    Only that the shower water pressure was a little bit lacking.

    Brilliant beer garden and friendly pub with great pub grub. The hearty breakfasts were very good. Room was airy and reasonably spacious. Very comfy bed.

    TV remote didn’t work so the TV wouldn’t work. They stopped serving food at 1800 on a Sunday so couldn’t get dinner there.

    Good location, friendly staff.

    Perfect location! Right at the heart of Kirkcudbright and an easy walk to the river and to the rest of the town. The room was very spacious for a single. It was decorated to a high quality and immaculately clean. Breakfast, from the Full Scottish to the porridge was very generous and delicious. All of the staff I met were friendly and welcoming. The skies in that part of the world are amazing. My room was at the front and I had stunning evening sky views towards the sunset.

    Breakfast choice was a bit limited, but then it is low season. Still tasted fab. Would have been nice to have the bed made every day (and the shortbread topped up! ) but that's being picky. Shower door was a bit sticky to open

    Great location, in a lovely central street. Room spacious, heating worked well, so cold weather not an issue. The big light in our room stopped working, but they offered us another room. Breakfast was excellent, bar and restaurant also really good. Staff were friendly. Basically, this is a pub with rooms, but it's very comfortable. Other reviews have complained about noise from the bar when they have live music, but we just shut the fire door and it was fine.

    We mainly chose the hotel for the bar and restaurant facility. We had travelled 300 miles to be told due to an emergency drain problem, these facilities were not available (although problem appeared to be sorted by the time we arrived). No alternative arrangements within the hotel were offered, only a suggestion to use another hotel further down the road, which, having checked out, did not suit our requirements. We then spent the next hour and a half wandering around the town trying to find somewhere to sit down and eat, which proved a non-starter as all were closed. The only options available were takeaway. All very disappointing.

    Location. Good breakfast. Well appointed and comfortable room.

    It was pretty chilly in the rooms and the heating wasn't on. The bar can be a bit noisy if you are close to it eg Room 1, but tolerbale and it didn't go on too late.

    Breakfast was fine, served by a very friendly, cheerful lady.

    I missed the fact that there was no lounge. It was a pub with rooms - I thought it would be more of a hotel.

    It was very clean and the staff were very pleasant. Street parking was easy.

    Our room was on the top floor and because of the unusually warm weather for the time of year was warm which made sleeping uncomfortable. This is in no way a criticism of the hotel, it was as said unusual weather for September.

    Location was central. Staff were very friendly. Facilities were good. Food was very good. The bar was well stocked and had a cosy feel about it.
