The Cressfield Hotel in Dumfries & Galloway

We booked this Hotel for the visit to the Lockerbie memorial garden and from the moment we arrived we were made so welcome and could not do enough for us. The Room was amazing and the view so picturesque, The whole hotel is spotless and our room was so clean and so comfortable we had the best nights sleep in a very long time. The bar is so friendly and everyone so welcoming. The Dining area is first class and the food (Evening and Breakfast Meals) were exceptional and high Quality, all the staff cannot do enough for you and so friendly. We have stayed in plenty 5 star hotels and none compared to this little Gem. We go as far as saying this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in so far. How this is only a 3 star I will never know. We will definitely be booking here again…. Thank-you to all staff…

Stayed 1 night on our way from the highlands. Room nice and clean with everything you need. Dinner was superb and good value. Nice dining room features also. Pleasant staff.

Cressfield was the venue for my dad's funeral tea last month. Nigel & the team put on a lovely buffet with lots of different choices for people attending, everyone was well fed & i heard lots of nice comments from family & friends too. The team were welcoming & nothing was any bother.

What a find! On a long drive Suffolk to Scotland - hours of traffic on a hot sunny day - M74 mind numbing - mid afternoon - weary - looked for services to rest for half an hour - couldn't see any sign - stopped off at Ecclefechan on the off chance. The world stood still in this quiet, quaint village - no strident noises - no lorries - gentle birdsong, pretty Spring gardens - no sign of café - pub shut - discovered the Cressfield Hotel at the South end of the village - AN OASIS OF CALM. A warm reception from the barman (a pleasant and enthusiastic County Tyrone lad) - generous (3 cups full) pot of tea for £1.80 - a quiet, comfortable window seat overlooking a well maintained garden - everything spotless - all just half a mile from the throbbing motorway. What a find!

What a little gem of a place. We were not residents but the host made us most welcome and we had a superb meal served in a nice bar with plenty of atmosphere. Great food , good beer and great meal portions. Excellent value for money.

Beautiful food. Atmosphere perfect and staff couldn't do enough for us. Good value for money and more than enough to eat☺️

My sister and I have just spent two night at this freindly hotel. Both are rooms where of a high standard and excellent value. Nigel is a wonderful host the food is outstanding both evenings meal and Breakfast exclent quality ingredients.

A very comfortable and welcoming hotel Ideal location by the A74M - just over the border from England A popular bar and restaurant which are well supported by locals add to the ambiance Great evening meal and a fantastic breakfast!

Just across the border into Scotland and just off the M74 Comfortable rooms with great breakfast included Free parking Quiet rural location Hotel bar serves evening meals too Highly recommended

Excellent hotel, warm and hospitable staff, great beer and delicious Scottish breakfast, loved the haggis 😃😃

Good value overnight accommodation just a stone’s throw from the M74 so an ideal stop en route south. Clean, excellent shower - good food, friendly staff - all we needed. Would definitely recommend to friends and family travelling north/south.

The best Sunday lunch I have ever eaten, rump was cooked perfectly and a deliciously tasty gravy served with 4 veg, roast and mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding 😋

Cressfield Hotel holds lots of happy childhood memories for my family so we decided to celebrate my mums 75th birthday today with Sunday Lunch there. It was absolutely delicious!!!! Best meal we’ve had out in a long time. 10/10 from all of us.

A Great Hotel…..we stayed just one night but our experience was great. Friendly staff….well appointed clean room good size shower bathroom.. Restaurant was great…good fresh cook to order suppers.. great wine to. There’s also a good size bar.. location is great just a couple minutes off the motorway and just a couple minutes to get back on the motorway….plus you’d never no you where near a motorway…the hotel is in a quiet place…with plenty of parking.. we would recommend the Cressfield Hotel…pleased we found it.

We had a friendly welcome on arrival and picket up our key. We booked directly on the hotel website and got a much better price than with a third party site. The room and en-suite were lovely. The room itself was very large. We have a young child so he was very happy! Breakfast was great. They do gluten free toast and the eggs were lovely. They were so kind and understanding at breakfast too. It’s just off the motorway so we’d definitely stay again.

We stayed at the Cressfield for 3 nights all food and accommodation was second to none the breakfast was the best I have had anywhere and Nigel and all his staff went out of there way to make our stay pleasurable.

