Can not fault the place. We had a very pleasant stay. We stayed in room 21 on the 26th August. Food was splendid. The barmaid was amazing the owner was great. I'd highly suggest the mussels for starters. Can not wait to get and stay there again.

Originally had booked for a party of 10 in 2019 for a bike ride base in 2020. Covid killed that and 2021 was the rescheduled trip. Communication with the manager was excellent throughout. Rooms are clean and basic. Nothing modern but not an issue. Food and drink all good both quality and cost. Beer garden could do with a tidy up but other than that all good. Staff were excellent and clear the manager runs a tight ship.

Enjoyed a nice rest here. The guy at the reception desk, Calum, was quite a character. He keeps his staff on their toes, for sure. Enjoyed the breakfast, bath, tea and coffee facilities and of course the comfy bed. Can definitely recommend 👌

It’s a decent hotel in Newton Stewart. The decor is a little old but in 2021 it’s probably more nostalgic kitsch rather than really out of date. I had been walking on the local Galloway hills for 36 hours (should have been 24 hours but the guy with the map was missing a few brain cells that day). The dude on the front desk was kind enough to let me in after midnight even though I was a lot later than I planned. The old school bath was much needed was able to fill it with cold water to soothe my messed up legs. The full Scottish breakfast excellent and the service was great.

Lovely little hotel. Water pressure in my room wasn't the best but it didn't really impact our stay. Very accommodating
