Balmoral Hotel in Dumfries & Galloway

ROOM In Moffat's tranquil embrace, I found reprieve, A haven amidst the verdant weave. A training course beckoned, a quest for insight, Amidst Moffat's charm, I found respite Upon arrival, greeted with a smile, Room 11, my haven for a while. Spacious and cozy, a TV to see, Tea, coffee, and hot chocolate for me. A fridge stocked with care, milk in a jug, Two cokes, two waters, plenty to glug. Biscuits and sweets, Cadbury's delight, All these comforts made the stay just right. A lounge area, a sanctuary retreat, An en suite bathroom, where luxury meets. A shower hot, to invigorate, Wardrobe, drawers, bedside, complete. Some said the bar below would disturb, Yet in my haven, silence superb. A night of comfort, beyond compare, In Moffat's embrace, without a care. Breakfast Breakfast included, a feast divine, Plentiful and delicious, a sign. Return again? I definitely would, The Balmoral Hotel, exceptionally good. BAR/RESTAURANT Within its walls, a culinary tale, Where flavors dance and dreams prevail. Each dish a masterpiece, a work of art, Served with care, a chef's heartfelt part. Oh, the delights that grace the plate, From hearty pies to seafood's fate. With every bite, a journey begins, A symphony of taste, where happiness wins. Yet not just the food, but the staff's embrace, Friendly and attentive, leaving no trace. Of worry or want, they tend to all needs, Ensuring each guest's satisfaction exceeds. Clean and tidy, the ambiance serene, Where every corner, a beauty unseen. And as the seasons change, a wood burner's glow, Offers warmth and comfort, a gentle flow.

Just popped in for a quick meal and beer and was so impressed with everything. Great home cooked food and prompt service.

Having visited last year, we had no doubt we'd pop in again this visit. Just as nice. Great value bar prices, reasonably priced, tasty food and a lovely little beer garden. Despite being really busy and with only a couple of people working, the staff were attentive and helpful. Will definitely call in again when we're back.

Due to the latest lockdown rules there was nowhere in Moffat to sit in and eat :-( So we decided on some fish and chips. I work in a chippy so have a pretty decent expectation. It was ok, nothing more. Everything was cooked to order, the chips were decent and the fish was a sizeable portion for a "small". The batter was a bit grey and greasy and uninspiring. I'm glad I didn't pay more than a fiver for it.

i had a pint of a really nice cask ale called Beardie Beatnik stout it has a slite taste of chocolate brewed by lowland from lockerbie served in proper glasswith a smile if you like stout it is 5/00 abv best pint i have taste d for a long while go and try it

We were staying in one of this hotel’s lovely cottages and as we always do after a long jouney had booked to eat in the restaurant on the night of our arrival. After this one meal we booked to eat for another 3 nights of our stay.All staff fully masked, sanitiser and Track and Trace in place. Tables well spaced apart. We felt safe and comfortable.I think it would be fair to say that The Balmoral serves a pub grub type of cuisine and does it very well indeed.Over our 4 nights we sampled lasagne, a huge cheese burger, roast beef, roast pork and a chilli con carne. All were just delicious, portions were generous, and good value.Desserts of cheesecake, ice cream and an outstanding sticky toffee pudding were a perfect way to end the meals. Average bill with a drink each was £18 per head, outstanding value.Mention must be made of the staff who in addition to serving in the restaurant had the outside bar to look after and really worked hard to keep a good service going.They were very helpful and pleasant, both at dinner and breakfast, nothing was too much trouble.This was our second visit to The Balmoral and look forward to returning again.

The rear garden is very attractive. The stall were fine but showed no interest in whether our food was of an acceptable standard. The helpings are large. The fish and chips were apparently fine. The lamb tagine wasn't. I didn't expect it to have been made in a tagine but I reasonably expected it to have been made in the style of a tagine and with the essential tagine ingredients. It wasn't. It was bland, as in totally. For £10.95 a seriously poor meal.

