Edinburgh Woollen Mill in Dumfries & Galloway

We were lucky to arrive before the coaches did so more or less had the place to ourselves. Very good value for money. A single cheese melt in the high street would set you back £12, without a coffee. We went for the tea for two at the wool mill for £18. There was enough to feed 4 and the same with the coffee we chose. The staff are all kind and down to Earth. They provided us with a box that we could take the excess cakes we couldn't eat. It was the Christmas tea for two which included the turkey, stuffing and cranberry sandwiches. Too much cranberry for me so made the sandwiches a bit too much like jam sandwiches for me. This aside, I would recommend and will return. Was all good and well worth the money. Home made mince pies and scones were very good.

My daughter and I were down in Moffat looking for blouses and skirts for her (not me!!) and we had often thought of having a meal in their restaurant. So, we had the fish and chips. The meal was first class, so much so that the next time we are in Moffat we are going to have the steak pie which we have read has good reviews. The staff were very attentive and helpful. And patient because my hearing is not so good; I am 82! We shall return!

Went in for tea for two paid and got our tea and coffee sat down after 30 minutes or more I went back to the counter to ask where the food was as we had finished our drinks. They then came and asked what sandwich we wanted as they hadn't even started to do our food . The scone was served with squirty cream that was in a pot not clotted cream like we expected. So had to buy another drink to go with the food . Won't be going again

On a Lochs and Glens coach tour the coach stops at Moffat for late lunch stop and on my last vist i had fish and chips for lunch and was very pleased with the food and price i paid Also on the way back home the coaches stop at Moffat and i just had a coffee

We meet friends here regularly, and the restaurant is always busy, but clean and well catered for. We've sampled the fabulous cakes and scones which are on offer, usually with a large delicious coffee and we always meet and speak to other lovely customers whilst we are waiting for our friends to arrive. Next time we visit, we are going to arrive earlier and order the breakfasts, which were recommended by folks sitting on the next table to us previously. Really looking forward to that. Then we shall have coffees and cakes with our friends!

Haven’t visited for a few years & won’t he hurrying back , went mainly because there is an EWM on-site but it was Closed due to lack of staff , very disappointing as we had travelled alot of miles just for that . The pot outside ornaments were very run of the mill with a hearty price tag !! On the plus side our meal was lovely , polite staff , quick service & hot food , reasonable priced . We decided to drive further on the Kendal and had a good shop there

The cooked breakfast both myself and friend received was great value for money and the large lattes also. The server Doreen at the coffees was very polite and attentive and the cook Sheena checked if our meal was good and again attentive to our needs

We arrived on coach party. Cafe looks very uninteresting. Choices not good. Pot of tea milk in cartons. Scone well when cut just crumbled not because it was fresh. Sorry won't return.

After shopping we decided to go into the restaurant for a breakfast this was at 11.10 and breakfast finished at 11.30, but as it was coming to nearly finishing time for breakfast there wasn’t much choice left which we didn’t mind and can understand, The breakfast is served in 6, 9 or 12 items, so we were asked how many item we would like, so whilst looking at what was left and trying to add up from the items left and to what we would like from them the lady got quite agitated and repeatedly kept snapping at us so how many items we would like, When we asked if she could just put the items on a plate and add them up once we had chosen our breakfast we were told she wouldn’t do this and needed to know how many items we wanted. This really spoilt our experience And definitely will not be visiting again

Went into the cafe which had a fairly limited selection available which would not be a problem but was then served our hot drinks by an incredible rude woman. Got our drinks and paid for them to then be told our party of 5 could not sit together even though we are 1 household and never mind that but the current restrictions allows 8 people from 4 households!!! Rediculace so now sitting with at separate tablea with chairs turned around shouting across to people we stay with. Will be leaving as soon as done and this will be the first and last visit here!! Clearly not looking for repeat business and relying on coach travel passing through

I should have read the signs. There were 7 coaches in the car park and only 4 people in the restaurant. Nevertheless lass my wife and I went in. Food was cooked fresh, on demand. My wife asked for Gluten free steak and ale pie which came as steak and ale pie minus the pastry. The gravy looked like dark glue and tasted awful. I asked for Scotch pie, chips and beans. It arrived luke warm and the beans were poor quality. To be honest, I've eaten better food in a transport caff! I'll not be returning.

This restaurant used to be one of the best steak houses in Edinburgh. Unfortunately it has fallen far short of its former glory. The starters were very over cooked and my wife's main was very heavily oversalted. I can understand that things have changed due to covid 19 but the standard of cooking should not have fallen so far

A popular stop for coach parties, but the restaurant is spacious and can cope, although there may be delays at times, good range of food and drinks, large car park, with a large retail experience to be passed on your way to the restaurant

one of my favourite places to visit in moffat,i bagged a bargain in here,then had the best hot choclate ive ever tasted!

