Nice hotel, walking distance to the blacksmiths and all the gift shops. The room was a little dated but very spacious and clean. I loved the little fireplace heater. The staff was excellent and I enjoyed the breakfast. The only issue I had was the lack of outlets near the bed to charge your phone. I attended a wedding at Gretna and the reception was held here, I really enjoyed the dinner!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel staff were friendly and check in was nice and easy. The room was clean, comfortable and great for the kids with having the bunks. My only issue was a terrible nights sleep due to being located just above what I think was the air conditioning so we had the constant sound of fans and drips all night. Could have complained but the kids were fast asleep and didn’t want to uproot them.

Fantastic Hotel

I have stayed here a few time now, rooms are fab, heating in the room was perfect as I hate a hotel room which doesn’t have great heating. Hot chocolate, tea, coffee and biscuits and a bottle of water provided. I would highly recommend this hotels to my friends and family. Staff were lovely too.

Poorest ever reception,given a room that the coffee machine did not work,waited for repair for half hour,still not fixed so after a 3 hour drive to the hotel we went away for an hour to visit a well known place to see ,came back to find someone else in our room! Went reception to sort it out,were given another room that had been renovated because the original room required renovation really,after another hour or so we were offered a free pudding or starter,i thought that was a poor offer so i asked to speak to the managerr who rang the new room could be bothered to see me in person,he had no customer skills and had the audacity to offr us as teetotaller a bottle of fizz,he said if you dont drink i could give it to a friend! I mean you couldnt make this up he went on to offet a nextra couple of teabags and buscuits,i asked him to offer a main meal for w which i think was fair and reasonable in the circumstances,prior to his chat the duty manager offered the starter etc,i told the gm to forget his offer i thought he was hopeless,im sure he said he was an owner of the hotel but i found out later that a family actually owned,thereswas a lack of customer contact,couldnt wait to leave,after paying for the stay a month previously et etc etcroom

Stayed here for 1 night in a family room. The room was very big, plenty of space. Double bed was huge but it was actually 2 singles joined together which was great. There were bunk beds located in the room for kids. Only idsue was for some reason we could not get any sound from the tv in the kids area which was annoying as they had to watch the other tv in our bed. We went elsewhere for dinner but breakfast was amazing, great choice of food and kept being repelnsihed. If your stayimg in Gretna I would definitely consider this hotel, its a few £ more than others in the area but in my opinion its worth it

Great hotel, mo bedside plugs

Another fantastic visit, only feedback being that they're are no plug sockets or charging points beside the bed so could not charge phones at bedside or use CPAP.
