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!

The potted crab starter was very good (perfect toast-to-crab ratio), as were the chicken & leek pie and Szechuan duck breast mains. The passion fruit & lemon posset dessert finished things off very well. Our little companion enjoyed her cheese burger & introduction to a physalis. Intimate atmosphere, good service (extra ketchup for the wean and a box to take the burger home in were no trouble) and the wine selection looked very good so a non-driving visit will need to be made in the future.

This is as good as it gets for good food in quirky comfortable surroundings…read more We first stumbled across the Old Bake House in August 2010 while riding the roads south of Edinburgh. We thought it was a cafe and were greeted by a gentleman in a tuxedo - most unnerving at midday when we walked in wearing motorcycle leathers. 'May I help you?', 'uh, yes, do you have a table?' (I thought that we may have stumbled into some private club by mistake!). 'do you have a reservation?' 'no'. i was still slightly gobsmacked by the tiny entrance, the guests waiting by the fire, reviewing the menu with an aperitif in hand and the tuxedo wearing gentleman with a mohawk offering us a seat. We fell deeply into the comfortable couch after stowing our helmets and jackets, reviewed the menu and were then shown through a small hallway, passed the kitchen to the back room - or, more accurately, rooms. Since then, we have walked through the same small hallway at least half a dozen more times, and taken many overseas guests to the Old Bake House. It is truly a hidden gem. Usually when I visit a restaurant over and over, I love to try different meals, but I find myself unable to order anything but the glazed salmon which has been cooked perfectly 4/5 times. Slightly over on one occasion but the rest of the meal made up for it. Desert is always delicious and the delightfully simple pear, walnut, blue cheese salad is usually our starter. On one occasion I had to order the chicken fajitas (because the salmon wasn't on the festive menu), and I was not disappointed - they were so good that I will have a dilemma next time we go back. What to order, the chicken fajitas or the salmon?? Ian often orders the Sunday roast and has sometimes been rewarded with double yorkshires! The food is great, the wine is good, the beer is good, the temporary staff are hit 'n miss, the full time staff are great, the ambience is good, making the journey to West Linton can be an adventure or a hassle - but all in all we have never had anything but a great experience.

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.

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.
