Good location for visiting Kippford
Pros:

Breakfast was freshly prepared by Sean and tasty. The room and beds were clean and there was a fan in the wardrobe as well as an iron and board.

Cons:

Staying on the second floor so lots of stairs.
Dinner finished at 8pm so we couldn't get a meal.

Visit to Dalbeattie
Pros:

Friendly staff and spacious ,clean rooms.
We had an evening meal in the restaurant which was very good.
Breakfast was tasty and staff were accommodating with adjustment to the menu and again, staff were friendly.
We would definitely stay again if visiting the area .

Cons:

The twin room was very hot and the fan provided wasn't very effective (summer time).
.The shower unit is in the bedroom (with opaque doors) .This wasn't a problem for us but maybe not for everyone !
The first night I was kept awake by loud music in the bar downstairs (Friday night) but this finished at midnight and the hotel was very quiet following this. Saturday night...same thing but we joined in this time and had fun with the entertainment ! 😆
