The Tullie Inn in West Dunbartonshire

Mi marido y el suyo tuvieron una gran estancia de una noche en el Tulli Inn con desayuno, cena y bebida de bienvenida. La comida era buena y David el barman me hizo un delicioso cóctel. La habitación era cómoda y tenía cafetera Nespresso con galletas. Buena selección en el desayuno y la cena era sabroso también. El personal era encantador, especialmente María que hizo todo lo posible para cuidar de nosotros. Mi marido dejó su jersey, Mary lo encontró y nos lo publicó.

Estábamos deseando una cena acogedora con buena comida, pero tristemente nos quedamos abrumados. Llegaron nuestros entrantes y en uno de los entrantes el cohete acompañante con un aceite de oliva y llovizna de trufa no era comestible debido a que las hojas parecían más hojas al vapor en una mancha verde. Aconsejamos a la anfitriona que habló con la dirección, volviendo a ofrecer postre gratis. No íbamos a estar comiendo postre esa noche y por lo que la oferta no sería adecuado para lo que la anfitriona preguntó lo que preferiríamos. Sugerimos que se elimine el iniciador afectado de la factura. Nuestras comidas del plato principal eran sabrosas, el bistec estaba perfectamente cocinado, pero algunas de las verduras en ambos platos principales eran un poco de cuero, sin embargo, se mejoraron al agregar un poco de salsa. Elegimos no hacer un comentario sobre esto y en su lugar nos centramos en disfrutar de nuestra noche juntos. Al recibir el proyecto de ley nos decepcionó que no se hubiera hecho ninguna deducción. Por lo menos una bebida podría haberse retirado como muestra de disculpa si la dirección decidiera que no querían descontar el entrante problemático. El personal era amable y el restaurante encantador. Una pena.

Esta fue nuestra segunda estancia en el Tullie y una vez más no nos decepcionó. Gran bienvenida, personal amable, habitación espaciosa limpia y excelente comida. En una gran ubicación con un montón de bares y restaurantes cerca. Ideal para explorar Loch Lomond y alrededores.

Wonderful food and first class service.

Un gran restaurante con excelentes opciones de comida vegana y vegetariana. Nuestra camarera Kim era muy amable y atento.

Had a coffee here waiting for a taxi. Lovely interior and brilliant beer garden. Cappuccino was good!

Nice place to have a relaxing drink with lovely staff.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Relaxed.

Lovely pub but very overpriced for drinks so went elsewhere

Very tasty food with super friendly service. The prices are also very fair. Can really recommend. 👍

I stayed here for 5 nights and enjoyed my stay. Polite staff waiting on tables and a quick service to add. The rooms are clean and stocked with all you need for a relaxing stay. The manager was also extremely helpful and anything I needed was taken care of swiftly. Thankyou to everyone at the tullie inn. 5^

Whilst passing through Balloch, our party of 7 (and a dog) stopped by for some lunch. The woman working the bar was sour faced and had a serious attitude problem. Short in her responses and inconvenienced by any request. The majority of the group went for the Steak sandwich, which unfortunately was chewy and full of fat and gristle. The sausage and mash was very nice however, so compliments there. The younger man working the bar was very attentive, and brought a bowl of biscuits for our dog. Nice décor but it's a shame about the atmosphere caused by the sour faced cow at the bar.

Lindo lugar. Un poco caro para la comida, que no era tan fresco como nos hubiera gustado, pero fuimos bastante tarde en el día para el almuerzo. Fue sabroso, sin embargo, y Kim - nuestro servidor - era encantador. Ambiente agradable y locales muy limpios y bien cuidados.

Had the steak and venison pie, wife had the chicken and pancetta one , both delicious would definitely have again and recommend without hesitation , hopefully we'll be back up this way in the future for a repeat

Nice hotel, unfortunately in need of some renovation. Great service, very tasty food in the restaurant and very tasty and rich breakfast. The rooms were clean and well equipped.

Booked for a family get together. Food was lovely freshly made to order and everyone's meal all came out at the same time. Food extremely tasty. Lovely atmosphere. The only downside was service was a bit slow. But didn't put us off. The staff were very friendly. Really good value for money. Would highly recommend this place. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for somewhere for a nice atmospheric meal. Noted that dogs were also welcome in the bar area.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Good food. Lovely setting. Friendly helpful staff

Didn't stay here, great location for loch lomand, very nice food, really friendly staff

Had a lovely meal here - Kim took great care of us :)

In for a work colleagues Birthday lunch. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great lunch, then a lovely dinner. The venison and beef pie was amazing.

