Now it has metamaphorsed into a lovely, elegant diner and bar . The food was great , I had a crab linguine and my companion had a veggie pasta dish . Both were very good , served with some garlic bread and salad on the side. There is a cocktail bar situated at the entrance which has a good selection of beer on draught and wines . We actually were tempted back the following night with a group of friends to see if the standard was the same . Thankfully it was and everyone in the party enjoyed a high standard of food and service .

All in all i would highly recommend this little gem of a place to any passers by, it's literally 2 minutes off of the M74, if you do decide to stop in you certainly wont regret it! This is now in my notes and I'll be nipping in for sure next time I'm passing! NOTE; we did not stay the night in a room however if they are anything compared to the rest of the inn then they will be excellent!

This restaurant was recommended to us by the local shop keeper. We had planned to eat in (Galloway…read moreArms Hotel) but they have been taken over and now stop serving food at 2 :'( Anyway! We only wanted a quick snack to keep us going. This resteraunt is huge! It's right on the waterfront and there's an outdoor eating area& a bar too. There's also accommodation here too. So ..the menu was pretty extensive ranging from all day breakfasts, traditional dishes , international meals &a blackboard with specials. They also cater well for children . We decided to have a snack, a bacon roll and sausage roll which were just busting with sausage&bacon! We also had a portion of chips, we were going to have a portion each ,but the waitress warned us they were large (kind of her) so decided just to go for the one.And a large pot of tea. It all came to £11 ,which we thought was good value. The service was fast and waitress polite. We came here low season and was quite quiet. You can imagine this place buzzing in the summer. Next time we're down this way we'll definitely pop in for dinner.

As we walked inside we found the right space was packed with locals at the end of the working day. The cask ales (a variety of yummy local brews) came quickly as did our meals. The fish and chips were big and hearty as was the chicken fillet my brother ordered. I noticed that a young lady near us seemed to have some piece of more gourmet fare. This was just the experience we were hoping to find: busy and unpretentious (although the wifi password was painted in handsome script above a doorway). If we didn't have to get back on the trail we'd probably come back another day.

It as a good few mins before the manager greeted us, and as it was busy in the bar and we said we would go straight to our table and order a drink whilst we perused the menu. Again it was quite few mins before we ordered 4 Peronis and a sparkling water. We waited a further few mins before we were given menus, and at least 10 before our order was taken (still no drinks) . We eventually got the drinks after about a 20 min wait, and some 30-35 mins after we first arrived. Not good enough. Food arrived and was generally of a good standard, and enjoyed by my guests. Only quibble was I thought my Gigot of Lamb rather on the tough side. Good selection of wines, though we chose more medium priced ones rather than cheap ones. The 'Big Ass' Cabernet Sauvignon was excellent, and we enjoyed the St Veran also. Bill was £211 for five. (But the wines were about £54) I would go again but they need to get their act together from a service point of view , and have sufficient staff when theyre busy. Since I guess most people will book , they should know what to expect.
