Excellent, convenient location to stay during the Wigtown book festival. Particular highlight being the friendly, informative staff. We were delighted to experience the delicious Scottish breakfast each morning, ingredients sourced from local farms.
It was clean and the staff offered to help with any bags or see us to our room.
We stayed one night on our way through town. This is an old building. It was exactly what we expected and needed. If you want a new hotel this is not it. You will be disappointed. However, it is quiet, worn but clean, cozy, and very convenient at a very reasonable price.

The linked room gave us lots of space and the breakfast was great.
Decent hotel a little old, very quiet and clean, wifi good, good breakfast. Plenty bars restraunts close by, entrance to car park tight parking out front on main road but parking spaces go quick, definitely would stay again.
We received adequate service from staff some friendly some not. The accommodation was appalling- run down in dire need of renovations please view photos to explain
We were very happy with the accommodation at the Bruce Hotel, given that there were some mixed reviews. Roma are large and beds comfortable.

Disliked: Amenities
strange place to stay, no evening meal available as no chef. The notice looked old, so how long without evening meals? Seemed to have very long stay residents????
Very run down and tired. Everything in the room was past its best or broken. Bed was dreadful, very thin old sprung mattress, felt every lump! No bar, no restaurant, no beer garden. Breakfast was the only plus point.
No bar 6months..no resteraunt 3 yrs..( not stated in booking page) 1st room window didnt close.. Moved to another room where radiator only worked 1st and 3rd. Third.. 2nd third stone cold...

Rather basic, unhelpful manager when we asked for short (30min) extension to checkout time.
Room - whole hotel really - lacking charm, pretty shabby, broken down.
Breakfast little choice but adequate.
