Drummuir Ice Cream Farm in Dumfries & Galloway

We went here for a light lunch followed by ice cream. So many flavours of ice cream , you can’t fail to find one that you will like . You can also order 6 scoop taster which is definitely a good idea if you want to sample a few different flavours, the amount served os more than enough . The lunch menu is also good if you are after a sandwich or soup etc. Prices were also very reasonable . Plenty Parking at the farm too . Staff were friendly.

This is a little off the beaten track but well worth your time. Delicious icecream with lots of choice and unusual flavours ( such as rhubarb and custard). They cater for gluten free diet too and vegetarian. Staff are lovely, it's very clean and bright. They also do light meals like chips and sandwiches too. We enjoyed our coffee and ice cream. Really good value too.

I’ve been going to Drummuir Farm since it first opened many years ago. I rated it as the best ice cream I have ever had. Unfortunately new owners have bought the business and the quality has went down hill rapidly. The ice cream tastes completely different and now tastes like the cheap mass produced ice cream you can buy in discount supermarkets. This sentiment seems to be widespread throughout Dumfries and the foot traffic has fallen drastically since. I wonder why!!! Such a shame as I really used to love this place.

Saw the signs for this ice cream parlour as we were driving and had to stop. The ice cream was delicious but they did sundaes and cooked food as well. Plenty of seats inside and outside. Friendly staff.

It’s always nice to stop for ice cream, and this place has loads of options. Plenty of families visiting on a rare 21-degree Sunday when we were there. It’s not cheap, but the quality is good and service friendly. Some funny gift items as well. This stop is a bit out of the way, so make sure you’re hungry.

Having visited previously I knew what to expect. Tasty ice cream and relatively decent price point. Ordered two waffles and 2 coffees (lattes) had to remind the lady we had ordered coffee as she forgot to make and fetch over. Waffle and ice cream was delicious but while sat at table we looked at sauce sachets. Lots well past best date- even the mayonnaise.

Visited Drummuir farm today with some biker friends and what a gem it is, a really warm welcome from everyone, freshly prepared, very tasty food and snacks and a delicious selection of home made ice cream, it may have been our first visit but it will certainly not be our last!

Went for lunch today,ordered 2BLT’s and a bacon roll Was asked twice if we wanted white or brown bread for BLT’s but said both times we wanted rolls ,the young lady who served us seemed very unsure When our lunch came the BLT’s were on white bread not rolls,the bread was soggy,the bacon cold and there was half a cherry tomato on each and a small amount of lettuce. The bacon roll was good We then had ice cream,which although nice the portion looked small as two of us received ours in a medium sized tub but the third was in a small tub so the servings looked uneven,if indeed the scoop sizes were the same We didn’t say anything at the time as we felt a bit sorry for the young lady who served us as she seemed out of her depth It was disappointing and not cheap

Always like to visit this place when I’m in the area and no matter what flavour of “Ice Cream” you have it’s all brilliant. My favourite is “Honeycomb” it’s lovely. Also the staff are friendly and cleanliness of the premises is very good. Would highly recommend 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I had a huge triple ice cream chocolate cone it was absolutely delicious super fresh and fantastic service from the young assistant. Also bought a huge bag of mixed Jellies £8 was totally filled to the brim and again absolutely delicious thank you what a lovely place.

Visited Drummuir today and had the ten scoop taster. Just a little snack! It was delicious and so many scrumptious flavours to choose from. I could have easily gone back for seconds. The ladies serving are lovely. The only downside is that they close for the season on 2nd Oct.

As always, welcomed with a smile, nothing too much trouble, happy to answer any questions and great ice cream! Food is great, coffee is great, ice cream is amazing and lots to chose from. Definitely recommend

Over the years we have been many times in a summer season to Drummuir, the ice cream in my opinion is way better than the other competitor in Dumfries and Galloway. Today we ventured there again in the sweltering heat for our weekly treat, we opted for banana splits which were absolutely delicious and worth every penny, the cherry ice cream here is to die for so I had a cheeky cone for the way home also. We were saddened to hear that this will the last year that we will be able to indulge at Drummuir so we wish you all the best for the future and thank you for years of fantastic ice cream and service.

