Lovely hotel in Castle Douglas

We loved this hotel. The staff and owners were all so lovely and helpful, giving us some bread so our daughter could feed the same at the nearby loch. The meals were great and the rooms comfortable. Wholly recommended.

Very pleasant stay

David and his team looked after us well, providing a nice comfortable room with good quality beds, a bathroom and towels. Downstairs is the local bar and dining area where a good selection of beers are served. The Kings Arms is located in the central part of Castle Douglas and includes secure parking. We had a nice stay.

Fantastic hotel!

Absolutely fantastic hotel with full restaurant and bar. Dog friendly with a private car park. Delicious food with quick and friendly service. Room always clean and comfortable with possibly the greatest shower I have ever used - hot and strong! So grateful for the fantastic stay, we had come up to allow me to take my driving test and their fabulous breakfast helped prepare me! I passed my test! Thank you again.

Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.

Last minute break with our dog for tge Soap box Derby. Everything went to plan with lots of communication. No issues booking in, made welcome even the dog and everything explained if we stayed out late. Quality filling breakfast.
