Restaurant At House O'Hill Hotel in Dumfries & Galloway

I'm aware the house o'hill has just opened back up but our experience was as if we had just walked into faulty towers, there was a boss lady trying to take orders but didn't have a clue, a boss man that just wanted to stand at pizza counter and do nothing and a poor girl stuck on till not knowing how to work till and don't forget jack and Victor in the kitchen, there was 6 tables with people sitting and you thought there was 36 most meals came out late and wrong, also no alcohol sold people will wait for a meal if there drinking alcohol but not if there drinking coke, food was basic but good when we eventually got it, for the life of me I don't know what the problem was cause me and my wife could have served and cooked what was sitting on Saturday night ourselves with no help, I really hope they can turn this round

Not our first visit and definitely not our last. We love the tapas style of meals (not Spanish dishes but small bite size portions of everything from venison lollipops to haggis bon bons).

First time trying the hoose since they changed to a tapas menu, we were not disappointed. The food still has the same great flavours as always, all made with care and presented beautifully. Staff were chatty as always. Looking forward to our next visit.

Really enjoyed our meal here, would highly recommend. Staff were very accommodating as we had a baby, a dog and 4 adults. The tapas was great, thanks for having us!

Camping just up the road, ate here for 2 nights. Host very friendly and both nights fitted us in without a real booking. Food is excellent ( try the haggis bon bons) . Staff where great. Stock local beers that go down a treat. Wi definitely call again if we are back in this part of Scotland.

We visited whilst staying in the lodges nearby. Firstly, fantastic that it’s a dog friendly establishment. Food was absolutely delicious. We all loved the tapas menu. It had a fab variety of choices to choose from and all the food was delicious. Service was great too, really friendly staff. Would 100% return and recommend. Loved it!

Well… we stayed at the campsite nearby! What a pleasant surprise to have a beautiful, local pub with locals and also people from afar! The staff were amazing, so friendly and attentive - interested in where we’d been before coming to the area. Met the owner (lovely!) and the manager (just as nice!!!). The food… this was another level (and we love our food!)… we had the tapas menu. Couldn’t fault it! We even had our dog with us who was spoilt too! Would HIGHLY recommend. They open from late march for spring/summer/early autumn. Oh… nice little beer garden too. Well… we loved it!

We visit here every year it’s great place to eat after a day walking locally . Fantastic food and great selection of beers and wine......Dog friendly and great staff.....one to visit if in the are

I am very thankful to the staff of House o’ Hill for a meal that elevated a weekend from being really good to superb! It happened to be close to where we were staying and given the reviews we were keen to try it. The other excellent reviews were not wrong. We ate delicious home cooked, locally sourced food, with friendly, attentive and efficient staff. I struggled to choose from the menu because there was such a good choice including vegetarian and dishes of the day. The bill was very reasonable for the quality of the meal, which was plentiful. We left planning our next visit. It is relatively remote but very much worth travelling to. Highly recommended!

A oasis in the middle of a beautiful part of the country. The staff were very friendly and helpful the food was freshly prepared and the quality was excellent. Highly recommended if you're in that part of the world.

My friend and I arrived foot sore and weary after covering some 13 miles of the Southern Upland Way much of which was either big or hard road. I was to be picked up while he was to solo on but we were both hungry and thirsty. Having negotiated something to drink we decided that when my wife arrived we would have a meal. We expected pub food but were surprised and pleased when we saw the menu. Still expecting nothing much in such a remote spot we were amazed when 2 fish stews for my wife and my friend arrived closely followed by a delicious chicken and leek home made pie for me. We ate in silence marveling at the quality and presentation of the food. This would be classed as fine dining in the big city. The puddings arrived sticky toffee ( I know it is a bit naff to have that ubiquitous put but !!!) which was right out of the top drawer home made and unctuous. Our hosts were great fun with lots of chat and jokes and the place was buzzing despite the fact that it was far from anywhere. Top Marks to the House O Hill the food was the best and the cost was considerably less than you would pay in a city restaurant claiming to be high quality but not in the same league as House O Hill. I am trying hard to find an excuse to go back to this little gem. Well done all the staff and compliments to the chef.