Very rude and abrupt: did we not see the sign that no hot food was available? In a dim foyer? Well, pardon me all over the place. And charging for the use of a kids’ play area? Ugh! Bye, bye.

Visited here last week and would highly recommend, beautiful ice cream & food. Park for kids is. Staff are really friendly.

Had a wonderful knickerbocker here yesterday. The whole experience was A1, spotlessly clean with caring and helpful staff. Thank you sincerely. X

Called in by chance to see if they did hot food and we were pleasantly surprised, we opted for bacon rolls and they were out of this world. We will definitely go back again in the future - Well done to all concerned.

Our family's all time favourite ice cream. Stunning range of flavours with something new every year. Thoroughly recommend Battenburg and Apple Crumble flavours. Impeccably clean and lovely outdoor play area for younger energetic ice cream aficionados.

i visited drummuir today as i have done since it opened and sadly due to who i believe us the owner of the premises it will be the final time. After spending £26 on ice cream she confronted my family i front of a packed playground to accuse us of not paying the entry to the park and for entering the wrong way. Needless to say i informed her that indeed we had both paid and entered correctly and i was spoken to in a rude and unprofessional manner. In fact after she left our table three families came over to say how rude she had been. She left us feeling like we had done something wrong and spoiled what should have been a lovely day!

We stopped by on the last Wednesday of the Eat out to Help Out thing expecting it to be busy but we're pleasantly surprised that there were enough tables inside to seat our party of 11 quite happily. We ordered lunches (sandwiches, paninis etc) and then ice creams for everyone. A very good selection of delicious ice creams and sundaes were enjoyed by all and we had no complaints whatsoever. We will certainly be returning on our next trip to Scotland.

Great place to stop after riding up across the border into Scotland. Been several times, Ice cream selection is fantastic and far, far, nicer than would you would get in the Lake District and much much cheaper.

Lovely place, close to home and friendly staff Just unfortunate that they only do one Dairy Free flavour of ice-cream which is Vanilla ( or a sorbet ) - to imply that Vegans or Lactose intolerance people have the most bland tastebuds.. Would have been nice to try one of the many other lovely flavours that they had.

Staff are lovely and it's a lovely place to visit but boy oh boy, I was a little disappointed to discover the only lactose free ice cream was vanilla. I know that sorbet was available but going to an Ice Cream Farm, I really wanted Ice Cream! Seeing all the wonderful flavours and not being able to indulge (especially when the toilets are out of bounds...) felt a little cruel :(

Great place worth a visit! Good spacious cafe area (indoor and outdoor), absolutely delicious ice cream and a good play area for kids. Can’t comment on the lunches as we never had any - maybe next time! Staff were very friendly. Overall, a great experience. Will be back.

Great ice cream and milk shake. Good price and big scoop sizes. The tablet and raspberry flavours were fab. We all enjoyed our choices. Off the beaten track but worth the visit.

We often visit family in the Dumfries area and whilst visiting late last year we where recommended this wonderful farm. Firstly it is a must visit if you love ice cream, the selection is fantastic with multiple flavours and toppings available. You can also get coffee and cakes too if your not a fan of ice cream. We visited on a fairly warm day so was able to sit outside where there is a small park area for the children to play on, it isn't huge but my little one spent a good hour playing. You could visit this place on a cold rainy day, ice cream tastes amazing in any weather I personally think. Facilities are good, toilets are clean. There is plenty of parking, even on a busy afternoon. No doubt I'll be back very soon.

I popped in to pick up some icecream as i heard so much about how nice it was. The icecream was nice but nothing really outstanding, but this could be down to personal taste.What did let down the experience was the rude staff member that served me. On entering the establishment, i started to.look in the freezer to see what flavours was available, when a staff memeber came across and said "what do you want"!!! Very polite....NOT.

