Nice hotel in a good location.

Enjoyed our two night stay. Hotel is well situated just a couple of miles off the motorway in a quiet location. Very attractive building with large extension at the back in similar style. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Rooms were quiet and clean. We dined both evenings. Reasonable choice and large platefuls! Waiter did have a tendency to want to clear plates very quickly!

My personal opinion .

The hotel has been well used , it would benefit from a lick of paint in places , cobwebs removed from public areas & a few more seating places in the public area . The hotel is in a nice & quiet location , with friendly staff . Hope this helps you deciding if it is the type of place for you .

Easy location for overnight stay northbound

Very friendly and helpful welcome from Reception staff. Found dinner menu uninspiring and unseasonal so disappointing. No bottled water in room and bar had run out of sparkling water. Felt there’s a lot of potential for this property to really develop

This could be an absolute gold mine, but the rooms are tired and the attention to detail just isn’t there! The barman walked out during our meal, so there was no one serving for a short time! Not a great choice for vegans (evening meal), but the breakfast was great!

Grubby hotel

Hotel looked nice from the outside but very deceiving once you walk through the door. Hotel room was grubby, carpets stained quite badly & the walls dirty. Bathroom tiles black with mould. Disgusted that I had to paid an extra £30 for one nights stay because I had my two very small Yorkie dogs with us.

Disappointing

Unfortunately this hotel has gone down hill badly, unlike 10 years ago when we stayed there. In big need of an update all round. Minimal staff, that are multitasking. So disappointed to say the least.

This is the second time I have stayed and on both occasions I had to speak to staff about noise. First time I was moved room due to noise from kitchen fans. The staff didn’t actually know what the noise was but sounded like a motorbike in the room. The second time I didn’t think it could happen again. This time my room window was next to the kitchen outlet fan that was pointing at the window. I had to ask for it to be switched off 3 times. It eventually went off after 10.30pm. The rooms are also dirty and smell damp. I won’t be back which is a shame because I would have stayed weekly for work. I have recorded the noise and tried to speak to staff but management are not interested.

Well located hotel, good VFM accomodation @ Gretna

Hotel for a couple of nights while we had things to do in the Gretna locale ;) Easy to find with good parking. Check in friendly with a warm welcome. Staff made it easy to get bags to the room and were super helpful. Room was clean & excellent - comfortable bed, clean bathroom. Shower lacked water flow but did the job. Plenty of power sockets & Freeview TV. Comp. Prosecco & chocs. were a surprise addition to the room on arrival! Breakfast selection was good, & included gluten free options. Friendly staff. Evening food is from a limited menu (1 night only) &, to be honest, was not so good. Starter of Mushrooms with blue cheese dressing. Served on a small half moon plate - mushrooms skated everywhere when being cut.The dressing tasted sufficiently off to be inedible. Liver parfait was OK. Mains of King Prawn linguini and Steak (+£8). Side of garlic bread (good).Prawns were barely warm and didn't taste the best. Not all eaten and one removed half chewed as I feared for possible after effects. Linguini had a slightly slimy texture to it. Steak - chips nice & hot, steak (requested rare) was almost inedible and mostly left on the plate. The burgers coming out looked far better TBH. Drinks priced as you might expect. Evening bar staff friendly. The bar (while we were there) was well used. Were happy to provide ice bucket & glasses for fizz. Weather was good during visit & outside sitting space was pleasant.Just beware of the murder of resident crows circling before roosting!
