Library - East Ayrshire

This charming restaurant is tastefully decorated and offers a good variety of options on the lunch menu (self-service). It is also licensed. On a beautiful day, we enjoyed sitting in the courtyard outside, which had plenty of seating and tables.

I have utilized this venue for multiple events and it is difficult to find a better setting. If you are looking for a professional and exceptional experience for a group of around 12 people, this is the place to be.

We arrived on a busy, sunny day, but the food was of excellent quality with a wide selection that should appeal to all tastes and ages.

We had a pleasant dinner in the Library at Dumfries House as part of a Christmas Festive Candlelit Tour of the house. With extravagant Christmas decorations the setting for a festive dinner was superb. Service by the young staff was very good and the dinner satisfactory though no choice. It was traditional Christmas fare but somewhat dry, overcooked turkey while the smoked salmon with salmon mousse was perfect. I would do it again!

While the room with its Christmas decorations and the good service and included wines were very good, the main of turkey etc was well over cooked and not a great cut. It seemed to come from a rolled joint and was probably reheated for to long. The starter was perfect, Smoked salmon roulade. Dessert sticky figgy pud not as good as a regular Sticky Toffee pud.
