We had a fab evening here the night before our wedding. Invited everyone to Gretna and then left them at our hotel 😂 I am (coeliac) gluten free and really enjoyed the GF menu. I had sweet and sour chicken with chips and rice. Nachos to start. Gosh I was full! My partner had a pie (no allergy requirements) and it was a very good portion!

A clean, warm and welcoming place with staff who made us feel at home. An extensive menu and good selection of wines. Great home made food with the accent on Scottish foods. We had to come here twice to confirm we loved the place. Thanks Fiona and staff

We stayed one night there. On arrival we had to find someone to check us in, she was the most surly person not ideal for front of house. We were shown to our room which was out with the actual hotel which we did not know we thought we would be staying in an actual hotel not an outhouse which looked like a toilet block. They should indicate on their website that there also have these extra rooms. They also should be a reduced rate not worth what we paid. Would not recommend to anyone.

Was very disappointed with my meal. The entire meal seems to have come from the freezer in a discount freezer shop. It was supposed to be fish and chips with crispy batter. Never on this earth could that be described as crispy. Soggy more like. All the veg and chips were from a freezer for sure. My wife's curry was no better. Give it a miss go somewhere else. I will. PS The girls serving were very nice unlike the food.

Stayed here for 2 nights B+B. The first thing we noticed was that the hotel was clean, that's always the first thing we look for. The staff were really helpful and professional, always a bonus. Now to the food, it was amazing and particularly good value. Had breakfast and evening meal on both days of our stay. We cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Our usual hotel along this road has since stopped trading , so we chose this one for our return trip from Scotland to winchester . Staff are really helpful and the hotel is larger than it looks from the road . Reception leads off to a large bar area and also dining room .. we were a.located one of the chalets thy stand separate from the main hotel . From the outside they look like a holiday camp chalet and I admit I groaned . But once inside they are compact and cosy .. newly revamped by the look of it . A really lovely bathroom and large shower , all gleaming clean and sparkling . Twin beds which are comfy , bedding that is crisp and clean . Carpets are clean , shelves are clean , everything was spotless . Paid £84 including breakfast , which is a bargain , seeing as we paid well over £100 for another hotel along the same road on the first leg of our trip , and it didn’t include breakfast ( read my other review on that one ! ) we do this trip from winchester to Scotland once a year for holiday , stopping in Gretna . I will def be using this hotel again and would recommend it 100%

Arrived and was served with a drink by a very nice lady. We were then showed to a table in the food hall as we were there for a meal. A young lady got us drinks and took our order. Everything up to this point was as you would expect in any food place. Good service and pleasant staff. Then when the food came HEAVEN! I had the Haggis tower starter (When in scotland......) and enjoyed every single last bit, I didn't want it to end. And for main I had haggis chicken and chips, I will say they are frozen chips not homemade, again the chicken haggis was absolutely gorgeous. The portion was huge I think my chicken must had been called Kate Price if you get my drift. I was very happily bloated after this delicious meal. Stayed for another drink and left very bloated and very full. TBH I doubt I will ever be in this area again but if I am I will 100% be back. My only, very slight, criticism would be not home made chips. 2 starters, 2 mains, 6 pints just under £70, so great value too. Dogs are allowed in the bar area which is cool with me as I love dogs. :)

Ate here as recommended by near by guest house. The food was very enjoyable, special shout out for The Balmoral Chicken. Service was OK, one young lady doing most of it, while others not paying much attention. Dining room a bit dated, but please overlook this and enjoy a good meal at reasonable prices.

