Shocked by humiliating treatment
Pros:

Lovely location and a nice room. However, we were severely shocked by the abruptness of the welcome and service. Most unwelcoming and actively and aggressive with no known reasons (other than face it not fit)

Pros:

I loved the property. The country setting was peaceful, beautiful and perfect. The gardens were amazing. We enjoyed walking around the grounds and flushed out a bunny and a grouse. Richard tried to teach us how to play snooker. Cecilla gave us valuable tips for our upcoming weekend in Edinburgh and the drive over to Melrose.

Pros:

This is a gem! As long as you don’t mind being in the countryside.

Big airy room. Good bathroom. Outside terrace is great. Breakfast to die for.

And then there is the golden retriever!!

Lovely but be careful
Pros:

Be very careful when booking this hotel. The site states restaurant but when we arrived at 16.00 we asked to eat that night and were told that this was not available as the chef was away for the night, so we asked to eat the following evening and were told that they were unsure if this would be available then it wasn't. The place is in a lovely location but it was 7 miles to the pub they recommended for dinner down single track lanes in the pouring rain. When we complained about this on leaving we were told we could have eaten if we had reserved at breakfast , the day before must have been too far in advance. The rooms were lovely large and well decorated, little extras appeared like tea and cake and the home made bread at breakfast was great. If you are taking a dog be aware that the owners two lovely dogs are free wandering round, our small dog was nervous when they crowded him getting out of the car even though they were not aggressive just curious.

Character hotel in rural setting
Pros:

A suite rather than a room. Very spacious. Cramped bathroom but with excellent shower. Unusual breakfast arrangement- one large (very large) table. Home made bread and jams were most tasty. Breakfast cooked to order and was very good. Extensive grounds provide great space for children. Partridge chicks added to interest.

Stopover......
Pros:

Lovely location, and a very warm welcome. Everything you you need for a comfortable, homely stay. As the weather was unbelievably hot, the rooms were lovely and cool.
The breakfast was wonderful, as was the service. Great choice of everything. Only thing wrong for me was the mattress. I suffer with my back so I prefer a firmer mattress. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Country hotel close to Crocketford
Pros:

The hotel was convenient for us coming off the 6 pm ferry from Stranraer heading to the Yorkshire dales. We have stayed here before in a different room a couple of years ago and were pleased. We felt that this time the different room was a bit run down and not very comfortable. breakfast was reasonable although we weren't offered any bread or toast. It seemed the lady owner was a bit under pressure. So all in all the stay was just ok

Fantastic short stay
Pros:

Absolutely brilliant a wonderful hotel where the host Celia could not have been more helpful. Stayed 4 nights outstanding breakfast and we had 4 evening meals which were just so good. Local sauced food cooked to perfection. Make sure you have the venison and the highland beef casserole
On the down side I think they need to fit grip handles to get in and out of the bath as it is difficult for us more senior clients. Also the towels were replaced with damp towels and left to dry in the bathroom which made them smell shame because everything else was brilliant

Dogs don't stay for free!
Pros:

Be careful when booking a stay at Craigadam with your dog via Hotels.com. The website states that pets stay free but we were actually charged £10.00 per night for our dog! Luckily we only stayed 2 nights otherwise it would have turned out to be very expensive.
