The best restaurants in Annandale East and Eskdale Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

The best coffee in Langholm can never just one cup though. Our second visit this month, last time we had lunch which was lovely, chilli wrap. This time we just had coffee and a shortbread biscuit for Alfie the dog. Very friendly attentive staff. Fully reccomend.

Home bakery shop run by local lady, supplying a tasty range of products, very friendly courteous service, well worth a try if in town.

Estábamos en nuestro camino de vuelta a Escocia y pasamos por este camino, un poco de la ruta habitual. Buscando en línea en el mapa parecía que había muy poco en el camino de lugares para parar a comer algo y luego de repente encontramos la cafetería de la vieja escuela. Es un maravilloso hallazgo, le ofrecen un servicio a la zona y actúa como un centro para eventos sociales (por el calendario que juding se veía muy atractivo, pescado y patatas fritas y juegos de mesa o de una comida mexicana!). El servicio era muy amable y la comida era muy buena, tenemos la sopa de almendras con un sándwich. Hay juegos de mesa, revistas e incluso un bombín por si acaso son ciclismo! En el futuro me gustaría ser muy contentos de tomar el desvío a la carretera este a visitar de nuevo. Merece la pena quedarse en si estás en la zona.

Delicious coffee and exquisite cakes, also serve soup and homemade sausage rolls. All served by the ever helpful and smiling Carol & Nigel. Lovely gardens to walk around.

What a lovely group of people offering a fantastic service. Food was excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend.

From check in to check out, we experienced 1st class attention. Food in restaurant was great and good value. Loved how quiet it was despite being close to a busy road. We will certainly come back to this hidden gem.

The room and the service was spot on, absolutely fantastic. Parking was round the back then a short walk to the front. Beware in winter months as it's dark walking round. I can't comment if there is a lift but I didn't see one. Breakfast was lovely but my only negative was the portion size was small for what it cost, personally.....but, it was absolutely delicious. This hasn't impacted my 5 star rating as the place was just so lovely and accommodating and felt very peaceful.

Great team providing a quality service, stayed for 3 nights and thoroughly enjoyed it. Nice menu and all prepared and presented nicely, all our group commented on how good the food is. Langholm is a nice friendly town and well worth a visit.

We had a superb midweek supper here with friends in November. Bit of a trek from Dumfries but well worth the visit, and even closer to the M74 for anyone travelling up to Scotland in need of a refreshment. The haggis bites were delicious and the lamb kleftiko simply melted in the mouth. Their Chilean SB was extremely gluggable and very reasonably priced. Abbey and Jack were the best hosts. Highly recommended.

Delightful cafe with cheery service and good quality good value food, an excellent alternative to motorway service stations which would have been our other choice on our journey to Scotland. Well worth the short detour.

Lovely cafe and great welcome. Food delicious and nicely presented. Don’t normally have a pudding but the home made apple pie with lots of custard superb. Just found on passing by on the A7 as saw nothing in Hawick. Will definitely return and tell my friends in Dumfries and Carlisle.

This is always our go to place now when visiting Gretna. Fabulous service and welcoming atmosphere. The tables are always clean, the staff always pleasant and the food always great quality, and don't get me started on the mochas and pastries!

Arrived without booking, as we were unfamiliar with the area, and although the restaurant itself was full, we were generously offered a table, albeit in the bar area, which we were happy to accept. It would have been quite possible that we might have had slow service, even forgotten, but nothing of the sort; we were promptly seated with menus, our orders taken, and our meals served, all without undue delay by friendly restaurant and bar staff. The food was simple but delicious and perfectly cooked, in generous portions, and all concerned should feel proud of their contributions to such an excellent experience. Bravo!

En route to Samyeling Temple we stopped for lunch and had viewed their type of menu on web, but did not realise that the Sunday Roast Lunch was to be booked, and it was very busy. We managed to get a table but there was not enough of the roast dinner to go around but offered us soup which we were grateful for as don't think there are any other places to go for lunch near hand? My parsnip soup was lovely but my sisters vegetable and red lentil she tasted had a sour taste and I had to agree with her so she spoke to a waiter who offered to change it to the parsnip soup which was a good outcome. Lovely two slices of brown bread and two butters but I opted for the cheese scone, a wee bit dearer, but I must say was very good indeed. Usually cheese scones are not cheesy enough for me but this was good and they agreed to warm it through for me. I complimented the chef who made them who was very humble. We did not realise this is more of a community hub and not just a cafe, which must be great for the immediate locals with a place to go. It sounds an interesting place and stop off point for cyclists. Would definitely recommend going here, accept what they have to offer and enjoy.

Family orientated and a very friendly cafe. Just happened to chance upon this place whilst passing through. Good speedy service -enjoyable teas and coffees and breakfast rolls that were particularly good. Will keep this place on the "stop off" list when passing through Langholm again.
