"After spending a week travelling around West coast of Scotland our last night was in beautiful Callander. Arrived at hotel to a warm welcome from Leon and Nicole.. check in was easy and we were shown to room 1.. lovely clean, bright airy room with a massive and exceptionally comfortable bed, had ensuite shower room, tv and plenty room to unpack. Had a few drinks then dinner in the restaurant, again, service was friendly but professional, food was delicious Balmoral chicken and Balmoral steak) with an enormous Eton mess to share. Our dog Ronny was also made very welcome . After a great sleep we had breakfast poached eggs and pancakes) which was perfect.. Hotel is on the main high street, central to all the lovely shops etc.. we just parked beside hotel.. Will definitely return to the Waverley as the staff and service is spot on. Highly recommend"

"Ended a weeks stay in the Trossachs by booking a special evening out. Did my research and found Callendar meadows had lots of amazing reviews so went with that. We chose from a set menu good choices which also catered well for vegetarians. So glad we went. Every course was (home) cooked, using fresh seasonal ingredients and each meal was faultless. We started with homemade bread, olives and hummus have to mention these were unusually good olives. We chose asparagus panna cotta and chicken live parfait as starters, which tasted as good as they looked both presented beautifully. Soup was carrot and orange , brought in a pretty teacup, with garlic croutons, a swirl of creme fraiche and chopped chives the best carrot soup we’ve ever had. For our main courses, we chose baked cod with cheese topping and bean stuffed red pepper. Again, both cooked to perfection, hugely tasty and delicious accompaniments. Puddings again were such well thought out dishes we had a mango mousse and bread&butter pudding thought to just name them is to understate their quality in terms of flavour, freshness and presentation. As well as the food, the dining room needs a mention. Beautiful front room in a beautiful house (also a B&B though we weren’t staying). The atmosphere was relaxed even though we felt we were dining so well. Some diners were dressed up, some dressed more relaxed all felt right and comfortable. Around 7 or 8 tables in all ensured a personal, friendly service . I can’t end this review without mentioning Theo. He was working alongside the owner, and seemingly being trained along the way. He was absolutely lovely and has the makings of a very good waiter/server/host friendly, attentive, just nicely confident, able to provide detail as of food when asked etc. Many thanks to the whole team, we had a truly wonderful evening with you. If we return to the area, we will absolutely be returning to Callander Meadows."

"After being disappointed by another restaurant that closed without informing us about our reservation, we were warmly greeted by a very friendly waitress at this restaurant. She showed us to our table and took our order. Our fortune turned around when the waitress informed us..."

"One of the things I love about Scotland is that tucked away in the most remote places are wonderful businesses producing the best for the rest of the world. Brewdog, Bruichladdich and Mhor Fish Sometimes the Scots are the last to know. Callander is not a big place but somehow they got this. The Lewis siblings got together and decided to create the best fish and chip shop on the planet. Completely non veggie friendly, they use beef fat for their frying oil. In fact, everything is chosen to provide the best food experience for the patrons. But the main thing is IT IS A BLOODY CHIPPIE. How cool is that? What if there was a little pub in Northern Scotland that decided to become the best Belgian beer purveyor. All of the locals are sipping Le Chouffe and fabulous Krieks. This place does make more sense. Belgium is a bit of trek, but Mhor Fish is stupidly close to some stunning fresh fish right out of the sea hours from water to lips. So get yourself to Callander, you probably already go. Go to the takeaway window or walk into the cafe. Have the best fish supper of your life and then walk around the town. And then think to yourself Scotland it is not a bad place to be."

"My bloke and I called here for a takeaway coffee on our way home to Livingston after a long drive. We'd tried another café (our usual go-to) but they were closed. Not only were the 2 lady staff in the Old Bank pleasant and friendly, especially as we'd arrived just before 5pm and they were about to close, but we were given 2 cups of great quality latte and not charged at all!! THIS will be our go-to from now on"