I often go here with family or friends, the atmosphere is lovely, friendly staff, fantastic food, especially the steaks, all at very reasonable prices. all measures taken for covid which is very reassuring

Had a wee trip over to moffat for a couple of nights staying on the camping and caravanning club site with the motorhome. Only live 50 miles away but great to get out and about after the lockdown and back to a lovely town I usually visit once a month. The Balmoral has always been a favourite and they have clearly made the best they can in this current situation to accommodate everyone with social distancing inside and out. My daughter was desperate to have the kids meal nuggets again, and nuggets is way under estimating them as they are chicken inner fillets (5) in lovely crisp non greasy batter with chips and peas or beans if wanted @ only £5 full price. She had them both days of the visit. I had the fillet steak stroganoff and have to say it was amongst the best I've ever had and would happily have paid the full price, but with the current government incentive to eat out and support the leisure industry it's a no brainer. Staff are also lovely.

A very underwhelming and, frankly, quite unpleasant experience which could have been vastly improved by a warm welcome, smiling accommodating staff, and if the four local p*ssheads (a la Rab C Nesbitt) at the table next to us had been encouraged not to use the f-word every 10 seconds. The girl who showed us to our table had zero interest in our experience as customers. No warm welcome, no eye contact, no conversation. What little atmosphere there was in the bar was completely ruined by the pond life effing and blinding away at the next table. I tried not to let it ruin the Iceland scampi I was served up (with about four chips and 10 peas), but I'm afraid it did. On the plus side my dining partner said her fish and chips were good, and it did look good. We left promptly without wishing to endure more of the bad language, and with nary a goodbye, thanks for coming or how was your meal? Why? Because no one in there cared a jot. You have to wonder why these people are working in the hospitality industry in the first place if they can't be hospitable and welcoming. One star for the fish and chips. We won't be back.

Ate here twice and came in a few other times for just a drink....food was really nice,I had fish and chips and my wife had a toasted sandwich...both really good....good choice of drinks...we will definitely be back next time we are in moffat

Myself and my husband have just had an excellent meal here this evening. Main meals and puddings, all food was really good quality. 👌

We had a nice bar meal in the Balmoral Hotel served by nice friendly female staff.I had delicious lamb chops and my wife had scampi and chips which were both really nice and we also had a nice reasonable glass of wine each. I was disappointed with my Irish coffee which was made with scooshy cream and had all but disappeared by the time I got it. We stayed on for a few drinks when the srvice went downhill due to the barman serving locals he obviously was friendly with while I waited to be served at the bar. Hence the reason for mark of 4 out of 5.

Stayed here after arriving in Moffat to find our hotel (Moffat House Hotel) closed down and no warning. The Balmoral was available and actually think we had a better experience! Room was large, comfortable with bath robes and great little touches... fresh milk, chocolates and lots of toiletries. Breakfast was awesome too not to mention the friendly staff. Absolutely recommend

Was a bit apprehensive about here after not managing to get seated in other places and here was quite quiet, also just seemed kind of old and outdated and the menu prices very reasonable which i know is weird but got me thinking it might not be so good. Oh wow the food was all spot on and incredibly tasty. My mussels for starters were amazing, big huge green lipped mussels in a delicious sauce i made sure i soaked it all up with the bread. My fillet steak oh yes absolutely perfect and super tasty with the pepper sauce one of the best I've ever had and only £18 for a fillet steak meal wow. My girlfriends chilli con carne isn't something I'd usually go for myself but she raved about it and i tried it and I'd happily order that myself if i return it was so thick and meaty and delicious. Nice pint too. I've ate in the star hotel nefore too i personally would rate this place much higher than there

A very welcoming pub/hotel bar in the centre of Moffat. The staff were really nice, the food was good value and there was a lot of choice, including vegetarian options.

Great location on the high street with free parking in the square. Upon arrival we were shown to one of two cottages in the garden of the main building. The cottage had a large living space, kitchen, dining and lounge areas with two first floor bedrooms and a shower room. Lots of complimentary extras, tea,coffee, fresh milk, biscuits and chocolates. Pristine clean. Great breakfast with quality produce served in the bar area.We had an evening meal in the bar which was well prepared and served.

I was there with my wife and 4 other couples, the rooms were very spacious and very clean, the extras were also appreciated. The best breakfast I have had for a long time.

