Great value for your money with breakfast included
We totally loved our stay, which was made even more lovely by just how friendly and helpful the staff were, in particular Peter who served us our very tasty breakfast, and Caroline who served us drinks and made us feel so welcomed. Elle who was on Reception was also just amazing and the hospitality here was some of the best we have experienced. The view of the River Nith and walks were just breathtaking and so peaceful. Although our room was on the small side we don't ever spend much time except to sleep as we were normally out enjoying the local area or walking by the River. We will definitely be staying again when in the area. Being dog friendly was also a must and bonus.

The lady at reception was wonderful, very friendly however, the restaurant waitresses let it down, while my partner was still eating twice they came over to ask if we were finished, had no idea of the soup choice and were very inexperienced, food was lovely tho, the lady behind the bar was friendly and informative, beautiful grounds and surroundings so would definitely recommend

Very much enjoyed staying at this hotel. Staff were very good, even at the late time we came in at. Hotel is situated a little ways off the main road in very picturesque and ideal spot. Rooms were clean and the front area of the hotel was an amazing area to just sit in for a bit. Old woodwork with comfortable yet antique style furniture.
