The Selkirk Arms Bar, Bistro and Restaurant in Dumfries & Galloway

Food has gone up market. Good quality though the light lunch options were limited. Good vegetarian choices. Great staff.

Four of us went for a dinner to celebrate our wedding at the nearby Registry office. Everything was perfect - a great menu with freshly-cooked, delicious food, including veggie and vegan. Despite a busy dining room, the staff team were attentive and friendly, the service couldn't have been better. Thank you for a memorable evening.

6 of us had the Valentines taster menu and it was superb, very well cooked and excellently served with champagne & wines to compliment the meal an extra but well worth it.

Everything from our arrival to our departure was fantastic. The receptionist was extremely friendly as was Chris the owner who showed us to our room. The room was lovely, well appointed with the most comfortable bed. We chose the Valentine's menu with wine flight. The food was amazing, wine was delicious. We've been to many Michelin Star restaurants and the food at the Selkirk Arms was on a par if not better than some we've visited. Breakfast was fantastic. The serving team are a credit to Chris, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. We can't wait to visit again. Thank you.

We had Sunday lunch here yesterday. We were slightly unprepared and hadn’t booked a table in advance, we did however, phone ahead of our arrival to check that they had space and booked a table for our arrival in 15 minutes time. On arrival we were greeted by a very pleasant young lady who led us through to the booking system where we were “met” by the manageress who kept her back to us whilst barking that we were the table that had only just booked. We ordered lunch, deciding to opt for main courses and then dessert. Our food arrived and was very nice. However, we were then made to feel even more unwelcome when a gentleman, who appeared to be the owner, entered the dining room and took the time to go around every table welcoming everybody and checking everything was ok, only to get to our table to completely ignore us without even an acknowledgement of our presence, the only table in the dining room to be completely ignored. Nothing like being made to feel so unwelcome to completely put you off your lunch. We promptly asked for our bill and left, deciding to go for dessert elsewhere. As our faces so clearly did not fit, we’ll be sure to take our custom elsewhere in the future.

I spent the weekend here with my husband and dog. It was a fantastic hotel and the food was amazing. All staff at polite and friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again.

This is a wonderful place to eat. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. The food was delicious and just a general lovely night. Will definitely be coming back!!

The whole experience from start to finish was an absolute delight: attentive but unobtrusive service, pleasant surroundings (we ate in the bistro bar) and the best food I've had in a long time - could not fault it. Can highly recommend.

We went for a meal to this wonderful restaurant, greeted by the friendliest of staff. Our meal was one of best we have had in years, from the scallops, the lamb and finished off with a superb apple & blackberry crumble tart. Could not fault anything, truly a 5 star experience. They even gave my partner a birthday card and candle with desert.

Wow! Great, fast service, and most importantly...DELICIOUS LEMON MERINGUE PIE!!! Maybe one day I can sit down and eat there, it's a cute diner style restaurant with an outdoor patio
