’re a pub with basic pub food on the side of a Loch in the countryside. If you were a fine dining restaurant, I may get it, but you’re not. Fish & chips, burgers and pizza are your main offering. You have hard floors, so where is the problem? I live in the Peak District where pubs and restaurants would not survive without being open to all. You say your dog friendly and your not, so you need to make that clear so as not to disappoint or completely embarrass your customers. David Derbyshire

Beautiful place - the atmosphere here was lovely, felt nicely welcoming. The gentleman that greeted us was great and took us to our table. Eventually after waiting a good 10/15 our waitress came and took our drinks order; as we’d been waiting so long we had also chosen our meal. Another long wait and we got our drinks. My cappuccino was cold but didn’t see the waitress again till another chap brought our meals over. I’d given up trying to tell them about my coffee. No one came during our meal to see if we wanted more drinks … we did. The restaurant was not that busy so I don’t know why people weren’t being served. Another man got fed up of waiting and went to the bar himself. The food was delicious. My husband really enjoyed his haggis and my pizza was lovely. The waitress came to clear the plates and I asked for a drink. Without waiting to hear or even ask if my husband wanted one she walked away: we called her back and ordered a pint for him. My drink came; no sign of his. Gave up in the end. Asked for our bill, paid and left. Shame our evening was clouded by a waitress who wasn’t up to the job; she was very friendly - just didn’t have a clue how to do her job.

Lovely aspect, inviting frontage, but during an indian summer heatwave it was uncomfortably warm inside so we decided to eat outdoors at a garden table arrangement, despite food being delivered to an adjascent table, we had to chase down a menu after giving up ordering on the online system. The food was disappointing to say the least we had two fish & chips and a burger. The fish was greasy and so thin the chef must have lost his finger tips when slicing one fish into six portions That said the result still managed to resembe a frozen beer battered factory produced 4 for £2 effort from betterbuys. As for the alien concoction purporting to be chips, dipped in yellow dye presumably to trick the eye into believing they had seen the inside of a deep fat fryer. But sadly that was not the case, not so much chipped potatoes but a reconstituted effort made from what appeared to be rehydrated dried potato formed under high pressure into an oblong shape which I believe in the colloquial are know as "Oven Chips" the vast majority of which ended up in landfill. Clearly the location on the West Highland Way allows this sort of exploitation where travellers have either no other option but to endure, or perhaps it's because many of them are never likely to pass this way again. A dissapointing end to an otherwise perfect day, how dare they spoil it for us.

Stayed for one night whilst walking the west highland way. Our check in experience was not friendly, staff seemed stressed and did not engage, hardly looked up from the screen. Found ordering a couple of beers a long process as this needed to be done online. There was no drying room for walking boots etc. Room was very noisy from the bar downstairs and was uncomfortably hot, unable to open window due to midgies (yes a fan was provided but that merely blew around the hot air!) One pack of shortbread between 2 people !! We had dinner in the restaurant, the food was lovely, but again staff running around and obviously very stressed, not good customer service. Breakfast in the morning was good and staff friendlier than the previous day. Check out was as impersonal as check in.

We are probably old fashioned but we didn’t like having to order from our phones, then we’re told it was a 20 minute wait - for two pints of lager! I went inside to cancel our order and get a refund (which was done quickly), and was told that because the place was so busy, food can take 29 minutes, but two pints can be done ‘in no time at all’. Well, we didn’t know that! What’s wrong with just ordering at the bar like everywhere else??

We were very fortunate to find this place for our overnight stay by the shores of Loch Lomond. The Oak Tree is situated right in the centre of the village, and seems to basically be the centre point for the town. It was busy and vibrant but we were able to get straight to the reception desk without any trouble. Our accomodation was not the Inn itself but on the upstairs floor of one of the nearby villas, two large, bright and airy rooms withwith full kitchen and bathroom facilities, balconies and a view out over the loch . The staff at the inn were friendly and helpful and made sure we were well looked after on a busy evening. The dining was excellent and our food came quickly despite there being quite a good crowd and the barman was quick to offer another choice when the stout I asked for wasn't available. We were made to feel extremely comfortable and at ease for the entire stay and while The Oak Tree was one of the most expensive places we stayed at during our time in the UK, it was quite worth it for the great rooms and elevated service.

Stopped for lunch whilst walking the West Highland Way. Other half had a very good pepperoni pizza which paled in comparison to my steal pie meal. Perfectly deep filled with huge chunks of steak, flakey puff pastry and lashings of proper gravy with meat bits...

Visited here with family after climbing the local hill. Gorgeous location, we were lucky with the weather so sat outside. Could only order via the QR code. Really, really average food which is way, way overpriced. I’ve had better at Wetherspoons. Don’t get the reviews...

Very friendly and welcoming staff, excellent quick service, and tasty food that hit the spot after a 30km run! Would very much recommend. They have a very good online ordering system outside that speeds things up no end.

What a cracking find. Never stayed in Dunblane before and booked this as it was recommended on the internet. It was absolutely brilliant. The food was excellent and the staff were all very friendly. Would definitely recommend and if we are ever back in the area we would definitely return. They gave outside seating which would be lovely on a good day, unfortunately it was very wet in the day we were there. Loved how the bill was delivered inside a book 🤗

Weil in unserer Unterkunft kein Frühstück angeboten wurde, sind wir hier eingekehrt und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Die Qualität, der Preis und der Service haben und überzeugt und wir sind auch noch ein weiteres mal eingekehrt.

While wandering through Aberfoyle came across this little butchers. Glad we did, the Roll and sausage/ black pudding doubler was amazing, great value for £5 my son had the Steak roll also delicious. No hesitation in recommending this establishment. A wee day out, you have to pop in.

Excellent anniversary lunch. All of the dishes were delicious, friendly attentive staff and good value for the quality of the food. Burrata, chilli prawns to start, followed by market fish (hake - delicious) and salmon and lobster sauce pasta. Affogato and mint ice cream and chocolate choux bun to finish.
