My wife, two friends, and I booked two rooms at the Luib Hotel recently. We ended up having a late check-in, but the staff were extremely accommodating and friendly right from the start. They even went above and beyond by surprising me with a cake for my birthday! The hospitality here is absolutely top-notch. Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area.

This is a nice old hotel. They even upgraded our room for no reason. It is an old building, that’s part of the charm, but very well maintained and up to date furnishings. There’s a cozy restaurant down stairs and the grilled fish was very tasty.

First of all, I wanted to love this hotel. It’s not common to say you stayed in a century old crofters lodge. Unfortunately, despite the lovely tartan carpet, blankets and general scottish decor this hotel is in desperate need of an overhaul. Pros: -Authentic scottish decor including tartan carpets -Great service upon our arrival from the young man tending the check-ins and pub who made sure we were able to order a late dinner -Good food & drinks in the pub which had a charming cozy vibe -Lots of parking Cons: -It smells terrible throughout the hotel like musty old cigarettes. Our clothing smelled the next morning -The bed linens & towels were also smelly & felt a bit damp- we all felt itchy upon our departure -Room & bathroom could use a THOROUGH deep cleaning -No face cloths provided & only 1 roll of toilet paper provided -Lamp for the double bed had no plug-in so couldn’t use it -Not enough plugs to charge devices overnight

A gem

The Luib hotel is a gem in a beautiful location. The fish we had for dinner were superb, and the breakfast was exceptional but what made our stay extra special was the friendliness and attentiveness of the staff. Would definitely stay again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Charming and a little bit quirky, a nice place to stay in the countryside. The hotel is in an old building and has great views out the back and behind the car park. There is plenty of parking and the bar and restaurant are cozy and inviting. One of our beds was a bit lumpy, but other than that, everythings was comfortable.

The Luib was a little tired looking in places but only to be expected after all as this old drovers inn is around 400yrs old. The staff were friendly, helpful & very informative on the history of the place. The food was good especially the fab fresh fish & the cost of accommodation was very reasonable. Definitely would recommend staying here