Last night of an extended NC500 trip was spent at the BoJangles guest house (see separate review) and we needed somewhere close by to eat. We’d read good things about Solway Lodge online and it was very close by. First impressions weren’t that good though as the building looks as if it could do with a bit of sprucing up. The entrance is around the back of the building and it was unclear as to where we ought to go - we didn’t really want the formality of the dining room and simply wanted a bar meal. There’s an odd space between the dining room and the lounge bar that I couldn’t quite figure out - is it used as a dance floor for events (it is Gretna after all) or was it a kind of dead zone that the owners aren’t quite sure what to do with yet? The overall vibe I got from the place was that of a “working man’s club” - a sort of Phoenix Nights Gretna style. Luckily a member of staff found us a table in the lounge bar and drinks were offered immediately. Whilst local beers were sparse, they had Staropramen on tap so all was not lost. We’d already looked at the menu online, but this is clearly out of date and some dishes were no longer on the menu (shame as I quite fancied the chilli in a tortilla bowl). As it was our last night on Scottish soil I chose the haggis, bacon, cheeseburger. When it came out I wasn’t sure where to start - it was a tall stack skewered through the middle and topped off with battered onion rings. It was delicious, the flavour and texture of the haggis blending well with the tender beef. My wife chose the beer battered haddock and chips and this too was a sizeable portion. So our initial impressions based on the appearance and ambiance of the place were soon forgotten by the friendly and efficient staff and the excellent food (I now understand the owner is a chef !) If you’re in Gretna and want to try simple well cooked and well presented food you could do a lot worse than the Solway Lodge.

Stayed for one night. Stayed in a family room so space was tight. Room clean and good condition. Although the thermostat on the shower not working. We had the Sunday Roast which was large proportions and excellent value for the price. Breakfast was okay. Appeared to be deep fried. And chef not on shift. Whilst service was always very friendly the staffing was minimal. Possibly to do with the time of year. It’s a 3 star hotel so don’t expect luxury, but you do get a warm welcome and courtesy throughout your stay.

Just been for a meal with my wife ! Whilst i cannot fault the food we was subjected to approx 8 13-17 year olds be allowed to come in and sit at the next table being extremely loud , not buying anything ,snorting loudly which i asked the lad did he want my napkin to blow his nose which he wasn’t to happy about , the staff were reluctant and didnt know how to deal with them ?

Arrived for a family (5) meal at 12 noon, two courses each and we were still waiting for pudding at 2pm! Very slow service with one out of 3 waitresses interested. Food very mediocre and looked like bought in frozen rather than fresh. They obviously cater well for the elderly looking for a cheap Sunday roast, otherwise I would avoid if looking for good quality nutritious dishes.

Having stopped in for a change of restaurants we were so very surprised at the variety of choices available. They ranged from basic meals menu to the more exotic. The staff as usual overworked due to staff shortages were above and beyond, well organised, professional and polite.The quality of the food was 1st Class as was the well stocked Bar. We have just had a lovely 4 Day stay. The hotel is situated approx a half mile from the famous Gretna Gateway experience ,a short 10 minute 'stroll , also due to my wife and myself being in our 80,s we took advantage of our Bus passes and had 2 great Days out at Carlisle and Dumfries which gave me a break from driving, this was made easy for us due to the Bus stops with up to date timetables right outside the Hotel ,one side for each destination. this was a made to measure break for us. A return visit is on the cards soon.

Staying at a B&B down the road so called in for an evening meal . Booked for 6pm . Not many in but started to fill up after a while . I ordered the Cumberland ham and Grilled pineapple, Husband ordered the Chicken curry . We hadn’t eaten there before so we didn’t know to order the small portion . It was delicious, a little bit too much for me to eat , it came with chips and salad ( which was fine) then a boat with cauliflower broccoli and carrots came along . Too much really , but it was lovely. Husbands curry was tasty and plentiful If we returned to the area we would definitely eat there again , but order the smaller portions. Staff were nice , helpful and attentive

Excellent food as usual however they didn’t have our booking and we where placed at a table adjacent to function suite having the door continually opened at one of our parties back. The better table at the window we asked for was refused as it was booked despite our pointing out we also booked. The table at the window remained empty the entire time of our meal and no one appeared so possibly our booking was registered under a wrong name. Although the name recorded had no similarities to ours. That stated the meal was excellent, good value with pleasant staff, although young they appeared to try hard but inexperience showed. That aside we all need to learn growing experience it was a pity there was no obvious more experienced staff to mentor them. Despite these negative issues I would still recommend the venue, as worth a visit.

