The main road heading to or from Central & West Scotland is the A74(M) which eventually becomes the…read moreM6 just south of Gretna. 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!

The menu includes thick cut filet steaks with wedge potatoes and salad. They also have haggis bon bons that were scrunchy and creamy in taste.

I opted for a Thai red curry with jasmine rice, and was really impressed... one of the nicest Thai curries I have had (outside of a Thai restaurant in a long time). My other half went for a vegetarian option from the Daily Specials board - wild mushroom, spinach, and caramelised onion crepe, with ratatouille and fondant potato. This was presented beautifully and was so tasty. Definitely one of the best vegetarian options I have tried in a while. As for desserts, I would have liked to have seen a lighter, fruit-based option, so decided against a dessert. However, my dining companions all ordered desserts and were suitably impressed. If you are looking for somewhere to have a special meal, luck or evening, I don't think you could go wrong with The Cobbles, Kelso.

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!