First time for us at the Balmoral. In hindsight, a very good choice. Huge and delicious fish and chips. White, chunky haddock in a golden batter. Big meaty chips, crispy on the outside. Served with lemon and tartare sauce. Delicious! My wife's choice was, the fish in parsley sauce with boiled potatoes, peas, and a side salad. Again, mucho yummy. Friendly service to table and promptly served. To end with sticky toffee pudding for me and raspberry cheesecake for 'er indoors was the crowning glory. Well done Balmoral. As Arnie said, I'll be back.

A one night stopover ......the hotel is really good value.....we found ourselves in a mini-suite with lots of little touches to show customers are cared for. Breakfast was included and good value although like most restaurants in Scotland there was no fresh fruit. On the other hand you do get kippers !

The fish and chip shop is joined on to this hotel, i don't know who owns it but it wants shutting down. The fish was ok the batter terrible, but the chips were utterly inedible, grey shrivel up cold excuse for chips. Went straight in the bin. The chips must have been cooked at dinner time if not earlier and reheated. These were not fit to feed to a dog never mind human beings. My advice is keep well away

We had a lovely meal here of Balmoral Stake and ale pie with mash and peas. The food was absolutely delightful and the service was amazing.

This was our first stop after arriving & waiting to check in,friendly staff,great selection of drinks very reasonably priced,the best fish & chips we have ever had,amazing.

A cosy and welcoming bar for a pre dinner drink. I discovered that pubs are often called hotels in Scotland!

Stopped here for some lunch and the food was super! The veg rissotto was lovely and not too overbearing of a portion. My parents have fish and chips and the prawn salad: the fish was very fresh and my mum was very impressed with the amount of prawns! Would stop by again, thankyou!

On a day out in Moffat we came across the Balmoral hotel offering a fantastic deal for a fish tea. The full works - fish, chips & peas with lemon & tartare sauce plus bread and butter and a lovely pot of tea all for the amazing price of just under £8 - what great value. Would highly recommend.

I cant give a full review as we were quickly ushered out as we had a wee dog in a dog friendly pub. We were contritely informed that dogs weren't welcome when busy.... There must be been 5 others maximum! Fairly rude, we won't be back, a shame as it looked nice.

We had been walking in the area and were wet and cold but we were soon warmed up next to a lovely log fire. We ordered Haddock and Chips which was served to us within 5 minutes and it was delicious with a huge pot of tea and nice bread.

We found the food to be excellent, but noise from the bar area made conversation difficult. Still, a friendly, pleasant enough place for a casual meal.

The trappings of a traditional pub, this is very popular with locals. We had a very pleasant lunch; the fish and breaded fish was delicious and well presented. Well worth a visit.

Not sure if caught on a bad day after reading the previous review. Chips soft, haggis batter soft and the haggis itself was not like the usual sausage shape we like, it was rugby ball shaped and soft textured. Staff were friendly on a plus side.

I fail to understand the review entitled “the worst fish and chips ever”. We stopped here for a fish and chip lunch and had the best fish and chips I have had for a very long time. Well cooked fish in very good batter with chips that had just right amount of crispness on the outside. Well worth the diversion off the M74.

We stopped here for dinner. Both the main courses we chose, brisket of beef and scampi, were very good and the prices made them exceptionally good value.

Enjoyed an exellent cod and chips in this pub cum hotel. You need to book a table or you probably won't get a meal but even when all tables are full the place does not seem crammed. Pleasant service and great value with in my opinion the only 'normal friendly pub' atmosphere in Moffat.

Stopped for a drink on a very warm afternoon, great sitting in the beer garden, decided to come back for dinner. Well priced lovely meals, fish and lamb chops, definitely no complaints here, would happily go back

Beer garden is set in a picturesque court yard. fish teas was lovely. Only complaint is the inside of the pub. Really worn and needs some TLC

Popped in for a quick lunch, bar area a bit tired and dated.Nice beer garden at the back. Fish tea,home made lasagne(very nice) half pint of lager and a G&T; £21.70. No complaints.

We were staying overnight at the hotel so opted to dine in with my parents. We all had a range of meals from fish supper to brisket to meat pie and all were enjoyed. We were too full for dessert!

Great staff very helpful, had haggis neep and tatties, partner roast lamb, haggis great neep perfect tatties dissapionting shame tatties tasted like frozen should have been fresh and crushed as the star pub does, lamb meal great, again staff very very good.. Ps. Spotted dick pud great needed more custard but great....