We go here quite regular for breakfast when visiting Moffat,but this time called in for lunch and found not such good sevice and staff a little surly,my husband ordered what was on menu as mince&tatties,but asked for chips instead of tattles she said ok,when we got bill it was on as cottage pie and extra portion of chips so he asked them and was told they don't do that ,but she failed to tell us that when ordering and she didn't apologise and was quite offhand.but we went in for breakfast as usual and it was great,a very pleasant young man serving us and breakfast great as always.

called in on the way to the trossachs as we were on a day trip, with a coach party. We had a lovely bacon sarnie and tea and coffee each, they were all lovely. The service was good, staff so friendly and food well priced. The resteraunt was really large, and very clean, with plenty of seating, Its attatched to a large shop so plenty retail therapy for the ladies, there are also clean loos, and lots of parking for all, better than a service station.

Better than a service station and less than 2 miles from the motorway. Tasty everyday food nothing special but plenty of parking and restaurant is clean and tidy

A popular restaurant, offering good food from a self service counter, can get busy with coach parties, extensive retail offering. Free car parking..

Our coach stopped here on the way back from Scotland. Reasonable lunch, nothing fancy. Enjoyed the coffee. Can get very busy.

eat here whenever we travel to Scotland good choice and price cant find a bad word to say all good enjoy the shop with good value clothes and gifts..

Very tasty homemade food. The bakery - scones etc is fab. Went their with a friend for lunch and was not disappointed.

The hot beef and onion barm sounded good but sadly wasn’t. The barm had been toasted and was burnt black. I left most of it. Plenty of beef in it, but as the server at the counter shouted out to someone in the back to get the beef out of the freezer, and it arrived very quickly afterwards, I was worried about whether it had been cooked thoroughly. No garnish with it at all, so didn’t look appealing. Won’t be going back!

Excellent selection of Hot & Cold food, breakfast from £3-50p sandwiches , cakes or Tea for Two @ £15. all served in a huge light & airy Conservatory, large free carpark, wheelchair friendly.

staff friendly Food excellent.Slightly overpriced catching the tourists business.No different from other premisesTake it while it is going

Stopped here around lunchtime because it was difficult to park in Moffat. Loads of parking space because coaches stop there. Doesn't look much from the outside however the place have a good selection of hot food, sandwiches, cakes, hot and cold drinks. There were breakfast deals as well. The seating area is a large conservatory.

Had a 6 item breakfast here for only £3.50 it was excellent value you can get 9 or 12 item breakfasts depending on how hungry you are food and staff are friendly and helpful

Vi stannade till här för att se på utbudet i affären och samtidigt äta lunch. Detta var dock inte ens ordinärt, bara osmakligt, stimmigt och rörigt. Välj att äta någon annanstans.

This is a restaurant that is clearly aimed at the many coach parties that pull into the carpark. Having said that it is a very worthwhile stop for individuals and families. The menu was a bit restricted but of excellent quality and certainly value for money. There is ample seating and the staff were welcoming. It is worth noting that for hot meals the kitchen stops taking orders at 4pm.

We were very pleased. We were the firzt customers To have breakfast I think. The food was hot and abundant. It was served with a friendly greeting from a well mannered young man. The other staff were all cheerful and well presented. The resaurant was very clean and there was lots of cakes as well as cooked breakfast items to choose from. Be warned, a twelve item breakfast is massive if you choose bacon or fried bread in it. Ours was lovely. We will definitely go again.

A friendly restaurant with a great choice of food and snacks, all at reasonable prices. A very clean place, with good food and drink.

Stopped here for two hours on our way home from a National Holidays tour. We sat in the conservatory and enjoyed coffee and a delicious strawberry tart. Prices reasonable. Service very quick as it is self service, staff very pleasant.

On a lochs and glens coach tour the coach stops at Moffat for coffee etc and did so again but i did not eat a meal but just had a coffee and cake which i was very pleased with the price for the coffee and cake as the coach i was travelling on was one of the early ones in plenty of room in cafe and service good

Although I have rated this as very good, I am unable to confirm this as this building is situated in a very large car and lorry park. So when our coach pulled in there were 3 other coaches there and the restaurant was full and the queue 25 people deep, not good for a half hour stop. After visiting the facilities which are plentiful and clean, we came out to another 8 coaches had arrived. Could be difficult with a young family needing somethin to eat on a schedule.

