The Trigony in Dumfries & Galloway

We were staying at Trigony for my mom's 70th birthday weekend, and we ate in the restaurant two out of the three nights we stayed, and wished we had eaten there all three nights. The meal I had on the Friday was so delicious I had exactly the same again on the Saturday. We were a group of 6 and everyone was just so happy with their food, delicious ingredients prepared so well. They even made a cake for my mom's actual birthday on the Saturday, which was absolutely delicious. We had a spa day on Saturday and had a beautifully prepared afternoon tea made for us, I think we might have let them down because we weren't able to finish it all there was so much, but we gave it a good go :)

Visited with friends for a "special" birthday. Upon arrival, we were shown into a small comfy sitting room for pre dinner drinks, drinks were ordered, and the wine was placed on our dinner table. The waitress disappeared, and we were unable to get our drinks refreshed. We selected our food and placed our order when staff finally re appeared. We were shown to our table and our food arrived, we would have liked some more vegetables but there was no sign of the waitress. Our plates were eventually cleared, and desserts ordered, which again was very nice. At no point were we, where we asked if our food was ok or if we needed anything. When the bill arrived, it was more expensive than the price stated for a 2 course meal online. When this was brought to the attention of staff, we were basically fobbed off. To sum up, delicious food but rubbish staff

We ate dinner and breakfast during our stay, inventive menus, delivered as described, very professional kitchen which surprised us given how small the hotel is. Loved it.

As per the whole Hotel, service was exceptional. Menu was very interesting, good, wholesome food very well prepared and presented. Very good wine list to accompany food. Represented very good value for money and in a lovely comfortable environment.

We were lucky enough to be staying here. The food is of 5* standard. Delicious, unique and plentiful

Trigony is, overall, the best small hotel I have visited for a long time. Our room had character, was comfortable & clean and had great views over the garden. Breakfast and evening meal were a delight. The wine advice in relation to the food on the evening menu was really helpful and fairly priced. The staff were friendly and helpful. The overall price was was very good in relation to the standards achieved. I recommend this hotel and its restaurant.

Table of 5 for lunch Friday 2 July 2021, Some of the best food we have tasted, this is a hidden gem, fabulous wine list too. Beautiful Hotel in lovely grounds, with amazing service and staff.

Our 7th or 8th trip to Trigony. So good we've lost count. Always made to feel welcome with excellent food and comfy bedrooms They've made it Covid compliant with aplomb although some of the quirky things that made it such fun have had to be set aside for now. Will we be back? Of course!

Visited for a meal, beautiful food served in a very comfortable setting. Service was friendly and considerate, very much at the diners pace. Will definitely return.

We've been quite a few times to O Trigony and can recommend it wholeheartedly for fine food, comfy but unpretentious surroundings, caring staff and a warm welcome for people and their pets.

All the meals we had were absolutely Delicious Fast Service and lovely environment Definitely be coming back here again

Lovely fresh food and great service. Good menu. Bar area is dog friendly. We ate here when we stayed overnight. Breakfast good too.

Very good dinner and at a reasonable price just outside the village of Thornhill in Dumfries. Recommended.

I dined here on a special birthday and was delighted. The ingredients for all their dishes is locally sourced and the chef was an artist! I had game and it was perfectly ccoked. Trigony is a very special place.

Had a delicious 3 course meal in a relaxing environment Varied menu that changes on a daily basis Enjoyed it that much we are going again tomorrow I think that speaks volumes of how we rate Trigony Superb in every department

The breakfasts were to die for - plenty of choice; home made granola and fresh fruit followed by sumptuous breakfasts which set you up for the day. Comprehensive wine list and dinner menu. Friday night was the better night. I had pigeon which was very good. The main course: Vension, cooked beautifully. Dessert, Creme Brûlée - sorry but I can create a better Brûlée, although it had a good crust the contents were bland and too solid. Saturday, starters we both had duck which was VERY stringy with too much hoy sauce. Main course was Hake which was okay. Dessert, my wife had brownie and coconut - wish I had had that as the cheese selection was very bland and the suggested dessert wines were the same level including the port selection. Suggest Richard the waiter needs to sharpen his appearance.

