The Crown Hotel in Dumfries & Galloway

I went on opening night with high hopes. The waitress who served us had been hired a few hours before, on the day of opening. The iPads used to take orders all crashed when the WiFi went down. So orders had to be retaken but there was no paper for the waiters and waitresses to write on. So we waited almost 30 minutes for food. The Thai curry I ordered came at the exact same time as our starters. The fact it was tepid when I finally started eating it mattered less because it was so over salty I could not eat it. My starter was quite nice. We had to share with our waitress the fact the bathrooms were overflowing with paper towel waste as they had forgotten to put waste bins in the loos. All in all it was not a great night out. Lockerbie needs a decent restaurant so we will give it another go and hope they have improved. If they don’t listen and learn though people might vote with their feet.

We were worried as we booked late, had a dog and needed something quick! They couldn’t have given us a warmer welcome. Dog friendly, clean and warm!

The place used to be brilliant, laid back, relaxed and most importantly good fun, but now with these new owners it’s strict and lifeless, forcing bar staff to close early and making customers feel unwanted. Food is absolutely horrendous, pints are hit or miss and the place is in desperate need of painting and decor, but instead of doing that they keep the place exactly the same? At least with previous owners the state of the pub wasn’t an issue as they welcomed you in. Whilst on the subject of upkeep, the males toilets could easily be one of the least sanitary places I’ve been, couple local lads say there aren’t many girls come into the pub (can’t understand why 🙄) so they just used the female toilets, apposed to being subjected to using the males. Which I completely understand as I’d imagine Thailand prisons have better facilities, this is the number one thing needing done first! I understand things done get done over night but they have been in for a couple years now and to not even paint the doors and the walls on the front of the building seems bonkers to me (make the place look inviting!!!) I also recommend not closing at 10/10:30 when you have people requesting to stay, would be extra money towards bringing the male toilets into the 21st century.

Called in at the last minute before taking in a show at the 'Buccleuch Centre' and we weren't dissapointed in the least. The food was really good along with the service that we received. We will definitely look to eat there again in the future

Travelled up from the North East for pleasure. Stayed at the Esk but came to the crown for drinks. Brilliant craic and a beautiful pint of Guinness. Highly recommend 👌 Hayle is spot on.

We arrived looking for something hot to eat on a cold, wet winters day. We were welcomed in with our dog and sat beside a cosy open fire. Good pub grub and staff were very good to our dog. He was fussed over and given treats. I happened to mention it was my husband’s birthday and we were provided with home made scones to take away. Couldn’t have asked for a better service.

The Crown Hotel at Langham has been taken over by a young couple (Samantha and Steven) on arrival we where shown to our room (unsuite. Shower, toilet and hand sink all spotless. The bed was comfortable, bedding and bed spotless. The food was of a good quality (no cheap sausage which makes a change lol) well prepared and presented. The official opening of the Crown is the 2nd Nov. This will include bar, restaurant and cafe. Nothing was to much trouble and Samantha and Steven have all the skills need to make this venture a total success if our visit was anything to go by. Would recommend this to all of you while visiting the area. Cannot wait to return. Good luck to both Samantha and Steven. We are sure you will go from strength to strength

Under new management excellent new chef also dog friendly. Cafe open all day and restaurant in the evenings optional to eat in the bar.

The The Crown Hotel is Terrible place and the staff is arrogant ! The food is cheap and Inedible . The Bar staff arrogant ( we think her name is Nicolla ) She have just started here 1 month ago ! The manager Not at the premises ! We think is time for the owner to close down the place, refurbishe it and take some new profesional staff on board.

The Crown is rather neglected and the People who run the place need to get the Cleaning sorted. The Place is lost in a time warp. The Service is ok the Toilets are Dirty and I would stay clear not been updated in 50 years. The Food is ok but not recommended as better places to eat in Langholm

The initial impression of the ‘hotel’ was quite negative. The place was shabby and stuck in a time warp and the decoration was chipped and past its best. I was shown my room by a very cheery lady, who asked if I was ok with stairs. I followed her up four flights of stairs and on the way we walked past a sign that said ‘smile you’re on cctv’! My room was basic and as I lay in bed at night I could feel the springs through the mattress, which made getting to sleep quite difficult. The small en-suite was also basic and the floor had a build up of thick dust in the corners. There wasn’t any heating on and every time when I said I was cold the response was that it had just gone off. I understand that the heating came on during the day. During the early hours of the morning I would hear people coming up from the bar and walking past my room to go into the room at the end of the corridor and then after possibly an hour I would hear them leave. When I asked who was walking around in the night I was told the place was haunted! The bar downstairs was male dominated and I understand that the rooms could be rented by the hour.

We visited the bar on a Saturday night. Music was blaring. Locals made us welcome ...we had to dance!! Could do with a revamp decor-wise, but it is what it is , just a man's pub for a pint or two. Staff was a lady who was friendly but who could 'handle' any mischief! All in all, just a pub.

The food was very good and the selection was very good for opening after a quiet spell. It was a quick family booking and we were in and seated very quickly. I would definitely recommend a visit for a family meal.

Took my mum here for a birthday treat - it's where she wanted to try. When we went in we were told to find a table and a waitress would be with us shortly - half an hour later still no waitress or even anyone that worked there, I went to ask at the bar and was told they would get her, she was hiding in the kitchen. In fairness they did give us our soft drinks for free due to the poor service. When we got the menu's - there isnt much choice about 7 items & 3 vegetarian. We found the food ok a bit pricey £15 for gammon, egg & chips. If they had been busy I could have understood the excessive wait for menu's and our order been taken but they werent they had one other table of 7 in who had already ordered. To us it comes across as a shambles and we wont be going back.

