A beautiful hotel in a great location but food disappointing
Pros:

Beautiful location and the hotel was run by friendly staff that were very accomadating. The room was a large room and the overall standards was very good..loved the location was very peaceful.

Cons:

Only few issues we had was the shower hardly ran any water and was hard to get temperature setting right. The food at dinner really want great hence the 2nd night we ate elsewhere. Would have been good to have a mini fridge also.

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.

The hotel provided a relaxing place to stay after a busy conference in Glasgow.
Pros:

We stayed in the bridal suit. It was large and great value for money. Also had a great view. There are also excellent circular walks only a shor car journey away.
