The hotel is in a quiet location, set within lovely grounds and within a short distance of Castle Douglas town centre. We had two rooms, and both were very disappointing. The room we occupied had damp bedding, the mattress was in need of replacement, and it did not feel clean. Overall the decor and furniture in both rooms was looking... More

Extremely shabby room tucked at the back/basement of hotel behind two fire doors down two corridors and two flights of steps, difficult to negotiate with luggage. Mattress so old worn and uncomfortable that two blankets were required to cover the springs poking up. Wallpaper peeling . No welcoming instruction book, no telephone or alarm clock, no milk at the tea... More

Room and bathroom were both spacious, bed very comfortable and clean. Food was excellent, home cooked and delicious, both dinner and breakfast (and a varied choice). Staff very friendly and helpful. Location quiet but within easy reach of any amenities you might need. Yes it is a little tired in the decoration stakes but we understand that the new owner... More

We found this hotel to be extremely old fashioned but more importantly dirty and unkempt. Our bathroom was dirty and the shower head a joke. My sister in law stayed in the room next to us and she looked at her mattress, it was bably stained and marked, absolutely disgusting and turned our stomachs. We didn't have the nerve to... More

Having experienced room 17 at the Urr Valley this has to be the worst room and hotel we have ever stayed in in 50 years of world wide travalling . The whole place was dirty. (the net curtain outside our room in the corridor hung like a hammock and was full of dead flies and other insects ) The whole... More

We stayed overnight at The Urr Valley hotel and were a bit dubious after having read some of the reviews. O.K it's not The Ritz, but it was comfortable and quite charming in its own way. Yes it could do with a bit of a touch up in places but we had a very enjoyable stay. The staff couldn't have... More
