We were here in winter when the nights are dark and the restaurant pretty featureless without a view. But we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food which is fantastic.
However, this was let down severely by lacklustre service which was slow and unattentive. We were particularly annoyed when hot food was served before cold, with a long wait between food arriving, meaning we all ate cold food whether we wanted to or not.
At these prices, the ambience and the service would make me avoid here again.

The food is excellent at Beulah's, and service/quality are consistent.
Well presented, quality and plentiful. The staff are all lovely too and provide great, friendly service.
It is by far the best place I have come across where we can take our (well behaved) dog.
And one of the best places I have eaten generally.

We stayed overnight at the Woodland Bay hotel and found the whole experience very enjoyable. The room was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The customer service was faultless and the food in the restaurant was delicious. There are some very nice vegetarian choices on offer.
We would definitely recommend this hotel.
6. The Harbour Cafe

Fish & Chip restaurant looking out over the harbour while you eat. Traditional fish and chip dishes are served such as fish, sausages, chicken, haggis and deep fried pizza. However, we also serve our exclusive 'BLAGGIS' which is both haggis and black pudding battered together and another popular dish is our sweet chilli haggis. In our restaurant we also serve a small selection of salads, macaroni, chicken curry, lasagne and also hot and cold drinks. We also have the option to take away which is around the corner.

Popped into here as really fancied a chippy after visiting culzean castle and this place rated highly on TripAdvisor. Went in and place seemed bit of a clutter however after speaking to a waitress it appeared they had an unexpected rush of customers. All tables...MoreThank you very much. I appreciate my staff are very good, hard working and friendly but it's nice to know some of my customers do as well.

A number of people have given us good reviews of this tearoom/restaurant so we eventually decided to give it a try. Inside is more like a tearoom than a restaurants although it has to be said that judging by the number of people inside it appears popular.
Food is very plain cooking but plenty of it. Just not our "cup of tea" if you pardon the pun.

My wife and I stopped on the way to Stranraer. We were a little cautious because we were close to the advertised closing time. We need not have worried. The welcome was warm and friendly. The menu was broad and very reasonably priced. The service...MoreThank you for your lovely review Gary H, I am so pleased you enjoyed your stop,hope to see you again in the future,
9. The Grand Tea Lounge

Reviewed By Martin R - Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom
We had a lovely, luxurious and lazy Sunday afternoon tea in The Grand Tea Lounge at the Trump Turnberry Resort today.
The food itself was delicious. Perfect scones, with the right amount of cream and jam; lovely, little, light sponge cakes; pastries; savoury and sweet - - we couldn’t fault anything we had and very nearly finished it all (not quite - food coma!).
There were a fair selection of teas on offer but I just wanted a cup of English, I opted for the Turnberry version which was nice.
The staff we interacted with were all lovely, from the gentleman on the door who directed us, to the ladies who waited and served our table, all were pleasant and efficient without being overly so. The view from our window table was amazing.
The atmosphere was just ever so slightly too formal for me, but I am perhaps being pernickety and it’s a really small small observation for what was a great way to spend a rainy Sunday afternoon for a few hours.

We have never eaten in this restaurant but do have a take away meal whenever we are in the area! It is superb. Vegan and carnivores alike love the food from here! It's just a little bit more than your average carry out!
Particularly love the bean curd and veg soup as well as their dim sum dumplings and won ton soup. Their salt and chilli chicken wings are the best I have tasted anywhere!!!! So would totally recommend that you try it!
