Find hotels near Ruthwell Cross, Dumfries from $64

"OK, stairs might not be an issue for you in which case you can ignore them, but if you have mobility problems then this is probably not the place for you. Knees that don't do stairs well groaned when faced with the long flight up to reception and went decidedly wobbly when faced with the climb to the rooms, which was steeper than one would encounter in a modern building. In my experience it's not difficult to find fault with the condition of old hotels, but the Corner House decor and appearance were flawless. The rooms, including the bathroom, were spotless and while the bath towels were a bit small, it would be churlish to hold that against them - they functioned as they should! Very comfortable, even a TV which was tuned in correctly with a working remote. The only odd thing was that the bedside tables were far too high to comfortably access when in bed and made it impossible to switch the tall bedside lamps on or off without getting up. Not sure why anyone would do that. They look good but function really should take precedence over form sometimes. The staff were friendly and helpful and attended to our need to cancel one night efficiently and without fuss. Breakfast was excellent. We're moving to the area so probably won't be stopping again but I wish we'd found this place earlier. Except for the stairs..."

"Room not fully adapted but we managed ok, service was very good, staff pleasant and helpful"

"On arrival, the reception staff were extremely welcoming and friendly. Room was clean and tidy and beds were very comfortable so a great night sleep. We visited the bar for an evening meal, we arrived at 5:30pm but later realised that food was not served until 6pm, therefore the service on ordering the meal appeared somewhat disjointed the staff were very quiet and the servers may have been new to the venue as they appeared inexperienced - just required some communication to advise re the timings etc; that said the food was very good, well presented and delicious. Breakfast was upstairs and we received a friendly welcome and asked if we had eaten there before, we advised we hadn't and we were promptly told how the breakfast service worked, a much warmer reception than for the evening meal. Timings allowed for breakfast were short, however, we can understand for the summer months as different wedding parties may be booked. The grounds are lovely and we took a sneak peek inside the chapel, very pretty and we could easily imagine a wedding service taking place. We were only here for 1 night and overall enjoyed our stay, the welcoming reception team were, for us, the highlight. "
