The Manor Country House Hotel & Restaurant in Dumfries & Galloway

Delightful and charming small hotel in a rural setting Superb dinner and breakfast Very dog friendly - dogs and their owners will love it Walks nearby Super hospitality and warmth 10 lovely rooms to choose from Highly recommend for a mini break

2nd Visit - I stayed this time at Kirkcudbright Bay Hotel for three nights. A mixed experience. The best about the hotel is the food....exceptional, tasty. I had the fish and chips which was breaded in panco breadcrumbs which was super crispy and super delicious. Breakfast was hot tasty and traditional though the cereal selection was limited. The downside to my stay was my room (No.1).....comfortable and warm but very dated and had an alarmingly large amount of extensions. I'm a technical person so that was a bit concerning. Even though the website says the room are serviced daily you have to advise the staff prior which I missed the first night. Another slight thing even though I knew this prior, is they don't do evening meals on Tues/Wed which is a pain if your struggling to get booked in somewhere else. 9/10 for food, 6/10 for remainder. 1st Visit - I popped in for an evening meal and wasn't disappointed. Friendly staff, well cooked, tasty steak pie and a cracking pint of IPA. Will look at staying here in the future. A++++

Omg this place is top class!! Previous Michelin Star, they haven't dropped their standard. 2 or 3 course set menu, the menu had a map of Scotland titled The Larder, showing where their ingredients are sourced. I had the best Cheese Soufflé I've ever had, large for a starter and so cheesy tangy. Hubster had the salmon marinated in beetroot, on the small side but delicious. Beautifully rare lamb for main with a filo pastry black pudding, and a lamb samosa, so minty, amazing accompaniments and presentation. Hubster upgraded to a Rib Eye, said it was the best he'd ever had. Chef wasn't keen on serving it blue, but it was perfect. We were full really but couldn't resist the dessert menu. White chocolate rice pudding... omg just the best! And sticky toffee pudding. We'd mistakenly booked a bar table, and couldn't understand why we couldn't move to the restaurant as there were free tables, but the service was excellent, attentive and friendly. It was all amazing, thank you guys 👏

Another fantastic meal at Just Be, amazing choice, all delicious! Wonderful service from Deni, Ruby and Ella, sorry I pinched your phone Deni! 🤣Looking forward to the next time. Ma C

It's a great shame that this place will be closing shortly because the food and the staff are so lovely! Super according to a coeliac and went above + beyond in everything. Best of luck to Mr Pooks and all those involved in this little gem.
