We had my mother in law’s 80th birthday celebration for 13 people at the Garvock, and it was perfect. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, the staff were attentive and very helpful, everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you for everything, it was a great night.

Unbelievable food, amazing service and great value. Would highly recommend here for coffee, lunch or dinner. They do a fantastic set menu for lunch. They also do delicious coffee and freshly baked scones.

Fabulous. Cannot fault this lovely hotel. We dined mid September 24 and had the best meal ever. The service was impeccable and the food was outstanding. I would say fine dining for sure but not posh Edinburgh prices. Just good value for money which you don’t often see nowadays. A special place indeed and great for a romantic meal for 2. We will enjoy going back very soon. Thank you Garvock house!

Very classy restaurant, excellent service and amazing food. I had the Haggis Bon Bons for Starter, since I was in Scotland - really nice. Mushroom and Spinach Risotto for Main, which was amazing. So tasty…will definitely return!

My wife and I stayed overnight as we were attending a funeral early the following morning. Our room was spotless and the bed was very comfortable. We had dinner there as it seemed convenient and we were glad we did. The menu is not large but it seemed to have something for everybody, the food was excellent and the cleared plates was proof of that. Breakfast next morning again did not disappoint with a large buffet of fresh fruits yogurts, cereals and freshly squeezed juices. We opted for the cooked breakfast which again was delicious this came with copious amounts of toast and hot coffee. The staff are friendly and very helpful. We look forward to going back in less somber circumstances.

Just back from a one night 'Sunday Treat Special' stay and just had to write a review. Excellent 3 course meal which was very well presented and delicious and for such an incredibly good price (as part of the deal). We have stayed there before and the standard has always been exceptional. Mrs J (Formerly a lecturer in a catering college) remarked that it was the best meal that she had had for a long time, such was the standard. Great staff, great ambience, great decor and great food at a good price..Simply superb. Already booked for an important date for us in July and highly likely to be back before then.

Everything was fabulous, food was amazing. The only thing I can fault them on is the drinks. The drinks were meant to be bottled but were dishes up in the glass. By the time we got them the juice was flat. Might have been poured from a large bottle for all the customer knows. Don’t like that. I like to put my own juice from the bottle into the glass and keep optimum fizz in it. I appreciate this is a nice restaurant so trying to keep bottles off the table but the juice was terrible.

Comfortable and relaxing surroundings in this country house hotel located near the centre of Dunfermline. The service was efficient and friendly and the menu focuses on fresh quality food. We enjoyed the hake main course followed by delicious deserts crème brûlée and the chocolate cheesecake served with cherry ice cream. First time diners in this establishment and happy to say we look forward to returning sometime soon.

My brother and I booked this lovely hotel for my Mother's 90th birthday lunch with family. We were in a private room which was beautifully arranged with table flowers, white knapkins and a lovely cake stand. We chose this hotel as we have dined there several times previously and think their food and service is outstanding. We had organised drinks in the bar pre lunch which was all organised before going through for lunch. The staff had Mum's speciality cake all set up in the room. The meal was superb as before and everyone was very impressed with the menu available and the presentation of the dishes. We all had a fabulous day,especially Mum and are very thankful to all the staff at the Garvock House for helping us arrange Mum's special lunch with all her family. We look forward to returning very soon.

I am normally quite fussy when visiting hotels. This is well run hotel with good well manicured gardens. The staff were great, almost overly enthusiastic. The hotel had a low turnover of staff which is a good sign. I had my Hotel Inspector/Ratatouille moment as I stuck my teeth in to a wonderful bowl of mushroom soup with added truffle oil as I listened to Edith Piaf background music. I had a full 3 course meal and breakfast. The room was good with fairly new decor and the bed was very comfy. Great hotel.

We are coming to the end of an extended stay at Garvock House hotel and have been blown away with the warmth and personal service provided by the entire team, top to bottom. The food in the restaurant has been consistently wonderful, flavoursome and well presented. Our room was extremely comfortable, spacious and spotlessly cleaned and serviced everyday. We sensed the pride in the hotel every member of the team has and it was great to be looked after by a staff who clearly enjoy their job and work so well together. For dinner or Sunday lunch, don’t go anywhere else and if staying over in Dunfermline, choose the Garvock with absolute confidence

The Garvock house hotel isn’t at the outskirts of Dunfermline offering excellent facilities for any venue hold at the premises restaurant. Been there as guests for a birthday party,we did enjoy the food so we decided to book a table for a special dinner. We received a great welcome from the manager, Scott, and as we were a bit early, we were shown to the bar area for a drink. The bar is fully stocked and the prices for the drinks are very reasonable for the standard of the restaurant. What a good idea to have the menu and choose our food having our drinks to save time. Great traditional Scottish dishes on a set menu of 1, 2 or 3 course meals, as well as the ala carte ones. Food was cooked to perfection and presented in a gourmet way...the Huggins crispy balls with mustard potato purée and Whiskey cream sauce, from the starters,the Chicken supreme and the Venison steak from the mains, are highly recommended. The service was excellent to a very high standard by all the waiters. We finished our night with coffees and tea at the bar area. Very satisfied we had a great night and we’ll definitely return.

