Nobody greeted us as we had to let ourselves in via a key safe & it felt creepy on entrance. The heating made banging noises which was annoying. I don’t think the hosts know as they are not on site in the evening. Breakfast was lovely and it has plenty of free parking. The building is quite run down & needs some renovation work.

This property needs renovation! Could look so impressive but looks like it has been languishing for some time. Entry was guesswork! Bedroom was clean & bed comfortable. Dark heavy furniture & dark walls. Windows needed painting. Depressing.

A very straightforward remote check in by phone on arrival. Very quiet despite being on a main road. We were amazed how quiet when we saw lots of other guests at breakfast time. Lovely room, great sleep. Thanks

Lovely cozy atmosphere. However the room was cold and damp. Lack of hangers or hook in bathroom would have been much appreciated. Lack of space to lay luggage. Draws in dresser very difficult to access without moving furniture.

We arrived at the property with the door locked, no lights on. Had to phone a number to acquire the keys to get in were given a code to do this. Eventually arr into our room. Very shabby, bathroom smelly, lavatory seat was loose all in all very disappointing. The whole room needed a steam clean , the bed was a very small double, sadly we hardly slept. Having said all if that the lady serving in the breakfast room was very pleasant, breakfast was definately average. We wont stay there again. Whoever owns the property need to up there game . Apologies for being so blunt but it needed to be said.

On the whole staying here was okay and suited our needs. The windows in the bedroom were in a very poor state and dirty. Breakfast choices were limited.

Good location

There was no staff on site when we checked in. This is fine when there's no issues with your stay but we experienced noise issues at night. I tried to call the number left at the door for check in and when a very sleep woman answered who said she'd contact the people staying in the room next to us we thought our problems were solved. Unfortunately, when we called back 10 minutes later as the noise was persisting, our calls had been diverted to voicemail. It seems sensible to only run a hotel if you're going to staff it properly! Needless to say, we wouldn't stay here again.

Excellent value and big rooms / beds!

Rooms could do with a thorough clean to remove the multiple cobwebs around the ceiling and a good hoover of the carpets to remove the layers of dust on the corners and around the legs of the bed.
Pile of hair on the bathroom floor was difficult to miss too.
Mattress on the bed is ridiculously firm resulting in a poor nights sleep and aggravated back this morning.
Breakfast was very nice this morning.

Stayed in one of the outside rooms. Was warm , pleasant clean and private. Only thing was whichever room attached to my bathroom I could hear toilet pulled and shower going rather annoying. Rattling of the stones on drive everytime a car went in or out. But all in all very pleasant stay and breakfast is absolutely lovely.

The room was very well appointed. - modern good bathroom facilities. - with period Arts & Crafts furniture which really set the tone of a great visit.
Known house from childhood - passed everyday to and from school for 12 years. - such a treat to stay in that much admired period property.
Would highly recommend - so convenient for all local amenities - close to town (pleasant stroll) - backing onto golf course - quarter of a mile from A75. Knowing the town well. - this is an ideal base location for any break.
Grounds and period features of house provide an all round excellent package. Room was like a private flat. - very comfortable in peaceful grounds with mature trees set back from main road.

First class and great value. Comfortable, warm and clean. Plenty of parking space and just a short distance from the town centre.
Despite Covid, the breakfast was excellent with plenty of choices. Have stayed here before and will certainly do so next time I am in Dumfries.

Good place to stay whilst visiting the hospital. Room was comfortable and the breakfast was great. Super price for a 1 night stay. Room was tired in decor and the fact the shower door was missing meant there was a lot of water going onto the bathroom floor.