Nice enough pub with excellent staff but the my food was disappointing. Described on the menu as garlic chilli chicken the waitress said it was actually chicken curry, I said okay that's fine when it arrived the person who brought it described it as garlic chilli chicken so I was confused. Non of this would have been a problem had the food been good but unfortunately it was a 70s style chip shop curry sauce with added chicken, good size portion and very filling with 50/50 chips and rice but totally tasteless.

called in for dinner and a pint as the menu looked inviting. Friendly staff and a very nice pint of bitter, table selected food ordered, waited an acceptable time food was well presented highly recommend the lamb shank and the lamb chops both meals well presented and very well cooked. The beer was also very nice finished off with a couple of sweets, the place was fairly busy but never under any pressure to vacate our table even when we asked staff they said it’s ok no need to move.

This pub in the main street of Moffat was brilliant. Such a breath of fresh air compared to another pub at the beginning of the town. We went in without booking and the man behind the bar welcomed us and showed us to a table and took our order. He brought the drinks promptly and we didn't have long to wait before the starter was brought out. I had prawn cocktail. It was full of prawns and really tasty and my husband had the mussels which were lovely. The waitress was very chatty and helpful telling us about local attractions etc. The main course was lovely too. Not long to wait and very hot food cooked to perfection. Would definitely go back to this pub. A warm welcome, good food and a good price. What more do you want?

Just stopped off in the Balmoral Hotel for food on way back to Manchester. The barman was very friendly as were all staff. Food was first class and ready to finish the journey. Non pretentious bar with excellent food well worth dropping in.

We were served quickly by friendly staff and ate really good fish and chips. We called in here whilst walking the Southern Upland Way and needed to replenish our energy levels.

We had 2 different dinners and enjoyed both. My husband lover the sticky toffee pudding. We waited a few minutes for the table and enjoyed a pint at the bar.

Called in to Moffat on our way home having previously lived in the town. While the town itself is looking a little sad & forlorn the Balmoral more than makes up for it. The food was excellent, with an extensive & varied menu. The staff were fantastic; friendly & professional. The ambiance was great, very relaxed & homely. Can’t wait to go back.

Stopped off in Moffat on the way up to Argyll and visited the Balmoral hotels little Chip shop. Not only were the chips the freshest, fluffiest and most fabulous we'd ever tasted but the two ladies behind the counter were absolutely lovely. We had a fun chat and we learned about fried Haggis - something I won't partake in as I'm a veggie, but wow did it look yummy.

First time we have stayed at the Balmoral hotel, it's absolutely top notch in everyway,house keeping excellent our bedroom immaculately clean bed linen changed daily along with fresh fluffy towels,breakfast was delicious full English or a choice of your own.

Friendly staff amazing food cosy homely atmosphere..... The staff know what we like and certainly deliver...thanks

Two nights away with friends to visit places around including Roslin Chaple and Buddhist Temple.

we had a lovely meal in the Balmoral, food was excellent. atmosphere very good, service excellent price very reasonable. Look forward to visitn it again

We walked in to a warm welcome from bar staff....we didn't need to tell the girl what we wanted....it was on our table within minutes...(we always order the same thing) food is excellent and tasty steak so tender....chips crispy and fluffy....mushrooms so delicious... A d...

This is our favourite hotel every time we visit this part of Scotland and being a Scotsman and living only 40 miles away I’ve no excuse to visit as many times as I can , the hotel is situated in the middle of Moffat with plenty of parking right outside and being a family run hotel the staff are always very friendly, with a good selection of beers and wines and not forgetting all the choices of whiskey you can’t go wrong, the food menu is also very good , most popular is the fish tea , but there’s plenty to choose from the river Annan runs past the lovely village of Moffat and I believe there is good fishing to be had here also a caravan park is nearby, plenty of Scottish shops and a large Edinburgh woollen mill just a few minutes walk away, all in all a lovely place to visit: spot on

having been to the balmoral before ,we knew what to expect

The food in this hotel never disappoints..... Steaks are so tender and tasty..roast beef to die for...as is the lamb....fish teas are also great....

i had a sirlion steak which was cooked to perfection the wife a roast she said it just melted in her mouth drinks reasonable priced service very good thnks to Jane and all her team

We visited for an evening meal. Prices are very reasonable and food was very tasty. The staff are very attentive and food was served quickly. Well worth a return visit if we are in the area.