Lovely food in a cosy environment, very friendly staff and although the food was of very good standard I did find it a little pricey

Having tried both the basket meals and the restaurant meals we can only commend this restaurant. Food is superb service attentive and young female member of staff was extremely knowledgeable about the menu. Good value based on the product they serve.

When we arrived we were told the main chef was sick and it was a reduced menu, however, it turned out there was nothing to worry about it was still an extensive menu with a wide range of options including many vegetarian. The food was excellent and everyone was really friendly it was as if we had been going there for years. If we are ever back in the area we will be back. Definitely book as it was very busy

Friendly welcome. Very efficient service. Gorgeous food. Would definitely recommend. Got very busy. Best to book. Just lovely

What an amazing little hidden gem. We stayed nearby but ate in this wonderful little establishment several times, each time it more than delivered on quality and value. Alison and her team were so friendly and couldn't do enough, they made everyone welcome, including all the dogs. The food was amazing and the choice and quality of the vegetarian food was exceptional. Our waiting staff were lovely (beautiful girl who " liked my perfume", sorry we missed your name). A huge thank you to all of you for your hard work, dedication and friendliness x

I have waited for quite a while since my experience at House O'Hill before leaving this review as I wanted it to be as fair and balanced as possible. Having looked through all of my Tripadvisor reviews I tend to focus on positive and rarely...

Had a great evening at the restaurant for my 60th birthday with friends,whilst holidaying in the area. The food that evening was tapas,which was excellent.Great food and wine.Lovely friendly staff,would recommend.

Very busy when we visited so slow service. But compensated by very friendly staff and extensive menu. My beef joint was tough but tasty. My wife's flander was delicious. A good place for an informal pub meal with a difference. Very limited parking, so get...

Visited here whilst on holiday following seeing a recommendation on FB dog friendly places to eat in Dumfries and Galloway. Food and service was brilliant. We were able to reserve a table in the beer garden which was great as we had our dog and...

What an amazing experience - fabulous food and a great menu - lovely surroundings and very warm welcome - we were so well looked after. The restaurant at House O'Hill Hotel is an absolute gem and we will certainly return soon.

We just had the most incredible vegan lunch at House O'Hill Hotel, I can't recommend it enough if you are ever visiting this area!! The chef recently turned vegan and it was probably one of the best vegan meals I have ever had, so many...

This place never fails to deliver. Helen, Jess and the team have got this nailed. The place is relaxing and comfortable. The food is fabulous and the service excellent. There is always a warm welcome at The Hoose.

The two of us went out to the House o Hill last night, and sat in an apparently new area outside, called the wee neuk. Totally charming. We chose the same dishes as , from what we had seen on other diners plates, looked .....mmmm,...

We visited here last September as a family of 6. The food and service were all excellent and we couldn’t have been made to feel more welcome. Would really recommend a visit if you are in the area.

On the edge of the forest close to Glentrool and miles from any other accommodation, this place was a perfect location for exploring the forest. Good spacious bedrooms and a comfy bed. The food wasn't the best we'd had on our holiday but met our...

So exceptionally safe! No place I have been to has made such an effort to ensure safety of staff and customers! Come here if you're going stir crazy but are scared of COVID-19 and don't want to take risks. The staff were so friendly and...

We've been coming to this superb little hotel and restaurant for years simply because the standards are outstanding and the staff so friendly and helpful. The food is just too delicious for words - always. Yes, occasionally, the staff will enjoy a drink while interacting...

Who would have thought you would find such fantastic food in the middle of nowhere? All home-made, all clever and creative and bags of choice! My daughter is vegan and has found that she has struggled to find anything to eat when going out to dine in this area, yet here she didn't only have something to eat, she had lots of options! All of them clever, original and homemade - she opted for the lentil and quinoa 'meatballs' and was blown away - I have to admit I tried them and being a carnivore myself I was really impressed and almost wish I had ordered them myself.... I say almost because I ordered the venison fillet and WOW! I have never seen such a beautiful plate of food. This is fine dining at a fraction of the price and without the pretentiousness! There really was something for everyone, everything from traditional favourites (pies, fish and chips) to fine dining and vegetarian and vegan options - and not token vegan options, every bit of effort was made for their vegan customers as they make for everyone else (which is a lot!) and it was lovely to sit down for a family meal with everyone catered for equally brilliantly.The service was second to none! The staff were serving us in a busy restaurant yet they had all the time in the world for you. This little place has taken social distancing and the COVID 19 pandemic exceptionally seriously, with tables spaced out appropriately, hand sanitiser as you enter the building and keeping the two meter social distancing (they haven't reduced it to 1meter like many places have). We felt completely and utterly safe in the restaurant, which is especially important to us as my wife is classed as 'vulnerable' and has been anxious about going out, yet here, she was able to relax and enjoy herself more than she has anywhere else since the beginning of this dreadful situation. What a shame we only found this venue on the last day of our break or else we would have been here every night. We all absolutely loved our dining experience at this wonderful little place and have decided to book a return trip specifically to come back here . We can't wait to see you all again!

