Torrs Warren Hotel in Dumfries & Galloway

Lovely setting ,unfortunately the meal was very poor 😢 gammon fatty chewy and very salty , chips over cooked and veg soggy ..nobody around to take sweet order so rang the reception bell to pay and leave ..disappointing .

Excellent b&b. Great staff, professional and friendly. Room was excellent, lovely bath. Location fine for travelling round local towns

Stayed here for one night lovely old former manse. Rooms had original furniture but was comfortable. Breakfast served was very good

We stopped for two night in the royal blue room which was large and comfortable. breakfast was good. But we couldnt manage to eat the full scottish breakfast as it was so big

A lovely peaceful location with glorious views from our twin room. The property is an interesting one, old mixed with updates in the rooms. The staff were brilliant, especially Ann, nothing too much trouble along with an excellent breakfast. Felt very safe in these strange times of coming out of lockdown. Would certainly return.

Spent 3 nights here. Distancing and sanitising excellent with one- way system in / out. Disappointingly evening meals were not on offer during Covid 19 times, but c'est la vie! Breakfasts excellent in choice and all freshly prepared. Be wary if booking a standard, double room. We accept this may not have a view (into a wall / roof), but the room was tiny - the 'Wee Room'! It really was only of single size, though did have all facilites - tea /coffee tray, toiletries etc. Shower was standard size but to use the tiny sink we had either to kneel on the toilet or lean over it! We asked to change but the guest house was fully booked, which it otherwise deserves to be!! We did not know in advance we'd been allocated the 'Wee Room, of which there seems to be two.

My wife and i recently stayed two nights at the Torrs Warren Country House Bed and Breakfast Hotel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. On arrival at reception we were shown around the hotel and then shown our room. We thought this was a welcome personal touch. Measures were in place re Covid 19. Hand hygiene stations were in place and a one way system for entering and leaving the building was in place. The hotel is a former church manse and has great charm and character. The breakfast was super. We chose not to have cereals but had orange juice and tea along with a traditional Scottish breakfast. What a breakfast it was. Sausage,bacon,egg, black pudding,potato scone, tomato,mushrooms, haggis and beans. All very well cooked. The level of customer service we experienced at Torrs Warren was outstanding. All the staff were friendly and very customer focused. A very enjoyable stay which we hope to repeat in the future.

I recently visited this small country hotel on the edge of a small village 1mile from Sandhead. It had a well kept garden with views over fields, countryside with and the sea in the distance. This was on a bed and breakfast deal. I got a warm welcome at reception on arrival, explaining their dining room was open for breakfast only but due to covid pandemic no evening meals were available. Alternatively they would book meals at nearby eating places. The bedroom was small but very clean and suited my needs with tea/coffee facilities TV/dvd . The ensuite shower great, but the washhand basin was on top of the toilet which made it a bit awkward to stretch over and shave or wash hands. Due to the restrictions there was a one way system,hand sanitizers and screen at reception and all staff wore adequate face visors. Overall this is a great hotel and I would definitely go back for a future stay, breakfast was excellent

Just had a four night stay , the Torrs warren is a superb place to stay, the owners have obviously put in lots of time and effort and no doubt a considerable sum of money. Both the owners and the staff are very welcoming. Beds are very comfy, room was spotlessly clean. Good supply of tea, coffee ,water and biscuits in the room. Very big shower and strong wifi. Sadly due to the uncertainty of the covid issue, the evening food menu is not running and the bar on reduced hours. When this is all up and running properly, it will be so much better. There is always a downside and Torrs Warren is no different. Cooked breakfast was a little bland and the dinning room area far too hot. It seemed like every heater and radiator was on. However, that said, I would very happily recommend Torrs Warren to anyone, and will definitely return in the future.

