Lovely local pub, worth the visit! Easy to get to from Stirling and Glasgow. Value for money is much better than what you get in the cities. The views in the area are amazing. Food is absolutely great, especially the Sunday Lunch. The owner and staff are super friendly. Perfect location for a staycation!

We have just returned home after a fabulous weekend at The Cross Keys in Kippen.
The rooms are great as they are spacious and dog friendly.
There is plenty of drinking space with indoor seats in 2 sections of the pub, and an enclosed outdoor garden at the back, with benches in the evening sun at the front.
Great choice of beers, wines and drinks.
THE FOOD HERE IS INCREDIBLE !!
We had breakfast here twice and dinner, the food is really good.
Great quality ingredients have been used and the food here is really really tasty .
We had steamed muscles
If you haven?t had Cullen skink before, definitely be sure to try that - a lovely creamy soup which tasted absolutely incredible and went really well with the steamed muscles.
There is bread and butter which again is really nice tasting granary bread with lovely local butter.
We also had some chicken bites which were really tasty. They were really really good. I would definitely recommend them.
We didn?t have fish and chips, but I saw many of them going out especially with it being Friday and the portions are huge. They also looked really really tasty with big thick triple cooked chips.
The beef burger and the chips are lovely very fresh. Everything was piping hot.
The breakfast was equally incredible with fresh hot sausages potato gone haggis basically everything you need for a great Scottish breakfast.
The whole place is dog friendly
We had our dogs with us in the garden dogs with us in our bedroom and dogs with us at dinner and that breakfast .
Ps the stick it off your pudding was absolutely phenomenal. It was a massive portion with lots of sauce exactly how I like it.
I would definitely recommend this place. The service here is brilliant and the owner is just as lovely too.
A great local pub ran by local people

Popped in for a few drinks as was impressed. It's a oldey worldly pub which I like and plenty of beers on offer. The times on Google are wrong though and not open Monday and Tuesday which was a shame as would have gone more.
Out of the 2 pubs in Kippen it's the better one in my opinion. Definitely worth a visit

An overnight stay as part of our wedding anniversary trip to Stirling .
The pub is located in a lovely village. We were warmly welcomed and shown our room which was clean, comfortable and cosy with a good sized ensuite. We had an excellent dinner and drinks - staff were so helpful and friendly. Breakfast was great - lots of choices and beautifully cooked.
Would definitely recommend

Great pub food. Nice authentic country pub. Lamb roast and Bangers and mash were good.

Lovely stay, brilliant Scottish breakfast, rooms were super clean... sparkling even! Our bedroom door was a little heavy to open but I think that was because they have put new carpets down... they were lovely and fluffy! Beds very comfortable! We had a late check in due to traffic and we had a call ahead from one of the team who advised us of where we could go for a beverage and what was going on which we appreciated. Would definitely recommend and stay again Thank you!!

Great service and attention to detail. The food was great, as was the guest beer Haggis Hunter from a local brewery.

Very nice hostel, we had a twin room, a little narrow but clean and quiet.
We ate in the evening and had breakfast in the morning and it was very nice. By having breakfast, we didn't need to eat the rest of the day :)

Excellent dinner and very good night in Cross Keys. We were well received, the room was certainly small for the suitcases but comfortable, the bathroom was clean and practical, and the general atmosphere at the dinner was very warm.

A fantastic spot for a relaxed stay. Rooms are well appointed and clean, beds are exceptionally comfortable. Pub is lively and popular for good reason, food is a real highlight and the breakfast was excellent.