We went for a meal here yesterday ( Sunday 4th Oct). Very disappointed in the attitude of the staff there. Towards the end of our visit the owners were drinking in the bar and tables were left uncleared. Not very professional...... I won’t be using this place again.

Three of us visited on Sat 05/09 and thoroughly enjoyed our meal! Felt totally at ease thanks to the Covid measures in place! The menu was varied and included tapas from ‘around the world’.We shared some tapas for starter and two of us opted for the traditional fish & chips for our main - we were not disappointed. COD was a sizeable portion with a thin coating of crispy.Tapas of fresh prawns and steak bites for the other main were lovely. Overall a great choice of restaurant with good service and value for money!

"House O'Hill Hotel" provides a mixup of tapas style delivery, a great variety of meal types on offer but with smallish portion sizes with mainly seasonal locally sourced food on the menu. The beer was good too. Cut above the usual mid price offering, friendly, rapid but not rushed service.Vegan, vegie and meaty / fishy options all well presented and tasty. One beer sampled was well served. More limited variety of pudding options, but these well prepared.Lovely!

We had two excellent dinners here when they were doing Tapas from around the world. All very tasty. The staff were very friendly and the restaurant had put in suitable social distancing precautions. We had an excellent stay and will definitely be coming back.

We started off with going for a pint and a meal after a walk, this has progressed to overnight stays and six years of Burns Suppers!This years speakers excelled themselves and although our friends from the Isle of White and Ireland didn’t understand half of it ! The delivery they understood and belly laughed.The House team exceeded themselves with both the quality and quantity of the food and drink, I especially enjoyed the haggis gateau and the cranachan.

Delicious food and great service. We often come here when visiting my parents. The staff are always friendly and accommodating to our picky vegetarian ways! Very warm and inviting and a much looked forward meal together during our stay.

After getting here at 6pm in dark this place was recommended by local caravan site.My partner is pregnant and also a vegetarian so we always find it hard.We was warmly welcomed which can be rare in country establishments.Vegetarian pasty and the non alcoholic whiskey sauce is a must with a side of hallumi fries.....Yum Yum Yum 10/10

We hired the cottage next door 2 weeksago and came into this pub for dinner on the Saturday night, we arrived about 4ish and told food didn't start until 5ish which was fine, we booked a table for 7pm and came back. The staff are so lovely and welcoming, the restaurant is beautiful and such a relaxed atmosphere and the food was amazing we loved it so much we have booked to come back again in 2 weeks ❤️

We were in the area for the week and relied on tripadvisor reviews to choose somewhere for my wife’s birthday meal. On the edge of the Galloway Forest we got a taxi from Newton Stewart with Maclean taxis who were on time,reasonably priced and reliable. Staff at the restaurant had put a birthday banner up for my wife which was a nice touch. The food was well cooked and tasty. Service prompt and attentive. A drink at the bar after and we spoke with the owner and others who were all welcoming. Recommend a visit. Specials are from Thursday over the weekend so sorry we missed this opportunity. Next time! Many thanks

Went with some friends for a meal. The place was quite busy when we got there but it felt like they had all the time in the world for us. All four of us had something different to eat and when our meals arrived we each looked enviously at each others plate - they all looked so good. Indeed, they were delicious.We had a fabulous evening, all our meals were cooked to perfection with generous portions. If you want standard pub grub, this is not for you. This is simply outstanding for quality, service, ambience and yum factor. Well done Helen and team, we will certainly be back soon.

