THE BUCCLEUCH Hotel & Restaurant in Dumfries & Galloway

Great place, will be back for sure

These people are golden. Really nice and the hotel is fantastic.

Stayed here for first time last week. Can definitely recommend it. Food was great, everyone very helpful and friendly.

Enjoyed a 2 night stay. Lovely warm welcome, room was spotless and had everything you require. Breakfast was excellent and all reasonably priced. Hosts go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your stay. Looking forward to a return visit.

Good food in a great atmosphere

If you haven't been here before...."shame on you".

Absolutely fabulous place to stay, great people, and especially useful if you're traveling on two wheels. Thoroughly recommend it.

This is the place if you are a biker

Service and accommodation and food , all of a very high standard, family are very welcoming and bikes were nice and safe 👍 👌 😊 definitely recommend

Perfect for a bike stop over. Plenty of banter with the owners. Secure bike, good food and beer.

Stayed here during a recent motorcycle tour of Scotland for two nights, SHAME ON ME for not staying here on previous tours! An ideal location and geared up for bikers with secure parking, air line, wash bay and cleaning and oil products to keep you topped up and on the road. Rooms were ideal and the food excellent, hearty with big portions. Staff couldn’t do enough to help us. Would 100% stop again.

Absolutely fantastic hotel, highly recommend. Second time staying here on a bike tour. Owner/staff are superb, can’t do enough for you and have on both occasions helped me resolve issues with my bike no questions asked, nothing being too much trouble. Great grub and beer and a nice bar/lounge to sit in after a long day on the bike. Rooms are good and the secure bike parking gives a lot of peace of mind. Will be going back for a third time without doubt.

Another fantastic 5 day stay for bike trips round Scotland, Dave, Polly, & Clint and all the other staff are great and nothing to much bother. Food fantastic with some new itams on the menu, and welcomed back like long lost friends.

Warm, clean, friendly and welcoming. Didn't try the menu (regretting that now) but breakfast was excellent

5 stars really isn’t enough for this place! I came to the Buccleuch after a couple of days of walking and wild camping and I have never been so well looked after in my life. The room was very clean and comfy and the building is lovely, but most of all the family running it are the kindest of people and went the extra mile to make sure I was comfortable and felt at home. Outstanding service to say the least. 10000% would recommend!

Lovely place and very helpful staff. Walking distance to all amenities. Would go back again.

Great hotel, the owner and his family are so friendly and helpful and willing to help. Having been before we recently visited for a one night stay just to get one of the many choices of breakfast.

Returned to the Buccleugh again this year. Previously stayed here but they were fully booked. Sat in the beer garden and had a drink before the meal. Great to see all the bikes parked up in front of the little green 'garages'. I was looking forward to ordering a Flaming Nacho Man Burger, but it wasn't on the Menu. Still we had a nice meal and couldn't manage a dessert. As always staff are very friendly. Sad to say there wasn't any draught Guinness.

Early supper on stopover on way to Highlands. Pretty basic menu but all cooked to order. Two waitresses run off their feet but still smiled through. Waited an age to pay bill.

Have been here few times & food has always been delicious with a great selection on the menu. Today (bank holiday Monday) the food was not quite as good as usual - chips slightly over cooked, prawns missing from swordfish & prawn noodles. However, still tasty & service was great. We will be back again & would recommend.

Arrived at 5.15pm where no one was in restaurant/bar for dinner. Expected to have fast service due to this. Very friendly waitress greeted us and initial warm welcome, sat at table to but then experienced very slow service for the rest of dinner. Ordered cheese whisky haggis mince pots for starter, very overpowering with pure Whisky within, we couldn’t finish. My kids had pizza, chips and chicken nuggets. All the same standard of oven food you would get from Tesco. Had to ask 3 times to get my daughter a glass of water, which arrived 15 minutes later. By then we had ran to our car to get her water bottle. My husband ordered Beef Burger and chips. Again this was the same standard as supermarket oven food. Will praise the curry for main course which was excellent but in all very disappointed with food quality, particularly kids menu, and service. Costs also overpriced for quality. They did apologise when paying as said service bad as place became get busy all at once. I don’t recommend.

Nice roast dinner has roast beef and some has gammon stack it was so nice with open fire and good for money as well worth going on a Sunday and having a roast dinner

Excellent lunch today of fresh tomato soup served with roll and butter - well cooked, clearly home made and full of flavour. Followed by haddock and prawns, with potatoes and asparagus, from the seasons menu. A great combination.The service was prompt, friendly and professional in a very comfortable environment.There is a good Wi-Fi service. Not to be missed when visiting the Moffat area!

