Easy parking, welcoming and easy check-in, staff generally warm and friendly. Important first impression for the weary traveller. Limited, pricey menu, but food at dinner and breakfast very good
This is one of those reviews that I hate writing, because Springkell is wonderful and I don't want everyone to know about it :)
The staff were amazing and extremely helpful and kind. We stayed for one night and arrived at midday, had a lovely walk round the beautiful grounds and then spent a couple of hours in Annan where a lot of the cafes and shops are also pet friendly.
Back at Springkell had a nice dinner and early night. Breakfast was great too.
Will definitely be staying there again if travelling between the South of England and Northern Scotland.
The staff were super friendly, the room and surroundings were very comfortable. We had everything we required for a relalaxing stay. The food for breakfast was of an amazing quality and service was top notch.
Amazing staff so friendly and a beautiful clean bright interior, excellent food and ambience, we highly recommend this hotel.

Room was brilliant staff let me check in late left my key at reception for me, hands down best hotel experience I’ve had room was so lovely and felt very luxurious!
What an absolutely lovely hotel, only stopped overnight but during the stay the staff were fantastic, nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely stay there again.
On arrival we were very impressed by the location, set literally up a track in its own amazing grounds.
Booked in very quick and easy by Georgie, she was very polite and helpful.
The room was clean
