The Old Rectory Country Inn “Comfortable rooms. Great Food. And a warm welcome” A Family business started 12 years ago saw a building - formally The Church Rectory - go through a much needed transformation and over the years has built up a reputation based on quality. The atmosphere of the inn is informal, as it should be, and friendly with a good core of regular custom both for food and drink. Gray’s Scottish Restaurant at The Old Rectory is named after a past owner” Reverend Alan Gray”, and is brought right up to date by Tim and Jane Warbrick, Tim being The Reverend Grays Grandson. If you are looking for traditional choices using local produce where possible or delicious food, with a modern take on traditional classics then The Old Rectory Inn is just the place for you. One of the most popular pub restaurants in Callander, The Old Rectory Inn has earned itself a reputation for providing good quality food cooked by our very own in house chef. “Our 3 Course Sunday Roast Menu is Legendary” Take a look at our menus; we think you'll find plenty to tempt you. The Old Rectory Inn is a great place to eat, drink and relax with friends and family. Our Pub forms the backbone of The Old Rectory Inn and a warm welcome invites you into our cosy bar area where we have selected beers, lagers and ciders available in bottles and on draught. On warm, sunny days the garden allows for outside dining. We Have Live Contempary Scottish Music here every Wednesday Night the occasional Saturday night and Sunday Afternoons (musicians also sourced locally where possible). We host Quiz night every Tuesday night, our quizzes are good fun and not taken too seriously at all. Our spirit collection is vast, with an array of gins, we also have a hefty whisky collection including local and further afield whiskies. If you're looking to get together with friends, The Old Rectory Inn is one of the best places in the area to swap stories, drink in the atmosphere and savour some great drinks with some great characters. Remember that we host live music in the Whisky Library so before you book, please check with us first if you do not like the sound of people enjoying themselves!!!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We arrived at the Old Rectory Inn after a full day of sightseeing and at the beginning of catching a cold. I just wanted to fall into bed. However, Saturday nights the Inn has a local musician playing folk music. While he was quite good, I had no choice but to listen to him while he played until midnight. I could also hear the other patrons talking below as they exited the Inn, as our room was in the front of the building. Speaking of the room, it was tiny, with about 18" on each side of the bed. The heat was not on and took about 30 minutes to achieve a temperature that allowed us to take off our jackets. The staff was very nice and breakfast the next morning was lovely. I just would have liked to have the option to listen to the music, as opposed to being forced to listen to it.

Having read the reviews and the description we were rather surprised and disappointed when we arrived. Perhaps just an off day for the Rectory Inn or simply that we were spoilt at the previous Hotel on our trip where we found the hosts so friendly and welcoming with lovely rooms and clean attractive public areas. Sorry to say we found non of the above at the Rectory Inn. Know it is an old building but there is a difference between Character and looking tired. Have stayed at so much nicer more welcoming accommodation at a fraction of the price. Did not help that we were put in a cramped side room overlooking the bins. Also have to say it was probably the least Dog friendly place we have ever stayed despite the description which should have read as Pets barely tolerated at an extra charge. Looking for positives a good location on the main road with ample parking if passing through Callander and a lovely cheerful lady serving behind the bar in the evening where we had a tasty meal.

Went to the curry and tunes night, while staying in Callander. Lovely food, great service, friendly staff and locals. Had a great night foot tapping and clapping along to Pure Malt Scottish folk band. Would recommend to anyone staying in the area

Decided to stop off here to break a journey up to the Highlands. What a pleasant surprise we had. Arrived mid - afternoon (earlier than anticipated) and the place was closed. The doorbell was answered promptly and we were welcomed and shown to our room. The room was cosy and spotlessly clean. I fancied a pint but unfortunately the Bar didn't open until 5. However we settled for a cup of coffee in the room. At 5 o'clock on the button we went down to the bar and enjoyed several glasses before deciding to go in for our meal in the adjoining restaurant. What a superb value for money menu. The meal was first class and thoroughly enjoyed by us both. If I thought that meal was good then then the freshly cooked genuine Scottish breakfast was even better. It was without doubt one of the nicest I have tasted in a long time. If you are looking for excellent value for money, friendly owners and staff and comfy clean rooms then look no further. My advice - Book early. We will return

Nicely decorated spacious room with a comfy bed and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The breakfast was delicious. The lovely staff were very accommodating and provided a vegan cooked breakfast including tasty sausages and haggis.

Stayed here as a pre Christmas weekend away.Bit nervous about bringing our dog, but couldn’t have been more welcome.We stayed in the Venacher room, beautiful big room, nice shower, great touch with coffee machine and Alexa system.Meals here have been brilliant and the Steak night 2 steaks for £30 and wine( we don’t drink wine but we were offered a sweet) was brilliant value. Breakfast choice’s fantastic, all freshly sourced and piping hot with choice of cereals as well as cooked.For the dog, miles of fantastic walks, very safe as off road and pathed with lots to see an information landmarks, have lived in this area for years and didn’t know some of the history!!! All the staff were so welcoming and nothing was too much trouble.Fabulous singer performing last night, ignore the reviews about not sleeping because of entertainment, sound isn’t too loud and finishes at 11.It was nice drifting off to some great tunes, this will be our go to place now for the winter, we will book again before we leave!

Went for dinner on Saturday night, thought they couldn’t take us but came out to the car park and called us back. Saturday is the 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £30. Steak was cooked to perfection and a lovely wee bottle of Merlot just finished it off. Couldn’t finish it and took home two half steaks to have on a sandwich next day - was blooming lovely then too. Thankyou so much for calling us back - we will be back soon👏👏👏👏

Spent a couple of nights in sleepy Callander this August. The Old Rectory was a charming place. Staff were friendly. We chatted to Peter (I think) who worked in the bar/restaurant. Food was decent and filling. Breakfast was also good, with a range of choices. There was live music in the bar one evening which was filled with a mix of tourists and friendly locals. There was a decent amount of parking outside. Beer garden was a pleasant place to sit. Our room was compact but served it's purpose. Wifi worked fine. This inn is definitely a solid choice whilst visiting the Trossachs area.

Stayed for one night. Lovely room (TV was very small but we didn't use it anyway) . We had dinner in the restaurant. Not a huge choice but what we had was delicious, with generous portion size. Friendly and helpful staff. They had entertainment on (Wednesday night) which was absolutely brilliant. A duo called Pure Malt. Traditional tunes, and excellent singers. Great atmosphere. Lovely breakfast in the morning. A most enjoyable night away. We will be back!!!