Ate in the restaurant the three nights we stayed as the food was so good very friendly staff huge portions and very reasonable so full we were unable to try the sweets

Everything on the menu looked really promising. Two ordered the pork belly ribs and one the lamb shank. The ribs were pretty good and we loved the crumbled mushroom, chips and onion rings that accompanied them. The lamb shank was ok. At first it was served undercooked/cold in the center. After notifying the waitresses they apologized profusely and rectified with a fresh plate. Service was polite and quick. Decor is a little dated (not in the charming way).

What a find on the journey south from Paisley. Had an excellent family meal for a really reasonable price. Dog- friendly and excellent service from our waitress. Fish and chips with mushy peas was excellent. Beautifully cooked. Scampi was also great and the veggie burger was really very good. We would have loved puds but were too full! Will definitely give Beattock services a miss and head there next time. Highly recommended.

We had dinner here while we were staying in the hotel and it was wonderful! Lovely fresh cooked food. Make sure you bring an appetite because the portions are generous, and save room for dessert (or the Alpine Hot Chocolate which is the best hot choc I've ever had!). Staff are professional and friendly and the restaurant was nice and cosy with a log fire going.

Me and my partner both really enjoyed our mains and puddings, it was a horrible strormy night outside and when we came in to be seated, we were right next to the log fire which was amazing. I had the chickien burger and my boyfriend had the 12oz steak, we both really enjoyed them, both meals came with chips which were lovely as well, would definetly recommend. You also definetly get what you pay for as it tasted great and the portions sizes were very generous. As well as this the waitress who served us was equally as lovely and couldnt fault her, very polite and attentive. Dont usuaslly write a review on places but this was so good I felt I had to. We will definetly come back if we find ourselves in moffat again.

Such an extensive menu where you have to work hard to understand what's what is generally a bad sign. However, I liked the monthly specials menu with each chef's name against what they'd created. Service was warm and friendly, if perhaps a little slow at times, but they were quite busy. I had a steak, which was tasty and well cooked, but lacked real flavour. The hot smoked salmon salad was a bigger hit, and the sharing platter of starters was pretty nice, though was more or less what you'd pick up from a supermarket.

We always pay the Bucchleuch a visit whenever we are in moffat, salmon in smoked mussel gravy was tasty my husband wanted a burger without the bun not a problem, salad instead of chips, no problem. Rounded off with delicious home made tiramisu and cheesecake. Food is always good here but sometimes service can be a little slow.

We visited today having read a few positive reviews. The lady who served us was fairly pleasant and there was a good choice of food on the menu.

Quality and presentation were of a very high standard. Dishes were so well prepared - I thoroughly recommend the steak and the Bobote (South African dish).

We used the restaurant during a recent 3 night stay at the hotel. All of the food was of an excellent quality, freshly cooked to order. We can recommend the steak pie, vegetarian pie, Sunday roast and vegetarian burger.

Called in for an impromptu early dinner with 2 pooches and the wife.

We were looking for somewhere to go for lunch with our dog. Was told this was dog friendly and it really was. They were welcomed probably more than the humans. Food was great too. Good quality well presented food at reasonable prices. Definitely will be back.

Lovely meal great staff who made us and our dog very welcome it was our first visit to Midday and we will be back

Stopped here for lunch after completing the moffat classic car tour, good food though staff seemed a bit stand offish.

We stayed in the adjoining Buccleuch Arms Hotel on our way up to the Highlands of Scotland and decided to take our evening meal here.

Stopped in for an early dinner whilst staying at the camping and caravan site without booking in advance. Fortunately we were early enough as bookings later looked busy.

Had an ok dinner here midweek. Busy place, always a good sign. Had the flat iron steak with garlic butter - overpowering garlic I'm afraid. My wife had the herb crusted chicken a bit dry. Burgers for the rest of the family were ok. Good service and nice surroundings. Not expensive.

Visited whilst on holiday with the family. The staff were very accommodating and friendly. They gave children little white boards and pens to keep them entertained while waiting for food.

As we had our dog with us, we were resigned to sitting outside with pre-packed sandwiches....until we learned that we could eat in this lovely dog friendly restaurant. Warm welcome, tables well spaced out and excellent choice on the menu. I had scampi while my husband and son both had steak pie. All were obviously cooked fresh to order, arrived piping hot, great portion sizes and - most important of all - each dish tasted amazing. Will certainly return - especially as we thought it was really good value for money too.

Had a family meal here on bank holiday weekend. Lovely, freshly cooked food which we all enjoyed with good service and well priced.

