This was our second stay at the hotel and will not be the last I hope.
Pros:

Very close to the motorway, lovely old building featuring pictures of day gone by.
Preet who looked after us in the bar where the evening meal was served couldn’t help enough with our requests. Breakfast was served in the restaurant and again was to a high standard.

Cons:

Nothing

Clean, comfortable, convenient and reasonable value.
Pros:

The location is super convenient, minutes from the motorway and a short walk into Gretna itself. There's a very cute cafe nearby, just across the road which serves a delicious breakfast. The room was spacious and as described at the point of booking. Check in was straightforward and the receptionist was friendly and welcoming. The gardens/grounds are absolutely stunning, lovely to stretch our legs in after a long drive. The shower was hot and with decent water pressure.

Cons:

The hotel felt quite tired and in need of some TLC. \Our room was generally clean and comfortable, but small things like the shower didn't drain properly (so we had to take very prompt showers to avoid flooding the bathroom), the hot/cold labels on the taps fell off when you turned the tap on, there were holes in the siding around the bath and shower. No plugs anywhere near to the bed (inconvenient but not the end of the world) and no mini-fridge in the room (it wasn't promised/expected, and we stored our fridge-able items on the windowsill which worked fine).

Comfortable clean and homely, extremely comfy bed
Pros:

It was so near the motorway for travel but you didn’t even hear it from the hotel, it was extremely clean and lovely breakfast and lovely revamped decor but keeping the older building charm and large rooms

Cons:

Only thing my husband found was they didn’t ask how you wanted steak cooked and meats were definately on the over cooked stage

Needs a decent revamp
Pros:

It was a little far out of the area we wanted to be near

Cons:

Bit dated and freezing at night ~ smelt of cigarette smoke as you walked in
Staff were smoking in the entrance area to where customers were walking into ~ bit disappointed to see this 😳
