Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near Lockerbie train station and offers easy access to the Highlands. The rooms are spacious with a nice bathroom but have tiny shower cubicles. The service provided is efficient but lacks a personal touch. The hotel is due for refurbishment, bringing anticipation for improved facilities. The dining experience is satisfactory with the option for a barbeque. Overall, the value for money is fair considering the upcoming enhancements.
I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were cozy and clean, the staff provided excellent service, and the location was convenient. However, the dining options were a bit lacking, and the price could be a better value for what is offered.
The hotel's location was convenient near Lockerbie train station. The rooms had a large ensuite bathroom, though the shower cubicle was tiny. The service was excellent, especially with housekeeping and laundry. The dining experience was average, with a focus on local seafood. The hotel offers easy access to the Garden of Remembrance.