Good choice of food, mix and match menu, fair prices, excellent service. Baked cheescake highly recommended

Booked for a 40th Anniversary Lunch based on the menu, with 8 people including 2 under 10s. We have an Autistic child and when I explained this when making the booking we were offered the Boardroom, which gave us a quiet, more personal room which was great for the Lunch.

The restaurant was recommended by our camp site & we are so glad they did! We visited on 28th March 2018 on a stopover night, we had the Buccleuch Earl Steak Pie & Beef Tub Hunters Pie served with fresh vegetables & both were delicious! My husband said it was the best pie he had ever had! Not only was the food fantastic but the service was excellent too, a special thank you to our waitress Sophie. We will definitely be back & wouldn't hesitate recommending to anyone.

Warm staff awesome hospitality quality food can’t fault this place 100% worth stopping here even for an hour a real gem in the country

We stayed in this pet friendly hotel with our two dogs and the staff could not have been more helpful efficient, and friendly.

Service was quick and friendly. Food was absolutely amazing. Looking forward to going back at some point and would definitely recommend.

The food was excellent. I requested medium rare steak and that is exactly what I got. cooked to perfection, great portion size, No novo cuisine carrot and splashed with lettuce juice.

Our party was made up of eight people and we all thought the service and food was excellent. One of our party does not have a big appetite and requested only a starter as a main meal, however unfortunately it arrived with the other three starters. That said we all thought the starters were great, especially the prawn twists. We had a variety of main meals and everyone enjoyed their meal. The larger portion of steak pie is a tasty challenge! Tried the flat iron steak for the first time and it was well cooked and enjoyable, I requested medium rare and the chef got it bang on for me. All in all a very pleasant experience.

We went in first of January and were pleasantly surprised by the festive touches. Staff were lovely and food was great. The build your burger I got was amazing. I usually avoid burgers as I find so many places are dry and not nice but this was the best I’ve ever had. There’s also so many delicious dishes on the menu it was hard to decide what to have.

We had our New year's day lunch for 10 people at 1pm having booked the table months in advance we were looking forward to our meal overall the starters were fine haggis bonbons went down well and the desserts were very nice, unfortunately the majority of us had the turkey dinner as our main and everyone was disappointed not really much flavour to the meal at all which was a shame.the cod and pork main went down well though.The service was adequate and the young waitress was very polite.

Had three days in Moffat and ate here twice, friendly staff, great menu choices and tasty quality food on offer. Loved the restaurant and service provided.

Great pub grub and helpful staff serves glutton free food so great for some bar gives the best vibe don't sit by door

Very warm place serving excllent foood. the service was very friendly and i experiment a burger doing on my own choice that the cheh has called "the burger of death" lol but it was excellent!

Brilliant service and food as always, First class steaks and excellent service . A winning combination

Called in for a drink after an evening walk, the staff were very friendly and the food looked lovely so we returned for an evening meal the next day we weren't disappointed and our two dogs were made welcome too. We would definately return.

Found after a recommendation by a previous Tripadvisor. Food excellent we had the herb crusted salmon. Mouthwateringly good. Sweets were quirky too! Loved the little attention to detail. Bar staff were very attentive and helpful

My mum and I ate here one evening whilst staying in Moffat. we had the arbroath smokie starter and both had the Barnsley chop for mains and a sticky toffee pudding and and the quartet of flavour bursts for dessert. The starter was nice with warm bread. The main course Barnsley chop was a bit disappointing. It came with chips and a grilled onion wedge The grilled onion wedge was bordering on raw onion. Even my mum struggled with it and she loves raw onion. The biggest disappointment was paying £1-80 each for an extra of mushy peas which was really only big enough for one person. we asked for mint sauce to have with the Lamb Barnsley chop and was shocked to find that this was classed as an extra (there were sachets of vinegar and sauces for free on the table). 50p each for a small pot of mint sauce to us was excessive and we thought it should have been served free with the lamb. my quartet of desserts was lovely and my mum enjoyed her sticky toffee pudding but it was served with a tiny jug of custard.If we come back to Moffat i don't think we would eat here again.

Ate here one evening when staying elsewhere in the area and the meal was great. We both ordered something from the "creations" menu which has some new things to try out and both meals were great. Staff very friendly and attentive. Recommended.

Steak and Ale pie and Scottish stovie are highly recommended. The prices are reasonable and the setting in a classic non frilly hotel dining room add to the nicety.