This was a lovely little find. Unfortunately not dog friendly, but luckily it was a sunny day so we sat out side just off the car park and enjoyed our ice cream. My husband and I had '3' scoops of our favourite - mint choc chip - 3 scoops were 5/6 scoops.. We couldn't eat it all! And our dog enjoyed his 1 scoop of vanilla. Very good value for money, and the staff were lovely.

love the ice cream here,its really hard to choose a flavour from the many available! i just wish they had more for people with dairy allergies my grandson is also allergic to tree nuts, strawberries and bananas so it's very hard for him to find a suitable ice cream no fun at all for a 4 year old who loves ice cream as much as the next person

Good lunch, friendly service and great ice cream!,...................... don't need one hundred characters, ridiculous!

We were holidaying near by and thought we would walk down to the ice cream farm. We were not disappointed- it was well worth the 2.5mile walk! Great selection of ice creams, friendly staff and reasonable price. So good, we visited again a few days later for lunch. Two of us are vegetarian and we had no trouble finding suitable food to eat. Would highly recommend.

A lovely place, very well priced, lovely seating area, kids loved outside play area, lovely ice-cream, all homemade on the farm, lots of lovely fresh food being served to other customers, that was big portion sizes, and beautifully presented. A lovely place for all.

Quick stop today on our way to Dumfries. Although weather was terrible place was busy and quality and choice of ice cream outstanding. Very enjoyable eat. Thank you

Good price for great icecreams . Plenty of choice. Busy place for an ice-cream shop. Sure the best ice-cream I have had in Scotland. Worth a stop!

Huge variety of flavours to choose from and very reasonable pricing with small cones for little children. We enjoyed all the flavours we tasted especially the peach and cherry cola. Little disappointed in the berry crumble flavour - lots of crumble but lacking in the berry flavour.Great outside play area and very friendly staff. A must-go if you are in the area!

Had to visit here as we had heard so much from our friend in Annan, about this place.

Lots of options to choose from. Nice, clean and staff are friendly and helpful. Definitely great value too. Will definitely be back.

Visited in the late afternoon as a birthday treat for our youngest. As ever Drummuir didn't disappoint and served up very nice food in a timely manner. Service with a smile that is excellent value for money. That's even before the ice cream.

Lovely spacious cafe, big car park and an indoor and outdoor play area but the highlight is definitely the ice-cream. Lots of flavours, I had the butterscotch and it was really creamy with big chunks of butterscotch through it. Could also recommend the apple crumble. Hopefully be back soon.

Great selection of ice cream over 20 to choose from & made on the premises, staff are always very helpful , indoor kids corner & outside play area, definitely recommend.

Lauren was the delightfully helpful young lady that served us at the ice creamery. She made our difficult decision a little easier. She was polite and efficient. The ice cream was the best we have had in Scotland and that is saying something! I loved looking out to the paddock knowing those cows had made the foundation for this delightful treat that makes so many happy. Job well done to you all at Drummuir.

What more can I say. The perfect place to go to indulge in mountains of ice cream. Heaven, even on a cold damp day.

Super tasty ice cream with a a big selection of flavours. Cafe area is clean and spacious. Perfect place for the whole family. Love it.

Delicious ice cream in every flavour imaginable, childs play area, large free car park, extremely busy, inside seating for lunch, outside seating area to enjoy your ice cream.

You can have a pre-designed ice cream sundae eg Rocky Road, or you can choose from a vast array of flavours. They do an artist’s palette plate with spaces for four ice creams, a sauce and a topping. I had lemon meringue, drambuie, pomegranate sorbet and Miss Purple, a mystery flavour that I won’t reveal, plus raspberry sauce and honeycomb pieces. Phenominal! I’ll be back later in the year...

We were following the Annan to Gretna tourist route when we saw the sign for the ice cream parlour and we were ready for a snack, so we turned off the road to try the ice cream.

Found this by googling gelato. Not quite gelato but very good ice cream. A huge range of flavours and the girls serving are amazing.

We went to this ice cream parlour but we're not impressed with the ice cream here at all, felt that cream of Galloway ice cream was much nicer and taster, all five of us thought this!

