"This is a cracking flat within a short walk of Dumfries town centre. From the outside, the flats don’t look too inspiring, but it’s clearly been renovated recently and it’s been done really nicely. The two rooms are pretty much identical doubles, and the living room/kitchen is a good size. Nice views of the river from most rooms, and a lovely small balcony coming off the main living area. Would definitely come back if in the area."

White Hart Hotel

8/10 Good

"Only a overnight stay arrived late afternoon to Very welcoming staff out for meal shortly after arrival to a restaurant which was a few minutes away .so very central Had lovely breakfast in morning. Good Value"

The Hill Hotel

8/10 Good

"Secure, clean & friendly hotel with car parking a short walk from central Dumfries"

The Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast and the restaurant was really good"

Friars Carse Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We recently spent a night in a deluxe room to break up our return journey home from the Hebrides. We love older, quirky hotels and this one is a real gem. Firstly the grounds are stunning and our early morning walk beside the river was a wonderful way to start the day. The hotel itself has lots of character, but don't come here expecting polished perfection. Some areas of the hotel look a little tired and could do with refurbishing, but all the bits that mattered were fabulous and everywhere was clean. Our deluxe room was large, comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The dining at the hotel was far better than we'd expected with a wonderful menu and some excellent seafood dishes and decent wine. Service was swift, friendly and unpretentious. Partway through our stay we found out more about the history of the building and it was eye-opening to say the least. I had an extremely strange lucid dream combined with sleep paralysis...or at least that's what I think could explain the laughter of a little girl right beside my bed at 3am and me trying to wake my husband but being unable to move...! Anyway, regardless, we had a fabulous stay, it was good value for money and we'd not hesitate to stay there again."

Barholm Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"Great budget place and welcoming staff"

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is delightfully old school. Table cloths in the large dining room and carpeted floors making for a peaceful atmosphere where one could be heard. The balcony in our spacious bedroom was a joy from where we were able to occasionally see red deer. The staff were enormously helpful in moving luggage - there are no lifts. All in all a delightful experience."

Imperial Hotel

8/10 Good

"My friend and I spent Wednesday night there, and received a VERY friendly welcome from a nice lady at the reception desk. Unfortunately, there are no lifts and the stairs are rather steep and spiral too, which as two elderly men with walking sticks we found quite hazardous with our luggage. When we got to our room, which was on the first floor, the light in the shower room and loo was broken, resulting in complete darkness with the door shut. I went back and spoke to the lady who had welcomed us and her surprise at the light not working seemed 100% genuine and she apologised profusely and said she would "get it fixed". Then she very quickly and efficiently got us moved to another room, also on the first floor, which was absolutely perfect. I would recommend this hotel for its cleanliness and friendliness but disabled people need to be aware of the stairs."

The Birchtree Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed just the one night. The staff were very friendly and eager to provide good service. We enjoyed a pleasant drink on the lovely patio overlooking the river followed by a tasty meal in the bar. Breakfast was excellent . Our room was fairly basic with quite a small ensuite . The WiFi was good. We were pleased with our stay which represented good value."

The Bruce Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"large, clean room with plenty of added touches - hairdryer, tea tray, toiletries, loads of storage space. Knowledgeable staff went over and above to help me. Very quiet, easy to find, shower and bath in bathroom."
