点评:I received a warm welcome into this clean and comfortable hotel which is in a beautiful part of Dumfries and Galloway. Yes, it is old fashioned, and it could possibly be classed as ‘quaint’ but what is wrong with that? I and six friends were part of the team running a motorsport event in nearby Forrest Estate, and that involved early starts and late finishes.
The weekend which we chose was one selected by our host to be a ‘bed and breakfast only’ weekend with the restaurant and the bar closed throughout the day except for breakfast. The breakfasts were delightfully cooked to order, and for those who had to be out even earlier than breakfast time our host volunteered to provide a packed brunch with fruit, cereal bars and a bottle of water. It was left out the night before and could be collected when leaving for the day’s activities. Many places, if they did provide a packed breakfast, would not have been so generous with the contents.
I couldn’t get the TV in my room to work and because I had to be away well before the hotel opened for the day I simply emailed reception during the night and when I got back in the TV was on and working!
The only drawback for me and my LandRover friends was the lack of a large car park although there is a small private car park at the rear of the hotel. On-street parking is available but there is competition to get a place if you arrive late. There is a public car park but it is not as close as I would like.
The ‘ Bed and Breakfast Only’ situation which existed while we were there suited us very well and as a bonus it allowed us to eat in a variety of local establishments.
The hotel is dog friendly and there are two hotel dogs who ensure that they get the attention that they think that they deserve!

我们选择的周末是我们的主人选择的“仅限住宿加早餐”的周末,餐厅和酒吧全天关闭,早餐除外。早餐是现点现做的,对于那些必须在早餐时间之前出门的人,我们的主人自愿提供外带早午餐,包括水果、麦片棒和一瓶水。它是前一天晚上放在外面的,可以在出发去参加当天的活动时收集。很多地方如果真的提供外带早餐,内容就不会这么慷慨了。
我无法让房间里的电视正常工作,因为我必须在酒店开业之前离开,所以我只是在晚上给接待处发了电子邮件,当我回到房间时,电视已经打开并可以工作了!
对我和我的路虎朋友来说,唯一的缺点是缺乏大型停车场,尽管酒店后面有一个小型私人停车场。提供路边停车位,但如果您迟到,就会出现停车位竞争。有一个公共停车场,但不是我想要的那么近。
我们在那里时存在的“仅限住宿加早餐”的情况非常适合我们,而且作为奖励,它允许我们在当地的各种场所用餐。
酒店允许携带宠物狗入住,酒店有两只狗,确保它们得到应有的关注!