A very nice hotel pub restaurant very well located close to the train station. The staff is very friendly, welcoming, and smiling. There is a nice atmosphere I recommend it

The food was not great. One of our party could not identify one of the items on her plate...we think it was Beetroot? Food was distinctly average.

Tasty food! Many thanks to Kim for great service.

Nice dinner, breakfast, and 1-night stay on a quick trip to Loch Lomond. FYI: no elevators (that I was aware of) so will need to bring luggage up one flight of stairs. Tub/shower is a little high to step over - not an issue for us, but just a heads up. We arrived a bit later than expected due to flight delays but they were still able to accommodate us for dinner, which was delicious. Breakfast was also good - ordered off the menu and it arrived pretty quickly. Cute little spot, right across the street from the Sweeney cruises and next to a train station.

The Tullie Inn in Balloch was one of the worst hotel stays I have experienced. Outside the room's window, the kitchen's ventilation system roared, making it possible to both sleep and open the window. When we pointed this out to the man who checked us in, we were treated very dismissively and our request to change to another room was completely ignored. Terrible treatment, completely substandard hotel standard.

Had a superb lunch in Tullie Inn.lovely bright dining area and very fresh looking.food was excellent.staff very attentive and friendly.will return again next time nearby

After a boat trip on Loch Lommond, you can warm up with a perfect cappuccino and delicious green tea Highly recommend the small cakes

We spent one night here on our way to Highlands and enjoyed it. Breakfast was nice and service authentic

Great hotel, great location. We really like the Scottish and the veggie breakfast. The room was really nice. We went to the bar, it was a cool moment, but the table were way too sticky. Horrible.

Had a lovely lunch after a Sunday walk. Kim served us and was absolutely lovely, couldn’t do enough for us.

We ate here. Very tasty and value for money is good! Conditions super nice

We had a birthday dinner here at the Tullie Inn and it was perfect! We had the pies and they were excellent. Great service and super atmosphere! Highly recommend

Review for restautrant only. Service was good. Nice setting, food was delicious, but serving sizes way too small. For the price we paid, it's not great value. This is a pub, not fine dining, you expect slightly bigger portions. Other than that, it was nice.

A lovely lunch with Friends. Served by the lovely, cheerful, Kim. She was very attentive. Food was lovely. Will be back.

Nice food and vibes, great service from Kim :)

Great service in the early morning breakfast service from Mary. Thx

It was a lovely place I only stayed for 1 night The staff were amazing and the food was good. I just randomly stopped and was happy I did.

Super restaurant. Nous y sommes retourné le lendemain. Avons été surpris par la carte : de nombreux plats préparés avec soins, dans le style rétro chic (pithiviers, souris d'agneau, etc..). Service très agréable et carte des vins plutôt variée. Belle surprise !! Bravo

Very nice friendly hotel. Rooms are comfortable but some things need updating. The bath panel in our room was flaking paint and didn’t look very nice. Also no soft close toilet seats so lots of noise if people don’t realise. Great live music on Friday and Saturday. The breakfasts are very good too and the staff are friendly and helpful, lovely room cleaners too. We enjoyed our stay. The location is beautiful. A big shout out for Mary who always looks after us.

A nice guesthouse with a large room, a huge bathroom, everything is well maintained and, as is typical for Scotland, very friendly and courteous people. Very close to Loch Lomond. Good food, not overpriced. Well-stocked bar and a cozy beer garden. We'll be back again at any time!

Great pub, some of the staff are excellent and others not so much! For the location the price of beer is acceptable (although pricey). The food is over priced and my Sunday lunch (roast pork) was a lack lustre effort to say the least. No crackling, no condiments that you would use for a Sunday dinner, extremely salty bought in gravy, raw parsnips and my broccoli wasn’t tender stem as advertised! I don’t normally put bad reviews on, but unfortunately this takes the biscuit. I’ll try another Sunday for lunch at some point if the future and hopefully you’ll have at least made some changes and more effort. Regards Danny

Very unfriendly service from the old waitress. She was very rude and condescending. Location is great though.

