What a brilliant place. Colin is a lovely host, very friendly, welcoming and helpful, both before and during our stay. Our room was spotless, very comfortable and breakfast was beautiful in presentation and taste. Such a shame we were staying for only one night, would definitely stay again. Thank you.

This is a wonderful B&B in Stirling. You're in walking distance of many attractions as well as downtown. You're also close to the bus line. Colin will spoil you with his breakfast! You can't go wrong staying here. You feel like you're at home in such a cozy setting.

My husband and I stayed here in October, we booked through Airbnb. Beautiful, comfortable, home away from home! One of the best Airbnb experiences I've ever had. The location is great! Walkable to the shops (if you don't mind the hill), right next to the castle and church, a stone's throw away from the oldest pub in Stirling. We arrived via train and it was a 5 minute walk from the train station (up the hill - I mention this only in case you need an accommodation for this). The room was perfect. Had all the amenities you could need. Really beautiful and spacious bathroom. Very comfortable and large bed. The overall highlight would definitely be Colin himself, he is an incredible host! Breakfast was literally the best I had on my entire trip. He also had local recommendations and info. When our taxi didn't show to take us to the car hire place, he drove us there, which was so incredibly kind of him. Would highly recommend Colin's place to anyone traveling to Stirling. Beautiful, historical, and 10/10 overall.

I stayed here in July. The place is beyond wonderful, pristine, clean, quiet, lovely owners, the most amazing English breakfast I've ever had. But the best parts where the cute dogs always greet you when you come home. Truly the experience of a warm home, This is the place I will stay every time I visit Stirling.

It is with regret that the Smithy has been closed for business from November 2019 onwards. It is a shame, as this was the best restaurant/cafe ever in Stirling.

Tras una experiencia mejorable en los Highland Games (no logramos disfrutar del evento y la lluvia nos causó ciertos estragos en el calzado), buscamos un lugar cálido donde comer a gusto sin que nos sablaran. Y lo logramos... ¡vaya que si lo logramos! La carne de la Cheeseburger fue excelente, los fish&fries (Haddock con salsa tártara) de tamaño XXL. Y el cocinero, de unas dimensiones mayores que el pescado que sirve, tiene un talento culinario todavía mayor: sus platos fueron una grata sorpresa, tanto por sabor como por cantidades. Un espectáculo para los sentidos, cuanto más acompañado de una Sidra o una American Ale. Un acierto afortunado por nuestra parte. Volveríamos, seguro.

Having read previous reviews, and living fairly close we decided to pop in for an early lunch. When we arrived we asked for menus and were shown to a table upstairs. No-one came to take either a drink or food order for 15 minutes. A young waitress passed us 3 times but did not even acknowledge our existence. We can't comment on the quality of the food, since we walked out and went elsewhere for lunch. We suspect that we had arrived at the juncture of breakfast and lunch, and had the woman behind the bar explained that there might be a delay, or suggested that we place a drinks order with her meantime we would not have minded. Also, we asked for a gluten-free menu but were given a sheet explaining which of their ingredients contained what allergens, but as their menu did not list which ingredients came with which dishes it was not helpful. It would make more sense to use GF and V codes against each dish. (As most other restaurants across the world do these days).

We were road tripping around Scotland and hit Sterling around lunch time after Doune Castle. We were famished and wanted good food. The Smithy deserves it's five stars and then some. We sat on the couches, a great place to sprawl out after hiking Ben Vorlich the day before, and we all got the burger. The burger was amazingly flavorful, juicy, and filling. I'm now trying to cook them that way at home. The chips were crispy and perfect. The coffee was great. The waitress was so kind and talkative, and told us all about the decor of the place (you have to see it, it's amazingly detailed and fun). The carmel cake dessert was a nice finish to a great meal. YOU CANNOT MISS THIS PLACE!!!!

I had heard so many great reviews of this restaurant from friends in Stirling and had to try. The restaurant is inscrutably clean while still allowing dogs. We live and eat out in the town centre often and would have to say that the food we ordered was both above the norm, delicious and so fresh! Also, the staff were amazing. There were multiple tables to be served and our waitress still found time to bring a treat for our dog. Staff worked above and beyond. Now we know you are here and dog friendly we will be regulars!

Visited with friends for lunch. An unusual building with 3 levels, a quaint little bar also some seating outside. We were seated upstairs (the 3rd level). Very friendly efficient service. There is a comprehensive menu, and some flexibility should you want a variation of that listed. Good quality food with generous portions. One of us had the breaded haddock, looked to be beautiful white fish. My wife and I chose the Scampi - delicious. We were full!