Based on the glowing reviews , we decided to make a significant round trip for dinner.We ordered drinks before being shown to our table. The half pint of local ale which I was given was flat and tasted dreadful. The very enthusiastic lady tried to serve me a livelier drink by holding a pint glass further from the pump and pulling faster - this resulted in a beer that held a watery head for about a minute but was still undrinkable.We were shown to the table and then told that over half the menu was unavailable on Wednesdays and Thursdays - having failed to mention this when we booked or when we walked in. We decided to stay as this is miles from anywhere else to eat.The steak which arrived had been cooked medium rare as ordered but that was the only thing positive I could say about it. Almost impenetrable to a sharp steak knife , the pieces were tough and chewy with connective tissue and sinew throughout - only suitable for stewing. The lady was apologetic and offered to get another one but I'm afraid that by this stage I had no faith that anything would be any better. She came back a few minutes later to apologise that she had served me the wrong type of steak - Flat Iron instead of the Ribeye I had ordered. This missed the point that whatever cut of meat it was , it was inedible.The battered fish was pale to the point of not being cooked .My wife ate a small part of her fish and then offered to pay . Amazingly ,the lady accepted full payment for the fish and chips and the two bottled soft drinks whilst remaining strangely happy throughout this process as though nothing was wrong. The worst experience we have ever had by following a TA recommendation by some distance and we won't be back .

We were so pleased that this place was open on one of the days that we were staying close by (not open Mondays or Tuesdays). Staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was excellent - good portions, tasty, value for money and plenty of vegetarian options. Make sure to book a table, especially at peak times. Would highly recommend the Sunday roast with all trimmings.

Excellent food and very friendly staff enjoyable Sunday dinner great atmosphere homemade soup was amazing

Walked there from the campsite ( 10 mins )good menu and great food but you need to be early to get the specials

Visited here on Saturday for an evening meal and Sunday for their set lunch menu £15:99 for 3 courses, glad we did, the food was excellent, plenty of it, even had a menu for our dogs (only allowed in the bar area, no problem) who were made a fuss of, staff were really friendly, attentive to our needs and made us feel really welcome, WE WILL BE BACK!!!

The pub lost power as we stepped in the door, lucky the kitchen had a gas cooker and was still able to provide great food. Everyone had a laugh about the power being off but a nearly full menu was still provided and the chef did a great job.

Group lunch with art group. Meal good and service quick. Set near Glentrool visitor centre with acess to Galloway Hills

This is a lovely Pub/Hotel. The staff and owner/Chef are so welcoming. The food is excellent quality, and the menu should cater for all tastes. Some nice whiskies too for an after dinner drink or two..,,

Wonderful food and very good service. They had an ale which was nice. We thought the quality of the food good. We had a very nice visit on the weekend as we also stayed the night and for breakfast. The location is good for exploring the region. We would happily visit again.

We came here for a Burns Supper and had a great night. The entertainment was as good as you could hope for at a Burns night. The food was imaginative and excellent. We are so used to haggis neeps and tatties at the end of January but here the haggis was served with an original twist. The welcome was as warm as the food. What a great night in congenial company with lovely hosts.

See my other review regarding locus. Defo worth a visit, food excellent. Haggis or pate starters perfect. Chicken and leek pie, stuffed full of chicken, super soft pastry, enough said. Try yourself...

Our friend lives locally to this restaurant, he recommended it to us.He knows a thing or two about good food being a forager. We arrived with an open mind and were straight away delighted with a heart felt welcome from the staff.

We booked a table at House O Hill for our anniversary meal as we were in the area in our motor home. There is a large parking area and we got parked easily despite being 6.5 m long!

Spotted this as driving by and called in with our Springer on a Late September Monday. Made extremely welcome, in fact Bella our springer became best friends with one staff member on duty. We ordered Scallops, Fish and Pate, all cooked to perfection.

For somewhere that seemed to be in the middle of nowhere the restaurant was surprisingly good.

Well signposted from the main road and a reasonbale car park. It has a regular number of events and is clearly a centre for the sparse local population. We had a good meal, served quickly in good portions and piping hot. The decor is fresh and modern however the tables are a little too close together for personal space, moving in and out, etc. A good bar selection and the staff were very welcomng. Prices were reasonable.

