Visited today as we were in longtown. Seated quickly we both chose Sunday lunch. Food arrived and was tasty and plentiful. It was that good we ordered a pudding. Sensibly priced we shall return

Loved it, called in for lunch and ordered Bacon and Brie panini and a latte. It was huge loads of bacon, and brie. A huge salad with homemade coleslaw which was delicious and crisps for £7.25 couldn't fault any of it and a HOT Latte. The cafe was well presented and very clean, Staff friendly and welcoming. Cant fault any of it, it was excellent

Just popped in for lunch, and what a lovely place. Really quaint, with a good menu and friendly service. I had a really tasty and filling tuna sandwich, which came with a huge side salad, coleslaw, and a couple of nachos. It was fresh and flavoursome. Also, and maybe most importantly, they do sides of curly fries, and they're cooked to perfection. We'll be back when we next pass through for sure!

So glad that we saw The Sycamore Tree was open today (Sunday) as we had used their catering services a few years ago when staying nearby and were very impressed. The cafe was very busy with Sunday Lunch service and the smells were mmmm. Just a flying stop for us today for a takeaway as we were on our journey home. Tasty panini and lovely fresh sandwich - just the job. Good value and friendly efficient service too. Would definitely recommend for anyone travelling through Longtown. Thank you!

Brilliant customer service! We had the good fortune to stumble across this place whilst riding the Reivers Route on our bikes. That we were close to closing time was no issue and we were soon tucking into home made cherry and almond scones and fresh filter coffee. That we’d not got our food strategy right for the evening was no problem, our hosts offered home made beef stew and mashed potatoes to ‘take away’… superb - and beyond very welcome! They do a take away service on a Wednesday- we were fortunate are that some hand been frozen. Very friendly, very accommodating and some good banter too- visit - you’ll not be disappointed!

5* experience with wide choice of foods and people with GF requirements well catered for with good knowledge from friendly staff. Rustic interior in quite small cafe and food served freshly made and hot at reasonable prices, Chilli and African stew could be a bit more spiceier as lacked a bit of kick and maybe bland taste for some but nevertheless very tasty

What a lovely find. We came across this place when looking for accommodation as we were attending a wedding nearby. We phoned the day before and spoke to a lovely lady who agreed we could pick up the key on our way to the wedding prior to the check in time, so we didn't have to worry about checking in later in the day. The room was beautiful, spacious, cosy and very clean. Everything was catered for and it was a shame we were only staying for one night. Breakfast the next morning was lovely with plenty of choice and the staff/owner were friendly and welcoming. If we are ever coming up this way again we will definitely look to book into this gem of a find.

If you're travelling to or from Scotland on the A7, I'd recommend The Sycamore Tree to stop for a reasonably priced meal with free parking outside. I had a really nice scrambled egg and bacon muffin with a small salad and a large coffee for around £8. Full meals are available for £9-10 if you have more time to spare and The Sycamore Tree doubles up as a bed and breakfast. Staff are friendly, the place is spotless and a local said she has been a regular for years, so I would recommend a stop at this cafe.

We stayed in one of the two rooms they have available above the cafe. Nice large room, clean, and with nice amenities. Bit warm (being on the second floor in June), and some road noise, but otherwise a wonderful stay. The included breakfast in the cafe each morning was delicious, and the host (John) was very nice.

We stayed here for 2 nights as we were quests at a wedding nearby. We had a perfect stay The rooms were impeccably clean, warm and comfortable and the little extras made it really special. From individual toiletry packs and slippers on each bed, to gowns in the wardrobe. There was even a pack of baby wipes in the bathroom. The breakfast in the cafe downstairs was delicious, choices of fruit juices and cereals on the table, then a hot breakfast menu to choose from. The full breakfast was well cooked, using local produce and was delicious. All the staff were lovely, friendly and couldn't have been more helpful. I would highly recommend this little gem of a place and wouldn't hesitate to stay again if I was in the area

Wow - struck gold finding this place. Used it as an overnight stop off en route to-from Hampshire/North of Scotland. Cant fault anything about it. Room and facilities are outstanding as was the breakfast, with plenty of different choices available. A few miles off the M6. Petrol station just up the road was cheap for topping up for onward journeys too which was a bonus. Regular bus service to and from Carlisle -Annan if going out and about which runs until 10pm. If youre looking for somewhere around Carlisle or this part of the Scottish Borders, you could do a hell of alot worse for double the price. Highy HIGHLY recommended, and for me to say that, it must be good.

Traveller’s stop for lunch. Convenient (eg parking). Peasant, efficient & swift waitress. Fine cheese & onion toasted sandwich… but marred by the detestable (trying not to write ‘putrid’) taste of one of the salad ingredients: soft leaves well on the way to being ‘past it’ (bagged salad is nice & fresh on opening the bag, but not so a day later). A pity!

We tend to avoid B&B's, often find them overpriced for often mediocre service. But it was one night and location perfect, so we took a chance. I am so glad we did! * A relaxed a friendly welcome from John and his team in the cafe. Took opportunity whilst waiting for room to have a homemade scone... Heaven on a plate. *immaculate room, I mean really really clean. In fact everywhere you looked was clean, you could see into the kitchen from cafe and it was spotless. *large room... We paid £80 for the four poster bed (room 1). There was ample space even with the bed, solid wood furniture and seats. *the fan... In 29degree heat we did have concerns as we correctly guessed there would be no AC. However, there was a large, excellent quality, remote control, powerful fan which cooled room down wonderful. *breakfast... Good choice, made to order and very popular. We would highly recommend The Sycamore Tree as your stopover on way north/South. It is 10min off M74, perfect location for Gretna too.

A must visit place for Full English Breakfast We had a made a trip Carlisle on a Saturday for an event and reached much earlier than expected and couldn't find a place which was open about 8.30ish for breakfast A quick search on google gave me a couple of options. I called Sycamore to check if they were open which they were. Its about 10 mins from the city centre closer to Gretna Green outlet shopping Ample parking was available on the street. This place had one of the best breakfast I had. They catered for both Veg and Non veg options. My daughter had a full glass of milk too. There are customised breakfast options if need be and an array of drinks The place was tidy and good social distancing. Some of the locals having breakfast who were regulars provided all the small talks and laughter required too Toilets are clean and well maintained. Service was quick and food was sumptuous. Worth a visit.