Spent two nights at this wonderful hotel, made even more special by two weddings occurring over the weekend, so was able to hear and see Scottish pipers and traditional men in kilts. Although there was a wedding each day of our stay, these did not impact on our stay as the layout of the hotel and thick walls meant we did not hear the wedding celebrations at all. Staff were very helpful and friendly and very attentive. Food and service were of an exceptional standard. Buffet breakfast of cereals, juices, fruit and pastries plus amazing cooked to order breakfast ranging from eggs Benedict with salmon to full English all cooked to perfection. Evening meal was just as impressive with a brilliant choice. Even the plate of shortbread that came out with our coffee served in the bar was amazing! We will definitely be going back.

Dined here midweek for wife’s birthday. Warm greeting and the restaurant offers a comfortable place to dine with nice views out to the garden. When taking our order I tried to get the duck ordered pink but the waiters iPad couldn’t recognise that so he proposed medium. Shame! There was an olive oil and balsamic dip on the table but never given any bread. Waiter poured water and took away jug and it was never seen or offered again. The salmon and crab starter was possibly the smallest I’ve ever had but did taste nice. Mains were ok but sadly my pink duck wasn’t I did scoff it all. Overall it was ok but expected better. We had a bottle of house champagne which brought a bill of Over £100....

Have eaten here a few times over the years and recently returned for another visit. Could not fault anything in terms of food, drink or service which was all first class and represented very good value for money. If I was to be picky a couple of points should be mentioned. Firstly there was no nibbles on the table with your pre-meal drink which I fondly remember from our last visit!! Also must mention that the choice of music for dinner was pretty awful and needs improvement. Why not some nice Scottish tunes rather than 1970’s piano elevator music?!?

It is probably the best restaurant in Dunfermline. It is not a culinary boundary pusher though but food is tasty and plentiful. Two of the party chose from the fixed price menu and I went a la carte. My filet steak was very good. My wife’s and my tempura prawns were not in a light batter and were a bit heavy. I do try to rate on the total overall experience and my rating would have been closer to 4 had it not been for the music. I am certainly amenable to listening to churchy choral Christmas tunes but not on repeat - we were on third loop when we left!!

From the moment we arrived, we were so well taken care of, the Hotel is more than beautiful. We as a family went there fir an early Christmas dinner, we were not disappointed , but delighted at the service, the mushroom and Tarragon soup so smooth and tasty, followed by roast turkey and all the trimmings, beautifully cooked, and presented, by waiters who so obviously enjoy their work in this truely superb hotel. A very fine cheesecake , then coffee and tablet completed the lunch. I have travelled the world but this gem of a hotel rates at the top of my list for service,and superb food

I have always been full of praise for this hotel whether it be a function or restaurant . We booked for Christmas lunch with family and were disappointed with the quality of the meal . We found he lunch menu to be quite small for choices. The Terrine of salmon was ok but not oustanding . The Turkey main course was very disappointing lacking in flavour or succulence ,the Venison was chewy in bits while other pieces were perfect . The Christmas pudding was ok but the cheese board was a disappointment with a poor selection and very small . We have come for years and enjoyed the lunches and dinners but found this poor fare for the festive season. It will be a while before we try the Garvock again and it will be someplace else next Christmas . Come on Garvock you can do a lot better than this

It was a pleasant experiance for a party of 9.Food was good but for some of the males, not enough, inspite of extra vegetables.Service was spasmodic especially for the serving of drink.This was not an affordable price for a 2 or 3 course meal .

Regularly, our 'gang of four' former work colleagues meet for lunch. The Garvock House Hotel is our home in Dunfermline. Today's return visit was, as expected, superb. Recognised and being warmly welcomed set the scene for the rest of the visit. The meal was excellent, freshly cooked and chosen from a menu that should suit everyone. The staff were so attentive without being intrusive. I liked that.

Great choice on the menu, which changes on a weekly basis (soup changes daily), whether you are vegetarian or prefer fish and meat. And simply scrumptious desserts! I can recommend both the fish and the vegetarian, and my husband loved the boeuf bourguignon.

