    We randomly popped in starving on a Sunday for lunch after taking a wrong turn. Completely new to us so we delighted the food was excellent! The owners were very friendly and the service was great. Pleased they had 0% gin and beers. They had a dog friendly restaurant and I imagine in the summer the garden next to the river would be gorgeous! Top tip- there’s a nice walk along the river Allan to Staward Gorge close by. Park either side of the big stone bridge.

    Thank you to Rob, Jen and their staff for a wonderful 2 night stay at their beautiful country inn. If careers were made for people they are the best example I've seen in a long time. Gorgeous area to explore, surrounded by the most welcoming hosts. Thank you once again

    I really like dropping in here, especially if I'm out on a summer's evening's ride out on the motorbike. It's positioned in a lovely spot by the river and the staff are very chatty, welcoming and the beer garden is a good spot to chill out. Aiming to try their Sunday lunches next time, very popular I hear.

    We had an excellent stay at the Elks Head, Jennifer and all the staff work hard to ensure everything is just right. Our room had a gorgeous river view, the bed was comfortable and spacious. Breakfast was delicious with plenty of various options. We had evening meals and again the food and choice was excellent. Jennifer and her staff ensured our stay happy and friendly.

    Lovely welcoming place, the river right outside. Very helpful staff. Unfortunately we were only there one night and the weather was awful so couldn't take full advantage of the surroundings.

    If you like gourmet pubs/fine dining, then this is more for you. The menu was limited, but there were a lot of specials on the board. Can't fault the quality of the food, but if you're after pub grub (bangers and mash, scampi and chips, etc.) then this isn't one for you. Additionally, I'd suggest that you book a table and don't just turn up.
