"On holiday in the area and found this place online for somewhere to eat. Menu looked great. Arrived and the impression we got with the mess around the building continued indoors. Lady who took us to our table was lovely but then it went downhill again quickly when we were given the menu definitely not what it was online). It was litterly falling apart and only a fraction of what was on the online menu. We ordered food and while waiting 2 women with 5 children came in. Noise from the children was heard as soon as they got to the front door. I don't believe any of the children were at fault as the women didn't try to get them to be just a little quieter they both just shouted louder to hear each other. Both my teenage daughter and I expected the waitress to ask them to maybe just turn the volume down just a little but it turned out she knew them and like the mums she just shouted louder to be heard! Food arrived hot. Steak pie was very tasty but pizza was the kind I can buy in supermarket for about 50p. Desserts of cheesecake and sticky toffe pudding both tasted odd. We didn't eat them and just left to get away from the noise. I totally understand the staff can't dictate who frequents their establishment but they could ask rowdy customers to lower the volume instead of shouting over them. Food was nothing to shout about and we left wishing we had just stopped at the local chip shop instead"

I could not rave about The Thistle Inn enough! The service was unbelievably amazing, the food was spectacular and the atmosphere was perfection. Our waiter set us up by the fire pit after our meal and took a small group to the bar to hand select some scotch. All of the staff were so friendly and our did every expectation we had. We cannot wait to go back!

As we walked in we did wonder what it would be like... seemed very quiet and no one was about. But, the staff were busy and soon came through and offered us a choice of places to sit. The menu was a little tired fresh prints or lamination would help but there was a good choice of food. Then it came, and some of the tastiest pub food we've had in a while. Good prices too! We took photos so you can decide for yourself. Will we be back? Yeah, I think we will View menu

we enjoyed our meal in the thistle inn very much. the parts were plentiful. we were very happy to get a decent amount of veg with our food too. desserts were delicious, and we were all happy. the only complaints I had were that we waited long to serve our drinks. we had already finished our appetizers before we were served our drinks, and the disabled toilet was not at all used for any disabled. it was used as storage room and was so full of dining chairs, they could not possibly come from the door to the toilet. in addition, we go back again, due to the delicious food compliments to the chef.

Locked up and nobody home. Booked a room through booking.com months in advance. Pictures looked good, clean and tidy wee place. Payment taken a few days before and everything appeared fine. How wrong was I. Confirmation emails and advert say check in from 3. Arrived at 3.15 and on pulling up already feared the worst. No car park, building looked run down (in need of more than a lick of paint) and in all honesty looked abandoned. On trying the door it was locked, and no sign of life anywhere nearby. Calling the number no answer but mysteriously recieved a text saying g they couldn't take our call. Text back to say I had a reservation for them to say they were open. Tried the door again but st...

"The Stables Bistro is located on Dumfries House estate, next to the café and a 5 minute stroll from Dumfries House Lodge. At the time of our visit it was only open on Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday lunchtime and therefore to avoid any issues we reserved in advance when we booked a room at the Lodge. The setting is unusual in that the tables are arranged within the “stalls” of the former stables although thankfully they have long since been “mucked out”! The decoration is plain. Our table for two was accommodated in one of the stalls with another couple’s table and there was plenty of room to spare. There were a few groups occupying some of the other stalls giving each party a private space and providing a good atmosphere. There was no dress code and most guests we saw were “smart but casual”. There was a choice of 4 items per course, all freshly prepared to order. I felt as if we could easily try any of the choices however for starters I opted for salmon pillows (stuffed with a trout mousse) whilst my wife had breaded stuffed wild mushroom with salad; for mains I had hake on a bed of spinach assorted vegetables, my wife had chicken with chive mash and vegetables and to finish we shared millionaire shortbread and then the Scottish cheese board. The dishes were all well presented, focussed on quality rather than quantity and were very enjoyable. With only a short stroll to our lodgings we enjoyed a couple of bottles of wine with the meal at around £18 each. Service was pleasant and efficient and our bill was £80, ex tip, but including the wine. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and would go back when we next visit Dumfries House. There is a toilet for disabled guests on the ground floor and the main bathrooms (very well maintained) are upstairs where there also appears to be a small function room."
