National poet Robert Burns' favorite haunt.
Reviewed By johnbrucemullin
My wife and I attended a Burns Supper at the Globe last week and we both agree that it was one of the best evenings we have ever spent in our lives. The food was Michelin star standard and the service was attentive, efficient and, above all, friendly. The entertainment was first rate and the surroundings are unique - The Globe is in a tiny wynd (alley) and is the ancient inn beloved of Robert Burns himself. You can even see lines of poetry he scratched on the windows! The interiors have been lovingly restored, with no expense spared, to make a warm and cosy place where you can enjoy fine dining or just a quiet dram at the bar. The Globe really is the best that Scotland can offer in food, drink and conviviality.

Fantastic overnight stay , we were upgraded to executive suite as it was our 26th wedding anniversary on Wednesday 4th Dec when we won the competition, had dinner in courtyard bistro and were served by CAT and she was fantastic at her job , we had 2course from the festive menu , hubby had melon balls for starter and I had prawn cocktail and I must say it was the best one I’ve ever had ! We both had the roast turkey with all the trimmings , for two course it was only £19 each very good value or you could have three courses for only £22 , after our meal we went to the bar for a drink where we were served by DAVID the barman , very well entertained by his humour (what a bar needs ) , we then had a good blether with the DJ (dumfries DJ hire) very friendly guy who was playing upstairs at the Christmas party that was on ! Had a fantastic sleep in a very comfortable massive bed , went down for breakfast which was served in the courtyard bistro restaurant and we were again served by CAT , breakfast was absolutely amazing, plenty of choice etc ! We would certainly recommend staying at The Station Hotel and although we just stay 23miles up the road we shall certainly be back also a wee mention to Becky x
