The Anchor Hotel Kippford in Dumfries & Galloway

We were up for our annual family holiday and booked for Sunday lunch for 10 of us. The range of food on offer was great something for everyone and no one was disappointed when it arrived everything was spot on. The food was tasty, value for money,service attentive and you can't beat tge location. Thank you

Didn't stay at the hotel but had lovely lunches and coffees. The staff were pleasant and attentive. Nice and cosy with the log fires. Dogs allowed too.

Lovely setting and once again wonderful food.

We called in for a drink on Tuesday and decided to go back for a meal on the Wednesday dinner everyone was so welcoming. So glad we did! Again everyone was very welcoming, there was a real fire we sat next to, and the food was delicious.

Stayed 2 nights B&B good ale excellent food Steaks perfect (med) breakfast very good also Bar bit dark but comfortable Dogs very welcome in bar only (can eat there) but not allowed in resteraunt Will return

Had a great meal here with my wife and dog. Staff very friendly and good portion sizes . Will be back soon.

If you want great food and good service the place to go to is the anchor and what a location. Staff great and food great lovely walks with the dog pop in and then a great food and drink. Ps try the IPA

We sprayed nearby for a few days and came across this little diamond. Food was fantastic and drinks were great with a good choice, nice and relaxed looking over the bay.

Sunday Lunch was fantastic value, great quality and really tasty. The service was first class all around. Really homely, welcoming pub with nice choice of drinks and lovely location on the river front. Would highly reccomend and already talking about a return visit next year.

Stopped for a meal, service was good, food was good, sticky toffee pudding was fantastic.

Had an afternoon out in and around Kippford. It is absolutely beautiful, weather very warm and the scenery was amazing. We had lunch at the hotel, it was delicious, highly recommended.

Lovely location on the seafront overlooking the bay.Superb Roast Beef Dinner plus resident Tawny Owl!

We had dinner there with friends. Everything was well organized. Service was very friendly. Can only be recommended.

Lovely food with big quantities. Very busy on a Sunday evening!

Really lovely staff who squeezed us in on a very busy night without booking. Gorgeous food, family friendly place, beautiful views across the harbor outside. Menu great plus lot's of specials too!

We had lunch here and couldn't fault it at all. The staff were helpful and courteous and the food was delicious. We had whitebait & chicken tandoori tenders to start and the whitebait was outstanding. Main courses were enormous (BBQ ribs & steak burger) and super tasty. The location is beautiful, looking out over the water. I'd definitely recommend The Anchor to others.

Looks a little pricey at 1st glance, but the food was absolutely fantastic. Well worth it for sure. Staff were lovely too.

A great hotel in a fantastic location ! We have visited several times on our motorbike trips around Scotland. Helpful friendly staff ( Alan especially , very informative ) and great food and beer , all at sensible prices , We will return …. Recommend !

I had a excellent meal here it's a really hidden gem

Stopped off here for a drink, whilst doing a coastal walk. Lovely location and staff coped well with our sudden arrival - 11 of us, all told.

Great location, great service and great food. 👍

Best pint of prawns on the solway 💯🐾🐾 Visited again in June 2024, steak, Fish & chips & muscles. Food was fantastic, all cleared their plates and to top it off a few pints of bitter & twisted went down a treat. One day we will stop here because if the rooms are as welcoming & first class as the rest of the offer, it would be a real treat. Dog friendly too. Well done Andrew & Susan (Drew patterson)

Called in on the off chance, had the fish pie ,excellent, staff Brilliant, tremendous choice on the menu, plus specials. Almost too many to pick from. Pay them a visit.

Lovely place to eat and drink. Fab food and friendly staff

Stopped by for drinks and also decided to try the crab on toast starter, which was absolutely delicious and decent portion size. There is a seating area outside the front with great views of the estuary.

A very good breakfast with a wonderful view.

