This place does good food but you need to get in early on the weekend otherwise you will have a table in the grim part of the pub where the pool players are. read more

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

The King Arms Hotel was very comfortable, clean, and hospitable!…read more On our journey 2014, we had left Belfast Ireland very late in the day on a Stena Line car ferry to cross the Irish Sea heading to Scotland. By the time we had arrived at Cairnryan Port Scotland it was very dark, but we decided to start driving the 200 mile trek from Cairnryan Port on the A77 roadway to Lochness Lake located approx (200) miles away. Being so very tired, and struggling to drive any further, we began looking for places to rest on the long dark roads around Ballantrae, this is when we stumbled upon the King Arms Hotel. The King Arms staff booked us in late without any trouble, were very polite and offered us a late night dinner and drinks. We ended up playing pool in the pub area, having drinks, and speaking to the locals in the pub about the history of the area. In the morning, in the dining room area, they had a very nice breakfast prepared for us to sustain us on our journey, the atmosphere was amazingly family like. It was a very unexpected and pleasant stop on our journey into Scotland! If you walk to the west of the main parking lot, there is a small trail which will lead you through a large grassy soccer field, this trail will take you to the shore of Ballantrae Bay, the trail is approximately 700 feet in length. The view in the morning hours was amazing!!!!! Definitely Recommend!
Cally Palace Hotel
The Cally Palace Hotel is located in the small town of Gatehouse-of-Fleet near Kirkcudbright,…read moreDumfries and Galloway. It is a long established hotel which was once owned by Trust House Forte prior to it being taken over by the McMillan family in the early 80's. It is 70 bedrooms which are all tastefully decorated, a 15 metre pool and an 18 hole golf course. This is a quaint hotel that seems lost in a bygone age which is not necessarily a bad thing. I enjoyed sitting in one of the lounges taking tea and there are many others that do too. Although children are allowed here there are not a lot of them so there is a tranquil atmosphere. Even the guests that stay for the golf seem to have a bit more reserve than some others I have come across. The hotel offers a good base to explore the area which is a great touristy destination in the summer. Point to note the hotel closes after Hogmanay and reopens completely in the first week of March although weekend breaks may be available during January and February.

We had our wedding here last year, and I must say that after a few hiccups they really pulled the…read morestops out and were excellent. New Lanark is a village designed by Robert Owen, an industrial revolutionary who wanted to give his workers a safe place to live and work and to halt the exploitation of children. He ran mills which have now been converted into an interactive museum, a visitor centre and a hotel. We booked the hotel for our wedding reception (we had the meal in the function room in the hotel then moved over to the Institute in the Vistor Centre for the ceilidh as there was more room). Had a few worries because there is a noise limiter in the hotel function room and there was the possibilty that one may be installed in the Institute room and our band wouldnt play if there was one , but that didnt come to anything. They also cocked up some of the room bookings for our guests who were staying, but all of the staff were extremely apologetic and gave us room upgrades and smoothed everything out. On they day though, they were excellent. I can totally recommend Lee, who made the day run like clockwork and also Helen at the Institute for being so accommodating and for putting on a fab spread for our evening guests! The food was very good, much better than I expected from a hotel wedding with 120 odd guests having a sit down meal (it should have been good given the price, but I often think that wedding food in that kind of venue can be mediocre at best!) The wedding packages as always were quite expenisve so we just paid per head for the meal. We transported some of our flowers from the church windows to use as centrepieces for the tables, we had our own piper, we didnt bother with different coloured linen, we brought our own wine and paid corkage (bought from the Wine Society), so we managed to save a bit on the package which had stuff in it we didnt need or want. I must say though that they were really flexible with substituing and negociating the packages, so if you had your own piper you could swap to include canapes or something of similar "value". We just had too many things ourselved to warrent the package and to warrent the substitutions. Wonderful day - ran like clockwork (though I did end up being a little late!) but thoroughly recommend NLM

Trump Turnberry, A Luxury Collection Resort

This is now called the Trump Turnberry. This is a luxury destination resort hotel in the middle of…read morenowhere on the southwest coast of Scotland. The only reason I stay there is for the golf at the Ailsa course, an Open Championship venue. There are many resort hotel activities and a spa, so I suppose you could do that stuff but there is not much else except the Eisenhower Castle close by. The nearest town is Girvan which is tiny, but with a few good local places for fish and chips and Indian food. The restaurant has a good Scottish breakfast included with the room. The continental breakfast buffet is very good with lots of fresh and dried fruits. I get a load of smoked salmon with my usual Turnberry Grill, which consists of eggs, bacon, sausage, roasted tomato and black pudding. I suppose you could get Haggis. I've stayed there many times since the 1980's and the property has been extensively remodeled over the years. It's a lot more modern and fresh now. Service has always been excellent.

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!

(Me, my husband, my two toddlers & baby, and my mum) The resturant is nicely laid out, smart and welcoming but not too posh. Alastair the owner? manager? was brilliant. He Waited on us perfectly, had a laugh with my 1.5 year old who kept wanting to offer Alastair food as he went past. Not even a hint of disapproving of us turning up with 3 wee children in tow! They gave us a wonderful big jug of iced water, and a selection of nibbles, rolls and dip to be getting on with while we waited for our meal. The bread rolls were scrumptious! I bet they were homebaked, certainly not like something out of a supermarket packet. My mum had the steak and it was absolutely gorgeous so she tells me. It was a decent portion size, and was cooked to perfection just like she asked. My husband had a curry and again a decent portion for the money, he loved his meal too. Kids loved their sausage meal, proper sausages too not cheapy rubbish. Now im the fussy one and there wasnt anything on the menu to my taste, as im not a big meat or fish person. There was nothing like a baked potato on the menu(yes ok so you cant take me anywhere, all the posh nosh and i wanted a spud and cheese lol). However Alastair was most acoomodating and managed to get the kitchen people to rustle me up one, if only 'Jim'll fix it' listened to my wishes as well as the Steam Packet staff did lol! The potato didnt disappoint, it was yummy. We enjoyed our meal and left happy and with full tummies. We will definately be back (though perhaps hubby should leave me at home with a spud in the microwave next time for embarrasing them heehee!)