My wife and I often stay in this area en route to the ferry but this was our first time at Torrs Warren. It was excellent. We had got a really good rate for dinner, bed and breakfast so unsurprisingly our room was small but nonetheless very comfortable. The staff were very welcoming, cheerful and friendly. The hotel was lovely throughout with a large residents' lounge, small but nice bar and comfortable dining room. We had an excellent dinner, my wife rated her salmon as good as any she'd ever eaten. Breakfast was in a nice airy conservatory and very good. I would recommend this place highly and we will certainly be back. I will, however, pay a bit extra next time and get a bigger bedroom!

Stayed here a couple of night on business and thought it might be nice for a relaxing weekend and we were not disappointed, room was clean bright and airy with nice view, breakfast and dinner was freshly prepared and cooked well, staff were all helpful and pleasant, keep up the good work Paul, we hope to be back.

We regularly eat out here and the food and service is second to none. Our server for the majority of our visits is a lovely woman called Anne. She's always so proffesional and nothing is too much trouble. As we do enjoy eating out at the Torrs Warren it can be so incredibly frustrating when you use the number saved to your phone to book a table and you get the message ''this number isn't recognised'' and yet a couple of days later it rings straight through. We are both getting to the point whereby we are seriously considering just looking for somewhere else to eat as the hotel never seems to be open for none residents just looking to book a table for the night. I gave the restaurant a 'Very Good' rating as it is indeed very good service and food (when you can get booked in).

Booked Christmas Dinner in October. In November sometime was phoned and told they would have to cancel this as there was not enough interest. However, would i like to join them in the Christmas Day Carvery at Harbour House Hotel which he also runs. Now on 13 December a staff member has phoned to say that they will have to cancel it as some bit of machinery is broke that they need for the carvery ( odd there was an add for Christmas day dinner yesterday in Free Press. Told still availability in Castle ( which there isnt). Ruined Christmas Dinner for us - give a wide berth folks definately do not recommend

Simply brilliant we will definitely be back and will be keeping an eye out for any deals.first class food accommodation and staff

Transporting ourselves across the breadth of Scotland to Stoneykirk and the Torrs Warren, we were greeted and shown into a bar area – where we espied the tartan effect dining area - that exuded a warmth and charm that set the tone for the rest of the evening. Without ado we ordered a bottle and sipped our first glass of a superb Pinot Grigio, as we perused the al a carte menu, at a leisurely pace. We ordered grilled fresh Scottish salmon along with fresh vegetables and it was mouth-wateringly delicious, cooked to perfection. For dessert I totally indulged myself in the best-ever bountiful assortment of ice creams and sorbets. The service was impeccable – the lasses displayed courteous merriment - and after dining we were taken to a sumptuous lounge, with its deep cushioned sofas and subtle lighting and while my partner enjoyed a pot of tea, I completed the marvellous dining experience with strong black coffee and, of course, a wee dram of whisky.

The foods were not just nice but tasty and fresh from sesonal vegetables. We all had different foods but all was absolute 5*

The food is absolutely divine, haven came from turnberry golf course, I would happily rate the food here above that! The chicken was tender and the mushroom sauce was something else! Being on my own traveling is always lonely however the staff made me feel so welcome! Would recommended anybody to eat here! Karen’s advice on the lemon pudding was spot on! Very much enjoyed my meal here.

Stayed there 3 nights. Very helpful owner. Bed not so comfortable and shower room quite small. Well placed to visit places of interest without having to drive long distances.Breakfast served in the conservatory was excellent with good choice of well cooked food. We wished that the Dinner had also been served in the same room as it was a bright and airy room. The restaurant/bar while being quite atmospheric made you feel more like you were in a pub to eat pub food when that wasn't the case. The food was excellent. The menu changes but on one night the change menu had 2 dishes unavailable - on a fairly limited choice( but sufficient variety) any way that shouldn't happen.

We had a beautiful dinner at Torres Warren to celebrate my wife's birthday. Great menu choices, good wine selection and very friendly and attentive staff. Highly recommended!