Wish we were more local so we could return here time and time again. We went for dinner (husband, 9 month old and I) during a powercut! The staff were great and even the reduced menu was plentiful with lots of choice. Considering no power the food was fantastic - we would definitely return to see what the chef could do with power! Our waiter was lovely too. Very accommodating. Would recommend and return

Popped in here whilst staying nearby as we had heard good things about it. We found the menu to be interesting and varied and enjoyed three well cooked, beautifully presented and politely served courses. I would happily recommend this restaurant.

We had a lovely meal here. A very pretty building, set just in the Galloway Forest. Excellent choices of food. Lovely wine friendly and helpful staff.,

Went here for a drink in the passing and decided to book a table for the following night. I liked this place, food was good beer was good and liked the atmosphere ( will return to that ) The service was excellent though there was a wait between courses. All in all good, but back to atmosphere. We had a father and teenage children sitting next to us who were talking about Scots and were rather offensive, spoiled the night

table of six of us visited for a birthday meal. We were offered a table in the bar area to start with however the manager quickly responded to my discouragement and soon had a table available in the dining area instead for us after a short wait (well done and thank you for your professional response) courses arrived in good time, service was friendly albeit the lady serving was a bit inexperienced however she more than made up for this by her excellent customer care skills and friendliness. I have dropped a rating as several items (one main, steak sauce, one pudding) seemed to be forgotten about or arrive late, however thanks to our server who was so attentive that errors were quickly rectified. We will definitely return.

We had a family lunch here to celebrate my wife's birthday. They had Happy Birthday banners up and a free miniature bottle of Prosecco for my wife, which was a nice touch. Sadly from then it was mostly down hill at House O'Hill. I had never had liquid Pâté before this, I have now. I had Venison Pie ( wish I had taken photo)... pastry with 'venison' in the middle and ONE piece of cauliflower on the plate. That was it. With it was a sorry looking small basket of chips. They looked as if they had been reheated from the night before. Value for money....most certainly NOT. On leaving I noticed the board outside boasted " Restaurant Of The Year 2017". I can only assume they were the only entrants last year. Having read some of the great reviews on here since returning, I am now beginning to wonder if I was at the right House O'Hill. VERY DISAPPOINTING and certainly would not recommend it. It's a nice building in a lovely setting perhaps that it was totally empty apart from us spoke volumes.

Had the most amazing prawn cocktail and steak dinner here at the weekend. The staff were so accommodating and pleasant. We had 5 large wolfdogs with us so we had the free run of the function room!

Oh dear. This started so promisingly. Starters arrived promptly and were really nice, scallops, belly pork and soup, all really nice. Then it went downhill. 2 of us were given the wrong chicken dish (after a looong wait this is), then another wait while the correct meals were prepared. Chicken dinner with all the trimmings, the menu said. Hmm. No mash, no stuffing, not enough gravy, the veg could have fitted on a dessert spoon. Very disappointing and I was still hungry afterwards. The 2 waitresses were pleasant but service was all over the place and there needs to be more organisation. We may have visited when they were having a bad day, but I certainly won’t hurry back. Would rather have been offered a free coffee or something, instead we got apology after apology.

We ate here on a Mondy evening and it was busy enough we could not get the time we wanted. The food was great, the service attentive and it was pretty full. All in all, a very enjoyable evening meal

This place is a hidden gem situated within the stunning surroundings of the Galloway Forrest Park. The food is absolutely sublime - possibly one of the best meals we have had in a long time! The staff were really friendly and helpful, adding to the lovely atmosphere of this venue. We will definitely be retuning in the near future!

During our week in Galloway, we ate here twice and really appreciated the lovely atmosphere, the genuine dog friendly attitude and the lovely food and drink we had.

Stopped here after a good walk at Glentrool Visitor Centre for a spot of lunch. We sat outside at the side as we had our dog with us, although they did say that the dog would be allowed in the bar.

From the minute you walk into this pub you feel instantly relaxed and happy. Superb warm welcome, fun and friendly staff with a nothing is to much trouble attitude in spades. And the food- pretty much exquisite. Stuffed chicken to die for and my husbands lamb dish was "in my top 5 meals". He's a fussy bugger too!! And don't get me started in the cheesecakeA sublime.

