At Luib Hotel, guests consistently praise the warm, welcoming hosts and the character of the historic inn, while feedback on rooms and dining varies, with some enjoying comfortable stays and meals and others noting dated features and limited menu choices.
Several reviews highlight traffic noise from the roadside location and thin soundproofing. Comfort and cleanliness are mixed, with some cozy, clean rooms and others citing lumpy mattresses, maintenance issues, and intermittent hot water or heating. Best for a basic, scenic overnight stay on a driving route.

Old hotel and bar. Good sized full Scottish breakfast. Plaid carpets and old wood staircases. Be careful with SatNav as it will take you to an empty hotel closer to Crianlarich. If driving from Crianlarich keep going past the closed hotel on the right and you will find Luib Hotel on your left about 1/2 mile further on from where SatNav says it should be.

The hotel had an attached lot for convenient parking and a restaurant on site. We had a delicious meal for dinner during our one night stay. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom could’ve been a bit cleaner.

Very basic hotel. Room was a bit tired and rundown. The bar/restaurant smelled of dirty cooking oil which was quite unpleasant and it lingered on hair and clothes. Only stayed as a stop off on the way to our holiday destination so it served its purpose, but not worth the price.

Very welcoming staff and perfectly good facilities. Excellently located for travelling north. Had a lovely drink in the bar with an open fire in the evening. Only problem with our stay was that the room was incredibly cold when we arrived with heating off and window open. The room did heat up a little by the time we returned from the bar but getting into bed felt like climbing into a block of ice. The heating even went off during the night and we woke up cold multiple times. In the morning the breakfast was lovely with really excellent service and delicious cooked breakfast. bathroom facilities were clean and shower was quite satisfying and very warm.

Facilities very basic. Small room, no hot water for shower in middle of the day. We weren’t offered any breakfast choices other than a Scottish breakfast - though this was quite good. The building is old and needs some attention. It’s also right on the side of the A85 so there is traffic noise, even at night. The meal we had at dinner one evening was ok, but very limited choice. The plus point was that the owners/staff were very friendly and the beer was good 😃

Beautiful location and nice people. Owners said 10 pm was quite time but stayed up until 11:30 talking very loudly which kept us awake. Don’t eat there; small menu with mediocre food. Eat in Killin. The room had a cracked window with peeling paint. The inn needs a fair amount of up keep. Not worth the money.

The owners were kind and helpful at getting us checked in and showing us our rooms. The place was sufficient for our needs but not ideal. There were no outlets in our room that were reachable. We had to plug things in in the hallway. Our bedding was clean, but the extra pillows on the top of the cabinet did not have changed pillow cases and had hair on them.

Worst experience ever! For some reason The hotel was booked for 2 adults and not included my 2 boys , when we arrived at the hotel very late at the night, the arrogant and mean private hotel owner didn’t allow more than 2 people in the room even including children. Since no ways to find other hotels nearby, my husband and one boy had to sleep in the car. I knew it’s kind of my fault and made rush reservations, but never had issues before, and most hotels accommodate children stays. The hotel itself is very old, has creaky floors, I can hear people’s snoring at the next room. Dark hallways and stairs, easily trip. The hotel was not worth it for the price, would not recommend.

The countryside around the property was beautiful. The hotel was right on the roadside, so you could hear the cars driving by. Since there was no were else to eat close by, it was practical to be able to eat there, but the fare was simple with no fresh options, such as salads. Some of the mattresses sank in the middle and the coils could be felt. I tried to sleep on a pillow for this reason. The bathroom window was moldy and the moldy smell carried over into the room. Everything was well meant, but really needs updating and renovations. If you can afford to stay somewhere else, do that.

Really great hotel. Staff were very welcoming, room was cute with a view over the fields. Bed was comfy. Tea, coffee and biscuits in room with a kettle. Central heating in room and easily controlled. Had the evening meal which had a choice of about 6 items all priced at £13 apart from the steak which was £19 but was huge. Chef was excellent, I had freshly causing fish in bread crumbs with chips and it was gorgeous. Breakfast was a traditional Scottish cooked breakfast and again was perfect. The staff were the real charm of this place with everyone engaging and working hard. There was no wifi as there were issues but had enough 4g signal to use my data for downloading stuff. But you are in the middle of a valley in the Highlands so to be expected but did not detract from the stay.

Situated in a beautiful location, the beds were very comfortable and staff friendly. However, the plumbing isn't great as the shower varied between a scalding dribble and a cold flood whenever anybody else in the hotel turned a tap. However, the biggest problem for us was the very limited menu and there are no alternative places to eat nearby. There are no starters or desserts and a choice of just five main courses, four for us as one had sold out. Nothing at all for vegetarians. The cooked breakfast was good quality but there were no cereals, juices or fruit. It was great to be able to open the window fully in the room but it was the start of the midge season so we left it shut. Not well soundproofed.

It is a beautiful 17th century building, quirky and old. Maybe because it is out of high season, they had a very limited selection of food and drink and it just felt like we were too much trouble? The fan in the bathroom was really noisy which is a problem for late night needs and the mattress was super soft and lumpy!