My wife and I visited for a three day mid week break, staying in one of the cottages. The accommodation was fantastic, with lots of additional touches which made it really special for us. The staff were really friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were superb.

We dropped into here adhoc last night after leaving a restaurant in Beattock in disgust at the lack of customer service and the guys here saved our evening so thank you! It was very quiet, a pretty place where we found the staff were very attentive and friendly. It felt a bit like we'd been there before, to be frank. We felt right at home. Drinks were served right away, our order taken very shortly after and the food arrived pretty swiftly too. We ended up having a great, relaxed meal and the food was absolutely lovely. Great value too. We will be back.

Stayed here last night on our way up to Oban from North Wales. We are going up to the Highland Cattle Show and Sale.

Excellent fish tea at £ 7.99 .The menu has a lot of choice but I went for the fish tea ,it was fresh fish and cooked to perfection , you get the choice of battered or breaded fish ,it melted in your mouth and you get a cup of tea and bread and butter with it

Easy to find in the High Street. Friendly staff and excellent food at a reasonable price. I had roast lamb which was absolutely mouth meling.

I arrived about 7.30pm and got a good welcome from the lady at reception who then showed me to my room. It was huge, more like a studio apartment. It had self catering facilities and a large bathroom with a good shower. Everything was very clean.I took a short walk around Moffat, which is a nice town not far from the border, and then proceeded to the Balmoral's bar for dinner.I had some soup and fish and chips which were both very nice. The bar itself is comfortable and has a good atmosphere.After a good nights sleep in the comfortable bed I was first down for breakfast, which was part of the reasonable room rate. Breakfast was excellent and well presided over by the young man on duty.The sausages and bacon rashers were big by usual standards and the coffee did a good job of getting me ready to start my travels for that day.I was impressed by the Balmoral and think it good value for money for what you get.I will certainly stay there again next time I am passing through Moffat.

We came here on bank holiday weekend for a late lunch. We sat outside as we have two dogs (not sure if they are allowed inside as we were happy to sit outside). We found a menu inside and ordered the fish and chip deal, a baguette and a sandwich. Food did take some time but we were happy with our order. Would have personally preferred more detail on the menu as to what you get with sandwiches, baguettes, toasties etc. Chips with the baguette were good but to have the same option with a regular sandwich would have been nice also. Quiet surroundings, pleasantly kept and nice food. I'm sure we'll come back again if we're visiting and looking for a good lunch!

Booked in here on a particularly busy weekend- international gold panning championship no less!A superb single room with a comfortable bed and chair to rest the weary legs and feet and a great ensuite with shower. A great find.

We were so sorry mpressed with the room and all the special touches on arrival Everything we needed and more was in our roomLove it and will be back again

Wer gern authentisch zu Abend essen und gleichzeitig die Einheimischen erleben möchte, ist hier genau richtig. Und: schottisches Essen kann lecker sein!!! Außerdem stimmen die Preise, so dass auch ein zweiter Whisky drin ist

We stayed here for 1 night and were very impressed with the standered of the rooms,ours was large with a sitting area and flat screen tv, fridge, tea and coffee and the lovely touch was the fresh flowers. Breakfast was nice but the downside was you had to eat it in public bar area, never mind we will be back again if in the area.

A lovely atmosphere, made welcome as soon as we arrived. A old time deco. but great photos on the walls .

On the side of the Hotel is a fish and chip shop that has had better days, the school kids get fed first which would have been ok but the staff did not even ask if ok. When served The fish was cooked but the chips were just cooked so I threw them away,

A very good choice of tasty food. Service was quick and pleasant in spite of the hotel being very busy

lovely chip and fish tea staff lovely very relaxed and helpful very good value we enjoyed our meal out

The hotel is fairly basic but provides reasonably priced accommodation. We stayed in Room 2 which looked out over the main square. To our surprise it can with its own lounge so plenty of space. The bedroom had an ensuite which was very nice. On the downside we had the creakiest bed ever, couldn't move a muscle. The lounge although nice needed a couple of table lamps and better sized pictures to make it cozy. Food was fine and the staff were friendly.