We decided to try an independent hotel instead of our usual premier inn or similar for one night to break our long trip south from the far north of Scotland to Yorkshire and had some good points and some not so good. On arrival we liked the look of the place and our room was large at the front overlooking the gardens. The en-suite bathroom was a little dark having no window and only a bath with shower above, better really to lose the bath and have a good size walk in shower. We booked a table for dinner for 8.15 and had a drink in the bar then went through to the dining room to order dinner, the first thing we noticed in the dining room was Radio 2 being played quite loud news and all, not really good for setting a nice ambiance for dinner. We had our dinner all served quickly, I ordered a bottle of red wine which was brought to the table and unceremoniously plonked down on the table in front of me unopened! Maybe in a cafe at cafe prices this would be ok but not in a dining room at dinner charging restaurant prices ? We noticed all during our meal the tables around us were being laid up for breakfast. We had finished our meal by 9.25 and were enjoying the rest of the wine and chatting when we were ordered rather than requested to leave the dining room and take our remaining drink to the bar. We got up and went to our room rather annoyed. I have never bern kicked out of a Premier Inn restaurant after just over an hour so next time it’s back to our usual chain hotel stays. It’s a pity because with more attention and staff training it would have been a nice stay.

We stayed overnight, B&B and also enjoyed dinner in the restaurant. For the price, the room was excellent. Dinner was great quality and tasty, and a good price and the cooked breakfast was just really good. Other parts of breakfast were not so stand out, but were really good for the price. Would really recommend if you're looking for somewhere to stay handy for the motorway. Staff were really friendly too! Thank you!

Excellent hotel, clean, quiet, lots of parking, close to M74, superb food. Room was large, clean, comfy bed & good shower. Wi-Fi & mobile signal perfect.

We had a meal for a group of 12 people and the food was perfect, 10/10. All the food was delicious and everyone enjoyed the meal. Would recommend this place to go for meal with family and friends. Great service.

Staff are fantastic and helpfull. Accommodation great clean spacs I would highly recommend this place

A nice hotel which is very well located for the A74 Comfortable rooms Great restaurant with a good range of reasonably priced options Staff very helpful and welcoming

Delighted to make this review the 100th 5 star review!! Stayed here for 2 nights with our dog in a delightfully large bedroom which had direct access to outside which made life easier for sneaking out with the 4 legged pal. Lovely decor, fantastic views from the dining room windows, very friendly staff (and a very quick witted and entertaining owner) and tasty breakfast. Ate in the bar one evening and the portions were substantial and piping hot and yum! Definitely would be delighted to stay again there if we find ourselves up that way again. Oh, and forgot to say, we found it exceptionally good value for the size of the room and the room facilities.

A wedding party of 17 people including 5 children were accommodated at Cressfields and the wedding reception was held in the hotel. The food was absolutely excellent and the service was first class. The whole event was fantastic. Nothing was too much trouble . The rooms were large, clean and comfortable.

Me and my husband stayed here for one night while attending a wedding at another nearby hotel. When pulling up to Cressfield I was unsure what it was going to be like there was no other cars apart from one on the carpark and looked...

Lovely food and excellent service by friendly staff, both at dinner and breakfast, the dinner was of a high standard for the price we paid, obviously fresh v egetables served.

It's a comfortable hotel and we had a good nights sleep but parts of our dinner were very disappointing. The menu on the hotel website is completely different to the one we were given-they should be the same. (the 'menu' was an old creased sheet...

10 of us stayed here in May 2022 for one night. The hotel does not look exceptional from the outside but that all changes when you walk through the doors. Nigel and staff do anything they can to make you welcome. These people love their...

Beautiful room, plenty of hot water for the bath, room was nice quiet and dark. Lovely meal with excellent service. Peaceful breakfast, highly recommend a stay here.

Wow, credit to the chefs. The food was superb. We booked for dinner after a quick search on trip advisor and this place did not disappoint. Welcomed by friendly staff. The bar area was spotless and had a relaxed atmosphere, so much so we decided...

Stayed twice after visiting Scotland.Good Covid protocol adhered to by all staff and guests.Two excellent evening meals, well priced,and service very good.Stayed in two different rooms both with good facilities and comfy bed. What really makes the hotel is the own Nigel, he goes out...

