Glencairn Villa is one of many Victorian-era houses that have been converted to modern B&B's, especially in this area of town. Parking is a bit dicey, as the homes were built before the age of cars, and the streets are somewhat narrow. Not as narrow as in the center of Dumfries, which was built in the 1500's though!
The rooms are small, but offer everything we needed. My mother and I stayed in Room 3, up a flight and a half of stairs. No lift (elevator), so if you have problems with stairs, be warned. But breakfast was always on time and just what we ordered, even to little things like added mushrooms in my omelette. Lawrence and Shirley are the owners, and Lawrence was very helpful giving us directions to the Family History Centre and Ewart Library, as well as suggestions for places in town to pick up a few sundry items we needed. He carried our luggage up the stairs for us, which was quite a help. The B&B is within walking distance of the rail station (maybe 3/4 of a mile), which was nice, since we didn't rent a car until we were leaving the town. The B&B might be a bit difficult to find in the rabbit warren of streets in the area, but I think most people would enjoy staying here.
Warning: though there is wi-fi here, it’s VERY intermittent. For short things you’re probably okay, but uploading or downloading of large files is probably not going to work. The occasional e-mail usually goes through, though.
