Black Bull Gartmore

Well signposted and so very easy to find! Very friendly welcome, comfortable, cosy bar and pretty decent food. Our room was large with a huge bed and the only negative was the condensation on the inside of the windows.

An amazing place to stay, extremely freindly excellent roomand good food on offer.

Most amazing stay at this Community Owned pub and and inn. The room was lovely and we enjoyed our evening in the pub with the locals, learning the history of the area. Food was fantastic, fire was cozy and it was fun watching the football match with them. Charming and wonderful. thank you!

rural setting, chosen because it is 30-40 minutes from Loch Lomand, Stirling, and Glasgow. Pictured an inn with grounds to wander on, wide open spaces. Just the opposite-tiny space with no grounds, no parking, just a couple of picnic tables outside. Very little contact moving in. No offered help in figuring out where and how to park, no offered help in lugging luggage up narrow stairs to the third floor. Room with queen so tiny a suitcase could not be opened, even on the floor. Barely room to walk around the bed itself. Bath tiny, but adequate with shower. Food good on site. A one night stay at the most. We made the mistake of booking three

Stayed for a wedding, all the staff were amazing, (especially Jack and his cocktails), really friendly, very helpful and the place just had such an overall chill community vibe. Would stay again. Room was MASSIVE, cosy and really clean.Food was amazing too!

Loved everything about this hotel, the room (so comfortable), the shower, the restaurant (we were here twice and the food was amazing) the people. Excellent place to stay. Will definitely come back!

Beautiful inn. Top notch room, comfortable, roomy and of high standard. The breakfast was delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Accueil très sympathique autant pour l’hotel que le restaurant. Petit hôtel-restaurant-pub charmant, bien ecossais ! Dans la deco et l'ambiance. Tout le confort et le calme. Parking. Petit dejeuner typique et copieux. Le tout dans un joli petit village ! Un excellent souvenir !

it was a very unique property as part of the property was owned by the town people who had gotten together to save the property from foreclosure and built an amazingly large gourmet restaurant for the whole town to enjoy

Classic rooms above the restaurant and pub. Rooms were upstairs as to be expected and small but Great en-suite bath. Dinner was fantastic as was breakfast.

The place was charming, friendly and the pub was a good time.

Clean and comfortable room in a small town. Extremely friendly staff. The food was excellent and great selection of beers.

The old inn was reborn as a community-driven hotel. You’ll meet volunteers and wonderful and kind staff. Breakfast is ordered the day before - choose a time and just show up. Restaurant was perfect for dinner - tasty and wholesome dishes at low prices. The bar also sells cocktails, wine and beer at very low prices. We stayed in one of two rooms on the top floor. Comfortable and very clean. But with just one very small window that opens there’s no way to really get air through the room. After a bath or a warm day it gets very damp. Maybe the sky window could be replaced with one that opens?

A hidden gem! What an awesome place in a quiet super friendly town in a beautiful area of Scotland. We only stayed one night and regret not having time to stay a couple more nights. We spent 10 days touring Scotland, the staff at Black Bull were by far the most pleasant and accommodating. Chatting with local town folks in the pub was a memorable experience. Can’t say enough good things about the experience. Highly recommend fitting a night at the Black Bull Gartmore into your vacation schedule. Steve - Canada

My goal was to find unique accommodations on our recent roadtrip through Scottish Highlands. Black Bull Inn did not disappoint. Our room was newly renovated and had so much charm. Great bathroom with large shower. The staff were welcoming and addressed our issues very promptly. I loved the breakfast options and the meal was ready for the time we requested. The one glitch was we had arrived 1 minute after the kitchen closed which was disappointing as no other restaurants were open in the area. Keep that in mind.

Friendly staff

Very warm welcome to this very historic pub in a delightful village. It ticked all the boxes & we both had the best night’s sleep for a long time. Can highly recommend this pub & we would certainly return if we were in the area again.

Very much enjoyed the dinner, absolutely delicious, as well as our breakfast. Our waitress even gave us suggestions for places to visit off the beaten path. We went to The Devil’s Pulpit and Lennox Castle - both unusual and happy for the recommendation. This has been one of our favorite places to stay on our 2 week Scotland trip.

Great dinner in their restaurant. Large comfortable king bed. Good breakfast selection. Friendly staff. Didn't like - small bathroom towels

We enjoyed our stay. The inn is traditional and the rooms are updated. We would stay again.