Food and service were ok but not great. One of our main meals wasn’t cooked properly and the service was pretty slow. Management offered us a free dessert for the problem which was nice. It was ok but we didn’t return as there are so many other places to go to.

We came here for a quick bite to eat. The inn is super cute and nicely decorated, it’s situated close to the water. Unfortunately not much nice can be said about the older lady that seated and served us. She was quite cold and unfriendly and listed about 8 items that weren’t available to choose from on the menu. After sitting down we realised we didn’t have enough time for a proper meal before our boat ride (about 25 mins) so chose something to drink and asked for the bill. The older lady started to explain that we should’ve sat at the bar if we only wanted a drink. I apologised and explained about the boat ride to which she didn’t say a word and just brought the bill a card machine. My partner asked if he could leave a tip, she rolled her eyes at us and said ‘No. only cash tips’ and then walked away. We heard her laughing and chatting to other customers, so not quite sure why we got the cold shoulder 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ate here during our tour, steak was excellent, friendly staff with attention to our dog 👍

Slow and grumpy waitresses, extremely rude to tourists. If you ain’t happy with outsiders then don’t be in the business of hospitality!

I like the Tullie. I do. The beer garden is nice. They’ve got Loch Lomond brewery on tap. There’s some good here. HOWEVER, a word of warning my dear reader. The tortellini is £15.50 and I received 6 tortellinis which I personally feel is a high pound to tortellini ratio

Arrived for dinner after ringing there reservations line, to be told ooo no you don't need to book just turn up! So 6 of us turn up, we where told we had to book and all the 8 tables that where empty where booked out. Sat outside in the cold. The heating didn't work. Ordered our food, arrived and went cold before we could get half why through. Walked in the pub the 8 tables that where empty when we arrived still had no-one sat at them at no point didn't the manager came and say to us, please come inside as these tables are free. No-one has turned up. Will never go back.

Never stayed in the hotel, but went there for food, and what I got looked like it was sitting in a reduced section in a supermarket for a week before being microwaved and served. It cost around 20 quid for a gammon steak and I didn't get the extras I've ordered (but did pay for them). Stay away.

Such fabulous staff, super helpful with quick service.

After a bad experience, now a great experience. The food was super tasty, the lamb and the grilled steak are really recommended. The children were happy too. Unfortunately we didn't stay in the hotel. But we were happy to do the 15 minute walk to eat such delicious food. The staff was also super friendly. Update after feedback/comment from owner Sorry for the misunderstanding. The bad experience was NOT with you!! We tried a day before a different restaurant and had the worse experience there. At your place it was always perfect. Much Love❤️

Never stayed here but went for breakfast and dinner. We had to ask for breakfast second day as we were let down buy another location and Mary was said sure no problem take a seat. She is lovely host and food is perfect. Definitely recommend this place for food

A quinoa salad without quinoa, even if you make a complaint and insist we bring you a small bowl for 2. There is room for lunch in the end there is none except at the bar. Bad experience

Had a lovely meal here, staff were great and quickly served even though it was busy, would highly recommend.

Lovely restaurant, Very modern and great range of drinks, would highly recommend to anyone,all the staff are great

Had a great visit here,food was lovely and staff very welcoming,will definitely visit again soon

We did not stay in the accommodation part, we only tested the restaurant. The atmosphere is warm, the staff very friendly and the food of very good quality. We went back twice and really liked it. Their breakfast is also accessible to non-residents, it is delicious!

Lovely staff, clean, spacious, great food and dog friendly to sit/eat in the bar. Perfect for our needs today thank you

The meals were brought out and one was completely wrong - roast beef rather than lamb shank. My wife had triple roast dinner. None of our vegetables and "roast" potatoes were fully cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were very poor. We left a large portion. The lamb was actually very good. The blonde haired lady was very apologetic and didn't charge us for 1 meal. Here for a week but won't be back

The blonde with glasses was extremely rude when we walked in. It was as if she didn’t want us eating there. She stated if we are in a hurry then we shouldn’t eat there , because she had two tables. We should have known then to walk out. When she came by and asked if we needed anything we said ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise. She returned with just the mustard and ketchup, so I asked again for the mayonnaise and she rolled her eyes at me and said anything else before I walk away. Food was good, I did tell our tour guide never to bring anyone of his clients

Great food and the atmosphere was pleasant, excellent service from Kim and made to feel very welcome and topped up well with any needs. Thanks again.

