Perfect location to downtown, only just above the footbridge. max. 2min. A very cordial and warm welcome. Everything was very clean and every detail matched. The house is furnished with high quality care and taste. The bathroom and toilet were not directly connected to the room, but very generously equipped with high quality and clean. I would stay there again... More

It's hard to find something that has not already been said, but EVERYTHING about our 2 night stay here was amazing. Right from the time we checked in, being welcomed by Beatrice who is a font of knowledge about the local area to the time we were leaving and Jim offered to run us over to the bus! It's the... More

We were made to feel at home very quickly and our room was lovely, very clean and well kept. Our room had a breath taking view of the river Nith. We were given directions as to where the... More

Absolutely loved this B&B. The hosts could not have been more welcoming. They let us watch the rugby world cup semi finals on their big screen TV. The B&B is located centrally to town and the riverside view from the bedrooms is fantastic! Throughly recommend this B&B!! More

The location is outstanding--right on the river, at the end of a pedestrian bridge. Easy walk to downtown yet you feel you're a bit outside of town. The hospitality is fantastic--some of the best I've experienced. Great rooms and friendly owners. This B&B is hightly recommended--If you're visiting Dumfries, you'll be happy you stayed there! More

Once again I had a most enjoyable stay where the hospitality, food and decor were of a very high standard. This time my husband accompanied me and was very impressed. Ideal location overlooking the River Nith and only a five minute walk to the town centre. Likewise it only takes 5 minutes in the car to be outside of Dumfries... More