Best meal out in a long time... Food was delicious, service was great, Could not fault a thing!!! ☺️

We had a one night stopover on our return from Scotland. The hotel has good covid protocols and the room was a good size. The evening meal was very reasonably priced and was very tasty. A cooked breakfast was provided. The price for the room...

Evening meal in the restaurant - food was really good - really high standard - exceeded our expectations. All dishes were well cooked nicely presented and tasted good. Wine is very reasonably priced, Decor is also very nice, someone went to a lot of effort...

Easily accessible from the motorway this is an excellent location for visiting the southwest of Scotland. Very comfortable accommodation, friendly atmosphere and the dog can stay too. Food presentation is a work of art and it tastes very good too. I'd give it ten stars...

Evening meal only but what a lovely meal it was. Very tasty steak for me whilst Mrs Evening meal enjoyed a lovely duck without a grouse and a lovely wine without a whine. All in all a lovely evening with lovely company (me n her)...

The rooms are lovely, the staff are fantastic. The food is wonderful and reasonable for such a class hotel...I give it 10 out of 10.

Stayed here twice during June at the start and end of our holiday to the Highlands just to break up the long journeys. Stayed on a Friday and Saturday. Hotel is easy to find just off the motorway.Easy parking right outside the front door. Staff...

Comfortable. Very pleasant staff. Delicious food. Two of us ordered the black pudding stack as a starter which was delicious followed by perfectly cooked sirloin steak which they brought to us to show before it was cooked. Fault less cooking.

We had booked initially for a place to meet with family as it was mid-point between us and Glasgow.We arrived early on Friday evening and were greeted by friendly staff and shown immediately to our table in the restaurant.Service was good, menu choice was good and the food was reasonable.as the weekend involved exchange of children and a weekend away we elected to reconvene at the same place for Sunday lunch.We weren't disappointed. If you're travelling on the A74(M) then I would recommend a small detour for some decent food.

We planned a treasure hunt for 12 people with this hotel the final destination. Nigel the proprietor and all the staff were very helpful in making all the arrangements for the weekend and taking care of us whilst we were there. The breakfast and dinner were excellent, as was the service. The rooms were modern, comfortable and spacious. We had stayed a night back in April and the service was excellent then as well. I would certainly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there in the future.

We enjoyed two nights at the hotel during May 2019. The room was fantastic and had a lovely view over the gardens. It had a large comfy bed and all the facilities to make a comfortable stay. We were only planning on staying one night but extended it to two as we enjoyed it. We ate in the hotel and the food was very nice. We had a lovely stay and would return. Thanks

Stayed last weekend with friends as we were attending a other friend’s daughters wedding nearby. Met the great host /owner Nigel. We had a lovely room and nothing a problem for Nigel. Breakfast was fabulous and set us up for the day. The bar looked busy when we came back after the wedding and after a wonderful sleep left this idilic hotel. So if you want a break driving north or indeed south I can highly recommend this lovely hotel. The taxi driver who took us to the wedding venue and who picked up most guests at various other hotels said “you have knocked it off staying at Cressfield,it’s the best in the area “ who am I to argue with him.

Visited Cressfield again. My partner had the steak and I had the lamb special. I can honestly say that the lamb special exceeded all expectations. The flavours complemented and augmented the lamb beautifully. I think this was one if the tastiest lamb dishes I have had. The steak my partner had never fails to impress. These main courses along with the super starters and desserts make The Cressfield Hotel a worthy destination. The accommodation is also lovely and throughout the hotel the staff are welcoming and strive to please. The atmosphere is informal but retains the elegance of the beautiful building. The owner is attentive without being intrusive and engenders similar attributes within his staff. I thoroughly recommend The Cressfield Hotel to anyone who values good food and service.

Have stayed at the Cressfield several times while visiting friends in Ecclefechan. Lovely hotel in a picturesque setting, excellent breakfast with a good choice , the owner Nigel is friendly and makes you feel at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be returning.

Just moved into the area and decided to try here when friends came to visit, the staff are so friendly and helpful, good choice of drinks and the menu is excellent and reasonable, have been back a few times since and gets better

The room was beautiful, fresh and clean and very comfortable. Very welcoming and food excellent peaceful and easily accessible location with lovely grounds .

