The best restaurants in Lowlands

Lovely coaching in on the outskirts of Edinburgh. Steeped in History and the staff and setting fantastic. Food was five stars and very reasonably priced

Stayed for two nights with my wife and thoroughly enjoyed it. Stayed in the oak room which was lovely room. The bed was a little soft for my liking, (but as I’m not a complete wet wipe and it’s practically impossible to keep every different type of mattress, I managed) The room had a balcony which was a lovely place to stand in the morning and have a coffee. The breakfast (cheese and croissants, yoghurt, and cereal) was more than adequate and a nice light start to the day. We didn’t eat here the first night as we went to the Indian a few doors up, but enjoyed a few drinks in the bar, a lovely pint of Estrella, and my wife enjoyed sampling a few of the cocktails. The second night we ate in the bar, and must admit after reading some of the whinging reviews on here, I wasn’t expecting too much. I ordered the house burger and it was fantastic, not too big, the meat was delicious and came with a larger than average portion of fries. The bar had a good atmosphere., and the locals were very friendly. I read some of the reviews and honestly don’t know what some people are thinking sometimes. Most of the complaints seem like a “you problem” it’s a fantastic little hotel and would highly recommend staying here again.

Closed when Google says its open.

Visited this takeaway as has good review on this site,ordered chicken fried rice,salt and pepper ribs and chicken curry with fried rice. In area I live the chicken curry just has onion in it but this had carrot and peas.ribs tender and tasty but chicken fried rice very pale and yellow looking asif fried in butter and not alot of chicken.wouldn’t return if in the area again

Had g/f fish and chips and they where nice sx

Fish and chips were quite tasty BUT ridiculously overpriced and extremely small portions. Almost felt conned. I say this review with respect, don't raise your pitch forks at me. Just sharing my thoughts.

Food was good, service was fab, and the pub has a cosy vibe.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay, lovely staff, great food , room was excellent most comfy bed ever and oh my goodness that power shower was the best ever .100% recommend this place.

Love this place. Food and service always spot on. The chef here is particularly good with salmon dishes. I had the salmon with dill sauce. Massive portion and cooked to perfection.

Updated review: We had high expectations but our meal was somewhat spoilt by being given the wrong order. Two of our party ordered beef bourguignon pie but instead were given chicken balmoral pie, without being told!! We spoke to the waitress later who said she didnt know it hadn't been mentioned to us when we'd ordered and was sorry. Staff were nice but stretched on a busy Saturday evening and the manager was not able manage the restaurant as he was running the bar instead. The food was good, although pie portions were quite small. We had actually booked a table in the pub but luckily they'd a made a mistake with that too, as we.found the pub had a strong doggy smell when we left. The restaurant is very pleasant though. When we paid the manager asked if we'd enjoyed the evening and was told that 2 of our group were given the wrong food but again just a quick sorry and no offer of complimentary coffees or money off. Traquair Arms later contacted me after reading my review and sent a £25 voucher as an apology. It was a nice gesture and appreciated!

Excellent service- a group of 8 we thoroughly enjoyed our tapas - very good menú & sizeable portions - lots of choice food served quickly , lovely hot dishes good cocktail menu

As I have a disability the staff were very accommodating to my needs and very polite

Stayed here for the night on 2nd November 2024 and what a lovely hotel for a reasonable price too! Mike ( the owner ) was such a lovely welcoming guy and very accommodating to me needing an earlier check in due to attending a wedding. The room was a lovely size and very clean! Hairdryer provided and a lovely selection of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits etc. very nice quiet location in Peebles too, not far of a walk to the main high street! Would definitely recommend!

Phoned delivery service 1 hour 20 minutes ago and they said they could deliver however they were busy (which was fine, we didn’t mind waiting) the phoned us after waiting 1hour 20 minutes saying too busy to deliver, absolutely shocking could have ordered els where!!!

Rice overcooked. Barely any curry sauce chips tasted like fish. There's better chineses in the town.