I live nearby and popped in for dinner last night. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive. The new owner Paul has spent a lot of time and effort in upgrading the hotel and making the ambiance of the place just perfect. We were shown the refurbished bedrooms and they are totally fantastic - shame I live so close otherwise I would have booked a night straight away!!

Me and my family stayed within the hotel. The food was great. We eat every night as plenty to pick from. The chef would go out her way for my picky daughter. Nothing was too much. Everything was fresh we even had homemade chips! You don’t see that a lot. Would highly recommend. Can’t wait to come back next year.

I stayed here with my partner recently and loved it. The hotel is refurbished to a high standard and has a lovely feel about it / cosy with fires and electric art on the walls.

Very friendly owners and staff. (Alpacas extremely friendly too) Dinner and breakfast nicely presented. Wine choice VERY limited. A very relaxing few days and well situated.

Great stay at a fantastic hotel, the standard of room for comfort and individuality was up with the best I’ve stayed at. Clean and well laid out, all that you would expect from a bigger establishment.

My husband stayed here for work for 2 nights recently. He was given a room called the wee room and it apparently lives up to its name. Although small the room was spotless and the bed very comfortable. He had no complaints regarding the breakfast. Full scottish breakfast as well as plenty of toast and cereal. A mix up with the key meant he had to arrange a key to allow access to the hotel be left in a safe place as the hotel locks its front door after 9pm and there is no night staff on duty however the owners do reside on the grounds and are available if required. The waiting and cleaning staff were very friendly and helpful.

We spent two nights at Torrs Warren in their Royal Blue room it was a lovely room. The staff were very friendly and the new owner, Paul was very attentive and willing to offer advice on the local area. The food was lovely home cooking which we could not fault. Overall a great weekend and one of the best hotels we've stayed in. Will definitely return.

was not provided a full Scottish breakfast despite the menu stating a full Scottish Breakfast; only given

Well I don’t know about the last review, but we had a wonderful buffet, we were the first there, mushroom soup was delicious hard to choose from the mains, I tried the chicken curry and then went back for the peppered chicken, by that time I was full, but would have liked to try more, just left space for my Eton mess yum yum delicious, so sorry the last reviewer had such a bad experience, but then I am not a Michellen star chef. Host and staff were friendly and helpful,

Worst dining experience in years, on arrival I was initially set for a good night out with friends, wrong.

Six of us had a lovely lunch in cosy lounge, with relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious, served by friendly and cheery waitress. Had tour of hotel, bedrooms stylish with eclectic artwork. Will definitely be back!

Torrs Warren, is a cosy little hotel in a fantastic setting, close for Stranraer and could be walked to via the backroads and paths or wouldn’t be an inexpensive by taxi, friends had given good reports. The poor waitress was trying her best, the wine was nice. I can understand using the football on Tv to encourage people in, but it didn’t enhance the setting. The food was a mixture of poor quality, stale, undercooked and in bizarre portions, unfortunately we won’t be rushing back!

This establishment is now under new management. Major repairs and redecoration has been carried out. Quality and quantity of food was very good. Nice friendly staff and a warm comfortable place to spend an chilly evening in the bar.

Its been years since we have been to Torrs Warren but as it has new owners since December 2017 thought we would give it a try and go to the Sunday carvery for Mothers Day. Couldn't fault anything at all, lovely food (and hot), the staff are all very friendly and helpful, will definitely be going back again soon.

Lovely quiet location, set in the countryside, short trip to Stranraer. Great base for getting around the lovely coastal villages. Friendly staff who couldn't have been warmer and helpful. I like somewhere with a homely feel, not luxurious. This was perfect, clean and full of antique charm. Jim made us very welcome and was a great host, the barmaid/waitress was excellent and had a chat with all guests and compared Jim to Basil Fawlty, he did resemble him a bit in looks not nature! Very quiet at bedtime and slept well. Got up to a lovely breakfast cooked by a lady with a warm smile and very attentive. Will go back. Thanks everyone!

