Top Moniaive Hotel Reviews

Friars Carse Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a very lovely stay. The room was brilliant— dulex double ! The view was stunning. We loved that it was out a bit but still close to Dumfries for a wee wander."

Imperial Hotel

8/10 Good

"My friend and I spent Wednesday night there, and received a VERY friendly welcome from a nice lady at the reception desk. Unfortunately, there are no lifts and the stairs are rather steep and spiral too, which as two elderly men with walking sticks we found quite hazardous with our luggage. When we got to our room, which was on the first floor, the light in the shower room and loo was broken, resulting in complete darkness with the door shut. I went back and spoke to the lady who had welcomed us and her surprise at the light not working seemed 100% genuine and she apologised profusely and said she would "get it fixed". Then she very quickly and efficiently got us moved to another room, also on the first floor, which was absolutely perfect. I would recommend this hotel for its cleanliness and friendliness but disabled people need to be aware of the stairs."

The Birchtree Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed just the one night. The staff were very friendly and eager to provide good service. We enjoyed a pleasant drink on the lovely patio overlooking the river followed by a tasty meal in the bar. Breakfast was excellent . Our room was fairly basic with quite a small ensuite . The WiFi was good. We were pleased with our stay which represented good value."

The Hopetoun Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We always have a great time at the Hopetoun. The rooms are spacious, cosy and clean, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The staff are very friendly and helpful, and the food is always amazing! We look forward to going back - highly recommended!"

Holiday Inn Dumfries by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Everything went very well except that on our second morning the hot items for breakfast still were not out at 6:40 am so we had to leave without it."

Aberdour Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Location is covent. Parking a plus."

Nithsdale Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great, comfortable and clean place, I loved how spacious it is."

Ernespie House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Individual styled place -what it lacks in modern finesse(if that’s your thing ) it makes up a hundred times in charm and location -add the fabulous staff -we loved it !"

Lochside House Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly and helpful staff and excellent food in restaurant. Nice Lochside location. Great location for visiting the nearby Dumfries House a short drive away."
