Poor quality food. The Murray Arms requires updating and some investment. The decor is as it was when my in-laws were growing up in Gatehouse in the 50s, the menu is also stuck in this time vortex. Our family room was clean and basic. Unfortunately the Wi-Fi and the TV did not work. I have a feeling this is a common problem but no one is willing to spend the money to fix it. We had our evening meal in the 'refurbished' dining area with its damp ceiling and musty smell. The quality of food was poor and overpriced. The staff were very helpful. ##### Suzi Stayed 1 night in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda, Edinburgh 15 Mar 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Lovely clean and tidy rooms easy to find location good staff every helpful breakfast was good great choice of different foods ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Deborah 11 Mar 2020 ##### Deborah Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Nov 2019 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elaine 6 Oct 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Elaine Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 19 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 11 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Aug 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 1 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Didn’t like no drinking water in the room, but love this hotel as my Granny used to run it in the 50/60ies so it’s like going to granny’s house for me . ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### PHILIP 22 Sept 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### PHILIP Stayed 1 night in Sep 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### craig 27 Aug 2018 Great spacious family rooms.