A wonderful stay for two nights at this exceptionally clean and well appointed inn and pub next to the river. The room was a little compact but had everything you needed and the beds exceptionally comfortable. The food in the restaurant for dinner and breakfast were delicious and very hot, which is unusual these days. The staff weee welcoming and helpful. Would highly recommend and stay again.

A very welcoming, large and airy-feeling (in a good way) venue, quite a large menu of choices. Enjoyed a very nice fish & chips which was also a very generous portion. The highlight though was the incredibly friendly and helpful server, Kim, who was fun and chatty particularly with our 6-year-old, which always helps to keep him at ease during a lengthy dinner outing!

Very slow to have our orders taken even though it wasn't busy, asked to have our order taken 4 times and each time was told someone would " be along shortly " after 45 minutes we were just about to leave when someone finally came to take our order.

Lunch was great. I can recommend the pies.

Very nice staff, helpful and super friendly. Rooms very comfortable, large and clean. Bathroom great. The location opposite the boat dock is perfect. Excellent dinner in the pub

Lovely place to visit. The staff and management are super friendly. The drinks are fairly priced. We had a lovely night out and will definitely return

A beautifully, stylishly furnished house. The room was quite large, the bathroom was very small. All in all, the whole house is dingy, sticky and in need of renovation! There is clearly a lack of leadership or an eye for the essentials. The window in the room couldn't be opened and the frame was moldy. Cannot be closed in the bathroom. The two guys at the reception were very nice and friendly, I have to say! The girl at the bar with pink hair didn't say hello, ask for drinks or anything... we were invisible and annoying as guests! The dinner was ok, but not worth mentioning in terms of taste. The 2 older women at breakfast were so unfriendly and you just had the feeling of being a nuisance again. Breakfast buffet carelessly prepared. It's even worse in Balloch, we had that 2 years ago, but also much better in Luss 2019. We're definitely not coming back!

The best staff I've ever met the most delicious food and cocktails excited to come annually.

Highly recommendable to stay and/or eat at this place. Welcoming staff, very friendly. Cosy room, comfy bed, clean. Had dinner and breakfast there as well, very good food and many veggie and vegan options. Thank you very much!

We turned up on the busiest Saturday going, Old Firm day, the glasses were piled high. The staff were brilliant, they worked so hard to keep drinks flowing. There was a lovely atmosphere in the place. We decided to stay for dinner, we were shown to our seats, and warned there was a big party of guests in, so it might take awhile for our food. I have waited a lot longer in less busy establishments. The food was exceptional and the waiting staff, so friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this place.

Had a lunch in the bar. Was freezing, aircon dull in. Vegan tortellini were okay.

A busy afternoon but the waitresses worked hard to fit everyone.(thanks to Debbie and Kim )...food nice..

Only visited ,did not stay ,but looks very comfortable and good location

Been coming here for a while great atmosphere and food highly recommend

Coming here for years for a drink, the staff have always been amazing! The food is fast out and worth the money & the location is excellent for playing pool and showing sports. Highly recommended

Disappointed by the limited menu when sitting outside. I understand its easier for the staff, but the choices on the indoor menu are much more appealing.

Had a lovely meal here over the weekend, fantastic food and a great beer garden

This comment is only about the restaurant. Service was a bit slow but the food was excellent. I had the hunter's chicken (with upgrade to sweet potato fries) and my wife the mushroom Wellington. An enjoyable meal!

We stopped for a light lunch and were very impressed..the portion sizes and choice were great and Debbie and Kim were excellent, both being very friendly and polite 😀

Everytime we are up this way, we pop in for a drink. Lovely staff and in an excellent location as well.

Absolutely amazing service, from everyone but particularly Chris. We didnt have a reservation and they managed to find us a table, then moved us to a better seat ( away from a noisy group - not that we were complaining about the noise ) Really friendly from start to finish, even though it was crazy busy. Food was exceptional. Great choice and resonable prices. 100% recommend, for service alone, never mind the food! Thanks for making us so welcome! We will be back.

Pop down to Balloch for a walk around the country park then popped into The Tullie Inn - our server was Farrah and she was fantastic food was amazing as always 😋 My husband and son had burgers 🍔 and I was on my best behavior and had a salad 🥗 with chicken 🐔 and bacon 🥓. Service was fast and extremely friendly, we always pop in when down and will definitely be back.

