The Dumfries Arms Hotel is a contemporary, stylish boutique hotel that has a rich 300 year history behind it. Situated in the ancient burgh of Cumnock the hotel has played host to many colourful characters over the years. These include Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns who spent many a night at the old hotel bar, entertaining the locals.
Sir Walter Scott, the poet and novelist who frequented the hotel in times gone by was quoted to say 'Old Cumnock, where the beds are as hard as planks, sir'. How times have changed. The old hotel has undergone a complete transformation and now boasts one of Ayrshire's largest and most stylish wedding venues along with 26 elegant bedrooms, our popular restaurant and a relaxed lounge bar with our private dining room for those special occasions.

Stayed here in November 2021.
Robyn the receptionist is the best thing about this hotel.
Room was clean but cold.
Window wide open when we arrived and room never really warmed up.
Shower was warm not hot and not a great flow.
Could basically hear every word the people in the next room were saying. 😕

Had a great stay here. Prosecco and strawberries were lovely.
A bit disappointed when our chicken liver pate arrived with oatcakes instead of melba toast. If we had been told of this change we would have ordered something else.
Would have loved a bloody Mary cocktail but apparently no ingredients to make one!
Lovely breakfast in the morning.