We stopped here for lunch and were happily surprised by the choices of food and the good quality. Everything arrived hot and the staff were helpful and friendly. After having a lovely meal we wondered through the attached store and also found the cleanest washrooms...

Called in to the cafe here for a bite to eat on our return journey home. Disappointed to say that my husband couldbt eat the hot roast beef bap.it was very stringy meat which was difficult to eat so much so he left it. I...

Went in for breakfast and was able to choose items we liked rather than a set breakfast there was highchairs available and great coffee service was fantastic

Never been disappointed when i have eaten here welcoming staff food hot and a good selection. Can get busy at weekends but staff are used to it and cope well. I ate this time apulled pork bap. Very tasty and filling.

Arrived by coach and other coaches were already parked up so the place was humming. The signs say "Moffat Mill" but it is just yet another Edinburgh Woollen Mill outlet selling the usual tweeds, tartans, woollens and shortbread. In fairness, they do seem to have...

We came to Moffat for a day out with my 92 year old mother and thought a reasonable place for lunch The cafe was busy but we had no problems finding a table and ordering our food The staff were friendly and helpful, the food...

Craqueo completo desayuno estilo buffet. Gran variedad de artículos en oferta. 6, 9 y 12 opciones de tema. 6 artículos de menos de £4. Dos luces intermitentes de tocino cuenta como 1 elemento. A todos, excelente relación calidad-precio.

Distribución igual a todos los otros molinos muy predicable cuando visite. sala de té y pasteles caros para botellas de zumo

Have to say it was so busy with coach trips the wait was terrible ended up having to sit sharing table.tea coffee average sandwich was tasteless overpriced

After a short drive around the borders we decided to have our afternoon break in Moffat. It was good to go again to the Woollen mill Tearoom. Although there were no other customers we were made very welcome and had super 'green' tea and cakes. My one and only groan was the terrible state of the loos. Very outdated and in need of a refurb..won't suit any tourists if indeed they actually get any.Jeannie.

We stopped off here on a family holiday. The shop had plenty of good quality clothing and the restaurant had tasty wholesome food. The staff were very friendly and helpful.The centre had a tired feel about it unfortunately which dropped it a star or so. However a delightful place to stop for a cream tea

Staff in the restaurant were very helpful and although basic style of menu for lunch, it was very enjoyable.

As a traveller on coach tours the stop at Moffat is always most welcome prices are very reasonable and food always looks nicely presented i have ate in the past here but not lately just have a coffee

Ideal stop for breakfast or afternoon tea when travelling to or from Scotland. Has many coach tours stopping there so food is fresh. I found food had reasonalble prices and good quality

We stopped here for lunch. Parking is easy although working out which door was the entrance to the Wollen Mill was slightly confusing. We ordered soup and a roll, and were pleasantly surprised. The soup was tasty, piping hot and good value. The other food on offer looked appetising. The restaurant itself is overdue for a makeover-the glass in the conservatory roof has lost its seal so the inside of the double glazing is constantly condensated up, and there are two enormous air conditioning units which take up floor space and look unattractive. On a sticky July day they weren't even on! Maybe the EWM know their client base and are reluctant to modernise, but it is slightly sad when a brand that is a bit passé does live up ( or down) to the preconceptions. With new glass and fresh paint this place could be a really great place to stop as we as being very convenient.

Mid morning coffee in Moffat. This Cafe has outdoor seating in a lovely garden which is a joy on those rare sunny days

Attached to the Moffat wollen mill you find this self service restaurant. It is a simple place with nothing special on the menu. Tea and scone that is fine or if you are hungry one of their meals. Don't expect a revelation.

This a great place to get a nice cuppa and a light bite to eat. The woollen mill also has lots of goodies as well. Great place to visit.

Stopped here as part of a coach trip and it was horrendous. It's there to rip off tourists, full of over priced tartan and boxes of shortbread. We decided to have something to eat in the cafe, BIG MISTAKE!!!. Two people opted for the fish and chips because it was the picture on the menu and there was a photo of it on the wall. The picture showed a lovely looking peice of fish on golden batter with plump fluffy chips. What they got was a processed piece of fishshop gunk in orange battery and a handful of warm soggy chips. I opted for the meat pie which the menu said I could have with either chips or potatoes and veg. I went with the potatoes and veg, I was given 4 small pieces of cold bikes unseasoned potatoes and I nearly fell over when I was told I could choose between peas or carrots for my veg!! No cabbage, swede, sprouts etc. On top of that my pie was tasteless and I tried hard to find the meat without success. This was all served by the most miserable, disinterested young lady I've ever had the misfortune to meet. These 3 meals with 2 teas and a coffee came to over £30. My advice is that if you do stop at Moffat, which is a lovely place don't go to the Woolen mill go in to the village and spend your money there.

