The reception is clean and tidy, the lady on reception over my stay was very friendly and helpful, she actually showed an interest in my reasons for my stay. There is a vending machine within the hotel if you get peckish or thirsty. Each room is well equiped with tea and coffee making facilities and TV's. There is ample parking outside and the hotel is next to the Solway Gate which is fantastic. This is an excellent priced hotel where kids stay free. The only downside is the hotel does not offer air-conditioning.

My family stayed here for 3 nights and loved every minute of it. The hotel took care of our every need. We arrived late at night to check in and the chef offered to still stay up to cook us dinner, and it was amazing! Beat whiskey and Best Veggie Haggis I had on the entire trip! The rooms were beautiful and the location was perfect. Thank you for the free umbrellas, the free wifi, and letting us barrow some outlet converters. We love and appreciate all you have done for our family during our stay. We hope to be back again! Xx

We arrived at the location over looking the Solway Firth and made our way inside. We gave our name and were shown to a table that had such a delightful view of the Firth. We looked at the menus, including the specials one, and chose our starters and mains. The Potato leeke soup that was offered up on the menu and some ham croquettes. When they came to the table, the soups were in these deep, elegant bowls and was absolutely scrumptious. The three little ham pockets were delivered in the most picturesque way, and tasted divine. Our mains were just as fabulous. Two of us ordered the Burger, with Lockerbie cheddar, onion rings and a side of chips and coleslaw. The other of our party ordered the Chicken and Haggis pie with red cabbage. When the food was delivered they were all incredibly appetizing looking. Our burgers were big and juicy, nothing extra needed! The onion rings (4) were large and crispy, the batter so delectable. The chips were great! A nice hard fry on those made them perfect, but sadly the cole slaw was heavy on raw onion and I could not eat it. My friend loved her Haggis and chicken pie, it looked amazing but I was not brave enough to try it. Mea culpa. The ambience and history of this location make it a worth while destination when you're visiting this area of the UK.

Rooms are the usual good standard that you expect from Travelodge; a very comfy king size bed and minimal room facilities. But clean, and with a good shower. Breakfast is limited either to a pre-ordered pack of cereal and juice, or you can go to the Starbucks next door. The options there are not much better but at least they have drinkable coffee. If you are prepared to walk 5 minutes and negotiate the busy roundabout, there is a Table Table restaurant next to the Premier Inn across the road that offers a more extensive (and expensive) pub grub-style menu. Other than that, you need to be prepared to drive into town for a decent meal. There's also a Shell garage with a wee shop that you have to drive through to get out so don't forget to fuel up!

Their menu was diverse, but there were 4 steaks listed. There were several Indian inspired options, Scampi (which in this case was fried shrimp - not the garlic butter shirmp as we know it) and other fish dishes. And the like. I opted for the 12 oz ribeye, I ordered it Medium Rare. When it arrived, there were peas, carrots, 2 onion rings and a baked potato on the plate as well as the steak, which was a weird amalgam of Med rare and well done. I'm told that folks in the town of Annan tend to eat their steaks hockey puck style. Ah well. Otherwise it tasted Ok.

The Crown Hotel has an eatery located on their lower floor, very European in style, and all in all, it appeared to be a clean establishment. Dark pub-y colours, rich woods and a HUGE bar dominated the interior. So, we chose a seat by the window that allowed a bit of light in. Their menu was a bit large, (odd compared to others I've seen in rhe last few days) so we chose our soups, Potato Leek for myself, and a tomato bisque for him, and ordered our mains as well, both of us opted for cheeseburgers (mine with bacon) and fries. The soups did not disappoint! Both were served in crocks, with a fresh baked roll and irish butter. Mine was in a thin chicken broth but chock full of both potatoes and leeks. The pets was a creamy tomato with a swirl of sour cream and both were absolutely flavorful! The Hamburgers tho... *waggles hand* Pre-formed and pre-frozen patties, akin to bubba burgers back home, served on a sessame seed bun, with lettuce, tomato and onion, american sliced cheese (Blerg) and a rasher - delicious bacon, but not at ALL what I'm used to. The fries were thin cut and crispy, very very good. And the plate had a small salad of lettuce, onion, cucumber, bell pepper and tomato, barely a half cup, but totally normal an just dressed with pepper. There are no dressings ever offered, you might be lucky to have it come dressed with vinegar already. Over all, a nice shop. When I visit again, I'll come back.