We were lucky enough to rent Jasmine Cottage behind the Ice Cream Parlour, so managed to visit regularly for a week. Marion and her lovely team keep the place spotless despite the damp weather and lots of visitors. Both the snacks and ice creams on offer are amazing. Lots of choices - sandwiches , Panini's, plowman's and delicious burgers when they opened late on Friday. The ice creams are so smooth and creamy and lots of choices for young and old. They have also provided an indoor play area for the little ones and an outdoor playground for the more adventurous. A great way to break up a long journey, or stop off en-route to somewhere else. Highly recommended and Wish we lived nearer, but will hopefully be back soon!

Had lunch when passing recently, good selection of panini, toasted etc, but the highlight was the ice cream sundae - excellent!

Went Thursday 5th July for lunch always see the sign but never went that way before. Not big on ice cream but they do light lunches so we went for that . Lovely clean place ,lots of friendly staff. Had chicken and rice soup was ok but even though bowl looks big not a lot of soup esp for the price needs some new bowls,soup was lovely , wife had the haggis and cheese panni with salad very nice , I had ploughmans salad cheese good Apple very fresh. Pickle nice oatcakes very good , far to much iceberg trying to fill the plate I think , dad hate date scone which was lovely and light , tea good

If you love Ice cream, go here, NOW. If you don't like Ice cream, still go here, NOW. They do lovely food other than Ice cream. Great selection of freshly cooked goodies. Did I mention that they sell ICE CREAM!!! ??

Stopped off here for a light lunch en route to Lake District. We took the soup & sandwich lunch. Both the soup and sandwiches were tasty and made to order. Small soup and sandwich deal was ideal, very reasonably priced & plenty for a light lunch. Swiftly followed this up by sharing 10 flavour ice cream taster. Ice cream was really lovely, lemon flavour was the favourite. Staff all very friendly and attentive. Relaxed country kitchen type atmosphere. Great for kids - enclosed play area outside. Will return again. Thoroughly recommended.

We popped in today for an ice cream, it was very busy being a Sunday and a beautiful day. The girls behind the counter were excellent, even though the queues were long there was no long wait. Plenty of seats outside and inside and a good play park for children. I had the apple crumble ice cream waffle cone and it was delicious and we will definately be back.

Drove out to the ice cream farm today, was not disappointed! Plenty of choice, and not badly priced at all. Will be returning again when we are back visiting family again.

We popped in here as we saw the sign when driving to Dumfries. There's a great range of ice-cream and they also do sorbet for dairy free option, as well as savoury foods. It's a nice, bright cafe that I'm sure is very busy in the warmer months. Definitely worth trying their icecream!

The only thing I will say is you need to go. AMAZING ice cream, great flavours, great taste....!

Visited recently and had a great time. The food is so fresh and well presented. Some new flavours since last time especially the kiwi and coconut ice cream. Good parking area and easy wheelchair access. Great outdoor area for children to play in safely. Friendly staff. Highly recommended.

We were lucky enough to be staying in Jasmine Cottage, just behind the ice cream parlour, for a week. Members of our party visited the parlour on several occasions. There is an excellent choice of snacks and ice creams and the staff are friendly and helpful.

Not far from Racks and on the Solway Tourist Route this gem is ideal for a snack and a coffee before heading down to more remote little villages with few facilities. It hasn't changed much over the years and still employs friendly and helpful locals who give quick and efficient service. I like the UK map where you can place a coloured sticker to show your home down. A play area for the children and lots of large windows that let in the sunshine and views of rural tranquility.

I came here about every two weeks to get my ice cream fix while I was pregnant all summer and loved that I could buy tubs to tide me over until my next visit. I love the ice cream here and all the different flavors they make. You can tell the difference when you eat fresh made ice cream. I can’t wait to pick my order up in December when they open back up for a weekend!!

Went here for lunch with my elderly parents, my brother and my daughter. The cafe is spacious and clean with big windows to admire the view, there is an outdoor play area and an a smaller indoor one too. The menu is surprisingly varied but of course the stars of the show are undoubtedly the many many flavours of their homemade ice cream. There is also a small shop area showcasing local eggs, jams and chutneys, confectionary. The food is freshly prepared and very very good. Was especially impressed with the soup obviously homemade and more like a stew, absolutely fabulous. Nothing was to much trouble for the staff. There are so many ice cream flavours it was hard to settle on just one, next time I am visiting my parents another trip here will be a must. There is also a very large car park.