We stayed for one night only as we were heading back south but we were pleased to choose this hotel. The room was comfortable, the staff friendly and the service and food was excellent. Special mention for Ian who welcomed us, worked behind the bar and served our food in the evening: a very relaxed host and he had us in stitches.

Visited the restaurant on the recommendation of a friend. He was not wrong. Interesting menu and well cooked, tasty food. Good portions too. Recommended. Well worth a visit.

Fantastic room. Great staff. Nigel the Manager extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming. The evening meal was the best we had in a long time. Great night sleep to help us keep pedalling to John O Groats. Definitely go again

Rooms clean, public areas clean, friendly staff... what more do you need?

Stayed overnight on way up to Inverness. We have used this venue once before due to its location close to the A74. As previously we were welcomed by mine host Nigel, who showed us to our room on the ground floor. It was huge, with a sitting area and comfortable bed, a bijou bathroom, and full snack making facilities, with a door direct to the car park.

Had the dish of the day. Home made mushroom soup and the best lamb I have eaten for a long time. Beautiful restaurant or eat in the bar area. Highly recommended..

Recently had a 4 night midweek stay at this lovely hotel just of the M74.

We were met by Ian, who we first met at the hotel 7 months ago and he is still as polite and helpful now as he was then.

I found this online by chance for work and was so pleasantly surprised. The food I can honestly say is the best I’ve experienced in a long time and the service from Ian my waiter was exceptional!

Have used the Cressfield many times now comfortable rooms, good service and a great little bar Unpretentious good food served well and just minutes off the motorway without the noise Thank you

Eight of us stayed here for 3 nights in one of the Hotels on site cottages, Ian & Nigel could not have been more helpful or made us feel more welcome from booking to departure, nothing was to much trouble. The accomadation worked perfectly for us, your own space but with the Hotels facilities is genius. We were greeted to breakfast each day with a jolly welcoming smile from Ian. Our many meals with them were fantastic, our party is well known for being difficult with menus ie changing everthing on it or one item cooked differently from each dish, they were always willing & accomadated all requests (no matter how difficult). The Ecclefechan Tart is a must, anyone passing through would be mad not to stop by.

I stayed for 8 nights over a 3 week period with work, and was pleasantly surprised by the hotel.

We went to Ecclefechan for the day to hunt down a tart. (Ecclefechan tart ) and on our journey we found the Cressfield Hotel so we went in for lunch. It was a delight we ended up just having a light lunch and a beer for two of us with the third having a tea. The food was all made fresh, the staff didn't hover around us, they served us and got on with their day and we felt comfortable. It was so nice to just enjoy the surroundings and the food in peace. Well worth the visit. Thanks

Stayed here for one night on a walking holiday travelling from Scafell Pike to Ben Nevis.

Stayed here for one night to attend a party ,lovely welcome nice single room ,comfy bed. The breakfast was lovely with a good choice on menu,would stay here again .

Pasamos dos noches en el bar mientras en una escapada de caravan localmente. Tengo que decir que el personal no podía hacer lo suficiente para nosotros. Nos tomamos unas copas en la noche del viernes. Sábado tuvimos una comida para mi cumpleaños y aunque no había una gran fiesta en la sala de actos los entrantes llegaron con en 5 minutos y una vez que terminaba la principales siguieron en rápidamente. Nota breve para la dirección por favor reward Ian que trabajaba el bar las dos noches. Me he alojado en muchos hoteles y lugar diferente, pero nunca hemos recibido como servicio.

Nos alojamos cuatro noches en el hotel, en las habitaciones 4 y 5. Ambas habitaciones eran muy bonitas. Habitación 4 tenía un corto así la pava pava flex tuvo que ir en el piso y yo en mi nuestros refrescos manos y rodillas! El personal era genial. Nigel y Iain nos cuidaron muy bien. La comida (desayunos y cenas) era excelente, a excepción del pollo salteado que era demasiado salado y especiado y para mi gusto. Muy recomendado.

