They also have a self contained flat to rent for families if they prefer that instead of being in the hotel. They cater for golfers too as their are several golf courses near by.

The reception is clean and tidy, the lady on reception over my stay was very friendly and helpful, she actually showed an interest in my reasons for my stay. There is a vending machine within the hotel if you get peckish or thirsty. Each room is well equiped with tea and coffee making facilities and TV's. There is ample parking outside and the hotel is next to the Solway Gate which is fantastic. This is an excellent priced hotel where kids stay free. The only downside is the hotel does not offer air-conditioning.

Friars Corse is a hotel located off the A76 in Dumfries and Galloway. A long driveway leads up to…read morethe Country House and you will feel away from the world straight away. The check in and out were quick enough and the receptionistd Nick and Alex were very helpful with all sorts of inquiries and needs I had, like trying to get the lamp to work. lol Its true that some rooms might need an overhaul, but it's nice to rest in an old hotel that was opened in 1938. A few paintings in some of the bedrooms and even the bathrooms would make the rooms even more cozy. The bathroom I had looked and felt like a hospital bathroom. The estate and previous house however has much more history and even goes back to the dark ages. The house has also has connections to Robert Burns who apparently made uninvited advances to the lady of the house and was banned from the estate. A small cottage, called Hermitage, nearby was used by him when he stayed in the area and he left part of a poem inscribed in the glass window. Lots of walks along the river and around the house can be enjoyed. The dining experience was a bit on the meager side as not much choice. For 2 course you pay £21, what is not good when there is nothing on the menu you like . Having said this they make exceptions. Everybody was really nice and I will definitely be back!

The Cally Palace Hotel is located in the small town of Gatehouse-of-Fleet near Kirkcudbright,…read moreDumfries and Galloway. It is a long established hotel which was once owned by Trust House Forte prior to it being taken over by the McMillan family in the early 80's. It is 70 bedrooms which are all tastefully decorated, a 15 metre pool and an 18 hole golf course. This is a quaint hotel that seems lost in a bygone age which is not necessarily a bad thing. I enjoyed sitting in one of the lounges taking tea and there are many others that do too. Although children are allowed here there are not a lot of them so there is a tranquil atmosphere. Even the guests that stay for the golf seem to have a bit more reserve than some others I have come across. The hotel offers a good base to explore the area which is a great touristy destination in the summer. Point to note the hotel closes after Hogmanay and reopens completely in the first week of March although weekend breaks may be available during January and February.

We stayed in the little out-house, 'out back' and it was perfect! It's a quaint little B&B but it was perfect for our little weekend getaway, it can sleep 3 people (which we needed for the first night), the view is excellent, the staff is very pleasant, the bed was HUGE, good pillows, excellent breakfast, phone and internet reception is great - we'd stay here again! My only small complaints is that it was too hot overnight and the towels were the size of postage stamps. That aside it was a great stay, so very relaxing and removing from all things 'normal' and we'd love to go back!

Or if you're a bit posh then theres the cairndale, station or aston hotel. However this is an ok little guest house, with a decent bar, and nice food, and its two minutes walk from the town centre, so if you're staying over for a night then this place is cool, any longer than one night then I'd go somewhere a bit nicer.

Friendly, helpful and attentive service, but not overbearing. The food is top notch in terms of imagination, preparation and presentation. Most of the guests are older folks, so it is very quiet. Having said that, for those looking for a romantic getaway in south west Scotland, look no further, this is THE place for you. If the weather cooperates, there is great hiking on the sea cliffs nearby.
