Loved by Solway Lodge Hotel guests
"They have their own gluten free menu offering lots of options, the food was plentiful and delicious and the best bit.. she didn't get any reaction, they have separate friers so she could have the chips AND they served gluten free lager!."
"We had dinner there with friends we were meeting and it was a delight to see half portions on the menu (for us older folk)."
"I ate in the bar - their menu is excellent! I went for Balmoral Chicken, a winner in my eyes."

modern designwell-kept roomsfaulty televisionsmall shower
The rooms are decorated very well. The rooms are clean too. I particularly found the modern design excellent. I liked that the rooms were well kept (such attention to detail!).
The television in my room did not work. I heard twice someone would fix the problem but that did not occur. The shower was a tight squeeze. There were no decent shower gels available.

the food in the restaurant was very good. i enjoyed the generous portion sizes. the bar had a good selection of drinks. the ample parking was also a great advantage.
my room felt quite small. the tv did not work . someone said they would fix it but nothing happened. the view from my window was also disappointing because it faced a roof.
