Top Auchencairn Hotel Reviews

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

8/10 Good

"The entrance way to the hotel was stunning, the road was a fair distance with woodland on both sides and arriving at the hotel frontage gave a very regal impression of days gone by. At the reception, we were welcomed by two staff members one of whom booked us in with our reservation and the other showed us to our room and talked us through the hotel and showed us the facilities (pool, gym… etc..) the room was more than average size with more than a king-size bed, en-suite, four chairs, two bureau areas, a long unit with tea, coffee etc a wall mounted tv, a balcony that over looked the golf course, on the down side no room fridge which for a hotel of such standing is a poor show. The hotel bar is well-stocked with plenty of areas to relax, and it also has a full-size snooker table for your enjoyment. The breakfast had everything you could want to help start your day. All the staff were always happy to assist in any way needed. The hotel overall is good however it is looking a bit tired in its decoration, the carpets have seen better days. A hotel of this standing and its past history are clearly missing a trick of not using multiple Scottish tartans for different areas of carpets around the hotel and naming each room/area with the tartan used that name and giving visitors even more history into the wonders of Scotland, but overall we had a most enjoyable stay at the Cally Palace"

Aberdour Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Very centre to the town and walking distance from my daughters"

The Golden Lion Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Parking is easy,beside hotel.breakfast very good, nice selection. Staff are very good, friendly and helpful. Room is clean as is the whole place. We stayed one night last year, two nights this year,same room lovely views."

The Ship Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Second stay at the Ship Inn, room is perfect, breakfast excellent. Food is terrific although the restaurant was almost full (apparently it usually is…) and this perhaps reflected in the service last night. Example, we were finished our starters and had to chase our drinks. But granted restaurant was very busy. Would certainly use again if opportunity arises."

Cottage with stunning views over Kirkcudbright Bay, a short walk from the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"The garden IS fully enclosed, making it safe for dogs - and the views are superb."

10/10 Excellent

The Birchtree Hotel

10/10 Excellent