This place was not welcoming it seems to prefer local money to visitors cash. We decided not to eat here after the unfriendly atmosphere.

The food is superb, we had the lamb and it fell off the knife, it really tasted very nice indeed, my only gripe is that I wish that they would keep the kids quiet, it didn't ruin our meal but it certainly didn't help either

Friendly pub with great prices and good pub food. Lively place, warm and pleasant welcome. Meals are a generous portion and hot.

Popped in here on two nights over Xmas on a recent break, the first night for a drink, the second for a meal, Found it very good Value for a superb Meal, The food was fab and the staff super Friendly and couldnt do enough for you. Will definitely be going back next time we are in Moffat

was in for a meal with my wife food really hot and good size portions the place it self lively and warm godd atmosphere Jae and Lizz always a good laugh as are all the other staff

We always try to reach Moffat at lunchtime for Haggis, neeps and tatties at the Balmoral. It is warm, friendly and pleasant: just the place to visit en route for the North. This time one of our party had steak pie and another roast pork. Portions were generous and the cooking was well up to pub kitchen standard. The bar staff and waitress were pleasant and friendly in the Scottish way. And the Haggis was very good indeed: if you have never had it, do not hesitate to order it here.

Stopped off here for an 1800 Sunday lunch with the family. I had lamb, partner had pork and both had 'Mum's gone to Iceland' feel to it. It wasn't horrendous but we felt we could have spent our £26 better elsewhere. The meat was very symmetrical and didn't feel very local. Other pubs like this we've visited do better jobs for the same price. Don't be too put off as they have a chippy attached to the business and that might be the food to buy as lots of people were doing that

We dropped in to the Balmoral this afternoon after visiting a local tourist spot and had fish supper steak pie and a roast beef meal for our grandson . Really tasty and very good service, will definitely be back

Traditional kind of pub. We ate in the bar area which was roomy enough not to feel cramped. We were made to feel welcome and the service was good. Menu was a typical good pub menu. Will visit again next time we're in Moffat.

Had an excellent lunch with my wife.Great value for money and a good selection of beer.Helpful and friendly staff.

This is a great little pub that not only does good pints but also really nice pub grub. Sit in the beer garden and have a great afternoon.

originally came up to Moffat to have lunch in another pub but it had closed down so we decided to try the Balmoral Hotel and we were so glad we did - on entering - the pub had a lovely atmosphere and we were made to feel very welcome by the young man who waited on us - I decided to have the Chilli Garlic Chicken as there was really little description of what it it was i was pleasantly surprised when it arrived - over 20 pieces of real succulent chicken in a flavoursome chilli garlic sauce with basmati rice and the most delicious crispy chips i had tasted in a long time. The rest of the family chose the steak and ale pie with glazed carrots, chips and peas and all four of them thoroughly enjoyed it. for dessert i chose the raspberry white chocolate cheesecake with pouring cream - a big chunk of white chocolate cheesecake marbled with raspberry puree - delicious but cloggy in the mouth so i was pleased i had chosen pouring cream. my mam opted for the Apple Pie - a pastry lattice with Apples and sultanas slightly spiced and custard. My brother and nephew had the Sticky Toffee pudding once it had been determined it had no sultanas in it and My Dad chose 3 scoops of icecream - Whisky and Oatmeal, Strawberries and Cream and Caramel - All our desserts were scrumptious and highly recommended - as is the place itself and we are already planning a return visit soon

Was in for a fish tea as I've been in a good few times over the last 20 years but it seems the service has taken a huge dive. Same staff, grumpy older woman and younger man who were more interested in stuffing chips in the mouths behind the bar than giving us service. On arrival we got a quick nod of the head with a long sigh from the older woman behind the bar, sat down and got menus then waited and waited for someone to come over to take our drinks order and food order. Nobody did, so I went up to the bar and the young guy said 'oh, yeah, sorry about that 'mate' while his mouth was full of chips? Rubbish. The portions are getting smaller also but the fish was alright. The whole place is aged and filthy and could do with a good clean spruce up too. They really need to pull the finger out here, especially with the welcome and service. 2 out of 5, just.

