Just popped in for a drink and had a sociable evening with a very good craft beer. Lots of customers were having a meal which looked very good. Sadly we had already eaten so we could only watch.

Back for the Carvery for the 4th time and it never disappoints. Welcomed by an efficient, pretty, polite, front of house. Allan the Chef certainly does not hold back with the delicious meats ( Turkey, Beef and Ham) all cooked to perfection. The quality and quantity of the veg huge. As for the Yorkie, we did not know whether to eat it or move into it ( huge ) table service from a beautiful polite young lady, with a white clasp in her hair, all in all, this is prob the best Carvery in SW Scotland. Well worth our 90min round trip from Castle Douglas we'll done BB 5*

I didn’t sleep over so please don’t take the rooms into account in this review. However, I had a lovely dinner here after walking in when the place I was staying had a function on. Very nice! Very cosy! The waiting staff were polite and accommodating. Have some faith in yourselves, you’ve got this! Lovely menu, the pie could have done with a little more gravy but that’s my fault, I could have asked. Overall very nice dinner! Seemed very popular too!

Booked for the carvery for father's day. Had been planning to go with our older daughter as well but she had to work so called the day before to tell them it would just be the three of us. It was superb and well worth the trip. The staff were lovely, friendly and so helpful as we went with a weaning baby, so they brought out a highchair for us and offered to take away the plate they brought out for him as we'd taken one of his own so there was a little less clutter on the table for us, however we thought it was best to just put a bit on his plate at a time, we thought the offer was very attentive and accommodating. And they rinsed the plate and cutlery for us so it was easier to take home. The food itself was brilliant, we had the rainbow falafel and spring rolls to start, really tasty. Then the carvery was superb, you help yourself to veggies while the chef carves you the meat you request. I had some of everything as it all looked incredible, and it was. The beef was lovely and rare, the turkey was great and not overcooked like it can so easily be and the gammon was lovely and not too salty either. The Yorkie was superb, the stuffing ball, the veggies all beautiful. Went away absolutely stuffed and very happy. The bar itself is a beautiful setting and has a lovely feeling. Would absolutely book again.

It is a very welcoming and friendly pub. Has a good selection of beers,wine and spirits. Has a very good menu and the food looks very good. There is a nice outside sitting area. Plenty of tables inside. They are dog friendly. At busy times it would advisable to book a table if eating. There is rooms available but you would need to check their website.

We stayed at the BB for one night on our way to the Scottish Highlands. What a gem of a place for a stop over. Luckily for us it was a Sunday so we got to sample their carvery and it didn’t disappoint. Very dog friendly as we had our Poodle girls with us. Highly recommend.
