I stayed for 3 nights in late May/early June for a wildlife photography weekend with Scottish Photography Hides. The hotel was in the perfect location for the hides. The room itself was basic but clean and comfortable. …

Last minute booking as we were touring on our motorbikes. Found this little quiet pub in the village and it was a great little stop over. Parked the bikes right outside the bedroom window. Bed and Breakfast was value for money. Staff were very friendly too. Definitely book this place again if we're in the area.

Cheap and cheerful hotel/pub. Lovely food, great staff and lively, entertaining crowd in the bar ( it was the night Scotland got knocked out of the Euros) who made us Sassenachs very welcome. Rooms a bit basic but reflected in price. Ideal for 2 old bikers touring Scotland.

Pub & restaurant are only open on the weekend.Rooms that are attached to the pub. If you're staying midweek, you don't get food. And there's nothing else available unless you want travel out to Kirkcudbright or Dumfries.WiFi was nonexistent.Room was clean, spacious and comfortable.