It looks really good but sadly it just looks better then it is. There was a lot of sockets of electricity that didn't work in the room, a light in the bathroom wasn't working, the room is big and spacious but it wasn't as good as it seems. Same for the food in their restaurant - it looked good but wasn't as good as it seemed. For some reason we woke up early to loud noises, after leaving the room we discovered that they put in the hallway around 30 bags of laundry etc, and it was really early in the morning, not the time for it (disturbing the guests in a few rooms). The location is great!

Just stopped by for food on our travels and thoroughly enjoyed our meals! Never caught our servers name but were very friendly. Good selection of beers. Will be back when we’re next out that way!

Great place to visit with excellent staff service. Good venue for food, sport and a game of pool. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back. Thanks for everything.

Was in balloch today so stopped in for some food & drinks. Great selection and food was delicious. Service was excellent. Will definitely be visiting again 👍

Great venue. Has a super lunch and a couple of drinks.....

Had lovely stay here over the weekend. The rooms were nice, lovely decor and comfortable. The service from David and the team was spot on. Food was fantastic with lots to choose from and drinks were great too. Highly recommend here for a visit and look forward to coming back again soon 😊

Had a evening meal! I had bugger and chunky chips no complaints at all! The wife had venison pie, mash and veg! The pie was lovely ( very tender meat and good pastry) the veg a little disappointing, A bit dried up. Please take it as constructive criticism! We wouldn't think twice about coming again. Ps: loch lomond beer was spot on!!

This is a lovely resturant next to the train station. The menu has a wide selection and the prices very reasonable. Our servers, Debbie and Mary, were lovely and their service was excellent.

We stopped for a Sunday roast on a day visit to Loch Lomond, and it was really busy as the Kilt Walk was on. The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating and friendly, despite being extremely busy. Our server was Kim and she was very efficient and helpful. The food was delicious, all three of us enjoyed the meal. A Sunday roast comes with unlimited roasties, Yorkshire puds and gravy! I didn’t think the giant pigs in blanket was very good value for money, but that is my only negative. Would definitely recommend and come back again

A couple of local people said this place was good for food. Well it certainly was not ! Seating area at the front ‘glazed area’ was excellent but our food was poor. My wife had the fish cake with fries and it tasted awful and looked like a green mess inside. I had the steak sandwich which had a large lump of gristle in it. Generally tasteless as well. Do not recommend this place at all.

Visited in March 2024 the food was spot on, drinks were good aswell, staff were great and friendly definitely be back again.

I had a Turkey Sunday Roast here on a visit to Balloch today. It was excellent, one of the best meals Ive had in a long time. Everything was hot and the vegetables & potatoes were fresh, roasted and mash , delicious. I thought it was reasonably priced as well. The staff were also very efficient. I will be back and I definitely recommend. The only small thing I didn’t like was that the gravy was on the food. I would have liked to have added that myself.

Following a walk in Balloch Park with our dogs, 3 of us and 4 dogs! We ended up in the Tullie Inn following a not so welcoming visiting to another close by establishment and we were welcomed with open arms! Coffee was an amazing and staff were so friendly! Highly recommended and looking forward to our next visit! Even the dogs loved the attention and the biscuits

Uitstekende service, ruim assortiment, goeie en goed verzorgde voorzieningen, mooi terras, uitstekende prijs kwaliteit

Always a warm welcome and great service. Stand out hospitality from Danny and Mary. I recommend the Balmoral chicken and lamb shank if you are eating there.

Sunday cycle to Balloch from Glasgow,23 miles and looking fwd to Sunday roast,it's a true saying that if you're hungry, you will eat anything.the food was absolutely shocking,I ordered two triple roasts at 17.99 and two pints of ciders.the bill was 52 smthn,anyway was told might be an hour or so that was okay I thought as it was quite busy and we were both hungry.the food arrived and we started to eat the food next minute the waiter appeared back at the table to inform us that he had delivered the wrong food to us????and then brought the two original order,we'll I should have as for my money back there and then,it was smothered in gravy which was all lumps not made correctly (being a chef myself)the mash had been over cooked in chef mike(the microwave).on Monday, I made a call to speak to management, which I did and spoke to Danny. Oh, thanks for emailing me back. Not so on my advice. Stay well away from the tullie Inn in Balloch for Sunday lunch .would be as well throwing your money in Loch lomond
