“A superb stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2012

We recently visited this guest house for 1 night on our way up to the north of Scotland. Kirkcroft was easy to find and is very close to the railway station. I did wonder if we'd be disturbed by trains all night, but I didn't hear a thing during our stay. We were shown to our room by one of the owners, which was quite large with a very nice en-suite bathroom. We had a flat screen TV with freeview, tea and coffee facilities (with biscuits!), a hair-dryer and probably a few other things. There was also shampoo and shower gel which was a plus as I'd forgotten to pack any.

The owners (I forget their names) were really helpful and told us about the area and what there was to do nearby. We were only passing through but we still had a few hours to fill. They even offered to let us eat a take away in the dining room if we didn't fancy eating out. We decided to take a drive out and returned fairly late, so having a key to let ourselves back in was a big plus.

The bed was very comfortable and we both got a good night's sleep. Breakfast the next morning was truly excellent. I can never resist a full English (or in this case Scottish!) breakfast and I think this one was the best I've had in a long time. There was also cereal, juices and pastries, and I'm ashamed to say I made a pig of myself! Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and we were asked several times if we wanted any more coffee etc.

I stay in Hotels for work all the time and I was slightly reluctant to book a gust house as I imagined it to be akin to staying at a stern aunts house. Kirkcroft was more like a very small hotel. I felt far better looked after than any hotel, and the breakfast was far better!

We'll probably make a similar trip next year, and I've already bookmarked their website so I don't forget the name!

We visited Kirkcroft for a over night stay at the begining of December, as we had a wedding to attend.
Firstly the location of the hotel was the first right off the moterway for us so very easy to find. It is also idealy loacated facing the railway station if you require.
We chose this hotel as it was a stone throw away from the Church were the wedding was benig held. We could actually see if from the hallway window, so perfect location for us.
We were greeted and made very welcome by Robert, who then showed us which key was for what door, then kindly showed us to our room.
We stayed in number 4 which wsa perfect. Just the right size. big double bed, tv and free veiw, tea and coffie making facilitys, hair dryer.
There is also a small wall heater which we made use of as it was cold in Dec time, heating came on at night i think.
we had en suit which shower was lovely, they provide shower gel, conditoner, shampoo. and there was also little sewing kits provided which provided very useful.
The bed was extremly comfy which i was surpried about.
We were able to come and go as we pleased.
There were information boards outside are room, and also books available in the draw which came in very useful.
Robert also tried to help us and give us as muc direction he could.
Never met Elaine till breakfast next day but she was very pleasant and makes a beautiful breakfast. There is a wide variety, cerials and juices and fruits available to help your self, and then a choice of either a fry up or something on toast which ever you prefer they dont mind making for you.
We also asked for extras like extra toast and extra tea as there were 4 of us and they were happy to provide us with this.
overall a perfect little over night stay in gretna for us, extremly pleasurable experience and will definatly be visiting again, only for a few nights longer this time as it was extremely good value for money.
To top this off it started snowing while we was there which we were excited about as we didnt think we would see snow at all this year.
Definetly recommend.

My wife and i stayed at Kirkcroft Guest House for our first wedding anniversary on Sept 20th 2011 having got married last year at gretna..On arrival we were made to feel very welcome by Robert and Elaine...Our room was very clean and spacious with a lovely bathroom and shower.
We could come and go as we pleased and Robert was more than helpful telling us about places of interest and how to get there..Superb hearty breakfast was served up each day with a good choice on the menu...We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definately stay at Kirkcroft again
