Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds and a very good breakfast. The friendly staff provide great service, although there were some issues with noise in certain rooms. The location is ideal for exploring the Galloway area, and the dining experience is enjoyable. Overall, a good value for money option.
The hotel is situated on one of the town's main streets, surrounded by beautiful countryside and close to the ferry terminal for an onward journey to Ireland. The rooms are spacious and clean, offering a good outlook over the countryside, but there is no lift for less able guests. The service is top-notch with friendly and helpful staff, especially Callum who goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a great stay. The dining options are really good with plenty of choices and delicious offerings. The location is convenient for exploring the area with nearby attractions like the RSPB site and historic Whithorn.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with threadbare carpets in the room, making it convenient for working as a business traveler. The room was large and comfortable, offering an amazing view, which I believe is ideal for staying with pets.