A lovely wee freindly and well decorated pub only a few minutes walk from a fantastic campsite. A very nice surprise to find the food was fantastic, considering I felt I was in the middle of nowhere. When I was there on a weekend it always seemed busy, so i’d probably recommend booking an evening table in advance.

This review is aimed at those people travelling to House o'Hill in expectation of an above average meal, based on the positive reviews here and elsewhere, and on the award of Restaurant of the Year Dumfries and Galloway 2017. Perhaps we came on a bad day, but in general we were disappointed.

We've eaten here twice in the past week as we were staying locally in a holiday cottage and this came highly recommended (justly!) and was within walking distance from our temporary home.

We had a lovely meal here. Amazing food fantastic staff couldn’t ask for more. The food was all hot and fresh the staff can’t do enough for you and although you can’t take dogs in the restaurant you can in the pub part which is...

Ten hungry walkers arrived at 2.32pm on a Sunday afternoon desperate for food. Ordered drinks and then told no food can be served as kitchen closed. We asked what time the kitchen closes expecting and answer of 1:30 or 2pm..... the answer 2:30. So we...

Stayed at the Glentrool Campsite a very small walk away. The Pub and the Campsite are fantastic both are well worth a visit.

Everything we ate was absolutely flawless. Wish we lived in Glentrool to be able to visit more often! A must try of you are in the area!

Little gem of galloway! Really great food, wine and service. Highly recommend and certainly will be returning.

Stayed at the lovely Glentrool Camping and Caravan site just up the road so this was a great place for a drink or two and some lovely meals. A varied menu with “specials” on the board and everything we had was well cooked. Lovely personal...

Great flat iron steak best I've had great flavour .will be back in the near future. Fiona had the burger said it was fantastic and the sweets are great.

Great local food, good service, beautiful location. Have eaten here several times now over a period of a couple of years. Food has always been of a gourmet level and well presented. Friendly staff complete the overall great impression. Well worth a visit

By far the best restaurant in the SW of Scotland, well worth a visit. First class welcome and service from the staff, the menu suits all with additional dishes on the specials board, the food is cooked to a high standard and presented well, we left having enjoyed a tasty meal with plans to revisit very soon. The only drawback is that it is located of the beaten track, however this is a small setback soon forgotten once you start enjoying the menu.

A friend of mine had been to the restaurant earlier in the year and felt it was so good that he had to take us there. It's about 15 minutes drive from Newton Stewart where we were staying, but it was well worth it. The...

whilst staying at Glentrool camp site we dined here twice and it exceeded any expectations. a warm welcome as soon as we went in from Alison and Debbie. the menu covered all tastes and a special board had seasonal dishes locally sourced. all in all excellent food at reasonable prices.

In a small country town this is a worthwhile venue.Not fine dining but good wholesome food freshly made from fresh ingredients.A lovely lunch great staff and plenty of quality craft beers.Very reasonably priced.

we had an evening meal here whilst staying at the campsite up the road. i can highly recommend the food and the place its self, the menu is excellent and include traditional local foods. if gin is your tipple then this is a must visit as they specialise in it and have many varieties the rhubarb is especially good.

Having read other reviews about this hotel/pub we thought we should give it a try. It was a shame that it is positioned right on the far side of Galloway forest as I think a lot of visitors would be put off making the trip, and as it was we gave up the first day as we realized we would run out of time and there was so much to see and do in a limited time. However the food, although a bit pricey was very well cooked and presented. The best meal we've had all week.

We went there for an impromptu dinner date. Its as if my mother phoned ahead and told them exactly how I like my food.The pie of the day was exquisite and everything was extremely reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Booked the function room for friday night. 12 people and large dogs. Excellent service nothing too much trouble. Amazing food. Lovely room where humans and dogs were able to chill.

Beautifully presented meal very tasty staff helpful service a little wait we didn't expect as not that busy but when food came it was worth the wait

You'll need to go a long road to find a better place to eat. We all (10+) loved every dish - from prawn cocktail starters through braised venison & falafel burgers to salted caramel puddings. Everything was served with cheerful smiles & passing pats for our dogs. Amazing place & can't rate it highly enough.
