Our stay was short, the staff were very cheery and friendly on arrival. Made us feel welcome. we went to the outlets which was about 3-5 minutes from the hotel. We stayed there for dinner, couldn't fault the service or the meal, I had a sirlion steak and my wife had balmoral chicken. both were very nice. Breakfast next day had a choice of cereals and porridge, fruit and various fruit juices and a full scottish breakfast. service was great. The girl behind the bar was very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. If i am in the area again, I will go back to the Solway Lodge.
