We stayed just the one night. The staff were very friendly and eager to provide good service. We enjoyed a pleasant drink on the lovely patio overlooking the river followed by a tasty meal in the bar. Breakfast was excellent . Our room was fairly basic with quite a small ensuite . The WiFi was good. We were pleased with our stay which represented good value.

Friendly staff but a bit slapdash at breakfast, rooms comfortable but south facing rooms need a portable aircon unit when warmer outside as the room was stiflingly hot despite window open and fan on. Excellent food which we could not fault for two nights dinner.

Hotel had recently been updated so everything was new and clean. We had breakfast included in our room rate and this was excellent every day from the Full Scottish breakfast to the omelettes and poached eggs on toast. The staff were also really friendly and helpful. Parking is also free across the road in the car park.

A very good hotel, with motorcycle parking right outside. The staff were very good, the rooms are very clean and in excellent condition. Breakfast was good, and cooked fresh to order. The hotel was better than expected and we would stop there again.

Had a 1 night stay with husband and daughter. Hotel is very central and had a nice friendly atmosphere. All the staff were exceptional and couldn’t do more for you. The restaurant is definitely worth a visit as food is outstanding. Bar area got quite roudy at one point with a stag do, so we’d shed our meal from the bar to the restaurant upstairs. Later the bar was fine and had a nice selection of drinks. The room was fine and was quite soundproof considering it’s on the main road. Breakfast was included in the price and was ok. Could possibly be more continental choices but hot food was nice and poached eggs cooked to perfection.

It was an ideal place for my husband and I, and our 2 dogs after being in the area for an Off roading event. The food was lovely and the staff super helpful, including offering to make numerous other event guests a takeaway breakfast as we were leaving early. Thank you to all the staff.

Nice hotel with excellent staff.

We chose this hotel as it was relatively close to Southerness Golf Club where our son was playing a competition. The family room we stayed in was recently updated and very clean. All interactions with the staff were excellent and they went out of their way to help us when we came back from the golf on Saturday soaked! The Birchtree is dog friendly and our little pooch was treated like a king! Thanks to all the guys at the hotel and we will be back next time there is a golf tournament at Southerness GC.