Was in the area with our dogs and couldn't get a room booking at the place. We had to stay nearby.Went for dinner and it was a lovely experience.The warmth in the welcome to sitting in the lounge with a drink and choosing your menu made it special.We were then taken to our table which had two other dogs on other tables.It was lovely to talk about pet friendly hotels and what it means to dog lovers.The food was outstanding and true value for money.We will try again for a room and come back to the area.

The Trigony hotel and restaurant is a small classy family run establishment set in a beautiful sandstone building. It offers a level of service beyond the ordinary. Staff were professional but welcoming and friendly at all times and the food superb. Generous portions. Each dish has a recommended wine but Richard has extensive knowledge if you want an alternatIve option. After the meal you can retire to the lounge or wander around the lovely gardens.

Good value set priced menu - 25 pounds for 2 courses, 35 pounds for 3 with lots of great options. Good, attentive service. The cheese sables to start were so delicious! Excellent quality ingredients in each dish. There is a very interesting gin menu at the bar. Lovely outlook onto the garden, which at this time of year is very pretty and was still light throughout the meal.

Visited on a Monday evening, made very welcome but a friendly front of house girl, shown into a lovely cosy lounge for pre dinner drinks the wood burner made for a very cheery atmosphere.

Something not often found in this area-Any wine on the wine list could be obtained by the Glass! Comfortable Lounge for pre-dinner drinks, and selecting your Menu. We were a party of four, we felt we were well looked after, and we all found choices to suit our varied Tastes. The Menu changes Daily, offering 2 Courses for £25.

Cenamos aquí una noche durante su estancia en una granja local. La comida era buena, pero no excepcional, hongos, lubina a la parrilla mar soufflé bien presentado. Lo que hizo es realmente agradable era la sensación de retroceder en el tiempo hasta la época cuando este era un caza. Disfrutamos de las bebidas de primera en un salón con vistas a los encantadores jardines y elegir nuestro selecciones del menú antes de trasladarnos al comedor veraniego, también con una buena vista al jardín. Servicio en general es bueno, aunque algunos servidores parecía menos experimentados e incierto.

Acabamos de volver de una comida estupenda en el Trigony. Disfrutamos de nuestra bebidas antes de la cena en el cómodo salón, donde había una estufa de madera echando el calor. Luego en el comedor. Ambos comenzaron con una sopa de lentejas condimentadas indio que habíamos acordado era el mejor restaurante de sopa que hemos probado. Mi esposa tenía rape sirve en arroz para el plato, mientras yo tenía sillín de venado, se sirve en un venado haunch tagine. Estos eran tanto una delicia. Después de toda esa comida que estaba completo y no puede manejar un dulce, aunque después de mirar la lista nos hubiera encantado tener uno!

Visitamos este restaurante como un regalo para el cumpleaños de mi hermana. Por desgracia, la sensación de que me. El comedor estaba frío y nos sentimos clínico. El primer plato era preciosa, pero por desgracia no se puede decir lo mismo de la principal. Tres de nosotros pedimos el ciervo de Roe y tengo que decir que nosotros pensamos que sabía exactamente igual que el hígado. Me dijeron que el camarero mis pensamientos y él dijo que tiene su propio sabor. Los postres estaban bien. Fuimos a este restaurante ya que era buena y que era, pero el plato principal les defraudará.

Nos alojamos en El Trigony por 2 noches, restaurantes en ambas noches. La comida era excelente en ambas ocasiones. Algunos de los mejores que hemos comido, especialmente el black pudding. Durante nuestra estancia, nos no nos faltó de nada y el personal era muy amable y servicial. Todo lo que necesitábamos era ya disponibles o el personal era más que dispuesto a ayudar. Por ejemplo, toallas de perros al lado de la puerta era muy útil; también tuvimos un almuerzo para llevar listas para nosotros en nuestra llegada día así que pudimos ir directamente, que de nuevo, fue increíble! La mejor sopa casera y sándwiches, completa con recipientes de té y café.