Headed here with our usual gang on Gala day for our evening meal. It was fantastic. Food, service, the lot.....It was great!!! And its always great value for money. Thanks to the staff that night, as they were doing some running around :-) xxxxx

We fire up and down this route all the time but have never stopped in Moffat beforeLovely place Someone in the street saw us looking at the menu and told us to eat there as it was very good food- she recommended the steakWe found a table in the courtyard on a lovely day (it's an old coaching inn with tonnes of character and very nicely kept courtyard/flower pots etc) Ordered fish tea and a steak and shared Both really delicious - if we were passing again with time to stop we would certainly eat here again Pretty reasonable prices too at £13 for 10oz rib eye steak and £7 for fish tea

Stopped into the take away to break for lunch on our way to the highlands from England. although a bit dated and dismal inside we could'nt have been given a better welcome. The fish and chips plus curry sauce were the best I have eaten. Crisp and dry chips and the fish firm and white with just the right amount of batter again really crisp and without a hint of soggyness. Don't miss out on this treat

Don't expect fine dining from this place but the food is tasty. We visited for Sunday lunch and ate in the bar, couple of guys providing some entertainment playing guitar and singing songs which was quite nice if slightly random. Service was quick and food was like good home cooked food, no fancy presentation but was tasty all the same.

The old mantra of the customer being right was certainly lacking here. Very rude staff. Portion sizes seem to be decreasing by the month and quality is poor. Plenty of other establishments to try in moffat

Called into the fish & chip shop which is attached to the hotel. A lovely welcome from staff who were very pleasant & chatty. We were only having a small lunch so we just had chips served in a tray & cone with salt & vinegar. They were absolutely gorgeous. So fresh, crisp, golden & good portion size. . Best chips we have had in a long time.

This small hotel in the village of Moffat is well worth a visit as it is the narrowest hotel in Scotland and supplies excellent value for money. Good plain Scottish food with every meal provided by a friendly staff.Right in the middle of the shopping area in the villager so walking distance from all even for the" less fit"

When staying in Moffat recently we discovered that many of the guesthouses did not do evening meals and many of the hotels were outside our price range. The Balmoral Hotel however serves bar meals to non-residents until 9pm when we were there. The choice of main course and price was wide though always reasonable and always clearly evident on the menu. There was a choice of starter , main and later a selection of 4 desserts. Because it was a bar tea and coffee and a wide selection of alcoholic and soft beverages are available. Not a lot available for vegetarians or vegans. What is available is well cooked and very tasty.

We stopped @ Moffat after a 300 mile drive from Berkshire. We were tired, stiff and starving! We dropped into the Moffat Hotel Pub/Restaurant and ordered Fish and Chips "All Round" for our Family Group of 5! The Pub Service was extremely quick and the Food was excellent, with Low Prices and High Quality. We will definitely stay @ this Traditional "Borders" Hotel on our next visit to Moffat which is just 90mins from Edinburgh City.

Old world lookalike bar serving good, well prepared food at a reasonable price.Very good service from friend my staff. Going again later in month.

lovely fish and chips with lovely bread and nice desserts with a friendly staff and friendly customer

we love this little hotel, it's always very clean and fresh, every room we've been in has a separate sitting area, ano 2 TVs with generous quantities of brand name shower gel n shampoo, not just the silly little sample bottles, most of all the staff are very welcoming. highly recommended

I stopped here with some friends on a University trip, we were a group of about 20 and they dealt with the the number well. We hadn't booked and all needed to be fed and watered. I had the fish and chips, considering they have a fish and chip shop built into the building it seemed like an obvious choice! It was very nice, I had mine battered, the batter was very light and I enjoyed the home made tartar sauce. The prices were reasonable, I think it was about £8 for a main and a pint of beer was around £3. Much cheaper than what I'm used to!

We eat here at least 3 times per month. The food is consistently good, although we almost always opt for the chilli with chips and rice as it's our favourite! The menu is above-average, typical pub food or home-cooked equivalent, the premises are clean and the atmosphere is great. The staff really make you feel welcome and they are very accommodating. Prices are reasonable. By far the best food in Moffat! You just cannae beat it!
