The best restaurants in Lochar Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

The food was so lovely and great value for money.. and the people are very friendly. Will definitely be visiting again and absolutely recommend!

Me and my wife visited Dalscone farm, from the USA and the owner of the farm advised us to eat at the restaurant, for both of our food was so amazing(very/very great) service/facility was also great, best food we've had away from the states, too bad can't stop in all the time, maybe be next time, keep up the awesome work.

As reviewed by so many others, this was a fantastic dining experience. Our food was very good indeed and the service from this family business was excellent. Recommended if you are in Dumfries!

Food very delicious, service excellent, atmosphere great. All in all a great Italian meal in great surroundings. We will return

Really beautiful hotel. The Torr kindly hosted a funeral tea for our family and were so welcoming. The food was lovely (especially the sausage rolls!), and the service was excellent.

We visited The Steamboat for the 1st time on 3rd May 2025, what a lovely place to visit with stunning views over the solway firth. The service and food was fantastic.

Wonderful and welcoming wee cafe within Gracefield Arts,lots of space between tables. Managed to grab a pot of tea, and homemade mint rocky road before it closed. Lots of delicious looking cakes on offer, very good value and affordable prices. Was able to dry off after a downpour, and not rushed. Then was able to visit the exhibition and look around the shop, which was full of lovely local crafts, good quality art cards and gifts

Short weekend break at this lovely hotel, the food was great in the bar which is the same menu as in the restaurant, good breakfasts too, lovely hosts that looked after us very well thanks for everything.

Have been several times lately and always impressed with the friendly efficient service. just a nice size of cafe.Good value breakfasts.

Lovely and warm, friendly staff and decent prices

Good pub, Good service, Can't comment on food never tried it

I order from Phoenix regularly, always friendly service from Lisa, the Peking Chicken is really good as is the Chicken Fried Rice and Garlic Chips. We usually get the same meals so haven't tried alot of the food.

had a lovely couple of meals here food was excellent good price and plentiful the service was great and staff very friendly

I regularly go to Lockard's Farm for Lunch. I have got used to an excellent service. The staff are all highly trained and very professional. The quality of the food is very good. On this occasion I was served by Mackenzie. I could not fault the service she provided. She even found me the cool spot I requested and opened a window to provide more cooling! Thank you Mackenzie. A five star performance. A highly recommended restaurant.

Tired, dated cheap rooms badly in need of a lick of paint and makeover. Mattress rock solid. Terrible. Get what you pay for I suppose although I've stayed in infinitely better Premier Inns over the years.
