The best restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Came here for my 25th and we had a great time, staff are lovely and gave us plenty of advice on fun things to do like seeing the deer. We had a great time and they also do a fabulous pizza, the bar is gorgeous too.

Best Sunday roast I’ve had out in years. I would highly recommend. Melt in the mouth roast beef at a reasonable price . Book early as it’s always full. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Great views from restaurant,

Restaurant is amazing, with very excellent customer service also a postive vibrant atmosphere , and good choice of food. Definitely recommend!

Very enjoyable meal. Had chicken strips and veg with side order of chips. Very tastey. Waitress very helpful and friendly. Restaurant very clean and tidy.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights. The room was lovely, clean and tidy. We had the tea, coffee, milk and biscuits replenished every day. We had all of our meals here too which were all delicious and reasonably priced. The staff couldn't do enough for us and made us feel very welcome and we will definitely be back.

fantastic meal , we are the owners of the Gigha Cottage , Malcolm & Angie , I would suggest you order before you turn up for your meal to stop waiting time . we had mussels , scallops ,and tuna , and the best sweet i have ever tasted lemon meringue pie

Aye, could do with some money spending on it, really sad little place, such a shame as it has decent punters who would readily drink the place dry. There have been some attempts at upgrading but there is a long way to go!!

Stunning views. Amazing food. Friendly staff. Quick service. Incredible donuts! And..... Dog friendly! Hats Off,best cafe I've been to in ages. I even bought some of the local art on canvas. 🍾

Absolutely gutted to find this place had ceased trading, since our last visit in August 22. This hidden gem was part of our journey down south for the past 7 years, after stumbling on it by accident. It offered a hearty meal for a fraction of the price they charge, at a service station

Wonderful service , food was amazing , The staff were brilliant . the grounds looked from a different world , i shall be back in November .

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!

Visited for a family party that was being held in the hotel. We were made to feel so welcome. Staff are lovely and can't do enough for you. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Rooms were comfortable and immaculately clean. The function room was beautifully decorated and we had a brilliant time. I slept like a log and the breakfast was amazing! Highly recommended this lovely, friendly family run hotel. Can't wait to visit again!

We had the hotel breakfast as we were actually on our way to Cairnryan for the ferry. The breakfast was typical Scottish food served and cooked just fine. The hotel experience was very nice with all staff most helpful. One thing to note is that there is no taxi service on Sunday morning before 8:00 a.m. so if you have an early ferry there is no way to get there without a car. Later in the morning there is a bus service to the port area. The port area is about 15 minutes away by bus.

This cafe served the worst scone I have ever had / didn't have. (and that's saying something as I'm in my 70s and have had a few in my time. You could build a house with a few of them. Inedible expensive rubbish. It came in a paper bag, no plate and a wooden disposable knife which struggled to cut it. The coffee was served in a paper cup. But was drinkable. Cost over £13 for two coffees and two inedible scones. I am disgusted and will definitely won't be back

I usually enjoy eating here but my last visit was a bit uncomfortable.The waitress was friendly and took our order quickly.After a while our food was served which was fine but 5 minutes later and no sign of our drinks.I called to the waitress who looked like a rabbit caught in headlights and she asked a colleague to bring us our drinks.I wasn't rude but i think she was a little upset as she spoke to her boss and she was gesturing and glancing in my direction.Not sure if i want to go back.
