"This is a cracking flat within a short walk of Dumfries town centre. From the outside, the flats don’t look too inspiring, but it’s clearly been renovated recently and it’s been done really nicely. The two rooms are pretty much identical doubles, and the living room/kitchen is a good size. Nice views of the river from most rooms, and a lovely small balcony coming off the main living area. Would definitely come back if in the area."

The Garret

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a great atmosphere in The Garret and family friendly. Rooms were immaculate and loved the design. The food was amazing and good choice of food was available. Thanks to staff for a great stay. Kircudbright is a great location for a stay. Lots of galleries, events and the scenery is beautiful. Locals were friendly and helpful."

White Hart Hotel

8/10 Good

"Only a overnight stay arrived late afternoon to Very welcoming staff out for meal shortly after arrival to a restaurant which was a few minutes away .so very central Had lovely breakfast in morning. Good Value"

The Hill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Secure, clean & friendly hotel with car parking a short walk from central Dumfries"

The Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast and the restaurant was really good"

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is delightfully old school. Table cloths in the large dining room and carpeted floors making for a peaceful atmosphere where one could be heard. The balcony in our spacious bedroom was a joy from where we were able to occasionally see red deer. The staff were enormously helpful in moving luggage - there are no lifts. All in all a delightful experience."

Imperial Hotel

8/10 Good

"My friend and I spent Wednesday night there, and received a VERY friendly welcome from a nice lady at the reception desk. Unfortunately, there are no lifts and the stairs are rather steep and spiral too, which as two elderly men with walking sticks we found quite hazardous with our luggage. When we got to our room, which was on the first floor, the light in the shower room and loo was broken, resulting in complete darkness with the door shut. I went back and spoke to the lady who had welcomed us and her surprise at the light not working seemed 100% genuine and she apologised profusely and said she would "get it fixed". Then she very quickly and efficiently got us moved to another room, also on the first floor, which was absolutely perfect. I would recommend this hotel for its cleanliness and friendliness but disabled people need to be aware of the stairs."

The Birchtree Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed just the one night. The staff were very friendly and eager to provide good service. We enjoyed a pleasant drink on the lovely patio overlooking the river followed by a tasty meal in the bar. Breakfast was excellent . Our room was fairly basic with quite a small ensuite . The WiFi was good. We were pleased with our stay which represented good value."

Aberdour Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Location is covent. Parking a plus."

Ernespie House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Individual styled place -what it lacks in modern finesse(if that’s your thing ) it makes up a hundred times in charm and location -add the fabulous staff -we loved it !"