Called in for a drink whilst we were staying at Bridge House ,very friendly bar staff ideal if you have a dog with you made to feel welcome I noticed they were getting treat's and a sigh said they had garage parking for motorbikes handy to know.

Visited with a party of 6. A good choice of food with something for everyone on the menu. Vegans well catered for as are those who prefer more meaty options. Kids had fun building burgers and grown ups had genuinely interesting options - excellent rabbit pie. Side dishes also consist of more than just chips - which was a nice surprise.

Service with a smile, flat iron steak cooked to perfection, bleu, reasonably priced, quick device. The best place to eat in Moffat

A very warm welcome is given to your canine friends here. Our party of four had two dogs who received biscuits from the staff through the meal. A good selection for veggies and the vegan in our midst. It's a massive menu so something for everyone. It's not fine dining but it's tasty and the portions are large. Perfect after a long day of walking.

Just had a fabulous steak and ale pie ,best ever . Proper meat and so tender , great portions . My wife had Barnsley chop that too was brilliant

We visited Moffat and ate at the Beef Tub which is located in The Buccleuch Hotel, set in historic Moffat. Excellent menu, lots of choice and delicious. Something for everyone. Steaks, light bites, salads, build your own burger with amazing selections all freshly sourced. The Flat Iron steak was great and I loved my stir fry duck wrap and venison burger. The staff are friendly helpful and make you feel very welcome. We highly recommend and plan to return on our next trip to Scotland.

The service was good and the food matched, a great experience and I would recommend eating here to anyone visiting Moffat.

Visited the restaurant three nights whilst staying at their hotel.

Excellent variety, fresh and cooked to order. Tried the Bobita, traditional South African dish with seasoned mince beef- lovely. Thang you for a great meal

Came her for Sunday carvery lunch with the family - bad choice by us. Meal was dull, uninteresting food and not what we would call a carvery. Two thin slices of meat placed on our plate - also available sweetcorn, carrots, hard roast parsnips and overcooked roast potatoes all at a price of over £10. At home we can get a 2 course carvery meal for £13.95 consisting of a huge variety of meats, vegies and potatoes following by a stunning array of sweets - come again as often as you want to refill your plate. Perhaps chef could go on the web site of the Castletown Hotel and get an idea of what a proper carvery looks like. On booking I was told that it was only the carvery on offer on a Sunday but while there we noticed other diners being served baked potatoes, burgers etc so feel very let down having driven a long way to meet family for a special occasion - would have been better to go to a local chip shop and had a decent meal there. Will not be back and would not recommend eating here.

After a recommendation from a friend we went for lunch here.

Had a really nice build your own burger. Sevice was excellent and didnt have to wait too long for food. Staff really friendly. Highly recommended.

The baccleugh is an old coaching inn on Moffat high street. The food is excellent, especially the bobuti (spiced minced beef, topped with scrambled eggs, served with mango chutney), the steak pie, available in two sizes and the build a burger. Reasonably priced and wholesome fare. The staff are always welcoming and efficient and the twisted thistle IPA is a winner. Fab beer garden at the rear.

We are staying at the Buccleugh Arms Hotel with Heidi (the dog). She was most welcome in the bar and she sat quietly whilst we ate our tasty meal. The highlights were the homemade mushroom soup and the stark and ale pie ( which comes in two sizes " earl" and "duke". Earl is big enough for most appetites and was full of tender beef.

Stopped here tonight on the way back from doing the NC500. Food was amazing , full of flavour. Staff were very friendly and offered recommendations. Decided to treat myself to a dessert with it being my birthday - very nice . Will defo be calling here again on our next journey to Scotland .

We popped in for lunch and we were pleasantly surprised with the choices as there was plenty to choose from, also a good choice of vegetarian options. We chose a homemade venison burger with jalapenos and chips and also the vegetarian Bobotie and we were not disappointed, both were very delicious.

The welcome was warm despite the Scottish summer (!) and we relished every mouthful of our lunches. The berry sundaes were magnificent.

The Beef Tub Grill was our dinner stop in Moffat as we we traveled to Yorkshire. My lamb chop dinner was nice. The only problem with our meal was that a large group was coming in to dinner after us. They were loud which made our dinner uncomfortable. That's not the problem of the restaurant, but the fact that we sort of got forgotten was. Nobody checked on us and we had to shove through the crowd to pay. I know that the big party pays the bills, but if you are going to serve us do it or tell us you can't. Food was good enough that I'd try again, but avoid nights with large groups.

