The Art Bank is the perfect place to stay in Dalbeattie. It’s unique with its colourful rooms and selection of art. The breakfasts are incredible and Mandy/Ange make you feel welcome. Doggy friendly too. We look forward to our next visit.

Lovely All Round, but you do need to like dogs

Super little place, excellent individually decorated room (the Van Gogh Room), super breakfast - you won't need much lunch if you have the full Scottish with clootie dumpling! The owner has three dogs, but they are well-behaved so it's only a problem if you really can't stand dogs.

Loved our huge Van Gogh decorated bedroom and great en-suite. Lovely and light with huge window. Breakfast, great range of choices. You couldn't leave hungry. Downside was that we were unable to use the TV because of the Sky set-up. Only catered for two users at any one time. However, we weren't there to watch TV. Hosts, Mandy and Dan were very accommodating and welcoming, as were their three dogs. Would definitely recommend.
