Great platefuls for the value. Very tasty food. Think pub grub + extra effort. Was very busy so need to get a table booked (Friday night).

Unfortunately, the restaurant isn't dog friendly, however the staff were happy to arrange for takeaway food for us to eat in our campervan on the adjacent campsite. We had a chicken Caesar salad and garlic bread which was delicious.

6 of us for dinner last night 20.10.24 . What a lovely little restaurant, staff were friendly and helpfull, seating was comfortable and well spaced out, Food was very nice, piping hot and enough to satisfy you but not enough to overwhelm you, and a great price, will be returning defo, Would much rather use a good quality independant restaurant such as the Woodsman where the food is so much better than many of the "chains".

We were squeezed in on a Sunday evening with no reservation. The Haggis starter was a massive pot of haggis topped with cheese. For mains both the Veggie Fajitas (which has a large variety of different veg) and the Half Cajun chicken were enjoyable. Excellent value for money.

Absolutely beautiful location off the beaten track, very peaceful setting and a really nice atmosphere. Me and some friends meet here every few months and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious and cooked to perfection with daily specials offered as well as the main menu. The staff are very attentive, friendly and helpful, nothing is any bother to them and they work hard to ensure that everyone's dining experience is the best it can be. I would highly recommend dining here. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It's always a pleasure going out for dinner, especially to The Woodsman. Staff can't do enough for you, even moving the table when the sun was shining right into my face. The food is so tasty. Deffo recommend the steak! Cooked to perfection with a side of home made slaw that's the best I've tasted. . Even better when you can have the 3 course special essentially making our sweet free. What you waiting for get booked in!

We were staying for two nights at the adjacent campsite. Decided to give The Woodsman a try on the first night, and we really couldn't fault it at all. Good food, nice bottle of Shiraz; and, most importantly, really friendly service! Decided to eat at The Woodsman the following night, and it was just as good. Between the two of us we had Haggis Lasagne, Steak Pie, Lamb Shank and Ham& Pineapple Salad over the two nights, and all dishes were superb. For starters, we recommend the Cullen Skink. We'll certainly be back next time we're in the area! Update August 2024: Have eaten once again at the Woodsman, and once again it was a fantastic meal. Balmoral Chicken was fantastic. My wife had the Jack Daniels Chicken and she cleared her plate! Very friendly fast service. Can't wait to return yet again!

Warm welcome on arrival. Pleasant spacious dining area. Daily specials board with good range of starters, main and desert courses. Friendly waiting staff. I had soup and ploughman’s. Absolutely delicious. Homemade carrot, orange and ginger soup was so tasty. Very generous ploughman’s. 5 different cheeses, chutney and a slice of good quality ham. Served with 3 pieces of brown bread which again was delicious and a lovely mixed side salad and sliced apple. Deserts were also delicious. Warm apple pie with caramel topping and ice cream. Yummy!

We had a very enjoyable meal at the Woodsman - in particular the Balmoral Chicken was the best ever. Prices are affordable and food is of very high quality. Upon being served our meals, the wait staff disappeared a bit - we had to wait a while to order dessert. But overall our experience was excellent.

Tonight there were 14 of us gathered at the same table. Some had 3 courses, some had 2 and some had 1 plus drinks. Any food uneaten was down people unable to eat any more because the portions so generous and the food beautifully cooked and presented. We are had a wonderful time and the waiters and waitress were excellent and often joined in our banter which just added to everyones enjoyment I must that I originally booked for 4 persons, rang last night to ask to change it to 10 and at lunchtime today to change it to 14 as more family wished to join us. The persons amending the booking always courteous and friendly. Thank you all for contributing to a wonderful family get-together and hope we can return at some point in the future.we

With ample parking 🅿️ and well managed disabled parking, making your way to the restaurant is easy, nothing to navigate around and we'll light in the darker evenings. Accessibility via the wide door into a well lit and flat reception area is great, the whole area is on ground level and is very negotiable with either wheelchair or pram etc. The staff are very polite and professional, the food is amaZing with a capital Z. The vegetarian options are very good, the prices are also very good as the portions are BIG so be aware of that if you're not very hungry. The toilets are very clean and again very negotiable, these are located opposite the bar on entrance side of the restaurant, so no draughts.

Hadn’t booked but we were accommodated with a table for two by a welcoming member of the waiting staff. Just fancied a quick bite and we were not disappointed with a great selection and our choice was not disappointing. We wanted to stay on for drinks and you should be warned the space for drinking clientele was limited, but we did manage to fill the only non-eating seating in the place. Good selection of whiskys and guns and the staff were fabulous. Will definitely be back.

My parents eat here frequently and have been impressed every time they visit but I didn’t really anticipate quite how good the food was going to be. We popped in midweek and enjoyed it so much that we booked onto the campsite for the weekend so we could back on the Saturday. Every dish we ordered over both visits was gorgeous - well cooked, flavourful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The FOH staff were wonderful - especially Graham and Morag. The fact that every seat was taken on a sub zero mid January evening is testament to how great this place is. Already planning next trip.

While staying at the neighbouring campsite, my wife and I went for dinner. The quality and quantity of the food was top notch. The special pate, chicken and whisky, was especially tasty. I honestly cannot say enough about the staff. For our entire visit; we also visited a few how’s earlier on route to a walk, there was only two staff on front of house. It was especially busy for a Wednesday evening out of holiday season. They never complained, always had a smile on their face, and always happy to give recommendations. Two absolute gems. All round it was a great evening and we will definitely be back to the neighbouring campsite, partly due to this establishment.

The restaurant was so kind to serve a side of vegetables for our daughter without the garlic butter (at our special request) and a plastic cup with a straw. We were so impressed with the cleanliness and fantastic staff. Our waitress was so wonderful, she is a real asset to this restaurant. The food was also so tasty and we thoroughly enjoyed dining here.