Made a quick stop at Moffat during a long drive - this would be the last place I would have chosen but we had a dog with us and could sit outside in their garden with the dog.We had the tea for 2 (£12 I think) and it was a fabulous spread (sandwiches, scones, cup cakes) - very impressed. Staff were lovely and sorted the dog out with some water.Excellent place to stop en route.

Called for coffees and snacks whilst we were staying in Moffat over the weekend, the food was very nice, you must bear in mind that they cater for coach tours and the place was heaving when we arrived. The coffees and snacks that we had were very nice and reasonably priced, we would look to eat there again

The hot Sandwiches are delicious, Beef & Onion or pulled Pork with Barbecue Sauce, Soups, Cakes etc. Quite a large seating area including the Conservatory.

The Woollen Mill is full of interesting souvenirs - tartan, Harris tweed, cds, books shoes and clothing. There is something for everyone here and you won't leave empty handed.With bagpipe music playing in the background one cannot help hanging around in the shop and then having something to eat in the restaurant.

It's OK and fairly priced but there are a number of places in town that are better than here with a nicer environment. All in all decent value and OK food but only average.

Called in here today on a visit to Moffat to have a look round. It's a big place with lots of things to buy. After looking around we went to the cafe and had some very nice tea in a mug and fresh scones with butter and jam. For 3 of us the bill came to just over £11.

You get what you pay for is the old adageWent in had a browse ,spotted a Great Looking Harris Tweed Jacket Waistcoat and trousersReally Nice And they were a Really nice price as well.Oh Well its the Lottery on Friday so Hears hoping.!You buy these clothes and they will last you a lifetime Only problem is that my DOB is wrongCould have done with popping in Thirty years ago.Pleasant staff Great Clothes, Lovely smell of wool, Very Good

We visited this mill while staying at Moffat it is a very well stocked mill, plenty to look at and buy, they had whiskey tasting on that day which my husband tried then bought a bottle. Coaches do call in but it is big enough so they do not make it crowded. Moffat is a very nice place to visit

Popped in with friends on the way back from Dumfries, after checking out the dated fashions, usual Scottish holiday tat and the numerous selection of shortbreads for sale we headed for the cafe section at the back of the building. This is a delightful area overlooking an impressive garden which is available to patrons when the weather is warm. There is a good range of teas and coffees as well as a selection of home bakes which are very tasty although my personal recommendation would be the large fluffy scones.A surprising find and unexpected joy

Dropped in while on holiday and ate some homemade scones. They were delicious and still warm...what a treat.We sat in the conservatory in lovely sunshine. A welcome break from travelling.totally enjoyable.

The food was good and the atmosphere was clean and airy. It was almost like eating outside with all the windows.

This review is for the 'department store' only.Oh dear, talk about a step back in time! Now, while there may be some folks who really love this type of shopping experience, I came away feeling sorry for the ladies of Moffat who were presented with the choices in fashion on offer. I think Mary Portas should perhaps pay a visit to Moffat and give them some advice! Contrary to the type of clothing for sale (for men, women and children), the shop staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I couldn't help thinking that the staircase leading up to the mens' department wasn't exactly the 'Stairway to Heaven' for disabled shoppers happening upon this store.

Awful food and over priced Unfriendly staffHot house area with no air very uncomfortableNothing good to say at all about this restaurant

Great to visit and grab a wee bargain or a nice piece of knitwear. Has stood the test of time. Don't let it disappear in this modern don't care less society of 2015.

Anyone into EWM will find this place great good choice and nice cafe. Lots of traditional clothing and local souvenirs

This review is for the Edinburgh Woolen Mill on the main street in Moffat. Through the back of the shop is a lovely cafe with outdoor seating available if weather good. We opted for the afternoon tea for 4 and what a lovely display on a long platter, 4 types of sandwiches, 4 scones with jam and cream plus 2 very large strawberry tarts and 2 cupcakes. Tea for 4 was included in the unbelievable price of just £20. Staff very friendly and helpful, thoroughly enjoyed our lunch.

