A gem of a country hotel. The siting of the hotel right on the shore of Balcary Bay with a view of…read moreHestan Island means that it is well worth paying the premium for a bay view room. Friendly, helpful and attentive service, but not overbearing. The food is top notch in terms of imagination, preparation and presentation. Most of the guests are older folks, so it is very quiet. Having said that, for those looking for a romantic getaway in south west Scotland, look no further, this is THE place for you. If the weather cooperates, there is great hiking on the sea cliffs nearby.

Lovely wee hotel just off the main street in Castle Douglas. I have been for a few bar lunches and…read moresome evening meals, and have never been disappointed. They also have a self contained flat to rent for families if they prefer that instead of being in the hotel. They cater for golfers too as their are several golf courses near by.

The setting is great for kids, there are extensive grounds and a tenis court, games room and for once the computer games were abandoned and my children discovered the world around them and had a ball. I would highly recommend Redcastle

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.

We have never stayed at the Anchor, only had grub there when we are in town. This time I had…read morehaddock and chips and hubby had pie and chips. The chips are just from a bag in the freezer and are pretty disappointing, they'd rock homemade chips with real spuds. I loved their haddock, fresh and flaky, quite large and very tasty. Hubby's pie was also delicious, packed full of tender meat and gravy with a puff pastry hat (I prefer a pastry base and sides too) Take your order and the number on your table up to the bar to order. Reasonably priced and great atmosphere.

Although just off the A75 outside of town, this Travelodge is set back far enough from the road…read morethat the traffic noise doesn't disturb too much. 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!