Decided to try this after George Bell whose cottage we were staying in recommended it because his cousin owns it lol and looking at the reviews we went. Best decision we had made toasties and BLT sandwich were out of this world still 2 of us had room for ice cream this again was absolutely gorgeous so will be visiting here every time we rent the cottage got to try it people

Was a lovely place had a cup of tea and then ice cream I had Turkish Delight, hubby had Blackberry and in other cone think it was honeycoomb. They were both delicious. Also bought some eggs they sell a few items there. We were a bit late so didn't have long just enough time for a cuppa and an ice cream. They have a nice small play area for children. Staff very friendly. The list is very long so very hard to decide on which flavour ice cream. Would definitely go again when in area.

Try the Mango ice its wonderful.Good prices. A very nice welcome.Avoid the Maltesers bits they are like bullits. Great choice of flavours.

We come to Dumfries every for our holidays and have always come to visit Drummuir Ice Cream Farm. It is very well run with friendly staff. The food is lovely and so is the ice cream. Never a disappointment and people that have never been are really missing out!

I went holiday in Dalton and drove passed, full of people in side the shop, big car park.I love original ice cream, the best. My husband love Turkish delight and chocolate chip. more than 30 varieties of ice cream. So delicious and cheap.

Ice creams are the best in Scotland ,great range whole family loved themBacon bun for breakfast are best in ScotlandPlace is very clean and plenty of tables staff are wonderful and good with kids Swings etc outside for kidsA visit is a must for every tourist that visits Dumfries

Flavours I've seen nowhere else. Great taste! Reasonable prices. Cafe food looked great too. Lovely outdoor park for kids.

Lovely place to visit the ice cream is amazing with a huge amount of choice well priced, clean and definitely worth a visit a huge thumbs up from us

Great choice of flavours and price and service was excellent, Restaurant was clean and playpark was great

Went here for Mother's Day lunch with husband, daughter, grandson and brand new baby. Queues seems long but didn't take long to move. Had a lovely selection of Hawaiian panini and club sandwiches which were all fresh and noted from the menu that great use is made of local produce, eg., Lockerbie cheddar, Houston's haggis, etc. Wee grandson was able to have a child's lunch box with a jam piece! We shared a huge pot of tea and were invited just to ask for more hot water to top up. Staff were also very helpful in providing us with a jug of hot water to heat up the baby's bottle. The weather was great, so our 3-year-old grandson really appreciated the children's play area outside, as did we. Not far at all from Dumfries, but nice country feel to the place.

Frequently visit here when the sun comes out. Great range of ice creams, all delicious, and the service is consistently good

Called in on Sunday aft quite a busy place we only had 2 ice creams from an extensive choice but the cafe had light meals and soups available. Clean and tidy worth a visit if passing.

The ice cream is to die for! The mint choc chip is amazing as is the fudge. The staff are always friendly and the coffee shop and toilets feel very clean!

my Brother and I travel all the way from Blackpool just to visit !The owner knows my 'likes' Battenburg it's just lovely , not always available but plenty more superb flavours to try.Please make this special place part of your holiday when visiting D & G

Absolutely love the ice cream at Drummuir. Frequently return here when the weather is nice for a cone. Great range of flavours which always seem to be changing and developing.

This place is more aimed at family's as it has a large park attached to it but if you are in the area I'd recommend a visit as the ice cream was fabulous!The salted caramel was a favourite within our group but the guys also liked the iron bru also. I'd recommend going for a small as a large is huge and I unfortunately was unable to finish it.

