We stopped at the Black Bull on route to the highlands, in mid January. We had a really nice experience, the story of the pub being restored by the community was fantastic. We had a comfortable room, no issues. We ate in the bar, the welcome from staff and locals was lovely. Roaring fire good food and company. Would definitely stay again. Only tip for January, put the heating on from 6 rather than 7. Great breakfast too.

A lovely friendly hotel, the room was spotless, the food was amazing, everyone was very friendly. The pub had as roaring fire going it was so cosy and homely. After our superb breakfast our chef chatted in great depth about the history of Gartmore. There?s a room with lots of photos about the history, will definitely be back and would recommend the black bull to family and friends. Willie and June Brown from Fife.Rooms: Lovely and clean and huge bed!Food & drinks: Great food and great value

We had a lovely dinner over the Black Bull Inn in Gartmore. The food was great and the service was good too.

The building has such a great history. Make sure you read about it before or when visiting, because you will look with a different mindset.The rooms where clean and the bed enormous. The carpet was not that clean, because of kind of big spots, but maybe that is fixable. The shower is great. And the food and the people are so kind and friendly!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Black Bull recently. The setting, the pub, the restaurant and the rooms were all fantastic and we felt very well looked after throughout. All the staff we met were kind, friendly and extremely helpful and we felt warmly welcomed. We had an evening meal which was delicious and very good value and our breakfast was cooked to order and was really superb. We will definitely be returning and I would highly recommend a stay here!

We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom was lovely, a super room. Great breakfast and very friendly in the bar in the evening. The Black Bull is a great location to explore the local area. Would definitely recommend.

In rural Scotland in a very small community a perfect hide out with 6 very comfortable and clean rooms with perfect breakfast and dinner possibilities and a very friendly and cooperative staff. Such a relief and difference from other Inn?s. Highly recommended ??

We had dinner once and the food was surprisingly good! We stayed for 2 nights, we really liked our room and we loooved the breakfast! We enjoyed our stay and we recommend this place but keep in mind that there is not much to do around.

We stayed here for one night. The check in time said after 5pm but we arrived about an hour before this but we were able to check in as the room was ready. The room was nice and big with a king size bed, which was very comfy, and a decent size bathroom with large shower. It looked freshly decorated and was nice and clean. There was a kettle with tea/coffee and a couple of biscuits. The in room TV had freeview channels. There was free WIFI but I think the area was having some WIFI issues and it took a while to connect, eventually we got it to work. The Inn has a restaurant and bar on site, which also serves food. We ate in the bar for dinner and we both had a burger with chunky chips that were really good. The inn is in a small village and it was very peaceful causing us to sleep well. There was breakfast included in the room price but you need to choose the hot breakfast items the night before and hand it in to the bar downstairs. This wasn't an issue for us and they had a good selection to choose from and included vegan sausages. There was also other items at breakfast which you just helped yourself to, i.e fruit juice, natural yoghurt, cereal and fresh fruit, toast was also provided. The breakfast was cooked well and was good. All the staff were helpful and attentive, we would recommend a stay here.

A lovely little pub with rooms set in amazing countryside. Just on the eastern edge of Loch Lomond national park, this is a personal, well presented hotel. The rooms are comfortable (bed was firm and lovely pillows). Bathroom was modern and clean. Food (dinner and breakfast) was lovely - you place the order the night before so it is cooked for you. Would recommend.
