Climb the stairs and and go to the nice intimate restaurant on the second floor. The night we ate here was very light with customers so we had time to talk to the waitress. We started with a bottle of south Australian Cabernet that was just excellent. Then we dove into the main course. For me it was the smoked haggis stuffed chicken with vegetables. My wife had the Cajun chicken dish. It took about 20 minutes because the Scottish chef had to make them from scratch. Both of our dishes were excellent. Even my wife told me to rate hers as a five and she rarely says that. We finished by sharing a dish with three types of ice creams, all made specifically for this restaurant. One was Scotch whisky flavored and that one was truly unique. I'm not sure we can do better than this dinner on the rest of the trip.

The staff are friendly and helpful and there's free wi-fi which is the icing on the cake! It was ideal, when we were away recently to nip into a Wetherpoon (or two) for lunch and to check the email situation! The exterior of the building looks tatty at the moment but that's because it has been stripped of paint to allow the sandstone walls to dry out after being in a derelict and completely saturated state before Wetherpoon took over. Apparently this could take a few years but then it will be spruced up and given some fresh coats of paint.

If you find yourself driving here, look out for a village called Lockerbie at J17. Instead of spending a fortune dining without ambience at a motorway services, do yourself a favour and stop at The Townhead Hotel instead. We did just that on the way up from Manchester recently and had a superb, revitalising meal after a testing day. My brother in law and I both had one of the homemade Buccleuch Beef burgers with Stilton served with beer batter onion rings, relish, coleslaw and deliciously crisp chips (fries). Very nice indeed, with a portion size for good, hearty appetites. My Mum, who is a starter fanatic, ordered the sharing platter for 2 as a main course and thoroughly enjoyed it. I've forgotten what my Sister ordered, apologies, but we all commented on how tasty our food had been. We were dining in the evening and there were small candles on the table, which made for a relaxing atmosphere. Declan our Waiter and Honor behind the bar were fun & attentive hosts. It was just what we needed as slightly weary travellers and gave us the impetus required for the last leg of the journey. I'd recommend a visit!