My son and I spent one night here on May 2, 2025. It was an exhausting day because we were lied to and ripped off by Europcar. We couldn’t get any roadside assistance even though we paid extra for it Upon arrival at the Luib, we were met with understanding and caring. They have a small staff and a tough job. The owners are very successful people and have owned a number of businesses in Europe and now live in their hometown. I bonded with them and staff immediately. Some reviewers are upset that they were denied bathroom amenities. Sadly, I can see how some entitled people treat the Luib like it’s a public rest stop with free public amenities. That happens to them constantly. The Luib has so much character inside that you really do need to stop here. If not staying the night, go there in the evening for drinks, conversation and atmosphere. I was shown genuine kindness by the owners and hope to see them again next year. We were very satisfied with our stay and the ambience was priceless. Highly recommend.

The proprietor John was quite a character. We had a spirited conversation after breakfast. He makes the Luib hotel a standout destination

Stayed one night in this historic Drovers Inn. I loved it. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was good and reasonably priced. Will definitely stay here again.

Location
Scenic countryside setting beside the main road makes it a convenient stop along routes near Crianlarich and Killin. Roadside placement brings traffic noise, and alternatives for dining nearby are limited.

Old hotel and bar. Good sized full Scottish breakfast. Plaid carpets and old wood staircases. Be careful with SatNav as it will take you to an empty hotel closer to Crianlarich. If driving from Crianlarich keep going past the closed hotel on the right and you will find Luib Hotel on your left about 1/2 mile further on from where SatNav says it should be.

Beautiful location and nice people. Owners said 10 pm was quite time but stayed up until 11:30 talking very loudly which kept us awake. Don’t eat there; small menu with mediocre food. Eat in Killin. The room had a cracked window with peeling paint. The inn needs a fair amount of up keep. Not worth the money.

Being Scotland, places can be old and that is the charm. The Inn could use some lights in the hallways for night time, but the beds were comfortable, it was quiet at night and there are beautiful fields behind it. The cook had been sick for a while, so the nice lady that checked us in suggested the Courie Inn in Killin, which was excellent. Killin is a great town about a 5-10 min drive away with a gorgeous river and really lovely places to eat, stay and even an old castle.

Luib hotel was a convenient stop on our journey west. There was no hot water in the bathroom in the morning apart from an electric shower. Bacon, sausage, egg and tomato and toast were the only breakfast options.

Situated in a beautiful location, the beds were very comfortable and staff friendly. However, the plumbing isn't great as the shower varied between a scalding dribble and a cold flood whenever anybody else in the hotel turned a tap. However, the biggest problem for us was the very limited menu and there are no alternative places to eat nearby. There are no starters or desserts and a choice of just five main courses, four for us as one had sold out. Nothing at all for vegetarians. The cooked breakfast was good quality but there were no cereals, juices or fruit. It was great to be able to open the window fully in the room but it was the start of the midge season so we left it shut. Not well soundproofed.

Very welcoming staff and perfectly good facilities. Excellently located for travelling north. Had a lovely drink in the bar with an open fire in the evening. Only problem with our stay was that the room was incredibly cold when we arrived with heating off and window open. The room did heat up a little by the time we returned from the bar but getting into bed felt like climbing into a block of ice. The heating even went off during the night and we woke up cold multiple times. In the morning the breakfast was lovely with really excellent service and delicious cooked breakfast. bathroom facilities were clean and shower was quite satisfying and very warm.

The countryside around the property was beautiful. The hotel was right on the roadside, so you could hear the cars driving by. Since there was no were else to eat close by, it was practical to be able to eat there, but the fare was simple with no fresh options, such as salads. Some of the mattresses sank in the middle and the coils could be felt. I tried to sleep on a pillow for this reason. The bathroom window was moldy and the moldy smell carried over into the room. Everything was well meant, but really needs updating and renovations. If you can afford to stay somewhere else, do that.

Really great hotel. Staff were very welcoming, room was cute with a view over the fields. Bed was comfy. Tea, coffee and biscuits in room with a kettle. Central heating in room and easily controlled. Had the evening meal which had a choice of about 6 items all priced at £13 apart from the steak which was £19 but was huge. Chef was excellent, I had freshly causing fish in bread crumbs with chips and it was gorgeous. Breakfast was a traditional Scottish cooked breakfast and again was perfect. The staff were the real charm of this place with everyone engaging and working hard. There was no wifi as there were issues but had enough 4g signal to use my data for downloading stuff. But you are in the middle of a valley in the Highlands so to be expected but did not detract from the stay.

Sue & John run a really lovely place. Incredibly clean and well maintained, no old muggy smell. Rooms were cozy and beds comfortable. Food for breakfast was also lovely and dinner especially. Good location for being able to get to the highlands not to far away as well as seeing local villages.

It is a beautiful 17th century building, quirky and old. Maybe because it is out of high season, they had a very limited selection of food and drink and it just felt like we were too much trouble? The fan in the bathroom was really noisy which is a problem for late night needs and the mattress was super soft and lumpy!

A no stress experience. Decent room & menus. Plenty of parking, and a really warm welcome from the owners John & Sue who went out of their way to make us feel at home. John even drove the 7 miles into Crianlarich one evening to collect 3 elderly female guests who could not find a taxi to take them to the hotel from the station.
