Séjour très agréable
Pros:

Hôtel dans un cadre superbe. Maison ancienne très British. Dîner et petit déjeuner savoureux. Personnel très agréable. Literie très confortable.

Cons:

J’ai tout aimé, juste à signaler pour les personnes que cela pourrait peut-être gêner dans notre chambre douche dans baignoire avec uniquement pommeau fixe au dessus de la tête.

A lovely welcoming family hotel with great standards surrounded by countryside
Pros:

The location of this hotel was excellent, lovely peaceful grounds, surrounded by countryside. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very homely inside and the family room was very spacious. There was plenty of free parking. The big deal for us was it being dog friendly and that was one of the main reasons we stayed there. The grounds were ideal for us to walk our dog too and we were able to let her off to run off her energy. The breakfast was really enjoyable, to a high standard and had lots of choice. So pleased we found this gem in Dumfries. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Cons:

We loved everything! Would have been great if they had a pool but I don't think they could just magic that!

We would return but not in the summer as the room was far too hot. Had a terrible sleep due the room being like an oven.
Pros:

Enjoyed the peace and quiet. Nice gardens to walk in. Great for dogs. Food was excellent.

Cons:

Rooms were very hot, no air conditioning. Shower wasn’t working well. Rooms could do with an upgrade.
