A very simple fine fare for a modest lunch- very friendly staff and decent menu. Service was prompt and well stocked bar.

Super Friday night getaway.We attended the very informative wine tasting which finished just in time for our dinner booked at 7.30pm. Steak & fish & chips were spot on as was the clootie pudding. We had been allocated room 19 which was small but well appointed. To be honest we didn’t spend much time in the room as we were out the door after our nicely cooked breakfast for bike ride to Castle Douglas. We returned in time to have a really good afternoon tea with a nice selection of cakes and fresh cut sandwiches and many cups of tea as we’re a bit dry after the bike ride. We payed the bill a departed for home feeling full up and relaxed. We will be back.

This hotel was delight. Very friendly and helpful staff. Hotel warm and welcoming despite cold and rain outdide. Our room was besutiful, lovely comfortsble bed, good bathroom with bath and shower. Nice touch was the nespresso machine and pods. Approved of the jack points on sockets for usb and tech leads. Fruit and biscuits as well. Dinner perfect from award winning young chef, we shared scallops snd risotto starter I had roast tandoori cauliflower very tasty and just well spiced. My husband said the pigs cheeks were delicious. A shared pannacotta rounded off a great meal. Excellent nights sleep was followed by a hearty Scottish Breakfast. We didn't need any more food until the evening. I can't recommend this lovely hotel too highly.

Lovely hotel and restaurant in Kircudbright. Good room and really good restaurant with bar and friendly staff. Had 2 pork bellies and starters of Haggis croquettes. Excellent food. Would recommend this hotel and the town as there are quite a few restaurants and bars. Free parking at the back of the hotel was a bonus.

We had the warmest of welcomes from several staff on a cold day. We were seated next to a coal fire and enjoyed a classic menu of tasty cock-leekie soup followed by a generous plateful of haggis, neeps and tatties. The beer was excellent too.

We stayed here for the Stargazing Weekend in November 2023. The hotel is lovely and food is excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms clean and comfortable. The weather was against us so we didn't see any stars - alas - but we had two informative sessions with expert Steve, a visit to the planetarium and a thoroughly enjoyable stay. The hotel is centrally located in Kirkcudbright which is lovely to visit for scenery and independent shops.

We stayed overnight and have to say the breakfast was equally brilliant. What a find!... will definitely be coming back (again...and again.) Thank you to the whole team whose attention to detail and customer service added the cherry to the cake.

Here for a few days visiting Kirkcudbright. What a super place! The rooms are very good, spotlessly clean and well appointed. The main reception rooms, dedicated to Robert Burns are really well done with lots of books and memorabilia. The staff are extremely pleasant - all of them - but would single out Eileen who was welcoming, very helpful and a constant throughout our stay. The South African chef has to be acknowledged as the food is excellent; we could not fault a thing. Would highly recommend.

After reading reviews we booked well ahead of our holiday and looked forward to a meal with high expectations. We however left feeling deflated and for 1 person hungry. This was a meal of two dishes. The Korean Chicken Burger was succulent and full of flavour with crispy chips as a side. The Risotto however contained more peas than grains of rice, certainly not worthy of the £14 price tag! Thankfully we complained and requested for the meal to be removed from the bill, which they gratefully done as well as a glass of red. Moral of the story, if you are hesitant to complain, like we are as our nature, then don't.

We enjoyed a really good lunch today at the Selkirk Arms. The cooking is amazingly good, with inventive menu items new to us. I had a beautifully cooked haddock, chips and mushy peas. I don’t think fish and chips gets any better than this. She had the salmon fillet, a generous piece of fish with very interesting accompaniments, and again, cooked to perfection. The desserts were equally impressive. I elected for the Ecclefechen tart, a superior sort of mince pie, served with vanilla cream, very rich and very moreish. She had their wonderful Alaska Bombe, a circular construction of sorbet and strawberry parfait, topped with meringue and coulis. Just delicious, and our top pick from the choices we made today.This is a great place to eat!

Dithered over where to book for our final night, cottage owner had suggested Castle Bistro or Auld Alliance as they weren’t as pricey as here but when I looked online they were on par price wise. selection looked better here so booked it. We weren’t disappointed, food delicious, not over faced with heaps of microwaved side dishes etc, staff friendly and covid restrictions adhered to - i hope they can get back to normal soon. Anyway - 1 bottle of house french red, a small white wine, 1 pint, 1 crab arancini, 1 terrine, 2 venison, 1 lamb, 1 pie, 1 Alaska bombe, 1 mixed ice cream, 1 choc delice and 1 affogato = £126 (without tip).

We dined here on the 4th may and the service was so lovely! The food was amazing, especially the venison but what really made it was the people who worked there. They were more than accommodating after we had finished our food and asked to sit outside for a drink even though it had been raining all day, they sorted the seats and brought us some plastic covers to sit on so we didn’t get wet.Definitely would recommend if you’re in the area.

Splendid food, atmosphere and impeccable service as always. There's nothing that could be improved.The addition of the outside pizza oven since we last visited went down well with my daughter (I was jealous!) and we can't wait to be back.
