Overall a good experience.
Pros:

We've just spent 2 nights here as guests of a wedding couple. Room 29 was very comfortable and had all we needed for the say and wedding prep (iron/board). Room only has a shower but it was very good having the drencher option as well as hand held. The air con isn't, cooled ventilation at best so in this weather the room is quite warm. The window opens onto the car park with A74(M) beyond so it can be quite noisy. The bar service was very good as was service and food for the reception. The room didn't get serviced for the second night. I forgot to mention this when checking out and didn't report it at 23:00 when we retired as I doubted there were any chambermaids/ housekeeping staff on duty at that time.

The BEST bar staff in Gretna!
Pros:

We had our wedding reception in one of the private dining areas at Smiths Hotel.
The bar staff went above and beyond! Nothing was too much hassle for them and they were soo attentive!
Special shout out to Riley, Bradley, Ciaran, Alfie, Dixie and Rosie - these guys were amazing and we are so grateful for everything they did for us! They definitely deserve a pay rise 😉

A great hotel in a fabulous location
Pros:

It’s a great location, not just for weddings but for Greta village. Loads of things to do, and an excellent shop nearby. The rooms are large and beautifully furnished, the on-site bar and brassiere has a varied menu and was good value for money. All the staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was good and had a various amount of choices.

Cons:

Nothing

Wedding Stay
Pros:

We've just spent 2 nights here as part of a package getting married across at the Blacksmiths.

Such a fabulous experience throughout our stay - the wedding planners being on the ball given the number of other weddings going on, fabulous food with the afternoon tea & 3 course meal after our ceremony plus plenty of choice for breakfast.

We stayed in the Ash Suite which was huge and had a comfy bed.

Thank you so much for being part of our wedding - we certainly had no issues & chose wisely. To any couples thinking about it, get it booked!

Cottages- perfect for families.
Pros:

A stop over whilst travelling through the UK. We stayed in the cottages attached to the hotel, kids loved having their own room, open plan kitchen and living room was spacious, 2 bathrooms:walk in shower and bath options- perfect for families. We had an à la carts dinner in the restaurant- delicious food and generous portions in the kids menu. All staff were lovely and friendly. Wish we could have stayed for longer

Cons:

Nothing!