Hotel encantador. El personal era fantástico y la comida era increíble. Encantadora joya poco escondido donde podrá sentarse y disfrutar de una cerveza en el sol

Went with family Sunday dinner not planned. We ate in bar which initially was quiet but full in a short space of time which speaks for itself in my eyes. I had the 2 course Sunday special and chose turkey roast followed by cake with a delicious sauce. Main meal I gave my husband a bit to finish for me as it was beautiful but I was trying to make room for desert. Full Xmas type turkey roast well presented and piping hot. No complaints but if I had one suggestion some cranberry sauce would have been lovely, we did ask but none available. Will definitely be back and would highly recommend .

A welcoming Hotel with friendly and attentive staff. A varied menu although not overly extensive, reasonably priced. Well presented food. Excellent value for money.

Arrived last minute and they accomodated us, food was really nice and freindly people. Whiskey was also good

We were on a trip to the north of Scotland and needed a one night stop-over and chose the Cressfield. It was a gear idea. The hotel is just off the motorway in the charming and quiet village of Ecclefechan. The staff were extremely accommodating and our room was large and well prepared. There was a well stocked and friendly bar and although there is a restaurant the menu there and in the bar was the same so we chose to eat in the bar. The food was very tasty that night and we had a hearty breakfast next morning. It was a very pleasant experience at a very reasonable price. We would do it again on a trip up north.

Spur of the moment the wife and I felt like a treat so we visited our local favourite place, and we were not let down. Ian with his usual friendly smile and greeting. Food was lovely. Always worth a visit.

I had a very nice stay at this very nice and simple hotel. You are in the middle of the nature. I felt the hotel very romantic where you well welcome.It's simple, no pretentious but I really loved it.

A warm welcome from a young man who carried our bags to our room. Everything was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The owner served a good, hearty breakfast and was very pleasant and sociable. Next time we travel north again I would definitely stay here again. Good value for money!

Absolutely appalled, took grandparents for lunch, restaurant came recommended, however we were unable to try this as there are several steep steps into the hotel which looked lovely but NO disabled access!!!!!

Almost Every weekend we manage to dine somewhere. So we have sampled many places. The Cressfield truly is a great place for food. Bar Lunches/Suppers. Or opt for the Restaurant. They have the right balance. Good PricesExcellent FoodGood Service. Perfect. You would be crazy not to try it.

Stayed at Cressfield caravan park the Hotel is next door and we went there for evening meal. Food was gorgeous staff were wonderful and the prices were very reasonable.

First time I stayed in this hotel. Had a very big room with lot of space. The bathroom is a bit dark, more light would have helped, but also very big.Meals in the hotel are delicious and you can enjoy a drink or two at the bar as well.House dog is quite big but very peaceful.Enjoyed our stay.

We stayed here recently for the second time while visiting family in the area. We had a king size double room which was comfortable, clean and with a sizeable en suite bathroom. My only problem with the room was that the bathroom was quite dark, and a couple of hooks (beside the sink or on the back of the door) would have been nice. Wifi works relatively well. The breakfast is freshly cooked to order as is the food in the bar/restaurant. The staff were, all friendly, helpful and, on the whole, efficient. The young man who was "on duty" over the weekend should perhaps try less hard and write more things down.

Visited this hotel on several occasions ... beautiful surroundings and beautiful food.. the steak pie and garlic mushrooms are to die for.. service is friendly and fast.

Staying locally to renew our vows at Gretna Green, booked this advance after seeing reviews. As a Monday restuarant was empty, but service was friendly and attentive for our table. Selection of food not vast but thought that was good. Would recommend.

We stayed at Cressfield country house hotel for 2 nights with our 5 year old son. The staff are wonderful and could not be more accommodating. We had a lovely relaxing stay, enjoying dinner and breakfast at the country house for both days. The food was lovely. We are so happy we stayed at Cressfield country house hotel not just because of the staff, food and relaxing atmosphere but also because of its convenient location. Thumbs up to Cressfield Country House Hotel

Simply love this hotel! Always look forward to a night or two stop-over on our way further north and we are never disappointed. The welcome is genuine, staff and locals friendly, spotlessly clean, good food, comfortable beds. As soon as we enter the building we relax, a weight seems to lift off our shoulders. We want to go back and hopefully we will.

fabulous hotel with amazing food...stayed here on the way to Gairloch...small comfortable room and quiet...the staff very friendly and incredibly helpful and the food oh wow..pil pil starter very tasty stuffed cod scrumptious assisted to the stomach with a lovely bottle of New Zealand sauvignon blanc...

