The Coach House Lounge - Stirling

Recently spent two nights here. The trip did not start well. My husband and I arrived around the agreed time and followed the instruction to ring the bell.....which we did for a good 10 mins.....no reply. Had to resort to phoning the hotel to tell them we were here. We were met by a somewhat disgruntled lady who.....instead if apologising for our wait proceeded to check the bell we had tried to ring and agreed oh yes it wasn't working. We were shown to our room. The room seemed nice and spacious so we unpacked. We headed to the bar for the promised pub grub and maybe a wee game of pool. The actuality was a pool table pushed into a corner and boarded over......bland overpriced food and warm beer. Things progressed over the weekend. Sunday's breakfast again mediocre culminated in me finding a long blond hair embedded in my bacon rasher.......not good! The cleanliness of our room left much to be desired including cobwebs....a chipped bedside lamp....the kettle on the courtesy tray splashed with the previous occupants coffee and cups and saucers less than immaculate. All in all we spent the best part of £250 for two nights in a most disappointing establishment. I would definitely not recommended this premise.

We had planned to visit here on our first night at killin as there was a band on from 9pm and we were looking forward to some live entertainment. However while trying to book a table for four for tea before the band started we were told the children had to out by 8pm as it was a open bar after that so we couldn't stay to watch the band. We were very disappointed and thought given the very close proximity to the campsite they would attract a lot of trade from families with children there however wasn't to be on our visit shame really.

Friendly owners and a lovely atmosphere. Would thoroughly recommend staying here.We have stayed in hotel accommodation all over Europe and further with mixed results and the Coach House was just what was needed after a long days activities, climbing and travelling. Welcoming hosts and a relaxing feel to the hotel.

Stayed on a B&B basis in the hotel’s front facing Lochay Room. Large, well appointed with small sitting area and very comfortable. Very good breakfast and service from owners was excellent. Would recommend.

Just had a very dissapointing meal at the coach house.
