Dropped in for lunch and wasn't in any way disappointed. Lovely food and a great service from the very friendly staff. Great views and dog friendly

The perfect venue
I chose The Boathouse for an intimate wedding reception of 15 or so people, and the staff there delivered in spades with a delicious, high-quality buffet, carefully-considered playlist, and a beautifully lit and decorated atmosphere—with candles and fairy lights adorning seemingly every surface. The staff—who were on hand the entire time—were absolutely delightful, and were more than happy to pack the buffet into paper bags for us. They also decorated the wedding cake beautifully for me with the items we brought. I couldn’t recommend The Boathouse highly enough—thank you!

Have always loved this place and found the food excellent but this time it was let down by hard poached eggs and unfortunately a yapping dog. But I will look forward to another visit as the view is stunning

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant with a great choice of dishes. I had the chilli halloumi wrap and sweet potato fries (big enough to be shared between 4). Service was excellent and the view of the estuary with the migrating geese was stunning.

Stunning location. We have found service slightly slower on our last couple of visits but it is always busy. Excellent menu and food is always amazing. Views are magnificent.

Sat outside on a lovely warm day, protected from the breeze by the excellent glass screen. Chose the second day of the "Nith bore" which passed us as we were eating. Altogether a great lunch with wonderful food and wine. Very well worth a visit and we will be back.

Lovely food and gluten free options on the menu. Great view of the River Nith from your dinning table.

Really good food here and a shop with many high quality local produce and souvenirs.
The place has an excellent view over the estuary and is right next to a local pub and places to park your motorhome overnight.
I will definitely return for an overnighter with pint, then go here for brekkie or lunch. Delicious
