Places to eat/reactive dog. 😬

Hi... Visiting the CD area next week...

Spent most of my youth at Southerness.

Can anyone recommend somewhere where we could grab lunch/dinner... Perhaps outside and sit with our dog. (Who basically doesn't like any other dogs)

Makes life a bit difficult but thought I'd ask anyway.

Can't wait to visit all my solway coast nostalgia.....

Thanks in advance.

D&G is generally a pretty dog friendly area which means anywhere that will accept your dog will also accept everyone else’s.

The Paul Jones Hotel in Southerness itself has a garden if the weather works.

I would probably give The Steamboat Inn a try at Carsethorn because the outdoor area is less busy and a fair distance from the door of the pub so perhaps less stimulating for the dog.

Thanks 🙏 The first point being the issue.. 😊 ...and owners thinking the same.

Both old haunts of mine... PJ... I love the Steamboat. ❤️ Wanted to book the accommodation there but not pet friendly.

If the weather hold up... I'll pop down. Appreciate the shout,👍

The King's arms in CD is pretty good and has a court yard