Booked dinner for 6 at fairly short notice...they have extensive dining facilities. Food was excellent. Seafood especially fresh and delicious.

Great beer garden overlooking the water with really nice staff too.

Just had lunch, fish and chips,for the good lady and the king prawn curry for me it was all really good 👍 😋

Had a wonderful meal. Atmosphere really nice at the Anchor

Best roast beef Sunday lunch I've ever had!

The lunch we had was wonderful! Steak loaded chips, prawn & chorizo pasta, mussels, profiteroles - huge portions of delicious food

Stopped here a few times on a short break in Kippford. Had some food and drinks. The view outside is lovely and they have a good variety on the menu as well as daily specials. Worth a stop

Didn't stay in the hotel, but sat outside with friends for lunch. We all chose different things from the menu and everything was really tasty.

Great selection of ales and spirits... Loved the views from the terrace and beer garden.

The beer was expensive but the food was excellent.

Very friendly staff, excellent food (we had port side platter and Anchor sundae, missing out on the Sunday roast various about us were relishing 🙄) and good drinks. We plan to return one Sunday 😉😋 VERY dog friendly, there were many in, all well behaved too👍🏻👏🏻🐕🐾

Didn't stop there but always a great night in the Anchor, really good staff and reasonably priced drink. Good food selection, served and presented well. Certainly won't be my last night in there. I would give a full 5 star but they need a few more real ales on . So let's call it 4.9

Great food,helpfull staff, great bear selection, will return.

Lovely lunch in the Anchor. Full and varied menu served piping hot. Great customer service in nice surroundings. Recommend booking as it's very popular. 5*

Popped in for a quiz night. Great fun and a great atmosphere.

Had a lovely meal with the hubby. Excellent service. Food was amazing. Highly recommended

Room Cleanliness Staff Food All outstanding Will definately be back

We visited this place to have some food and drink I must say all the meals and drinks we had were fantastic and I can recommend the beef and mushroom pasta as well as the venison and haggis burger

We accidentally came across the Anchor Hotel whilst down for a weeks holiday nearby. We went back for dinner and sat outside with a stunning view across the water in the evening. The food was great and both staff members who served us were very polite and welcoming. We sat outside as our dog can't sit at peace for more than 2 minutes, however the layout was excellent for us. Inside was lovely as well with a nice fireplace by the bar giving the place a warm and cosy feeling. We'll be back again before leaving :).

Fabulous place. It was a pleasure to visit the Anchor Hotel at Kippford twice in recent weeks. The welcome was warm and friendly and the traditional decor was so refreshingly honest creating a wonderful atmosphere. The food was excellent on both occasions, tasty, quality ingredients with good sized portions well presented without waiting ages. The seafood chowder and fish and chips winning the food jealousy votes! All at prices that are reasonable and reflect the quality of the food and the lovely experience . Highly recommended before or after the Jubilee Path walk to Rockcliffe. Thank you to the team at the Anchor Hotel for a great experience 👍😀👍

We had an amazing meal here. I had the steak loaded chips which were lush and my partner had the steak and ale pie & cheesecake dessert. Could not fault it. Felt it for the guy working as he was the bar staff / waiter and booking taker all rolled into one. Still great service non the less!

We were in Kippford for four days and chose to eat at The Anchor three times! Great food, friendly staff and excellent menu. I’ll be back! There was not one meal we found fault with. The profiteroles are to die for! Don’t visit Kippford without a stop at The Anchor

Great location. Cosy bar. Friendly bar staff

Great Hotel, excellent food and drinks. We had the mussels as well as surf and Turf with a cocktail on the side. Well done team Anchor

Visited on Christmas eve at lunchtime, great food, freindly staff and lovely atmosphere.

Ate dinner in afternoon . Fish and chips .batter on fish was really good , chips were crispy , but too many for me . Reasonable price at £15.95. Pub was warm and comfortable after a walk along the beach . Friendly staff . Will definantly return . And dog friendly inside .
