Pros:

Just off the motorway so a good stopping off point without travelling into a town. Clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The only downside is no restaurant on site. We needed to cross over to the services for fast food, not our favourite.

Pros:

Didn't have to pay to park here.

Cons:

There wasn't much to like really. It was over priced just because it's in Gretna Green. We got there 10 minutes before check in time after an almost 6 hour drive and they sent us away because we were too early!

Would recommend and if ever need a room in that location it would be my first choice.
Pros:

Booking went smoothly, room was clean and tidy, staff were helpful and friendly

Cons:

A bit of noise from customers leaving early, doors banging closed but that’s more to the ignorance of others than to the staff or the hotel.

Cons:

I didnt like the parking fine I received when I returned home. I paid the £5 parking fee as I always do, when I arrived there.
But luckily, this was sorted out by reception 3xweeks later.

Pros:

Staff were pleasant, the room was a comfortable temperature and easy to adjust if needed.

Cons:

I wasn't expecting to pay an additional £5 for parking. The email I received implied the parking charge was included in the payment I made before travel. I didn't find the pillows comfortable at all - too deep and quite lumpy. Also difficult to find the hotel when coming from the north. WiFi didn't connect.
