Although the setting is stunning it was the food and the service that made our three day stay special .From the splendid breakfasts to what turned out to be one of the best valentines dinners we have ever had, (barbary duck with raspberry sauce) cooked to pink perfection. Nothing was to much trouble at any time. The room was spacious... More

Stayed here for 1 night lastnight, 12th Feb 2012 as a family of 4 with our 2 children age 7&8. Its what you'd expect from a traditional Scottish hotel in a lovely setting. Loads of walks around the large grounds with the River Nith running through which is famed for its fishing, something the hotel prides itself on. When I... More

Awoke in morning and everything fine as it should be ..had an ok breakfast and went off into a cold wet Dumfries for the day. Arrived back at hotel about 4.30 pm and went to dry off and get... More

This was an excellent overnight stop and rather quaint. It was quiet there were not many residents but it was mid week in winter. It would be a great place for a wedding reception as the grounds and surrounding countryside are just beautiful. The building itself originates from 1800's. Had dinner (poached salmon which was devine) and an excellent bottle... More

This place is lovely, we had a few wonderful meals here, in particular one evening meal was exceptionally tasteful with an excellent wine recommended by one of the staff. Our room was spacious as well as the bath. The building... More

We booked this hotel as our first night as part of a week long trip around Scotland. The hotel itself is in an amazing location and the river is wonderful to sit by. The welcome however could not be worse. Rude arrogant and insulting. So appalled we nearly left but after 6 hours driving decided to stay and get out... More

Stopped here on our way further North and discovered a real gem, had a superb dinner on the evening we arrived a really nice room in a great setting. Only one complaint really, hotels of this class should not be serving breakfasts on hot plates. Just doesn't work, food is either luke warm or dried out. Surely sufficient staff could... More

I stayed in this hidden gem for 3 nights on a full board basis with 2 angling friends while we fished the hotel beat of the river Nith during Nov 2011. We all agreed that this hotel provides a relaxing break in beautiful mature surroundings, with good food and helpful staff. Its not the Ritz and it does not market... More
