The highlight of this visit for me was the Carsluith Smokehouse Kipper served for breakfast, cooked to perfection, it was full of flavour. A large room was our base for the night, comfortable and large double bed was all that was required. The plumbing showed signs of it's age. The bar is noted for it's considerable collection of malt whiskys... More

I've only eaten here once (not stayed) but as far as pub-hotel food goes, it was good. The menu had some good locally sourced choices. I don't often find a menu which makes me smile so well done to whoever wrote it.

Whilst visiting Newton Stewart I went out one Friday evening for dinner to the Galloway Arms Hotel with members of my family. There was a roaring log fire and a shabby chic sort of ambiance to the place. The lady who served us was polite, efficient and friendly. The menu was very large, varied and reasonably interesting, but my gut... More

We were 5 friends on a budget golfing trip in Dumfries, perfect location, friendly family run hotel, good food and service. Print this because of another bad review, the hotel is not 5 star, but you get more than you pay for.

My family and I stay at this hotel regularly and find all the staff very friendly (except grumpy Gordon! - only joking) The food is superb (all locally sourced) with the choice of eating in the Bar, Lounge or Dining Room. Don't expect a modern concrete box with shiny new decor but what you will get is a pleasant casual... More

This is the second year that I have stayed at a B&B up the road (Stables Guesthouse) and both times I have eaten each evening at the Galloway Arms. The staff are great, especially Craig, and the food was delicious, and cooked just the way I like it. Special mention goes to the ribeye steak, which I would recommend to... More

I don't reall need to say too much other than to strongly second previous comments about the thirty year old decor and facilities. Cleanliness was superficial. How the Tourist Board thinks this 'hotel' is worth three stars is beyond me. Spend £400k on a refit and then maybe it will be deserved.

It must be the late 60s or early 70s when this level of bedroom decor/facilities was acceptable for the price paid! A long dingy corridor led to room 16 which had 2 metal bedframes, one of which creaked every time I moved on the mattress. The bedroom furniture looked home-made, the ceiling tiles were polystyrene, there was no smoke alarm,... More

this place bears no resemblance to the photos listed. It is foreboding, dirty and run down. my colleage and i joked when we first saw it that how typical it'd be if our company booked us into that dump! sure enough! they boast of how run down the place was when they took it over and imply that it is...
