Our first stop on our annual weekend break to the area was a return visit to Cafe Cree. It was worth the wait. The roasted courgette and basil soup was a delight and we choose to accompany it with the locally made wigwam bread which was a real treat. My wife opted for the local platter which surpassed her expectations as the selection of local cheeses, chutneys, smoked salmon and bread was sublime. Not only was the food divine, it was lovely to meet Jan and Chris again and to see how another year has enabled them to grow in confidence and be more adventurous in their menu planning. It's a shame there is not a Cafe Cree a bit nearer our home, but that makes the holiday all that more special.

We visited this cafe while on holiday this year. Extremely friendly staff, the best mushroom soup we've ever had and great for children. Nice to find somewhere that doesn't just offer chicken nuggets and spagetti hoops for children. Would definately recommend.

Wonderful food and a warm welcoming atmosphere, what more can you ask for. We are regular visitors to Cafe Cree and are always made very welcome. Its a real delight to try the innovative recipes made from the wonderful local produce. We wish Jan and Chris every success, they have worked tirelessly and deserve to win this award.

I didn't know anyone when I came to live in Newton Stewart but walking into Cafe Cree the first day was very fortunate for me. The welcome I received was amazing but genuine; the atmosphere was relaxing and there were newspapers, magazines and a selection of really amusing greeting cards to browse through, not to mention all the leaflets with information on all sorts of local activities. The food is excellent with fresh local produce prepared with imagination. The selection changes regularly so there are many surprises and something to suit everyone. Jan and Chris have worked extremely hard to uphold the standard they set themselves and in many cases have exceeded it. They deserve every and any accolade to reward that achievement.

Holidaying in the area on a regular basis gives the opportunity to find "eateries". Cafe Cree is a GEM in S.W. Scotland - the food is wholesome and "honest" ( foodies will understand that term) and all the staff treat visitors as friends who are welcomed and made to feel at home. We can vouch for the quality as we have become regulars and await our next holiday to see what Chris and Jan have on the menu

Brilliant scones, homemade jams and great hostess and staff. A nice retreat from the sottish rain. Fi Glasgow

We popped into Cafe Cree completely on the off chance a few days ago- what a lovely surprise ! We never expected to find such delicious food in the wilds of Wigtownshire ! The hostess was lovely, very friendly & enthusiastic. I had the soup of the day (with special bread) which was delicious & my companions both had delicious sandwiches, followed by delicious scones. I can highly recommend this "eaterie" & will definitely be going back on my next visit to Scotland.

We found this cafe on a dog friendly website. We have just returned from holiday to scotland and we visited the cafe as it was dog friendly. We got a big welcome as soon as we got through the door. The menu they had for that day was superb. All the ingridients were from a 20 mile radius of the cafe. All made fresh to order by the staff. The staff had great knowledge of all the products and where they came from. The homemade bread was superb. Inside the cafe was clean and tidy and as i have said this cafe is dog friendly. I give my vote to this cafe and strongly reccomend that anyone in the area to visit cafe cree. A.H. Doncaster.

Eating out in rural Scotland is not easy if your're interested in fresh food made from healthy ingredients - the southwest of Scotland is blessed by one or two excellent eating places, among them Cafe Cree, whose lunches would not be out of place or quality beside some metropolitan outlets in Edinburgh or Glasgow. It takes a lot of nerve to strike out for high quality and a distinctive menu in such a small town - their loyalty to local suppliers is admirable and the food doesn't suffer from this policy - far from it, it shows what can be done without recourse to ingredients flown thousands of miles. review this place now