Looked for a restaurant to have a lunch with my sister and picked the Smithy from web & T.A., wasn’t disappointed, managed to park outside venue which was metered, unfortunately 2 out of the 3 ticket dispensers were out of service, black mark Stirling Town Council. We had booked the table for 12 am and arrived on time and had a warm greeting and told even though we had reserved we could have table of our choice, nice touch. Fresh Haddock in breadcrumbs,and goat cheese and diced ham omelette were ordered with an apeltize and soda water and lime. Haddock was enormous with a very light batter accompanied by chips and a salad pot. The omelette came with chips and salad pot and again portion was generous,the food was scrumptious.

After touring Stirling Castle we needed lunch close by. Trip Advisor to the rescue with a recommendation for The Smithy. Could not have been happier with our meal and can’t wait to go back one day! The interior is welcoming and the servers friendly and willing to answer any questions about the menu. They carry beer from the local brewery, Black Wolf, which is excellent. I ordered the steak sandwich and I swear it’s the best sandwich I’ve ever had. Peppery with tender beef and perfectly cooked onions. Others in my party ordered the Chicken Provençal and the hamburger. That burger was next level! Lunch times can be crowded, but you can call ahead to ask for a table. Be sure to visit this gem when in Stirling. Best food so far of a 2 week trip through Scotland.

Popped in here for a late breakfast whilst staying locally. Hub ordered the breakfast which I think was called a mixed grill. I ordered a bacon roll with mushrooms and was delighted to find out they had no brioche (yuk) and was offered a morning roll instead. The breakfast was ‘ out of this world’ according to the Hub and it did look good. My roll had 3 rashers on it but the star was the side of mushrooms - I am a fan of the humble mushroom and these were the best I have ever eaten!! Cooked in olive oil, butter, herbs, chilli - if and when I go back I’ll have mushrooms on toast. Coffee was good and a special mention for the waitress who was charming. It was good value too but I would have paid more.

This little gem of a restaurant won our vote – two couples – for the best fish and chips during our 18 day drive around Scotland. And the best waitress. It is a combination tea room, gift shop and restaurant with a full menu. Three of us had fish and chips; my wife had coronation chicken, a curried something or other she enjoyed a great deal; and we all shared carrot cake (the best ever according to our carrot cake devotee). I had fudge cake, it had molten fudge inside the cake and rivaled one I had in Paris twelve year ago, not that I remember these kinds of things. One of us had locally made ice cream, even the coffee was very good. We ate there because we were visiting the castle, when we return to Scotland and are within an hour’s drive, we will come back to Smithy’s.

Visited following a recommendation. Homemade soup and sandwiches, nice coffee, not a great choice of home baking on offer, no scones! The Smithy wouldn't suit wheelchair access, and the toilets are upstairs. Parking is limited so be prepared to walk.

I went there to have a lunch on my way to the castle. Place is lovely, I ate in a beautiful and peaceful garden. Took fish&chips; and some local beer, good food and good service!

Excelente opción. El local es encantador, una casita inglesa, tal cual. Tiene una terraza atras. Los platos son abundantes. Haddock es el típico fish and chips. Tu eliges patata frita o asada con piel en cada plato, y todos llevan una ensaladita. 4 platos muy ricos, bien cocinados, con buen producto, por sólo 44£. Para repetir.

Went here today for the first time, had a lovely plate of lentil soup then a steak sandwich with some fabulous French fries and salad. The menu looked a little pricey but it was well worth the money, I'd thoroughly recommend this place. A lovely warm welcome and all the staff were friendly. Nice gifts for sale on the first floor too. We'll definitely come again!

We visited here for lunch after our trip to the castle, which is just round the corner. It was recommended by staff at the castle and I knew it had good reviews on here. The staff were friendly and there was a high chair.

Ai piedi del castello di stirling, delizioso, particolare e con piatti semplici ma buonissimi. Il locale è piccolino ma ci ha accolti nonostante il numero (eravamo in 13) e abbiamo pranzato egregiamente e velocemente. Caffè buono

This is simply the best place to go for fish and chips. My friend had chilli which she thoroughly enjoyed too. Our third visit now and it certainly won't be the last.

A warm and cosy environment inside a a sheltered garden outside plus some gift shopping. How better to enjoy the wonderful food and generous portions. It is hard to make room for the great cakes too!

Lovely little place with great food and very friendly staff. The steak sandwich was delicious and filled very generously. We were lucky to come on a nice day and managed to sit outside in the garden which has a nice homely feel to it.

Popped in for a late lunch, lovely seating area choice of chairs or sofas. Good choice on menu, it may look a bit pricey but portions are large and quality the highest! I had the omelette with ham spinach and get great chips and a pot of fresh interesting salad, my partner had the chilli with rice and cheesy nackos. We were full for the rest of the day! Nice gift shop
