The Anchor - Dumfries Galloway

Stayed for a couple of nights and what a great place, dog friendly rooms which are very clean, comfortable and tidy with fantastic views, great tasty breakfast which is really well presented and well looked after by Jimmy and the rest of the staff. One minor complaint water pressure in shower not brilliant but had worse. Will definitely be booking again.

We have visited this pub many times over the years, different seasons and weather's. Always a friendly, warm welcome from the staff, a fire in the grate and hearty pub grub. Always family friendly and welcome break from a good stroll out along the beach or through the woodland.

After making our voyage from Woolton, Liverpool Where John Lennon is from , we stumbled upon the quaint, quiet venue that is “The Anchor Hotel “Kippford””. Going to keep this short and sweet. We stumbled into the venue at 2pm on the dot, where we were greeted by a young lady Graze? , she sat us right by the roaring fire maybe too hot if you ask me LOL . Our baby boy Jack Russel “Ringo” was treated to a bowl of water and a hearty biscuit without him having to move a paw. My wife ate. I had food as well! Graze was very attentive and we were introduced to the South African guy Collin maybe the owner? . We very quickly became close with both the workers, ourselves and Ringo were quite upset we never got the WhatsApp details of the both of them, but “Let it Be” I guess LOL The Beatles Reference . My food was good, but the waiters served. We LOVED the Halloween decorations, reminded us of our home in Woolton, Liverpool. Could definitely use a few more though, but we understand the current cost of living crisis. We were including Ringo under the impression that the hospitality industry is dying, but clearly the natural stars Graze and Collin are stopping this from occurring in Dumfries and Galloway, South West Scotland, The Anchor Hotel, Kippford, DG54LN. Last time we comed there was a lot of bush on the building, I miss it. Collin please contact me ASAP if you see this, you will always have a home with us here in Woolton, Liverpool. Graze always welcome : . Love, Shyanne, Derek and Ringo the rockstar like the Beetle

This restaurant is full of charm and becomes very cozy when the fire is roaring. I ordered the fish and chips which were excellent, with a perfectly crispy batter enveloping a generous portion of fish. The atmosphere is very welcoming to families and dogs.

What an excellent pub restaurant. Had a fantastic weekend experience at this amazing place. Staff were outstanding and experienced and couldn’t do enough for us. Family Run business. Food was Amazing with a great selection for All . Restaurant has nice Decor and the open fire makes for a cosy atmosphere. Brilliant selection of whiskey including a couple of my favourite Caol IIa Malts behind the bar , a nice wee sweet , smoky peaty whisky. Good location with beautiful scenery. Highly recommended.
