Top Thomas Carlyle's Birthplace Hotel Reviews

The Gables Hotel

8/10 Good

"A nice clean comfortable hotel. The only deal breaker for me, which I did not realise at the time of booking, is that they do not serve breakfast. If this were to change in the future I would happily use the hotel again."

Holiday Inn Dumfries by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, serene environment and friendly/professional staff. Really enjoyed the dinner in the restaurant, served by great staff and delicious food. So far my best stay in Scotland."

Days Inn by Wyndham Gretna Green M74

8/10 Good

"Good parking. Friendly and helpful staff. Clean rooms. Breakfast was ok"

The Hazeldene Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Found this hidden gem with a last minute booking but was no problem for the staff. Very warm welcome and good, clean room. Excellent value for money and great selection of drinks and food, including a hearty full Scottish breakfast."

The Mill Forge

8/10 Good

"The staff and room were incredible we loved every bit of our stay the food was incredible no complaints from me i will definitely come back xx"

Cumbria Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel and very good breakfast. The breakfast staff were very helpful and friendly. Would stay again."

Powfoot Hotel

8/10 Good

"Cute place, amazing location, a bit outdated but the tub in the bathroom was awesome to have after walking. Restaurant was ok, the staff seemed overwhelmed most of the time. Food was good. The bathroom light is on a motion sensor and kept turning on by itself all night so you had to keep the door shut, but the light still made noise when it would click on and off, super annoying for a light sleeper. It is directly on the Solway Firth which was so cool. It was also adjacent to a golf course and the early tee times were a nuisance because they are loud, again not great for light sleepers. Good for one or two nights."

Hetland Hall Hotel

8/10 Good

"Clean room."

The Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel. As described Only issue we had was our breakfast order was forgotten and were told the cook was too busy smoking"
