The best restaurants in Lowlands

Dropped in for cake... ended up with lunch. Yes there are plenty of cafes in Kircudbright but to be honest this place makes lovely fresh rolls (for just £2.50 each), and they make a mean coffee and hot chocolate. A lovely wee picnic lunch and yes we will be back!

Very disappointed. Lukewarm coffee, cold sausage rolls, very slow service. Redeeming feature, the delicious fruit scones. Tasty, fruity and enjoyable. Overall, overpriced and not impressed

We stayed for one night for our anniversary and had a lovely stay. The room was spacious and clean and had a great view south over fields and the bed was comfy and the shower was great. We had a drink before dinner with canapés which was nice and a lovely meal served by friendly staff. We had no complaints about anything at all, but we spoke to a member of staff to enquire about the situation with dogs in the hotel. We had been thinking of staying a few months previously and as it advertised as being dog friendly it fitted the bill, but we chose somewhere closer to where we were going, which turned out to have been a good decision. She said that dogs were not allowed in any of the public areas only in the bedroom and when you are eating the dog must be left in the car or the bedroom in the cage provided by the hotel. This would not have suited us, but it may suit other people, but anyone booking should be aware of this before they arrive. I would describe it more as dog tolerated than dog friendly and I understand the reasons for it, but it should be made clear by a description on the website.

Great little cafe. Excellent bacon, sausage, and egg role for the price. Coffee was ok. Opens early.

What a lovely hotel just back from a long weekend there.with hubby and wee dog 🐕 staff so friendly and helpful.food top notch.lovely quiet rooms.just a peaceful place.beside the river

Came to the caravan site for a couple of nights beautiful surroundings and castle, food was 10/10 pizzas were spot on, staff extremely helpful and friendly, bonus we could take our dog with us. Definitely be back soon

Amazing play area for children went with a family from Scotland for the week and came here. Was a amazing place Aware of allergies too

We were directed here by the Hotel next door who were not serving food till 5pm. We walked into this very old interesting church to be met by some very friendly locals who made us very welcome. The building is being renovated so don't expect to find a fully functioning café, They offered us a meal deal of soup and a roll, a slice of cake and a coffee for £5 it was all served very nicely by the locals. If your passing give it a try to support their work. The soup and cake was delicious and a bargain at £5.

Tried for the first time tonight. We had a mixed bag...tacos,pizzas,burger and chicken nuggets. All we could say was DELICIOUS! Our new favourite eatery.

Have been a few times and is always excellent. The mixed grill is superb. Have tried a few other dishes, sides and naans, all top quality and great value for money. the guys are always friendly and service is spot on. Highly recommended.

Fish and chips best I've had in a long time, lovely food, friendly welcome, if you are visiting try this place you won't be disappointed

Had a stop here during a day trip to the borders. My teen son had the big breakfast and everything was cooked perfectly. He highly recommends the sausages. I had an amazing coffee and was welcome to sit and relax, not rushed out. Dog was treated like a queen, they brought her a bowl of water and had treats for her. The value for money is phenomenal, the plate was full with really well seasoned food. It’s difficult to find places that welcome your dog so openly on a day out. We had no problem getting parked and were in walking distance of a lovely little park with a viewpoint over the river.

Visited Harestanes to do circular walk up to Waterloo Monument. Treated ourselves to lunch at the cafe afterwards … what a great decision! Lovely modern contemporary decor in keeping with the rural countryside setting. Fab menu - caters for vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free. Husband slightly disappointed at lack of meat but enjoyed his halloumi bagel and my cheese stuffed waffle was amazing. Would def recommend a stop here if in the area.

Very tasty food and no issues at all.

Pretty cafe with lovely food - very friendly and clean and the Viennese finger was the lightest, most delicious I’ve had in a while
