Ahhh this takes me back. This was my first watering hole, back when it was called the Cladhan…read more These days it's a family run hotel/restaurant/bar which, whilst not up market, offers a good value, tasty meal from a large menu. I've eaten here many times in the past (I even got married here) and it's never disappointed. It's never amazed me either but that's not the point. This is a local eatery, reliable, and dependable with a menu that rarely changes, I'm sure there is a hotel like this in every large town in Scotland. Tonight I had the Boston burger which was tasty enough if a little overcooked, bacon, mozarella and BBQ sauce, with a good portion of chunky chips. My Dad had the New York strip steak, which comes in a nice dark bbq sauce with fried mushrooms, and my Mum had the haggis stack. All scoffed down with little complaint. The service was ok, a little slow but my parents (who eat here a lot) reckon she was new and we weren't in a hurry anyway. There are better places to eat in the area but for reliability, and good tasty simple food, it's not failed me yet.

Since we could not open the window....it was like being stuffed in a box. We asked for a fan at the desk three times without word or results. Finally, at 10 pm, my husband went down to the desk to ask that they do something or we were going out to the car to sleep. Other people had their window open (you could see if from the outside), but ours had a child-proof metal guide that blocked it. The wallpaper was peeling all over and the carpet had holes. I would not recommend or stay here again.

Big disappointment that the main restaurant was shut as previously the meals me had experienced there were good. We had to eat in the Bar with a very limited menu. Not great. The room (1st Floor) was ok - nothing special but looked as though it had recently been upgraded. Unfortunately, our neighbours were not early bedders and didn't understand how to be quiet. By their accents, they were regular drinkers. Had to go to reception at 0330hrs to request a member of staff to attend to the neighbours - and on arrival at Receptgion, a fight was just startin g, I guess this was not part of the Hotels' Entertainment Programme! A bottle of Buckfast was in evidence so make uo your own mind as to the age profile. Allegedly some of the locals hire a room and divvie up the cost then have a party! So the taxi driver told us. So, beware!!!

Unfortunately we only stayed one night and golfed one round but it took us all of half a day to start planning a loner stay in the future. The restaurant had amazing staff and outstanding food. Every thing we order was amazing. We had drinks at both fantastic bars and the service remained 10 out of 10. The staff here will talk with you. Answer questions. Give you not only the history of the establishment but of Scotland also. The manger will stop and talk with you for however long you decide to engage and they actually really care. Big shout out to Finn. Our waiter for dinner. We will be back. Thank all of you much for making the start of our Scotland trim fantastic. Cheers and see you soon.

Unfortunately for its owners, Bowling still ranks a fair way behind the likes of Helensburgh and Balloch when it comes to tourist magnetism. On the plus side, that means for those who are aware of this place's existence, prices remain local friendly and the bar retains a homely, welcoming charm that's not diluted by floods of visitors popping in. Handily situated beside Bowling train station, one of the most exposed on the line, the Railway Inn not only represents a fantastic place to shelter from the elements but also a cracking spot for some traditional Scottish pub fare. Well worth a visit if you're in the area.
