Great food in cozy village

The Black Bull was built as an inn in 1740. Gartmore is a quaint village with nearby walking paths. There are no shops or other things, but it is beautiful for it's countryside views and a nearby path. Also, the food is outstanding at the Black Bull. The menu is small but the chef makes it all count with each plate masterfully executed. I had a traditional chicken recipe stuffed with haggis and it was so tender and flavorful. I had to personally go thank the chef; it was just that tasty.

Lovely community run pub with loads of local history and great location in heart of the village. Friendly and helpful staff offered great service. Pub grub delivered with a smile and good value and very tasty. Breakfast cooked to order by the Chef and excellent start to the day. My second visit and certainly not my last. Thank you BB 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.

Rural, but poor setup

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
