Nice hotel in a good location.
Enjoyed our two night stay. Hotel is well situated just a couple of miles off the motorway in a quiet location. Very attractive building with large extension at the back in similar style. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Rooms were quiet and clean. We dined both evenings. Reasonable choice and large platefuls! Waiter did have a tendency to want to clear plates very quickly!

Shocking
We were here to look at it for a wedding venue. The whole place was cold tired and dirty. The receptionist could not be bothered to get out of her chair to check us in. Staff wearing coats. Plastic table cloths and microwaved food. Partner had upset stomach the following morning. Mould in bathroom. Shockingly bad.

Dirty, smelly and a total misrepresentation
Worst hotel room we have ever had the misfortune of staying in! Room 32! Filthy carpet which had endless marks and stunk. Horrible, old , uncomfortable mattresses that dipped in the middle and could feel the springs. Creaky bunk beds. Broken furniture The bathroom reeked of urine. The photos on the website and Hotels.com are a total misrepresentation and for the amount we paid, feels extremely unfair to its customers. Our room was rundown and should not be open to the public until given a full refurbishment. We try as a family to support independent, family run hotels, well this hotel is an embarrassment to that industry

Grubby hotel
Hotel looked nice from the outside but very deceiving once you walk through the door. Hotel room was grubby, carpets stained quite badly & the walls dirty. Bathroom tiles black with mould. Disgusted that I had to paid an extra £30 for one nights stay because I had my two very small Yorkie dogs with us.

This could be an absolute gold mine, but the rooms are tired and the attention to detail just isn’t there! The barman walked out during our meal, so there was no one serving for a short time! Not a great choice for vegans (evening meal), but the breakfast was great!

Good for a night's halt
I booked The Gables because it looked perfect for breaking our journey from our home to Scotland, was only a few miles off the M6, was dog-friendly and was not too expensive (though £15 for a dog was a bit excessive!). My greeting at reception was lovely and the receptionist immediately changed my room to a ground-floor one when I reminded her about our dog, there was ample parking, and it was easy to get from our room to the outside (bonus when you're travelling with a dog). We paid extra for breakfast (extremely good value) and it was delicious. I had some minor gripes: our room was small - especially with a dog - with nowhere to lay suitcases nor hooks to hang (eg) coats, and a little 'shabby', we could find nowhere nearby to buy a snack (though there were shops, chippies a short way down the road as we found too late!), and we couldn't find anywhere nearby to exercise our very energetic dog. The bath towels hadn't been changed but this was an oversight and would have been immediately dealt with had I mentioned it at reception (I made do with the clean hand towel being far too lazy to contact reception again!). If I travel that way again, none of my minor gripes would deter me from staying - they could all be managed now I know what they are - and I'd still recommend The Gables for a night's stop.

Well located hotel, good VFM accomodation @ Gretna
Hotel for a couple of nights while we had things to do in the Gretna locale ;) Easy to find with good parking. Check in friendly with a warm welcome. Staff made it easy to get bags to the room and were super helpful. Room was clean & excellent - comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Shower lacked water flow but did the job. Plenty of power sockets & Freeview TV. Comp. Prosecco & chocs. were a surprise addition to the room on arrival! Breakfast selection was good, & included gluten free options. Friendly staff. Evening food is from a limited menu (1 night only) &, to be honest, was not so good. Starter of Mushrooms with blue cheese dressing. Served on a small half moon plate - mushrooms skated everywhere when being cut.The dressing tasted sufficiently off to be inedible. Liver parfait was OK. Mains of King Prawn linguini and Steak (+£8). Side of garlic bread (good).Prawns were barely warm and didn't taste the best. Not all eaten and one removed half chewed as I feared for possible after effects. Linguini had a slightly slimy texture to it. Steak - chips nice & hot, steak (requested rare) was almost inedible and mostly left on the plate. The burgers coming out looked far better TBH. Drinks priced as you might expect. Evening bar staff friendly. The bar (while we were there) was well used. Were happy to provide ice bucket & glasses for fizz. Weather was good during visit & outside sitting space was pleasant.Just beware of the murder of resident crows circling before roosting!
