Excellent central location and value
Pros:

Good central location, added convenience of having an integrated bar and restaurant. It was severely raining the first day so this meant I could get my dinner sorted without having to venture out far. The Haddock and Chips on the menu was some of the best fish and chips I've ever had.

Cons:

Room is slightly cosy but large enough for one person. The curry on the menu had good portions, however, was quite mild and may be not spicy enough for certain curry lovers.

Most enjoyable would 100 per cent stay here again. Kings Arms Hotel 2 nights in Lockerbie
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff, food was very good. The manager explained where we could park, and where we could eat if we were eating elsewhere. Highly recommended and we all thoroughly enjoined our weekend. Thank you everyone X

Cons:

My bed was a little uncomfortable, apart from that absolutely perfect. We did turn our radiator off as it was too hot for ourselves, Our Dad enjoined his heat in his single room though.
