The Manor Country House Hotel

General information

Set in beautiful private grounds, this charming, 200 year old country house hotel is situated in the village of Torthorwald, four miles from Dumfries on the A709 and eight miles from Lockerbie with easy access to the motorway network.

The Hotel overlooks the ruins of Torthorwald Castle, which was originally owned by Sir David Torthorwald in the 13th Century.

It is managed by Ken and Caroline Hutchison. Their aim is simple, and that is to ensure that whether their guest is here to either take advantage of the extremely welcoming overnight accommodation in one of the well appointed en suite bedrooms, to sample the food from the exhilarating menu in the restaurant or the bar, to simply have a quiet drink, or of course a combination of all them, that the experience persuades the guest that it should not be too long before returning once again.

The success of the business is of course more than that however, and in no small way is due to all the staff that work at the Manor, as they all play a vital part in not only in the front of house, welcoming and looking after the guests, but just as important working in different roles behind the scenes.

The restaurant is a favourite with the locals and visitors alike and well known for its extensive array of beautifully presented, European, seafood, meat, pasta and vegetarian dishes as well as a delicious selection of home-made sweets.
A fine selection of wines is available from our cellar to complement your meal.

Should you have any special dietary requirements, our Executive Chef will be delighted to help.

Beautiful presented napkins, sparking cutlery, fresh flowers all add up to make the restaurant a relaxing dining experience. Our executive chef ensures that the choice on the menu is wide and varied, using local produce where possible, and caters for all dietary requirements. Sit back in the lounge area to browse over the menus prior to your meal and then perhaps return there after the meal to enjoy one of our coffees or teas, or how about tasting one of our malt whiskies?
