This is the place to go in Newton Stewart for a lovely meal - the atmosphere is warm, the service friendly, there is a huge choice of food on the menu, the portions are generous and the prices reasonable - it's head and shoulders above anywhere else for miles around, thanks to the fantastic chef in residence Ian Shankland.

We didn't stay in the Galloway Arms Hotel, but we were recommended to try from the owner of our B&B. We stayed in the area for 2 nights, and ate here both nights - the food was fantastic, and very reasonably priced (we ordered two drinks, two main meals and two desserts which came to less than £35 both nights)!...

First time in for a meal. Restaurant is nice but the burgers we had were not up to scratch.We ordered a Pork & Apple burger & a Mint burger. Both burgers did not taste like what we had ordered but edible. Also disappointing to see them served in a bun that you would normally see being served in the morning... More

After a wet and very damp day traveling; to walk into this hotel and receive a fabulous warm welcome, set the scene for a great evening meal. Fantastic portions served piping hot were greatly received. Service was friendly and helpful, the atmosphere was relaxed and unhurried. I had the Galloway beef and mushroom pie, absolutely delicious, with apple crumble and... More

Visited here for supper. Good that chice of restaurant or bar was given to eat meal. Staff were very pleasant and service was good. Food from a menu with a good selection was well cooked and presented. I feel that the food on offer was a bit overpriced and I found a similar mrnu elsewhere.in just as gpleasant premises.

We ate here whilst staying in Newton Stewart, as our hotel had a limited and unimaginative menu. The food was excellent, I can especially recommend the Locally Smoked Salmon (very minor quibble I would have preferred a few more oatcakes though). My wife also thoroughly enjoyed her food too. Will stay here next time

The highlight of this visit for me was the Carsluith Smokehouse Kipper served for breakfast, cooked to perfection, it was full of flavour. A large room was our base for the night, comfortable and large double bed was all that was required. The plumbing showed signs of it's age. The bar is noted for it's considerable collection of malt whiskys... More

I've only eaten here once (not stayed) but as far as pub-hotel food goes, it was good. The menu had some good locally sourced choices. I don't often find a menu which makes me smile so well done to whoever wrote it.

Whilst visiting Newton Stewart I went out one Friday evening for dinner to the Galloway Arms Hotel with members of my family. There was a roaring log fire and a shabby chic sort of ambiance to the place. The lady who served us was polite, efficient and friendly. The menu was very large, varied and reasonably interesting, but my gut... More

We were 5 friends on a budget golfing trip in Dumfries, perfect location, friendly family run hotel, good food and service. Print this because of another bad review, the hotel is not 5 star, but you get more than you pay for.
