"So we were on holiday and decided to eat out. This was first place we seen. We got seated and started looking through menu. Unfortunately the vinegar bottle caught my eye due to a number of flies floating around the top great for scaring the kids with though. We asked for this to be replaced for which we also got an apology from the polite waitress. Tables felt sticky (so kept elbows off), paper towel holding cutlery was also sticking to table. At this point we did think about leaving but decided to give it a go as it had received good reviews previously and we had ordered some drinks. I moved my foot and felt water splashing everywhere so I look down and low and behold a dog bowl full of water was on the floor just what I’d expect. Looking up towards the bar area a dog could clearly be seen in kitchen area which was visible from our table. Unfortunately I am not one of the contingent who feel dogs should share the same rights privileges and hygiene practices as humans within a food serving kitchen. So anyway ordered Nachos for the kids. About 20 minutes later could see a member of staff come back from coop with a bag of Doritos ! Surely a coincidence ? We also ordered pizza for the kids. Low and behold, half an hour later seen a member of staff come back from coop with a pizza! Had to wait an hour for the food to be served which was ridiculous food didn’t taste bad but wasn’t particularly pleasant considering chips were pretty much all undercooked (I noticed this also in another review), and batter on fish was undercooked. All in all, 62 pounds in total which wasn’t worth the money. Food wasn’t terrible but not great, terrible hygiene with flies in the vinegar, and the dog issues. Going out to coop and buying the food we were ordering was also really poor. Won’t be going back. Cobwebs however would probably be an accurate description of the business."

On the positive side, the service was friendly. The rest was very disappointing. I had a black coffee and a scone with butter, both of very mediocre quality. The price for this was £5.90, extremely poor value for money.

Popped in for lunch on a whim. Traditional Scottish lunch fare which was very tasty. Staff were exceptionally friendly particularly I’m assuming the female manager/owner who was a lesson in great customer service. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £10–20

Oh dear. Well, your staff are just lovely. Three stars just for them. One of the friendliest welcomes I’ve encountered anywhere. But congrats for inventing the worst steak pie in scotland: one wee square of pastry afloat like the raft of the medusa on a sea of lumpy grey-brown slop. the weirdly multi-coloured chips looked to be the veterans of several campaigns. None of you would eat that tasteless muck at home; why are you serving it here?

Very confused at the good reviews and unfortunately for us we ate here based on them. Our experience did not match at all. Like one previous reviewer, flies were still in the vinegar pots. A clear sign of basic lack of hygiene. Lack of vegetarian options. Chicken burger was just that, fried chicken in a tea cake. No salad or dressing. I had scampi which was basic frozen food reheated. Drinks were forgotten, tea was insipid. Atmosphere was totally absent. We ate what we could, paid and left. Not for us.

Absolutely fantastic food was lovely never mind the review above. Fruit flys are a massive problem in the summer they live in my vinegar bottles back home the staff sorted it as he said. I think he needs to remember it's rural also in these areas so places may be different back home. Anyway my son had the chicken burger and chips. Loved it home cooked he is fussy! My partner scampi and soup to start he loved it. And he is fussy also. Daughter had chicken strips to start and macaroni from kids menu and chocolate cake brilliant price for kids) She ate it. I had chicken strips to start lovely and the steak. Server was lovely. 10/10 will be back next time we are down at caravan. Thank you for a...

"Visited the Cree Inn one year ago at same time of year with my partner. We had an amazing experience. Waiter and chef were so warm and welcoming and the food was delicious, especially the homemade cheesecake. We ended up staying after dinner and having more drinks in the bar because it was so nice. However we returned this year and were so disappointed. Was unsure of serving times so called the restaurant during the day and was advised stop serving at 8.30pm. We arrived at 8pm (having worked in the catering industry prev I know this isn't an ideal time however we were on holiday and time got away it shouldn't have effected service). We were served by a young lad who had no customer service skills and looked like he would rather be anywhere else. We were the only two people in the full restaurant. He then advised us about all the menu options that were not available, which left little to choose from. I advised I would probably just have a starter and desert, while my partner finally decided on a starter and one of the burgers with all the extras. Waiter then came back and said no burgers available. At that point fed up with the negative atmosphere and limited food choice, we decided to just order two starters and then head somewhere else. We got two drinks and two desserts costing only £22 whereas had the service been the same as before and food items actually on the food menu that were advertised we would have easily spent upwards of a £100. When we come back next year we will not return."
