Most enjoyable experience
5
I recently had the pleasure of staying at The Kenmuir Arms, located in the Quaint Village of New Luce.
I received a very warm and friendly welcome on my arrival from Tony.
I was shown to my room with stunning views overlooking the River Luce, the room was immaculate and tastefully decorated to a high standard, (and recently awarded 5 gold stars, for guest accommodation,) everything I required for a comfortable stay.
The Breakfast menu was a choice of continental or a delicious cooked breakfast.
I had the cooked breakfast which was very tasty and I was an advised that it was home made black pudding made by the Chef and proprietor Chris.
The fish and chips for dinner absolutely delicious the chips are the best Ive tasted.
I indulged the 8 course Degustation tasting menu and the wine flight it was a culinary experience that I would recommend. I would highly recommend staying here, I will certainly be returning very soon.
Thanks to all your team.

Beautifully refurbished small country hotel, slightly disappointing food
4
We live locally so are delighted that this lovely village pub/hotel has been refurbished. It has been beautifully done, very fresh and modern but completely in keeping with the village. Lovely extension with large windows looks out onto the garden and riverside. Staff excellent very friendly. Unfortunately food was disappointing. 4 of us went for a weekday lunch. We were expecting the menu advertised on the website but were given a different more expensive menu! My starter was lovely (warm smoked haddock mousse with leek). The rabbit starter was also good but the other starters seemed to miss the mark on flavour combinations. The same applied to the main and dessert courses. The descriptions on the menu did not really describe the dish, more a list of ingredients. Overall most of the dishes did not really work for us. In addition none of the hot dishes were really warm enough. We won't give up but hope to have a better experience next time.

Good afternoon Liz thank you for your constructive feedback. We are sorry your experience did not live up to expectations. As we are still in our first few month's we are still gauging our target audiences as well as what works for both locals and those seeking the experience. As you are local, you will understand the necessity for us to do so. Our menu and food style do still need to go through a few more changes to get to where we need to be.

Please feel free to introduce yourself on your next visit, and we will happily tailor your experience to meet those expectations. Thank you kindly for your continued custom. kind regards Chris

Weekendture

Went to stay for a weekend with my partner and 2x kids - 1x 5yo and 3mth old. Easy to get to travelling the west coast down from central belt Scotland(Glasgow)
The hotel is very modern, with lovely decor, still had that brand new smell.
Upon entering, a snug bar is to the right that has a wood fire burner- cosy for cold winter nights. Individual F/M Toilets are across from the bar which had a baby change area within the disabled toilet, also kept clean.
The restaurant itself is lovely and bright with glass-paned windows that give a gorgeous view of the surrounding area. Ideal for when the warmer summer nights come in - perfect to watch sunsets.
The bedroom we stayed in was a big size that had a comfy king size bed, comfy pull out couch and a travel cot. The bathroom is on the smaller size, with a walk in shower, however it was the perfect size for a family of 4.
Food and drink were amazing and the food was tasty and delicious- 10/10 ⭐️
Staff are lovey - chef’s well done!