Superb place - off the beaten track but the best ice cream we have had in ages - range of flavours superb and staff so helpful and charming - so good we had to go back

Great ice cream and nice eating area. The children loved the play area too....a real bonus!! Visited several times during our holiday

Visited this Ice-cream farm during our stay in Scotland. It was pouring down with rain but didn't seem to put people off. There are tables and chairs to sit inside but we got our cones and sat in the car as we had our dog with us. We had three waffle cones each with two scoops of ice cream. My son had chocolate, and my husband and I had creme caramel (or brûlée can't quite remember which) but both were delicious! And portions were fab too!! You can mix flavours if you wanted too if you wanted to. Three two scoop ice creams in waffle cones was just under a tenner, which was very good value, I just wished I lived nearer so I could go back and buy some different flavours!! Definitely worth a visit, you won't be disappointed!

I am fortunate enough to live near to Drummuir. I absolutely love their ice cream. Unfortunately my favourites (white chocolate and strawberry pavlova) are very rarely available. I would like to see them available more regularly

Many flavours of ice cream. Downside is not many tables inside when raining (today was one of those days).

Had a really nice experience here. Got free fudge or flake for every ice cream purchased. Excellent customer service. Will visit again for sure.

Small cafe serving nice home made ice cream & other food. Some toys inside & a small outdoor play area for younger children.

We called in for ice cream, all the staff were extremely friendly. Although very busy we were not rushed at all. The ice cream was excellent value and really delicious - will certainly be back!

Had a brilliant birthday party here today food and ice cream was amazing and ran so smoothly. Fantastic!

Love going here it's a great treat. Lovely staff, nice and clean. Loads of ice cream flavours to choose from and different cones to eat them from. Well worth a visit.

Called in with my family last week and has various ice creams and they were all delicious. Only down side was that we had to wait 30 minutes to get served as it was so busy

We decided to try this place after seeing a leaflet for it. We went on a chilly, windy day and we had dogs with us but there was plenty of room to sit outside with them. The ice cream is very tasty and there are a few unsusual flavours. I had kiwi/ coconut which was a new flavour to me. My mum had cherry cola which I tried and it was lovely. Yum! There is a children's playground which I'm sure would be popular with the kids!

Took our children here today (have previously visited), the kids had fun in the indoor and outdoor play areas. We ordered the children ice cream and ourselves hot drinks, no problems there. I ordered myself a salad bowl for just under £6, but asked for a side order of baked beans, to be told the beans would cost an additional £1.60! God knows why they think a small dish of beans should cost £1.60. I asked the member of staff if that was just for beans, to be told 'yes, it's quite expensive'. No kidding. I think they needed to get their prices sorted, no way should it cost that much. It may sound like a trivial matter, but it has put me going in future.

We visited Drummuir on 19th March 2016, it was our 5th visit and yet again we left with the feeling that we want to go back as soon as possible.This time we visited as part of our sons birthday celebrations. Before our ice cream we had lunch which was cooked and delivered extremely promptly and to the usual high standards.The staff were friendly and seemed happy, the food was of a superb quality and yet again Drummuir Farm excelled themselves. The play area has had a makeover since our last visit, the new play equipment is great and kept the kids amused for a good while, overall one cannot recommend Drummuir highly enough.

We've been coming to Drummuir for years and unfortunately we were massively disappointed. It's not always the cleanest but we have just had to accept this. Tables and highchairs often sticky etc. Also, toilet hygiene is something which isn't ideal here. Instead of soap from soap dispensers, there are bars of soap offered, it is something I feel is not hygienic. We ordered a chicken and tomato toastie. Because we are gluten free we were charged an extra 50p. I have never been anywhere as yet which has charged extra because you have an intolerance! Because we wanted tomato we were charged a further 50p it also turns out that because it wasn't a sandwich and a toastie instead, we were charged yet again another 50p. All in all £5.75 for a toastie in a place which is hardly spectacular is rather ridiculous. An extra 50p and we could be in a clean restaurant with portion sizes much larger. When we got our toastie it was also disappointing to see that our 50p didn't go very far - two and a half slices of tomato. Tables are very cramped and have to disturb other people most of the time to get to your seat. The prices for ice cream are extremely reasonable but unfortunately we will not be eating lunch here again as it really is not worth the money. Staff are lovely and very willing to help in any situation.

Visited drummuir ice cream farm today with my family. The food is gorgeous and so is the ice cream. I will recommend this place and I will be back again in the near future
