A perfect stop over on our journey to the Scottish Islands. Just off the main route, a welcoming hostess, a clean and warm room with good facilities, good breakfast options - well cooked, and restaurants in walking distance. All at a fair price. Recommended.

Alexander House is right on the border of Gretna Green just as you come into it from Gretna. Catherine and Steve greeted us as if we were long lost friends and made us feel extremely welcome. The room (indeed the whole house) was scrupulously clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, and the breakfast was perfect. Catherine made the bacon, egg... More

We've just got back from a lovely weekend in Gretna. To begin with Catherine was very quick in replying to our initial enquiry. We booked a couple of rooms, 1 for ourselves and the other for my mum. When we arrived Catherine met us at the front door and spent a few minutes chatting with us.. The grounds are spotless... More

Steve & Catherine were very welcoming hosts- we stayed for a couple of nights, our room was spotlessly clean and well appointed. Steve cooks a wide variety of options for breakfast. The reception on the TV in our room was variable, losing the picture frequently, although this didn't detract too much from our stay.