Our family enjoyed a last minute lunch today for a hastily organised get together. The staff were as usual very efficient and the food was delicious. The hotel is always spotless and service faultless. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Intimate dining in a gorgeous setting. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. Three clean plates and the end of our meal. I couldn’t manage a dessert as the servings are plentiful without being wasteful. We had a lovely evening and will return soon. Not hesitation in recommending here if you enjoy good food.

People talk about things back “when they were done properly” as if good service, good manners, good food and hospitality are somehow a thing of the past and, there’s no doubt that in some areas of modern life that’s certainly true.

I have been visiting Garvock for dinner for many years but this is my first return visit in a long time. I have a great fondness for Garvock. The food was excellent. Well cooked and good sized portions. Efficient and friendly service. Very reasonably priced. My reason for giving a four is that while the dining room has a wonderfully formal yet relaxed atmosphere I felt the bar area and presentation of my drink (a very ordinary gin and tonic which contrasts with the experience in many other hotels now) and some of the choices of the menu do feel a little dated and could do with being refreshed. That said - I had a lovely meal and I can’t fault it overall.

We have just spent a wonderful weekend at this delightful hotel. We used the hotel as a base as we were visiting Knockhill Racetrack for motorbike racing. Despite the hotel being very busy with 2 weddings and other private functions, the service by the staff was not compromised in any way. All staff were outstanding from Reception to the bar staff and waiting staff, they were so friendly and efficient in every way. We enjoyed cocktails in the bar and taking our coffee in the gardens. Breakfast and dinner was excellent aswell. We hope to return next year. Thank you to all the staff at Garvock Hotel.

10 out of 10 for a fabulous venue for this special day. Big thanks to everyone at the Garvock. The food was great. Including breakfast, wedding meal and evening buffet. This made it a day to remember for both sets of families. Thank you.

I attended my Niece's wedding at Garvock House last Saturday, the. Venue was perfect for a small family wedding and we were treated very well from beginning to end. The weather prior to the wedding was horrendous but the rain went off and the sun came out allowing us to take photos in the beautiful gardens. The meal could not be falted and the staff went out of their way to accommodate a guest with food not on the menu. Some family members were staying in the hotel and rooms were enormous. The hotel was very busy over and above the wedding but nothing was a problem to the lovely staff. I would definetly recommend this Hotel for any kind of function.

What a disappointment. I found the Bothy at Boglily on TA, loved the look of the place, the gorgeous photos of cooked food on their site and the good reviews. We are doing a road trip and this was going to be our Sunday morning treat. The car park was jammed with cars and we saw people standing in a queue to pet baby goats. Upon entering the inviting Bothy and asking a young man for a table, we were told that we couldn’t bring our dog in. Fair enough. Not every dining establishment is dog-friendly. Though I was a bit surprised as the restaurant is in a buffalo farm, there’s a petting zoo and it’s in the countryside. The sun was shining so I asked if we could order our meal and sit at the table on the deck, directly next to the door of The Bothy (see photo for proximity). The young man’s response was that they don’t offer takeaway. I queried whether a table one step from the door qualified as takeaway. It reminded me of the TV ad with the man trying to buy potatoes at a farm shop and being told that he can only pay with digital currency. People taking themselves so seriously that they don’t think of the customer experience. We had driven up from our holiday cottage at Kinghorn especially to get a nice cooked breakfast from their lovely menu, so my surprise and disappointment were apparent. I was directed to the outdoor kiosk they call the Milk Bar to order something from their limited selection. We ordered one Double Cheese Toastie with fries, a latte, an affogato milkshake ( made with buffalo milk ice cream) and a scone, which was on their menu. The two lovely servers told me that they don’t sell scones outside and I would have to go to the Bothy Café to get one. When I explained that I had been told up there that I couldn’t get anything from them takeaway, the young woman offered to go get one for me. They were both very sweet and I apologised for my previous grumpiness. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the trouble. The cheese toastie and fries were served in a cardboard tray. The toastie was on “cheap white bread” according to my partner. I didn’t taste it. The fries and the milkshake however, were excellent. My scone was dry, cold and crumbled into breadcrumb texture when I tried to spread some butter on it. The crumb was impossible to pick up and eat but my dog liked it. It wasn’t worth eating for me as it then began to rain and we had to head for the car. I can’t help but think that the very cheerful, welcoming and upmarket website promises more than it delivers.

Happened on this by chance and so enjoyed the food we booked to come back again later in the week despite it being nearly a 30 mile trip. Great service. Great environment but mainly great food.

Had lunch here based on Tripadvisor reviews and I totally agree with the excellent rating for this super cafe! Busy Saturday but quickly seated, order promptly taken and then fantastic tomato and basil soup, egg mayo sandwich on lovely brown bread with salad, cheese and ham toasties with crisps arrived for us to enjoy! Substantial portions filled us up all day on a visit to the University Open Day. We will be back!