Our classic Italian motorcycling group has stayed at the Buccleuch on several occasions in the past and have got to know the staff and management well. The place gets better each time, and you will be hard pressed to find a more friendly and comfortable venue. The food is terrific and they manage to cope very well indeed with our large groups. They have plenty of parking at the back of the hotel and they even provide small sheds and bike washing facilities (being bikers themselves they know exactly what visiting bikers need). The surrounding countryside is beautiful and worth exploring, whether on foot or by road. A really great hotel !

We weren't entirely sure about the Beef Tub Comfort Grill when we first saw it - but first impressions were entirely wrong.

We have been here twice now during this year and both times enjoyed a good meal. Extensive menu and wine list catering well for those with gluten free requirements. A steak & ale pie to die for! (Not GF!)

After a pleasant motorbike run from Falkirk to Moffat, we had lunch at the Beeftub restaurant within the Buccleuch Hotel, DG10 9ET, the staff are very friendly & efficient, the choice from the reasonably priced menu was comprehensive, I had the roast beef panini & the homemade pea and ham soup very tasty my mate had the chicken burger with chips & salad also excellent. The hotel is very biker friendly and is well worth a visit there are many vintage photos of the area on the walls, I whole heartedly recommend a visit, 5 stars all round,

Good food, great staff. reasonably priced high quality "pub Grub". The restaurant was busy but service prompt and efficient.

Excellent food, well served, no complaints at all . 14 of us sat down and even though we had ordered what we wanted in advance, it all went like clockwork.

We had a nice meal taking advantage of the build your own burger menu. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

Excellent again. staff all great. rooms are little tired. food excellent . Lots of advice on where to go what to see .& best of all no super markets all interesting independent shops even a proper hardware shop.

Very friendly staff, made you really welcome. Lovely atmosphere and the food is great. Would recommend this place without hesitation. Have visited a number of times and have had great service each time. See you again soon!!!

Very dog friendly hostelry. Barman asked us if the dogs could have a biscuit before taking said biscuits out of his pocket! He accepted that the dogs had to wait until we had eaten. Food and service very good.

Visited here for the second time, cosy bar, great food. The burgers here are fab, you can have single, double or even triple burgers which you can mix and match a large variety of burgers and extras. Also worth a try is the bobuti, spiced minced beef topped with scrambled egg! Very tasty! Reasonably priced, especially if you are staying at the camping and caravanning club site just around the corner, if you show your membership card you get 10% off the food bill! A right result!!!

Had dinner here with friends over the weekend. The food was perfectly acceptable but nothing special. Sticky toffee pudding was very dry. Staff were friendly and dogs are welcome in the bar area.

Visited the restaurant on the way from Edinburgh to Lake District. The food was very good and the environment was pleasant, with friendly and nice staff.

It`s very hard to remain objective as we now are dear friends of the owners however this fact underlines the philosophy of the family who runs it.

Great varied menu with some traditional Scottish dishes. Food was fabulous and friendly service. Desserts really good including cheese board. Would highly recommend this restaurant.

Drove down from Glasgow which took around and hour. Welcomed with open fire and pleasant surrounding in the lovely town of Moffat. Fab meal with a variety of great steak on the menu. They also welcome bikers ( well behaved of course ) and have garage and facilities if you are staying in the hotel for your bike .

We ate in the dog-friendly bar area, across the hall from the restaurant area, and enjoyed a relaxed meal in a restful environment. Serving food from 10am to 10pm, the menu had plenty veggie and gluten free choices (never looked at all menus from other providers but Buccleuch Arms clearly stated it on their menus outside). The food was tasty and good to very good value for money. The service was faultless and friendly. Try the Twisted Thistle ale if you are so inclined.

Stopped here while driving through Moffat for the Dave's Carvery. The quality of service from the waiter was fantastic. The food was amazing, extremely generous portion sizes and a very friendly chef! Highly recommended! Thank you!!

Mum and I stopped here for lunch on our way home to Stirling from a weeks break in Sandyhills, Dumfries & Galloway. We chose it because of the gluten free choices on the menu as my mum has coeliacs disease and we were very impressed by the choices available including sandwiches, toasties, burgers and even a savoury tart. Not forgetting a very good selection of main meals and desserts. We both had the pulled pork burger. Very tasty and plenty of chips. We then had coffees inclusive of GF biscuits for mum! Don't get that in many places. Special mention to our lovely waitress Sophie who was very helpful and attentive without being intrusive. She put another log on the fire for us and asked us if the music as too loud (it wasn't). Thank you Sophie and we hope your mum manages to try the new GF hobnobs

The service was amazing, giving our family a private room made the experience even better for us, the food was delicious and with real portions to!!
