"My husband and I got married at the blacksmith shop this week and stayed at this hotel with our wedding guests. We would never recommend this place to anyone looking to get married. We have come away disgusted with the way we was treated on our wedding day by certain staff members. The rudest person of them all was a lady called Alice who worked in the restaurant. She made me cry on my own wedding day with how she kept trying to start arguments from the moment we arrived for our wedding meal. She kept prodding us with sarcastic remarks all the time was constantly watching us to try and make an issue over literally anything. She was absolutely vile with the way she thought she could talk to us. The woman even got a tape measure out on our wedding day for social distancing on tables (long story short: mine and the grooms table was so far away from our guests we had to shout to the tables it was a joke they went past the 2M ruling!!! So we moved our table slightly closer to our guests so we could actually hear them and she then had the cheek to get a tape measure out UNBELIEVABLE. This is not how to treat guests especially on their wedding day!! There is a way to speak to people and it certainly wasn’t this!! We then complained about her to another member of staff and it was a pack mentality in this hotel and she was allowed to talk to people however she wanted. I just wanted to add that other wedding parties in the restaurant was getting away with singing, standing up and mingling, music on their phone speakers but nope... this woman had it in for us all night. I think she took good pleasure out of getting an argument out of myself and my guests. Will never be coming back here. Just so grateful we had lovely friends and family there who made the day lovely for us otherwise this would of been a hell hole."

My partner and dine arrived late and were after some simple but hearty food. We opted for the fish and chips and were not disappointed. The fish was perfectly cooked and served on a mound of chips. Despite being hungry, neither of us managed to finish the meal.

We had issues with the EV charging station in the car park and found ourselves stranded as the chargers at the near by services were also not working. The staff at the hotel couldn’t be more helpful. We would definitely use this hotel based purely on the positive and helpful attitude of the staff. Thank you for your help

We had a great experience at Smiths for our Wedding dinner, we had to pre order, but they got it all correct and the servings were very generous. My steak was delicious, we had two fussy eaters with us and they ate more than the other 6 people, so it must have been good! Large selection of wine too, so great evening, and friendly staff. The restaurant itself has lovely decor.

Couldn’t get into Gretna inn for lunch barmaid suggested we try smiths. Rather pricey but quite swanky. Service slow although very quiet. Dining room very quiet but we were served in the lounge to eat off coffee table. Rather awkward uncomfortable. The food however was a treat. The burger the fish chips offered large portions (way to many chips). Fish was beautifully cooked fresh. Only issue was that both meals came pre salted. If we had been pre warned I could have asked for an unsalted meal

We had dinner here the night before we were married. ‘Artisan bread with oils’ came as a shared starter. A massive plate of huge chunks of bread which had been shoved in the oven to warm I presume, but was toasted, hard and dried up. We asked for fresh bread which was not toasted and hard. Same bread came back, pretty stale and crumbly, we didn’t eat it. The oil was horrible and the balsamic vinegar in the oil was the thick balsamic glaze which you squirt on food! My main of roasted beetroots salad would have been ok if it hadn’t been absolutely soaked in horrible olive oil, there was no other dressing other than a squirt of the balsamic glaze again. My partners chicken cesar salad was spoil...

"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."