Das Restaurant gehört zum Trigony House Hotel, einem alten Gebäudekomplex aus dem 16. Jahrhundert. Auch unser kleiner Hund war dort willkommen. Den Aperitif haben wir in der Bücherei/Kaminzimmer eingenommen und dort unsere Speisen ausgewählt. Unser Abendessen haben wir an rustikalen, aber nett dekorierten Tischen in der Bar eingenommen. Als Hundebesitzer nehmen wir das gerne in Kauf, dass wir nicht ins festlicher eingedeckte Restaurant dürfen, aber hier haben wir uns sofort wohl gefühlt und waren mit 2 anderen Hundebesitzern die dort ebenfalls zu Abend aßen, in angenehmer Gesellschaft. Vorspeise und Hauptspeise waren ausgezeichnet, lediglich die Nachspeise die auf der Dessertkarte umfangreich beschrieben war, stellte sich als 3 lieblos in einer Glasschale servierte Eiskugeln ohne jeder weitere Dekoration heraus. Wenn die Nachspeise zumindest ansprechender präsentiert worden wäre, hätte es für das Essen ein

We stayed for 2 nights dinner, bed and breakfast and found it relaxing. evening dinner was great and probably one of the best meals we have had at a hotel. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

Teníamos amigos que visitan que encontramos este restaurante en una lista de restaurantes para que él tenía una tarjeta de descuento. Nos quedamos muy contentos que había encontrado. El menú no era la carne tradicional asado pero tenía venado, pintadas, patos y lubina como platos principales y teníamos todo pero el pato y quedamos muy contentos con todas ellas. Estoy seguro de que el pato habría sido igual de bueno! Había una igualmente apetecible variedad selección de entrantes.

Está bastante bien pero un poco decepcionante guay. Para ser justos, el personal intentó subir la temperatura, pero parecía ser corto de combustible! El almuerzo era lo suficientemente agradable e incluía una opción vegetariana para nuestra hija en la ley.

Firstly you enjoy a drink in the lounge with complimentary olives. The menu changes continually, you have a choice of 4 starters / mains / deserts, £25 for two course, £35 for 3, desert includes coffee - which you can have again relaxing in the lounge. It's not a cheap place, bargain hunters look elsewhere, but for a romatic / celebration blowout, it's the business. Between relaxing in the lounge pre and post meal and the meal itself, we were there for 3 hours and you are never rushed. The food is excellent, the service attentive but discreet, not fawning over you like some places can. They also do large groups, 15 dentists / medics who were at uni together 30 years ago were in and were clearly having a good time. All of this in a period hotel with grounds setting, so if dry a great place for a relaxing stroll.

I am a very picky eater and this place did not disappoint me eveything tasted home made(no bought ins here) even the biscuitsi in the room. The breakfast and main meals were very good and a varied choice was available. Wonderful coffee served and offered constantly over the period of our stay. The atmosphere is very laid back, welcoming and relaxing. The staff were all very helpful and friendly without being pretentious. Its great to find a place where dogs are very welcome with their own towels and treat packs on arrival.The rooms were a decent size and decent showers .

As a local tried the Trigony for a meal only in December 2013. Did not know what to expect and whilst we could not really fault the food, hence rating, there was just something amiss which would not make us rush back.It was a cold night and the fire was lit but we were seated as far away from the fire as possible in an otherwise empty dining room, would have been nice to be closer to the log fire!! As with other reviews I'm not quite sure exactly what this establishment is trying to achieve. Perhaps as a resident the overall experience would have been better, I'm not sure.We may return for lunch and give it another go but I think we will return to other restaurants for dinner before this one.

Both my wife and I would rate the Trigony as the best two days accommodation we had in our travels. Beautiful surrounding and gardens build up your expectations when you drive in. You will not be disappointed. We stayed here in the Hotel, our room was luxurious and it was considered to be a lesser room, if that is possible. This is an expensive place but the value is there with service from obliging Adam and the staff. The meals were beautiful. I won't say what I had because the menu is seasonal as good restaurants should offer. Ordering your meal while sitting by the fire and having pre-dinner drinks and nibbles as you order is so relaxing. When you are invited to sit and settled in the beautifully set out dining room your meal is served. This is a dog friendly place and your doggies can share everything even dining albeit in a the bar dining area. If you are staying there are plenty of lanes to walk along with the dogs and while you need to travel a little to other sites such as the lead mines and small railway, we managed to rest and yet see all that we wanted. Trigony is highly recommended, sadly not sure if our travel plans will be able to include an return visit but we shall surely try!!

