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.

Amazing customer service. I can't speak for the hotel itself, however I couldn't make the original date booked, so the hotel went out of their way to contact me themselves when I was waiting to hear from Hotels.com, and were so accommodating. Very impressed with this level of communication and friendliness 👏

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!

We were made to feel really welcome. The staff were really friendly, they engaged with my two kids and made them feel properly part of the dining experience.

Popped in for a Sunday Guinness to find everyone tucking into ENORMOUS Yorkshire puddings stuffed with braised beef, roast spuds, veg and gravy. We succumbed to the glorious smell of the food and it beat us, hands down, great food, great service. The two girls working in there are gold dust, give them a raise!!

popped in for a breakfast and a catch up with a mate , had all day breakfast , very tasty just what was needed , excellent service , will be back .

What a lovely friendly, clean place to call in for a coffee, We were served by a lovely young girl called Mia, We will definately be back

Always a lovely trip here. Ordered the stack wrap and chips and a ham salad. Food was fantastic and looking forward to visiting again in the spring :)

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.

We booked a table although as it was Tuesday it wasn’t necessary. My husband immediately ordered the steak and stout pie, I had pork medallions. If you don’t enjoy a plateful- don’t bother. We were hungry and we enjoyed the well cooked well presented meals we got I started with sweet potato and roast pepper soup- hot hot temperature and my husband finished with a cheesecake pudding. We were waited on by a most charming young Moroccan man; cheerful and efficient and a pleasure to chat to. A very pleasant evening out
