The best restaurants in Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

Popped in for breakfast. 1 vegetarian and 1 Scottish. Plenty choices, great portions, tasty maple syrup pancakes and great service. Maybe a bit pricey at almost £20 but the food was good.

Lovely surroundings and staff are excellent. Only negative is limited menu but we both had the special which was excellent.

Great authentic food, excellent service, clean surrounds. Take your on wine if wanted. Watch out for automatic service charge. Would recommend.

Great atmospheric diner...very retro and great coffee. Good choice of ice cream and attentive staff...loved the old fashioned style.

Recently came here for coffee and pastry. Service was great, pastrie was good but coffee was terrible. Perfectly located right near the highway near the shopping center.

All the usual tourist stuff, with the accompanying prices, they do a nice range of sausage and the very illusive white pudding, this is very hard to get in England.

Really liked the decor and menu here. Funky and bright and lots on offer. The prices were reasonable. Although service a bit slow….we sat for about 8 minutes without cutlery, despite asking 3 people and our food getting colder and colder..

Today we visited and as it was a Sunday i decided on a chicken dinner,big mistake.Where do i start?Chicken was very dry and not hot,roast potatoes were small and hard,carrots were raw,parsnips were rock hard and had a bitter taste.Mash was tasteless and cauliflower cheese had a vague taste of cheese.The peas and yorkshire were ok but the latter was very small.My gravy was lukewarm so they kindly heated it till it was more like molten lava!I had to ask for napkins as apparently us customers cannot be trusted to use the dispensers!I wouldn't advise anyone to eat here,had an upset stomach all afternoon.

Love this place for a stop-off between Manchester and Glasgow! It's just lovely for lakeside stroll with soft grass to picnic on and paths to explore away from cars and roads.

We had 6x rooms booked for wedding including the Ash suite paid extra for family and guests fur a wedding the Ash suite there was no hot water for bath and patio doors blowing open and rattling all night. There where still gift left in cupboard from 60th party. We booked 2x dressing gowns and slippers and put on our bill but where not allowed to take them.rang reception said no hot water and attitwas couldn't care less re water or patio doors they also explained not to take dressing gowns as did not belong to hotel.. Reception staff very cold and uncaring it seen they have had your money and not bothered we where a small party for wedding but should be treated as well as a 200 party not looked down on like something they stood in .the ceremony at the gretna Anville was amazing couldn't fault it fool if laughter and fun but also very professional by all concerned even the piper was outstanding the meal was lovely but very very slow booked for2.30 started gone 3 two course took 2houes ..then had to chase staff for clearing tables as everyone was getting bored by the time we got to coffee and shortbread which was extra there was only 6 at the table

Worst food ive ever had in my whole trucking life. Don’t be mistaken by this Google map, it’s the takeaway opposite Dickies. Never wanted to punch such an arrogant member of staff in my life. Food is uncooked, no sauce offered on the kebabs, and in fairness ended up in the bin. Over priced crap!!!!

Eaten here 3 times every order was wrong, food was not as good as I expected, wont be back, pepes on the sands is lots better

Cute little place with a few tables inside and more outside with great views over Fleet Bay on the Galloway coast. Rather limited menu, mainly various hot or cold rolls which we found very good. Very adequate parking on the busy A75 road. We were quite surprised to find they even had toilets. We were very impressed with our visit and would recommend it as agreat wee rest stop if travelling this way.

Amazing location just to the side of the A75 near Castle Douglas. Perfect spot to take a breath, enjoy the view and also the good coffee and flapjack that they serve. A great little find.

I usually head for Stranraer every 2weeks ish and always head for the coffee bean as well as it being the best breakfast in Stranraer it's very friendly staff and quality of food make it a must. I'm always here for breakfast which is amazing never any complaints there's even the daily special scones well worth trying