Excellent evening meal, menu the same for bar or restaurant. On way south after a fortnights touring and this was the best meal by far! Out of the mouth of 16year old grandson! A definite accolade! Thank you

We stayed here overnight on our way down South. We had room 11 which was down stairs from the dining room. It was a great wee room with everything you need for an overnight stay. The bed was really comfy and we slept well. Our only wee critisism would be that the curtains could do with blackout blinds as the existing curtains let in a LOT of light so may put some people off their sleep. The shower was cosy and the towels were big and fluffy.We had a bar meal and it was delicious, the rice pudding was especially good and not something you see on every menu. The chicken was delicious and we both enjoyed our meals very much. The breakfast was also first class and set us up nice;ly for the day.Staff are all very friendly and couldnt do enough to make us feel welcome.We will definately be back on our next trip down South!

My husband and I recently stayed for a friend's wedding and I have to say this place will be hard to beat. This has a lovely country manor style with a very homely friendly feel. We stayed 2 nights, we ate a bar meal on the 1st night, very well presented and could not fault the food and then attended the wedding the next day, again the food was excellent and beautifully presented. We actually live quite local and was staying because of the wedding but would absolutely come back again for a meal. I have to give the biggest credit to Nigel and his staff, it has been a while since I have been somewhere that the staff are as good as these were, nothing was too much trouble, very polite and very attentive but also with a great sense of humour so we were able to have a bit of a joke and banter with them. This hotel is set in grounds with stunning views and although our room looked as if it may be one of the older style rooms it was perfectly adequate and done the job. We ate breakfast both mornings and again no complaints and plenty of variety.To be honest I don't think there is anything I can criticise about this place, it's a little hidden gem. Nigel and staff just keep doing what you are already doing as you do a fantastic job.

The cressfield...what can I say? Other than WOW !!!!! ❤ We were given a weekend break here as an early wedding present from family members that live there in ecclefechan, we had an AMZING EXPERIENCE. Everyone is so welcoming. As soon as we checked in the locals were treating us as family! Nigel the owner was a fantastic host, nothing was too much trouble and he was there making sure we had a a fabulous time. (Which we did) We were treated to room 4 and it was absolutely gorgeous! Spotless and gleaming! The views were overlooking the mountain and were spectacular...the bathroom was to die for. Beautiful big bath and shower The bed was out of this world! Soo comfortable...you really have to experience it for yourself to even be able to imagine the luxury that we had felt..did not want leave. This hotel was so homely and just perfect. We had breakfast included in our stay and myself and fiancé both opted for the Full Scottish Breakfast.... (Never had tried hagis before) It was stunning!! Perfectly cooked egg's..everything was faultless and fresh! We had a bar meal on the Saturday evening and wow that too was perfect! It was the burger and chip's. The burger itself was mouth watering and cooked just to how we liked it. Ian the young boy behind the bar along with Nigel were so polite and helpful at all time's...I cannot wait to go back after our wedding to enjoy another break with amazing friendly loving people! We were spoilt for everything here. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for families, couples, singles, everyone!! Made some fantastic memories and friends... AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!!!!

lovely steak for 3. sat in an empty room so we could have a gossip. starters were lovely followed by a great steak of a good portion! service was on form. only thing was the noise while eating which had been explained by the waitress that we'd been locked in and they had to do something to the door.

We stayed overnight at the cressfield hotel in April 2016. We had breakfast and dinner there and the food was excellent. Our room was number 9 on the top floor and had been recently decorated with new shower room and furnishings.it was very clean and the bed very comfortable. The staff made us feel very welcome and we will definitely be recommending the hotel to our friends and family, hopefully we will return there in the future.

Had a fantastic meal here during our honeymoon stay in the village.What a wonderful hotel. Staff were all friendly and efficient the food was excellent the lamb chops were cooked to perfection the haggis and black pudding starter was really tasty. Would highly recommend this hotel for a tasty meal or bar snack

Myself and my Mother travelled to ecclefechan last night from Newton Stewart for a family surprise Birthday party. The Cressfield Hotel had been recommended to us by the person organising the party. It is without a doubt a beautiful , well decorated hotel in very nice and very peaceful grounds. The room we were in was a twin room and it was beautiful spacious and immaculately clean. The staff were all very friendly, welcoming and helpful. we had both our evening meal and our breakfast in their restaurant and the food was first class. we both had a really lovely stuffed cod loin dish which really was out of this world and breakfast was very good to. would very much recommend this Hotel to anyone passing through ecclefechan.

