When we bought the Kirklands Hotel in 2007, it was a rustic 17th Century coaching Inn but the interiors were very dated and in need of some love and so the project began. In 2007 we did an overhaul of the Bar, Restaurant and ground floor modernising the interiors but keeping in touch with the buildings history.
Our restaurant offers a dining experience based on high quality food, drink and service in stylish surroundings. Our menu which changes seasonally uses fresh local produce all prepared in house by our team of skilled chefs. We pride ourselves on knowledgeable but friendly service and our waiting staff are always on hand to help with a query or recommendation. The Restaurant at the Kirklands provides good vegetarian and vegan options, and is happy to cater for special dietary requirements.
By day, the bar is the perfect place to while away the afternoon meeting with friends or simply relaxing with the papers over a freshly brewed coffee and homemade pastry. By night the bar becomes the ideal place to enjoy a pre dinner cocktail or glass of wine from our extensive drinks list. Or for those looking for a taste of Scotland we carry a fine range of malts and cask ales.
The Kirklands Hotel boasts eight ensuite bedrooms. With a good mix of double, twin and family rooms the Kirklands can meet all your accommodation needs. A full Scottish breakfast is included in the cost of your stay. All rooms are comfortable and well appointed with LCD free sat television, telephone, hairdryer and tea/coffee making facilities. The ensuite bathrooms are modern and well laid out with heated towel rails and a full range of Duck Island toiletries.

Rooms basic but ok and bed comfortable. Windows in room need a major revamp but space was good as was the bathroom. Dinner and breakfast service was outstanding . New dinner menu introduced on the day I arrived. Mushroom teriyaki was amazing, and the raspberry mocktail and sticky toffee pud were excellent too. Portions nicely presented and were just right. Breakfast omelette was delicious too and gluten free bread was fine. Staff great too!

Great experience. Turned up without a reservation and they managed to fit us in. Fast service and good food. No complaints, would go again. Had the wings for starters and the steak for mains with a sticky toffee pudding for desert. Parking is limited immediately around the hotel but there is a mixture of on street parking and parking across the street.

There's much to like about the Kirklands, the extremely helpful staff in particular. But there's just the sense that it's found it difficult to make the investment to keep pace, refresh and move up to very good. Room was fine, decent size with comfortable twin beds, but the single-glazed windows need some TLC. Shower presure was weak. Breakfast was good, though limited cereal choice. It's a shame, for every "really good", there's a "but."

My boyfriend and I needed a room to stay overnight before we had to drive 4 hours north to meet with friends the next day. We were very fortunate to have come across this hotel. The service was lovely. The staff was very friendly and greeted us with a smile (you could tell they were smiling even while wearing masks). Not only was the staff was so inviting and the atmosphere and decor of the hotel was clean and neat, but the food was amazing.
While my boyfriend was sleeping shortly after arriving there I went down stairs to see what they had to offer for food. The server recommended me with some entry choices as i was not totally familiar with their menu. Once the food was done they even brought the dinner to our room. Let me be clear. The food was amazing, I must say i was not expecting that kind of deliciousness. I would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone. Needless to say the breakfast that we had right before we checked out was equally as impressive.
