2. Charming Fully Refurbished Garden Cottage

Canonbie

"A delightful rural cottage with private parking, private garden but shared space for socialising with the other holiday cottage next door. Clear instructions for arrival and access plus a warm welcome from the owner who lives nearby. Clean and well appointed character furniture. Cosy bedrooms with some storage for clothing and luggage, good kitchen amenities and welcome tea, coffee, milk and eggs. BBQ available in summer and log stove for winter. Would definitely return or recommend."

Top Dumfries and Galloway Hotel Reviews

Days Inn by Wyndham Lockerbie Annandale Water

10/10 Excellent

"Parking was easy and room was very clean. Staff were very nice and the discount on food from shops for breakfast was very welcome. Walk around the lake was a nice way to relax after long drive on busy roads"

Hetland Hall Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"lovely hotel in expansive grounds a few miles from dumfries. very relaxing. good quality room. the windows are tired but would need a bespoke replacement, but happy to overlook due to the quality elsewhere during the stay evening meal and breakfast were both very good and the restaurant seemed busy with locals, always a good sign. i recommend the porridge with honey for breakfast starters we would be very happy to stay there again"

Corner House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Work visit but got evening walking advise of the gentleman (he's never been called that before 😉) at reception/bar, thank you. Didn't bother with breakfast but was offered an earlier breakfast if required. Different room to last week, didn't have a comfy chair and the sink is very close to the bath but it was quieter and did the job. Just used the chippy for evening meals but with a pint of Best from the bar and making use of the seating area, thank you. Will hopefully be back"

The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro

8/10 Good

"Friendly staff, room was clean and adequate, no problem in getting extra beverages, breakfast very good, bed comfortable , bathroom and little small, cabinet above small sink to low when trying to wash or shave , but got on with it and did not spoil our stay, very good shower, lovely view from window overlooking harbour, enjoyed our stay over 3 nights would go back 😀"

The Famous Star Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is a lovely wee quirky hotel. The room was surprisingly large considering how narrow the hotel is! The bed was really comfortable. The Scottish breakfast was cooked to order, tasty and generous. Staff were lovely. Only thing to bear in mind is that the restaurant & bar don’t stay open late, so plan accordingly in the evening. Other really convenient aspect is that street parking is free."

Holiday Inn Dumfries by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Dumfries Holiday Inn was an overnight stay for us. The room was large and comfortable, and in the new part of the building. It was clean and functional and we had no complaints. The dinner was of a good standard, and the staff handled a change of order mid-way well. We had wine served in a slightly dirty glass, but that was dealt with promptly and with an apology and minimal fuss. The bar staff, waitress and waiter couldn’t have nicer. There was a suggestion made about a walk round the really interesting grounds of the university that the hotel sits in. The waitress knew about a map that reception had but the receptionist did not. That was sorted, so an early morning walk was taken and enjoyed. Breakfast was good and very much enjoyed. Check out was simple. A good hotel, that we would recommend and would stay at again."