I've stayed in this hotel many many times. The new managers, Nikki and Fran are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble, very welcoming. See you next year. Thank you

Stopped there many times. Very welcoming. Good food at reasonable prices. The cheese scones are particularly good!

Quaint high street hotel in the High Street in sleepy little Langholm. But just like the town this establishment looks like time has passed it by. The theme of the Common Riding - a local festival was its major selling point. We has a good, basic meal, nicely served.

Friday lunchtime; of four local pubs two were closed and one looked overpriced. So we tried this place, and it's the first time I've ever been into a pub and found the bar closed. We were hooked into a little side room where they were serving meals from a very small, basic menu - which was not on display outside as it should be. Considering they were all very simple dishes the food took a while to arrive; it was okay, but there was far too much overdressed salad. It certainly wasn't good enough to make up for the lack of a pint!

Morning coffee is particularly good. Scones are freshly made and delicious. Friendly service just adds to the occasion.

Travelled here bank holiday weekend for two days. We found it very hard to get a parking space across the road as there is no-where else unless your ok with leaving your car out of sight. Anyway, we were very warmly welcomed at the hotel by the locals. The room was clean and had everything we needed. We had dinner in the hotel that night and it was really nice and well presented. Derek it an excellent chef. We can highly recommend eating there. The breakfast was also very substantial. All in all a great experience. I would return here again, but would have to think twice because of the parking situation. Thanks Derek.

From the minute I arrived and until the minute I left, the hospitality I received certainly exceeded my expectations...

This was our third visit and we ate in the main restaurant, which we have only had breakfast in before. The Restaurant is in a lovely conservatory. The menu was a set price at £27.95 for a two course or £29.95 for a three course meal, which to be honest, although the food was excellent and served by pleasant helpful staff I consider a tad expensive.

We have stayed here before a few years ago and loved it so we looked forward to the return visit.

We wandered in on a cold winter evening for a drink and meal but were greeted with silence. The barman just grunted and got our drinks for us with obvious resentment. The slight cold shoulder was very concerning so we left quickly. The stares and glares from everyone in the bar was most uncomfortable.

We stopped here for lunch and noticed that it was dog friendly so went in with our dogs. The staff were friendly and made us feel welcome. Not a massive lunch menu but enough to have a choice. When lunch arrived the portions were enormous and the food was very tasty. We ate in the public bar which was full of character. Recommended if you're in the area.

Reasonably priced good homely food ,first class service and friendly staff made this a perfect place to eat whilst we were in Langholm

I had a meal here on the way to my holiday , and this was the only place in Langholm where a dog was welcome , I found the welcome friendly , you were left in peace to enjoy the meal and the food and drink ( soft drink for me as I was driving ) I have no complaints - standard pub grub , and reasonably priced

I had not eaten at the crown in a number of years and will be a long time until I do again. Food poor quality and not that hot lasagne was gloop on a plate. Manager not bothered and rude. Plenty good places for eating in Langholm I will be avoiding this place.

We went into the coffee/cafe area a couple of times on our visit for morning coffee and tea cakes. The service was very friendly, the coffee was really nice and the food was fresh and nicely served.

Been to the crown many of times now for lunch! Absolutely gorgeous! Brilliant value for money. June's chicken curry is to die for and would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a good home cooked meal! X

Mostly go on a Thursday afternoon with my friends, lovely staff, good food and always plenty to eat, very reasonably priced, great atmosphere

Met a friend here for lunch a few weeks ago. The service was very quick and the portions were very large. Simple enough food but full of flavour. The members of staff are very friendly and you are always made to feel welcome there.

having had a recent stay in the crown hotel I was shocked to say the least at the so called manager of the place he comes across friendly but his hygiene is something else for someone to be the face of the crown he needs to clean him self up, I was overwhelmed by his bad breath, as for the staff they are friendly enough but a uniform of smart black and white behind the bar would look better. the food was basic bland and slightly cold, the bedroom was basic to say the least not a pleasant sleep been bitten on my leg but what looks like a flee bite. wont be back

The tea room is run by Marie who is friendly and helpfull theres a selection of specials but also sandwiches , baked potatoes , pannini, s and homemade cakes and tray bake they serve tea and special coffees(skinny latte) but u can also get something from the bar. If its more of a dinning experience you want the dinning room is at the back of the hotel with a inside outside feel the staff are helpfull and cheerful and tend to everyone s needs I love going here as its great value for money especially with a family of four .well worth a visit..

The room was cold and very quiet , I have been told the hotel was in transition stage , the meal was ok , I had a steak which was slightly underdone , and the mushrooms were deep fried which gave them a taste ,,it might be better when things are sorted out

Je cherchais un endroit pour manger et j'ai trouvé le pub Crown Hotel, demandant à manger en regardant la télé dans le pub. Pas de problème. Mais la qualité du repas, soupe du jour et fish/chips laissaient vraiment a désirer. Sans plus de commentaires négatifs. Il doit avoir de meilleurs endroits à manger à Langholm.

This was my first visit to Langholm and a group of 9 of us went for lunch. The waitress was very friendly. The portions were huge. I had the macaroni cheese and asked for chips instead of garlic bread and I struggled to finish it as did my daughter who had it with garlic bread. My husband felt there was a whole cow in the steak pie there was that much meat. My friends had the chicken coujons and said they were fantastic too. The service was very quick. The food was excellent value for money.

Myself and my partner went here for a meal one Sunday night. We used to go here regularly but after this experience we certainly won't be back.

Came here for a nice meal one Friday night..
