I travelled down to Kirkcudbright for a wedding at the nearby Knockbrex Castle, and when searching for accommodation within the area, the Borgue Hotel always came to the top of the list, with great reviews from fellow TripAdvisor members. Now that I have experienced a stay here, I can see why this is the case, and everyone falls in love with this place.
I received such a warm and pleasant welcome from the owners, Shirley and Vince(and their dog, Viking), who were so accommodating throughout my stay - nothing was too much trouble for them, and they could always recommend things to see and do in the surrounding area that suited your tastes
The room was fantastic - comfortable and spacious, with an en suite bathroom that was spotless. The following morning, I had the full Scottish breakfast which was very well cooked and presented - and good portions too. Car parking at the rear of the hotel is free for guests - easy to access, and plenty of room
The best thing about the Borgue for me though was the value for money if you are attending a wedding/function at Knockbrex Castle - Shirley and Vince will arrange to drive you to and from the venue at no extra charge to your bill, which just shows again how willing the owners are to go that extra mile (no pun intended) to make your stay memorable
Overall, it was a wonderful experience at the Borgue - so tranquil, so peacefful, so pleasant, and just a gem of a hotel. You will not be disappointed!!!
