A Balanced Experience

peaceful settinghelpful staffgood breakfastdated roomsmall showerhot water
The setting is beautiful and peaceful. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Breakfast had plenty of choice with good food quality. The grounds were beautiful. I appreciated the well-kept gardens.
The room felt a bit dated and could use some updating. The shower cubicle was small. I also found that the hot water in the bathroom was very hot with no warning signs.

Excellent Stay and Service

helpful staffground floor roomwheelchair accessconvenient location
The staff were helpful and accommodating with my ground floor room request due to a leg injury. They even provided a wheelchair, very useful. Breakfast was served downstairs to accommodate my needs, a gesture i appreciated a lot (it was really a plus!). The location provides easy access to main roads, specifically the A74, and the proximity to Gretna Outlet is very convenient.
The water in the bathroom got very hot quickly, so caution is necessary.
