    The weather! We had one rainy day in three but plan to go back when it improves.

    Good breakfast with great service, evening bar menu very good and not expensive. The location is fantastic for walking, with forest routes anywhere from 1 to 10 miles. The beds are large and very comfortable, with big airy rooms. Above all the staff are great.

    Very nice but a bit secluded. No 'civilisation' within reasonable wlaking distance !

    Set in lovely grounds. Staff very friendly and helpful. Both the evening meal and breakfast were most enjoyable. The extras I had were reasonably priced.

    Wi-Fi was completely useless so marked down for that but there was a 4G signal.

    Stayed as part of our NC500 tour. Nicely decorated hotel set in a Scotland Forestry country park with miles of trails to walk and bike. Good reception. All members of staff friendly towards us and our dog. Unable to eat with the dog in the restaurant as expected but they set up a lovely table in the pleasant lounge. Quiet area but not too far from Dumfries and convenient for the journey south (or North toward Glasgow and Loch Lomond). Room comfortable. Decent electric shower. Would be the choice to stay again if in the area.

    Not really a problem Lots of stairs to our room as we wanted one with a walk in shower , we were told before hand about it, which was fine for us and good of them to e mail and tell us . Might be difficult for less mobile people

    Perfect place to stay for exploring this area. Loved the building, lots of character . Large room(15) with a very comfy bed The staff were very friendly at all times Good breakfast, we ate in the restaurant both nights, exceptional food both times highly recommend eating and staying there Bonus was the resident parrot who said hello everytime you passed him! Definitely stay here again

    Difficult because of layout of building, but if pushed would say lack of "cosey" individual seating areas for singles/couples partaking of pre dinner drinks or after dinner coffee/drinks or even a leisurely cup of their excellent coffee.

    I liked the ambience of the hotel, it was friendly without being obsequious. The food, that I had was very good including the excellent breakfast. If I am ever in the area again I will certainly choose this hotel (as long as it remains as it is).

    Water in the shower could have been a bit hotter. There was no shampoo in the bathroom which was unfortunate as I had forgotten mine....not major issues at all and didn't spoil our visit
