"We were on a family day out and had just visited the amazing Dalbeattie Museum (can’t recommend this enough! and were recommended the Granite Kitchen as a lunch option. The restaurant itself has a cosy atmosphere. We were welcomed to a table and given menus. The waitress, who was lovely, came to take our order and we asked for the soup and sandwich deal from the menu. I’m not sure if it was the cook or the owner, but a lady came from the kitchen area and told us in a very stern tone there would be no soup as ‘it’s summer, and too hot for her’. Given that we were asking for something that was listed on the menu we were a bit taken aback by her attitude she made us feel like we’d asked for slugs on toast and the other people in the restaurant turned to look at the table as they too had been surprised by her tone. Given that soup and a sandwich takes up at least a third of the menu and also that we hadn’t been told there were any changes to the menu we were really surprised at her attitude and it made us feel really uncomfortable. We had two young children with us so took another look at the menu and decided to opt for the fish and chips. To which the cook/owner lady came to announce there was ‘NO FISH!’ (Which ruled out most of the rest of the menu! The lovely waitress looked a bit embarrassed by her attitude and it was an all round awful experience. Maybe they were having an off day, but they absolutely need to work on their customer service skills. The waiting staff should be versed on what is/isn’t available and there is NEVER a need to make someone feel uncomfortable for ordering something which is quite clearly listed on the menu. There are lots of lovely eateries nearby and I would recommend giving this one a miss."

We called in for some lunch, two of our party have a learning disability. The waitresses were very rude and clearly didn't appreciate our custom, despite the fact we spent almost £50.

Stopped off for lunch after walk in Dalbeattie Town Woods. Substantial well cooked meals for a very reasonable price and good service. Popular spot with local students which in itself is a good recommendation. Popular venue.

Although we were only in for a quick snack once we saw the cakes we could not resist. We had a chocolate orange cake, a red velvet cake and a rainbow cake and they were among the best we have ever had. The service was excellent and it is clear not only that this cafe is very busy but they had a great rapport with their customers.

Very odd. Chef lady was abrupt and rude to our family. When we asked for two children to split an adult main course (they didn 't do it on the kids menu), we were told we 'd have to pay extra for another empty plate. Never had this in a cafe before. You 're doing me out of a meal was the reason. Then the lady got ruder as we chose to leave. Then she sort of apologised and then started mouthing off again. Weird. Bit embarrassing to be honest. Will not be back. Ever. And we are locals. Luckily lots of nice places nearby. With friendly staff.

"My wife found this when looking for a place for us to spend our wedding anniversary. It sounded good on paper. It was a long and tedious drive for us though and I wasn’t sure it was worth it. I was totally wrong! This place is superb and well worth any drive! The setting is great-it has its own beach and there is a small patio where you can sit and there is a heater there too if you need it. There’s a nice lawn in front of the hotel too where those with dogs took them for a walk. The rooms are all different and all well appointed with their own en suite. The costs of the rooms reflects the size of the room and not the facilities. If you are tall like me (6ft 2) I wouldn’t go for one of the rooms in the roof as the coomb ceiling is a pain. However the thing you go there for is the food and that is sublime! It is a set menu in the evening which reduces waste and helps control costs. You get 7 courses, all quite small , but at the end of the meal you are adequately fed but not full. We were there for 3 nights and had a different meal every night. All the dishes were superb but we had mushroom soup one night and it was the best soup I have ever tasted! In fact it was one of the best foods I have ever tasted! The breakfast is very good indeed and you can order whatever you like from the menu which is very comprehensive. I found that set me up for the whole day and I didn’t need a lunch. I must also mention the wine. The wine list is very comprehensive with some difficult to come by wines in it too like Chateau Musar. On 2 nights we went with the wine pairing list which I thought was very good value, especially the cheaper of the 2 lists we had every night. The hotel is a good centre for seeing things in the local area and , despite going in November we found things to occupy ourselves for the 3 days we were there. They have various themed weekends too which sound brilliant. But the hotel is so good it is worth going to anytime. We will certainly be back."