We have stopped here several times over the years whilst on our travels. As well as being a hotel, The Cressfield has an excellent bar meal menu and full restaurant facilities. The food is very good and the service always friendly. Situated just off the M74 motorway between junctions 20 and 19, the hotel provides an opportunity to take a break from driving without the hustle and bustle of the usual motorway services.

We arrived at the hotel and the young man behind the bar gave us a nice welcome and was very helpful, we got our drinks then the waitress gave us the menu, she gave us ample time to decide what we would like we were then shown to our table and the waitress was very pleasant even though she was the only one serving with a little help from the bar man.The food was very good with a nice variety on the menu.Would recommend

We returned to the cressfield hotel and had a lovely stay again, the staff were very nice and the newly renovated room was very nice! - Looking forward to our next visit, it's in a great location if your traveling north or south!*to hotel owner though, did you know this is listed as just a restaurant on tripadvisor rather than a hotel?, might be worth while to list as a hotel too so others can find this wonderful hotel.

We stayed for a most pleasant three nights and, whenever we return to the Scottish Borders, shall make a beeline for the Cressfield, which is located at the southern end of the village. Nigel and his staff demonstrate the right blend of hospitality, efficiency and friendliness; the meals we had were delicious, the bedroom comfortable and quietly conducive to a good night's sleep.

Good value, good quality food with friendly service. Went there 3 nights and had a good variety. Lovely log fire if eating in bar opr use their dining room.

I go with my friend for a meal in the evening. The staff are lovely and the food is excellent. I recommend the ribeye steak they cook it exactly as you like it. Going in December for a Christmas meal and am looking forward to it.

We decided to celebrate our wedding anniversary with a nice meal in this hotel.A country house hotel that is just that and not pretending to be something it's not. As soon as you enter the building you feel the warm atmosphere surrounding you with the sound of happy customers coming from the lounge bar on your left and the Dining Room on your right. A young waitress approached us right away and quickly showed us to a table. Ian the hotel manager arrived immediately to offer us the menus and took our drinks order, his attentiveness and courtesy was unbelievable as indeed was the service we received from the two young waitresses. The food arrived quickly and was throughly enjoyed by both my wife and myself with the ever attentive staff answering effortlessly to our every whim. Indeed you could often hear the phrase ' no problem' being emitted to the requests of the other diners.All in all this is a lovely country house hotel with food to match and service to be proud off. We would have no hesitation in dining here again and can only look forward to our next visit.

Had dinner here on Friday and really enjoyed it. Good food and attentive service. Will definitely be back.

A real find. Stopped for lunch on our way down to Lytham St. Anne's for the weekend. As the weekend was a birthday treat for my dad, I wanted to find somewhere a bit traditional. Had a lovely lunch, dad had chicken stuffed with applewood smoked cheddar, with smoked bacon in a mushroom sauce and fondant potatoes, which he polished off, my boyfriend had lentil soup and steak pie, and thoroughly enjoyed both, and I went for the potato and spinach curry, which was lovely and spicy. The food was good value for money, and the hotel was very welcoming and spotlessly clean. But very quiet, sadly, because they deserve to do plenty of business. Lovely, trim grounds and seeming to be off the beaten track while in reality a stone's throw from the motorway. Well worth a visit.

My wife and I stayed here for a couple of nights and tries the restaurant on our last night. We were not disappointed. A fantastic 3 course meal of Soup, Steak and Sticky Toffee Pudding.All fresh using local produce and cooked really well. Steak was really tasty, although would be nice to have the option of a Fillet too. Sticky Toffee Pudding was quite a big portion (that's not a complaint!) moist and just simply fantastic. All for a very reasonable £56 including 2 rounds of drinks. Staff were superb, so sincere and nothing was problem. Best service I have had in a restaurant. Now we know when going south we can great food at an even better price. Urge you all to not think twice if going by and try it out, you won't be dissapointed
