"Lovely spacious place, very clean, nice staff, well priced, lovely room.
My only gripe would be no curtain in the bathroom window, which looks into houses, but overall we liked it."

"Decent sized double room with better than usual lighting! Really comfortable bed and good shower, albeit on the small side! Off road free parking is always a bonus and they do a full breakfast if required! Everyone very friendly!!"

"Stayed during owners transition, that's why the kitchen served only breakfast and it was amazing! The same helpful staff. Short business stay, I visit a lot of hotels and I do appreciate smaller ones. Room had a nice design, comfortable bed and modern bathroom, all very clean and well kept."

It was immaculate and in an ideal location for me. The room was lovely and spacious with an extremely comfortable bed and pillows. The staff were friendly and approachable and the car is secure, Nothing to fault.

The hotel was clean, the service was fantastic. Very good value for money and the food is great.for the money it's a great place to stay. This is the second time I have stayed there and I wouldn't hesitate booking again.the hotel is situated only a few minutes walk from the Gretna gateway shopping village.there is also plenty to do and see if you don't like shopping.