Este fue un hotel agradable, pero algo extraño. En la llegada nos sólo tenía 2 habitaciones en vez de 4 a pesar de que teníamos la confirmación de la reserva.

La comida era muy buena en general, aunque personalmente, no tienen los peces de nuevo, que parecía ser uno de los congelados variedad, pero era delicioso y yo disfrutamos de la comida, el resto de nuestro grupo disfrutamos de su comida y completamente eran muy gratuito

No completamente impresionados con este lugar, aunque la comida bastante decente.

Cuando estoy de vacaciones que siempre pide un local para recomendar un buen restaurante para comer fuera y por desgracia no recomendaría Torrs Warren. Esto había sido nuestra "segunda oportunidad" en dar este lugar la oportunidad de mejorar nuestra experiencia pasada y como tal, dudo...

Bien de precio menú extenso, con una gran variedad de entrantes, platos principales, carnes, dulces y bebidas.excelente comida, bien preparado, organizar y sirve.

Situated on the edge of the village of stoneykirk this small family owned hotel has a special once a month...

Esto se oculta un poco alejado, pero bien señal señalizado y vale la pena el desvío para tomar un bocado. El personal es amable y muy buena comida - un montón de casero opciones en el menú y cuidar de Basil Fawlty (en la mejor...

No había estado allí durante un tiempo por motivos personales, pero cuando volví me saludaron como si fuera un viejo amigo! Tuve mi favorito, cordero asado, menta salsa y todos los adornos. Pedí patatas y lo que es muy diferente de otros restaurantes. Para terminar me tenía pegajosa pudding toffees, que era una maravilla. ¡Sin duda volveré!

Buena elección en el menú, excelente relación calidad-precio, las porciones son muy grandes, ordenados por porción de patatas fritas y conseguimos una cesta de fichas que podrían alimentado 4 personas! La comida era muy buena y buen servicio. Le recomendamos reservar con antelación ya que suele ser muy concurrida

We have just stayed at Torrs Warren and had a lovely time. The dinner menu was great, plenty of choice for ourselves and our 2 children. We could not believe our eyes when a huge basket of chips were placed on our table! amazing value for money. We will definitely return.

We have just stayed for a week with Jim and Cindy at Torrs Warren and could not fault it. The room was spacious and well appointed with nice touches, the food was very good and very plentiful and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It is an absolute gem and exceptional value for money. Lots to do and see in the area, well worth a visit.

fantastic place set in the country side of stoneykirk the place is old and new great bunch of people that work and own the place rooms are basic updateding needed but clean warm and friendly jim the owner hes a great guy and dawn the head chef is superb at the meals and will cater to anybodys needs or dislikes of food even if its not on the menu the locals call in and make you feel welcome and part of the area which i really liked but the open fire place gives it a truely homely feel even if your a million miles away you feel relaxed and at home in this place will be back thanks guys. .

The problem with the Torrs warren is consistency. I`ve had great meals and extremely bland meals there. Sometimes its easy for chefs to disguise microwave food and sometimes it isn`t. Basic things like seasoning is overlooked. But all in all a decent enough place.

We visited Torrs Warren on a balmy summer evening and had a drink outside in the scenic and peaceful gardens before going inside to dine. We fully enjoyed our meals, great value for money and had good banter with Mine Host Jim. Friendly locals and residents too and we would highly recommend the Torrs Warren for a varied and value menu.

We visited on a weekday lunchtime and ate in the bar. Pleasant old fashioned surroundings and friendly service but food quality is lacking for the price bracket. Everything was plentiful and piping hot. We had the biggest basket of chips you've ever seen served between us but they were of the skinny frozen type. Our veg was frozen on the most part - if not all, but was nice enough. The breaded haddock was seriously overbreaded and concealed frozen fish which was a bit watery. With main course prices around £8.95, it just wasn't good enough. Huge portions again for dessert but didn't make up for the strange texture which, I suspect, owed much to a microwave.They do a two course lunch special at £10.95 which offers improved value but there are better places in the area in the same price bracket.
