The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

They ruined this bar years ago when they ripped the old bar out but it's still a decent pub. W worth a visit 100%

Could be a very nice place to be if it only provided a quality, attentive and a warm customer experience. Gentleman (owner) seemed very pleasant but female waiting staff had faces tripping them, doing no more than absolutely necessary. Extremely disappointing that an established Ayrshire hospitality business does not get the basics of good customer service, letting down the chef and kitchen staff giving poor service without a smile, apparently unable to make people feel welcome. I wouldn't recommend unfortunately...please train your waiting staff to endeavour to make everyone's visit a pleasant experience. This should be easy...otherwise people there have become extremely complacent & are in the wrong job. Your job would be so much more enjoyable if you took some pride in providing a warm, happy table service and pride in your work.

Recommended for friends, family and work stopover. Comfortable with good food and best of all very quiet. We are a group of pilots who landed our small aircraft on the Air strip at the front of the hotel and were treated very well by the proprietor and his staff. Thank you for a lovely visit.

Come for the safe most weeks. Staff very friendly.

Such a great spot for coffee, the most delicious cakes and healthy porridge breakfast bowl. Also cater to kids with the biggest portion of homemade waffles

Great welcome. Lots of outside tables in the current sunshine. Afternoon tea, dinner and breakfast all delicious. Dog friendly. Good size car park and nice view of fields and hillside. House martins nesting, crows crowing and a nice lane and path to Oxton for a dog walk. Only downside is daytime traffic noise but this will improve as we electrify transport! On the other of that it is very convenient for the A68 as a pit stop!

Our first family visit to a Thai restaurant, the food was fantastic, very authentic. We shared a starter platter and then had main meals. All delicious. Service was friendly but as it was getting busy with walk ins and take aways they were often a little distracted. The garden area was beautiful and would definitely recommend booking a table out there for the evening. Remember in Thai time food is not a fast experience, one to relax and enjoy!

Excelente servicio y menú. Personal muy acogedor. Muy limpio y limpio. Admite perros. Merece la pena una visita en cualquier día que esté abierto.

Lovely hotel with very tasty food. Decor in the hotel was lovely and the rooms were comfortable. The parking at the hotel did not seem too safe as it was to the back of the hotel and could be accessed by public during the night. The staff were really friendly and there was a fast service. I would recommend this hotel

NOW THE COSY KITCHEN 👍 Lovely friendly new owner New fresh Decoration Food great menu varied & simply go to desk to order

Best bakers in the Scottish Borders, their apples pies are absolutely delicious. In fact anything you buy is lovely highly recommended.

I am so disappointed in our visit as we were really looking forward to a nice lunch and a catch up. We arrived to be presented with the Grotto Christmas menu, not what we were expecting, and at no time was I informed this is what the menu would be!! I asked if this was all that was available, and was told yes. We were hoping for a sandwich and on a website menu noticed Croque Monsieur, Eggs Royale or Eggs Woodland was offered, which we were looking forward to. Instead we ended up with Chicken terrine which arrived with limp rocket and a very small piece of toasted bread. We were asked if we wanted sauces, with hindsight a drop of something might have helped. This was quite tasteless, and in no way looked appetising. Fortunately we ordered curly fries which kept us going. My booking form has a spot for menu, which when you look at only takes you to customer reviews. If I had been aware this menu was what we would have been offered, I would not have booked. We have visited twice before, once for lunch, which we have a favorable memory of, and last year for afternoon tea at Christmas so we had a reasonable idea of what to expect. Needless to say we did not stay for coffee or dessert. And at 4p short of £20.00 it was an expensive disaster.

Was disappointed last time I was here and tonight was not better, while the fish was goof the chips were very poor about 40% were inedible. It’s been about six years since I was last there and I can’t see me returning again. It’s shame to see such a well known place going down hill.

El Hotel es una pasada, muy bonito. Unas vistas increíbles y todo lo que le rodea es muy bonito.Cenamos genial y luego tienen el bar que está para tomarte algo y no cierra tan temprano como en casi todos los bares de Escocia

Booked a two night stay with our dogs. Staff were super friendly. Rooms basic but spotlessly clean. Good selection on continental breakfast. We didn’t eat as we were visiting family but restaurant was reasonably busy. Couldn’t fault and will b back soon.