We arrived around 8pm and were directed to a lounge area by the hostess. After 15 minutes we'd not seen anyone since then and feared we'd been forgotten. We had. She was apologetic and swiftly brought menus and took drinks orders. Once we'd sat down in the bar part of the restaurant the food was very good indeed, and fairly good value. Recommended

Stayed one night, room was a classic which was small . Nice bathroom but no shower only a hand held shower with no curtain . Liked the filter coffee in the bedroom . Had a meal which was just ok , but was on the expensive side . Resturant lacked atmosphere . Staff were excellent and the full Scottish breakfast was great.

fantastic venue for a wedding, food was really good and surprisingly hot seeing wedding was in a marquee next to the hotel.

There is a bar menu which you can eat in the cosy bar area with fire (try the lamb burger) or an adjoining restaurant room but you can also order from the bar menu in the restaurant if you wish. Lovely outlook to gorgeous gardens - great food - try the wood pigeon as an entree and the Roe venison as a main was so moist. Coffee can be taken in a small lounge room with a fire. Terrific night.

This was just my cup of tea. Small and personal yet not overbearing. The food was to die for with great helpings but impecably balanced in flavour. The setting was lovely too and I am now considering this as my wedding venue. My ony reservation was the dinning room was a bit chilly even though they had the heat blasting...not enough to downgrade the experience though. Excellent.

It was ok not enough food for me on the plate, too fancy for a lot of expense... not very wheelchair friendly either when I went

I'm confused by Trigony as I am not sure where they are trying to place themselves in the market. I recently moved to the area and was looking for a restaurant with a little something special, but I'm not sure I have found it -- surprising based on other reviews.I expected informal dining with quality food in a homely atmosphere and while it does tick these boxes there were several let downs.The first thing that stuck me was the severe lighting in the restaurant area. The room has 24 covers yet the lights could have been for a room three times as large -- definitely too bright. The room also received the occasional waft of an air fresher from somewhere!Service was informal (a plus point) but chaotic. During our starter I asked for bread and our server said, 'Sure, no problem, you want more bread'. I said 'No, we want bread; we never had any previously'. The thin, uninspiring four slices that did arrive were stale.I had scallops as a starter then fish (Seabass) in a fragrant Thai sauce -- the flavours were exquisite and the fish cooked to perfection. However the main was let down by far too many bones. I always think if you get more than two bones it is a lazy chef; I had six. My fellow dinners had a better experience but all were meat based.The wine selection was ample, covering most tastes and the price per bottle reasonable.Both the male and female toilets had no towels and we had to ask for fresh one.Overall my party of four left with mixed feelings. In the interests of fairness we will return at some point as it could simply have been an off night. I think we shall leave it for a little while in order to allow this experience to move to the back of our minds.

I enjoyed the food either sitting in the bar area or the dining room. The setting of the hotel is beautiful although fairly close to the road you can't hear any traffic. We look forward to going back when we can.

We always have lunch or dinner at Trigony when in the area. Once stayed for Hogmany & it was brilliant despite a storm that knocked out the power. We still got fed & luckily the bar optics were easliy visible by candlelight. Dogs welcome which is always a bonus.

This country house restaurant has a nice menu, friendly staff and great food. A pity that you cannot eat on the terrace.

Enjoyed a lovely meal in the hotel restaurant. Breakfast was top-notch too!

Excellent food - all locally sourced and a very extensive menu. My coeliac diet caused no difficulty at all -I was even given my own dedicated menu!

The food was just awful, the dining room so drab and uninviting. The location is lovely though.

relaxed, homely, great home cooked food. roaring fires in winter (sometimes in summer!). Dog friendly.

Lovely gardens and a comfortable bar area which feels friendly

A total Gem in Scotland. Another World. One of peace and first class service/food/wine- everything. So friendly and special. Whether for coffe to a Stay Over - NOT TO BE MISSED ......... Absolutely excellent!!! Wonderful Staff - nothing too much trouble.
