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"Cute place, amazing location, a bit outdated but the tub in the bathroom was awesome to have after walking.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"
