The best restaurants serving British food in Abbey Dumfries & Galloway Lowlands

My husband and I had an evening meal at The Smithy with a couple of friends on Saturday evening. The meal was excellent, as was the welcome and the service. The menu was imaginative and the atmosphere was very good. We would certainly eat there again if in the area and would thoroughly recommend it.

Wow what an amazing lunch, visited today with the dog and everyone was so attentive. Food absolutely delicious, all cooked to order so a wee wait but you’d expect that. Plenty parking, staff superb, can’t wait go back again.

Great cafe in a rural spot. As we were a group of 16 hungry cyclists and hadnt received a warm welcome at one cafe, we rang ahead to be told, yes, they could accommodate us. When we arrived 25 minutes later, the owner had made a victoria sponge! The scones were the best we've had so far.

I love this place a very special restaurant with super friendly staff who give you a great welcome, we are locals who lunch regularly and the warm inviting atmosphere tops anywhere locally. Great presentation of home produced products , tasty and delightful also the farm shop with amazing products a true gem of a place in Dumfries and Galloway

My wife and i enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea at the Abbey Cottage today. The afternoon tea consisted of freshly made sandwiches of your choice , fruit or plain scone with clotted cream and jam and a choice of different sponge cakes along with a pot of tea. It may be advisable to book the afternoon tea in advance as we did. The Abbey Cottage has all the best attributes of a traditional tea room The staff were welcoming , conversational and friendly. The premises were very clean. The food itself was a treat. There is a convenient car park behind the cottage which also serves as the car park for the ruin of Sweetheart Abbey which is next to the cottage. In addition to the tearoom the cottage also has a shop selling locally produced goods. The Abbey cottage is very much worth visiting if you are in the area.

Stayed at Mabie House recently and enjoyed dinner and breakfast there. Excellent food, well cooked, well presented and reasonably priced. Would definitely visit again

Great food and friendly staff. They went out of their way to help you. I would recommend this place to anyone visiting the area.

What a lovely hotel just back from a long weekend there.with hubby and wee dog 🐕 staff so friendly and helpful.food top notch.lovely quiet rooms.just a peaceful place.beside the river

First time I've ever been refused coffee at a cafe! Walked in and asked for a coffee to take away and were told they are too busy and asked us to go to the food van round the corner.

We were planning to walk the Jubilee Path from Kippford to Rockcliffe, so we decided to fuel up with some coffee and cake beforehand. Dog friendly, cozy old pub.

Excellent meal. We had 3 courses and everything was beautifully presented, great quality and very tasty. The blue steak was especially good. Staff were friendly and helpful when we made a special request about seating. Definitely recommended.

Both had the fish and chips. It came quickly and was nicely cooked. The cheesecake dessert was delicious. Had two glasses of wine which was reasonably priced. The service throughout was very friendly. Overall good value and a good bar meal. We will come back.
