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.

Perfect village stay
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.

It is located in a quaint little, friendly town and was easy to find. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good. The room was clean and comfortable. It was interesting to read about the history of the town and the hotel.

Very nice old inn. Lots of history and I love these smaller B&Bs. This was very spacious, clean and quiet. Food was good. Check-in was confusing. No front desk, went to the bar and found some help. I thought I reserved 2 twin beds but got a king sized bed instead. So my mom and I had to share a bed, again, for the night. Reserving these is very confusing on Expedia and may be worth calling the place itself first or sending a message that you want the king bed separated.

Authentic Village Inn and Pub
So I loved the concept of this Inn and Pub. The village folks own and volunteer there! They recently remodeled and our room was lovely. We had a wonderful breakfast prepared by volunteer Edith as the chef was taking a small vacation. This is a good location to explore the Trossachs.

I love this gorgeous community pub. The rooms are luxurious, the atmosphere is friendly, the breakfasts are delicious. I was attending a course at Gartmore House and it was a joyous walk each day. I also had to leave very early on the last day and not only did they leave me a breakfast out but also made me a pack lunch. So kind and thoughtful.