We dined here midweek when up Gretna for a family wedding ..... I’m always dubious when I enter a restaurant and the place was empty .... but we were here, so let’s eat .... a good selection of starters and mains to suit all palettes ..... Being as I was in Scotland I went straight for the Haggis and Bacon starter , it’s was listed as Sliced Haggis served on a potato Rossi and topped with bacon, drizzled with creamy whole grain mustard sauce ..... I’m not sure what I expected .... but it certainly wasn’t a single slice of haggis (might of been black pudding), a rasher of bacon and a hash brown... the sauce was very nice though.... for main I had the Tender topside of beef with the trimmings ... it’s was OK ... brought out swimming in gravy .... I admit I expected more than food with the equivalent to budget chain pub meals .... It was reasonably priced at £42 per couple....

Best quality beef and ooh so tasty, cooked to order but we didn't have to wait long, we sat in the pleasant bar and had a dri.nk - for those drivers they do 0% lager too. A good selection of food was available as well as a specials list. Well that burger was totally delicious served with lovely hot fresh and a nice side salad. Unfortunately i cannot comment on the pudding only because I was so full I couldn't fit one in disappointing as they sounded delicious.

We had a party of 10 on Saturday evening for a wedding night meal, we reserved a table and was seated quickly with no fuss, the starters were amazing we all had something different and we was all very impressed, however the main meals were very disappointing scampi was over cooked and the lasagne was full of grease the pork was dry and we were all unimpressed as the starters were so good, the puddings were good however the ice cream to the banana boats was cheap and wasn't worth the 4.75 it's not overpriced it just needs a little more effort to be put into the meals, oh and sack the Sunday singer he's dreadful and we're not the only ones to think it sorry ;)

A late booking when staying in town, the Solway Lodge hotel restaurant proved an excellent find. Substantial main course portions (small lamb and beef more than enough for myself and friends) together with large deserts (roulade and chic fudge cake both with ice cream plenty to share between four) washed down with a well priced white wine, beer and soft drink all for less than £50. The restaurant was impeccably clean and the waiting staff friendly but polite at all times. To be recommended if you find yourself in Gretna.

Tuesday evening meal in the Resturant. Clean tables, nicely presented food and piping hot. 2 x main, 1 x sweet, 1 x coffee plus bottle of wine (+tip) = £49. No cold Prosecco, no Pinot Grigio Rose, no Shiraz, no Rioja and 'house red' not particularly nice!Service good.

We ate here twice once at dinner time and once at tea time. Both occasions were absolutely spot on. The choice is fantastic something for everyone even our fussy eaters. The quality of the food was excellent and the portion sizes are huge. What's good is you can order half portions which some of our party had which if you've had a starter or you just don't est a lot is perfect. Definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be returning

Best part of the experience was our great server / bartender. Perhaps I should have had the Balmoral Chicken as he suggested as my roast beef meal was mediocre at best. My wife had the chicken pie and was also passable. That said. Ample menu, nice ambience and great service.

Checked trip adviser and found good reviews on this place so chose it rather than nearer restaurants. Great choice! Went for dinner and service was great. Young restaurant and bar staff but very aware of good customer service requirements. Food excellent too. Well worth a visit if in the area

We stayed at Gretna Chase for my daughter's wedding in September 2009 and were delighted with the hotel. It wasn't their first choice but I am so glad that that one was fully booked ! The rooms in this hotel are very big, clean and you are provided with all you could need. staff lovely

Food was absolutely diabolical when i went there. Ordered a breakfast stick which i thought would be pretty simple but the meat was cold, roll was stale and staff barely said a word to me apart from snatching the money out my hand. Rubbish food, rubbish service and 1 unhappy customer!
