First time in this restaurant, really nice. If you like your meals with a bit of spice in them, this is a good place to go. Portions were very good as well, an enormous burrito for example. Salt and pepper Chicken noodles were excellent.

Popped in here while staying in Dumfries as I had been here before. The pub is nice, the staff are friendly and the food is decent pub grub. My main issue though was one of the servers not paying attention. There was a female server and a male server. My friends had finished their meals and I was still eating. The male server came over and took their plates away, leaving mine. This is something that annoys me anyway as you feel pressured to hurry and finish when you're the only one left with a plate. A short time later, the female server came over and asked if I was finished. It takes me a while to eat a meal due to illness and I was chatting to her and she was all "Don't worry about that, take as long as you like!. She was absolutely lovely. Unfortunately, shortly after, the male server came along and grabbed my plate and says "I'll just take that away for you". I had to quickly shout that I was still eating. He put my plate back and then took the pot of napkins. I said I still wanted to use a napkin but he'd gone already. How to go from a 5* review to a 3* review in two simple steps!

My friend and I stayed here for one night when we were walking the Annandale Way. Itâs such a friendly, welcoming hotel. My room was large, spotlessly clean, well equipped, and the bed was really comfortable. My friendâs was smaller and looked out on the car wash but it didnât bother her as it wasnât in use much. Both dinner and breakfast were excellent. We wouldnât hesitate to stay here again or to recommend it. We had a lovely stay.

Had originally booked this hotel for 2 nights but after sleep deprivation only stayed the one sleepless night.Please avoid room 4 which kept me awake with the continual humming sound of what I thought was the central heating or kitchen extractor fan.The next morning at breakfast, looking particularly bleary eyed I sat down for breakfast and was joined by another couple on the next table. After exchanging pleasantries Richard enquired how I had slept because he had previously had room 4 and didn't get a wink of sleep all night...same problem.I then spoke to the duty manager and asked if there was an issue with noise whereupon she admitted the late turn receptionist had forgotten to turn off the ice making machine, hence the noise.I enquired if there had been previous issues which she categorically denied but then had to eat humble pie when I mentioned Richard's story. A blatant liar.In conclusion I decided not to stay, received an apology but had to pay the full price ....disgrace.

We called in for a drink after visiting the Bladnoch Ddistillery across the road. The pub was very busy, which to me says it must be good. The young guy behind the bar had excellent local knowledge and was very polite when explaining local attractions.We really enjoyed our drinks/chat and we will definitely visit again.

Fantastic location right by the Solway Coast. Plenty of seats for indoor and outdoor dining. Cosy fires in the winter and very child and dog friendly. Locally sourced produce freshly cooked to order. Gem of a place.

We went to the Steamboat Inn last night for dinner - what a great decision!The menu is extensive and split into seafood and non-seafood sections. There is something for every taste and prices are very reasonable. The wine selection is good and again very well priced.Our food was beautifully cooked and presented.Service was excellent- fast, attentive and very friendly.The restaurant itself was very comfortable, spotlessly clean and the heat and aroma from the open log fire was great!This is clearly a very well run establishment where the owners take pride in providing a first class dining experience.Based on our visit, we have no hesitation in recommending the Steamboat Inn and we will very be returning soon.Well done and thank you.
