Kirkpatrick Durham Hotels

"Scottish gothic meets Fawlty towers. Carpets were worn, bed like marshmallow, bath big enough for toddlers. Food was ok but not brilliant. Staff were entertaining. Dark wood panelling, windows that needed a good clean. But the bones were good and I could feel the ghost of Rabbie walking the grounds"

"On getting to our room we found someone was already in there, so had to take some extra time returning to Reception only to find our room had been accidentally given away. This was fairly easily amended, with us being given a different room instead but without a balcony. We could’ve done without spending the time sorting this out especially lugging our bags and children around in the process. However, the staff were very courteous, with one lady especially being extremely helpful and making our children feel very welcome. The leisure facilities were excellent, and the breakfast fantastic."

"We stayed in the Annex and it was beautiful and private. It was updated, bright and clean. However the bed and couch desperately need to be replaced. The couch was broken and hitting the floor and the bed was old and springy. Also, we got great recommendations for dinner, but once we decided to go eat we were informed by every single restaurant that we needed a reservation. That would have been good to note ahead of time since that seems to be well known in downtown Dumfries. I would still highly recommend this place."

"Great price, comfy bed, friendly staff and exceptionally clean."

"Breakfast was very good. Room was clean.Pillows not so good like a slab of concrete and towels were more like a hand towel to shower with and very thin. But overall a pleasant stay. "
