We're so pleased that we found this little gem. We needed a room suddenly and rang a few places to find they were fully booked. Then we found this hotel. The hosts were very welcoming, the room was comfortable and well equipped and the location is just minutes from the rail station. Thank you so much, it was a real pleasure to stay with you.

A fantastic place to stay, with homely and clean rooms, comfortable beds, a very welcoming feel from the moment you arrive. Great location with plenty of parking and storage available to riders/cyclists. Well stocked bar for the evening, and a fantastic breakfast - you will not leave hungry in the morning!Will definitely stay again in the future.

Had a one night stay and it was excellent. A 10 minute walk into the centre where there is a wide choice of bars/restaurants. Our room was lovely, clean and the bathroom was huge. Full cooked breakfast to start the day, and Terry kept us entertained and provided some things to do. We did the electric brae, very weird.

We stayed here during our stopover in Dumfries. This hotel is well located, a few minutes from the train station and walking distance to the town Centre and river. The Proprietors Terry and Lynne Hawkins were both kind and welcoming. …

Massive room and bathroom. Breakfast was lovely. Owner suggested great places to visit. Would definitely stay again. Short walk into Dumfries, opposite train station. Ideally situated for a short break or a stop over on a longer trip like us.

We really enjoyed our stay this weekend! Our room was cleaned to a very high standard and the breakfast this morning was amazing! The owners are so attentive and even remembered I was vegetarian and put plant based butter on our table in case I wanted it! We will definitely stay here again. Thankyou both so much!