Like all the Edinburgh Wool Mills...... we have been to quite a few throughout Scotland! They always seem to have 'Sales' on, and their garments are all so similar. But we have come to expect nothing less and there is only so much that can be done with the items of clothing. Having said that I do purchase the Scottish shortbreads!

stopped here on our way south, very large shopping area well worth a wander round. Looms not actually working whilst we were there, but video of the process on continuous play. wide and varied selection of goods/clothing available. Enjoyed a pleasant cup of coffee and a bun at a reasonable price. would aim to stop here again.

we wanted a good breakfast stop on our way north and this was not it. Food was greasy and kept hot on trays so over cooked and the eggs had congealed. Meat products were over salty and low quality bread made poor toast. Coffee was the only decent part. It's aimed at the coach market who can't vote with their feet.

Stop there whenever we travel to Scotland as the food is always well cooked and excellent value for money. Breakfasts served up to 11.30 and a £3.95 one includes toast and a choice of 5 other items. On the way home if we are in time we stop for the afternoon tea. Sandwich, scone with lashings of jam and cream and a cake also a choice of tea or coffee, for £5.00. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Plenty of parking and ideal for us with a caravan in tow. Also a shop to have a look round too.

Great shop and good range of goods. Just a shame that even when buying a coat there they cannot put it in a bag of an sort bless you pay for one. Walking out of the shop with it over your arm you feel like a thief!! Sort this out Scottish government it's ridiculous!!!

Got a lovely tartan rug half price as a gift and a great value deal on shortbread well worth a visit

Not too impressed with our lunch time meal at this small restaurant. It seemed to be more pies and pasties than anything decent. The choice away from pastry was mince and tatties or maccaroni cheese. I tried that with chips. The chips were nearly cold and the sauce in the maccaroni had split so wasn't smooth as it should be. Very little taste. The coffee was halfway decent. I won't be back for food again which is a shame, the site is missing a trick with the amount of visitors to the shop.

me and the family and 2 friends had tea fo 8 you might say on sunday 31st august the service was very friendy the place was was nice and airy and clean so thank you all for a really nice time

prices the very friendly staff and management lots of choice in store allowed my dog in store as I browsed round

The Edinburgh Woollen Mill as the name suggests sells wool and all manner of crafts, souvenirs etc but more than that it sells food. Like most small cafes it has a limited choice menu but we visited four times and I enjoyed everything I tried. The staff went to no end of trouble to vary their menu for us to suit my wife's gluten free diet and succeeded on three of the four visits. On the other she realised that the soup they had served was not gluten free. When the lady in charge noticed this she immediately took it away and refunded the price in full. Can't say that everyone will get this but we got some lovely cream scones and cakes at half price just before closing time.

Our coach stopped here for a brief respite on our journey further north. Loads of bargains on offer and the whisky tasting was a pleasant surprise. We bought a few 'essentials'? Nice little cafe supplied decent tea and cakes and light lunches.

Have visited this restaurant on many occasions. It is a frequent stopping off place for coach parties. The food is excellent with a considerable choice. The prices are also reasonable and this compares very favourably with some other stop-off places. The loos are clean and adequate. A favourite with many people.

lovely friendly service and the traditional scottish music playing in store. We brought some calendars and shortread for the family. There is a nice tea room at the back of the store, we didnt use it on this occasion.

We arrived for a festival weekend and must thank The Manager for his hospitality, We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon tea for 2 and thought it was excellent value and the staff were very attentive.

I love the Moffat Woollen Mill, but there is never enough time to see everything in this large, sprawling higgledy piggledy coach stop. Bargain clothes, sportswear, traditional tartans, kilts, tweeds, gifts, biscuits & sweets etc, and even a whiskey shop. One day I'll get time to go and see the Hurricane along the road.

Stopped over for lunch 28/9/13Suggestion to try the tea specialValue outstanding £9.95 for twoOut comes a cake stand bottom tier two rounds of sandwiches with saladMiddle tier two of the largest scones ever seen with jam and cream two offTop tier two large cup cakesQuite a feast topped with an enormous pot of teaExcellent staff extremely pleasant and helpfulWill be back for sure

We actually went to the EWM on the High Street in Moffat which wasn't as busy as the main one in the coach park. We had afternoon tea for two and it was delightful. There was a choice of fillings for the sandwiches (about six) which were very fresh and a scone with jam and cream each and a cup cake each served with tea or coffee by extremely polite and friendly staff. There was some outdoor seating in the garden but we sat inside which was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely call again. Well done.

We visited the EWM midweek and explored the vast shop and decided to have lunch.The tray service style restaurant/café had a full menu of plated meals on offer and sandwich type options. We opted for Panini's. They were absolutely delicious and accompanied by a lovely salad and obviously freshly made coleslaw. We also had piping hot large cups of cappuccinos to finish. The meal was delightfully served by courteous staff.
