The property is very clean and modern throughout, love the Neon signs. Clean outside. Great rooms very big, fantastic bath in room for a romantic stay or a up lifting solo night. Room was clean, decorated to a high standard even if there was some noticeable improvements to some painted walls in the corridors up the stairs, it did not effect how we felt about the property, we loved how each room is named after historic places in and around Dalbeattie. Great big TV, when windows were shut up couldn’t hear a thing but we loved having ours open to hear the river and the quietness off the street. Great WiFi, staff were amazing, helpful and friendly. Breakfast was included and my gosh it was incredible. Extremely dog friendly which is a plus, I would 100% recommend to anyone and we would stay again!

Dalbeattie is smaller than nearby Castle Douglas or Newton Stewart
Its is a very pleasant town with reasonable facilities but it is a great location to base yourself and explore the whole of the Solway Coast and the old Stewartry. Eating out options are limited especially if you are looking for dog friendly

Dalbeattie town did not really feature in our visit at all other than the provision of sandwiches and juice for picnic lunches.
We are keen on walking and exploring the countryside, forest walks, Caerlaverock nature reserve, Threave Gardens etc.

Lovely friendly scottish town.
Lovely friendly scottish town. With plenty of eating out options and take aways. Town wood walk and coniston park great for a stroll. For the more active we did the forest walk with fantastic views (would be suitable for pushchair)to Kippford (5.5miles) a lovely seaside village, recommended the Mariner pub for a refreshing drink and or lunch overlooking the sea. The Sun Inn/ Chinese restaurant was a good value evening with great playlist and fantastic food. Birchtree great relaxing bar with very good food.

A lovely little town very welcoming, we ate at the Chinese restaurant called the Sea Horse on the first night and were made to feel part of the family both the owners took the time to have a short chat with us during our stay. We started the second day with a trip to Rockcliffe which has some fantastic views and also an area that you can go for a dip in the water. There is also a nice trail walk between rockcliffe and Kippford, I would recommend suitable footwear though as terrain is a bit rough in places. Back in Dalbeattie we had a stroll around the village it has a nice village green with a duck pond well maintained. There are tennis courts within the grounds for those a bit more athletic. We had a couple of drinks in the local bars again staff were very welcoming. We finished the day back at our hotel The Birchtree Hotel where we had a light snack for dinner again food was great
The first floor apartment was roomy and beautifully decorated with a seaside theme matching the fantastic views from it's living room and bedroom windows. The patio and garden areas to the rear were great for sitting out. There were easy waterside walks to the front along a quiet access road and behind direct access to a woodland walk to Rockcliffe. Two hotels with bars and outdoor seating were just yards away. A bus stop to Dalbeattie was just outside although we used our car (parked to the front) and bikes (parked in the back garden!)
If you like wildlife, this is a very nice place. If you like history, this is a fascinating place. If you like both, then you should stop reading here and book the room at once. We stayed at Buittle Castle for only two days but we had a great time and would love to come again. Very obliging owners and staff. My wife has a preference for vegan products and they were able to accommodate our breakfast choices at short notice. The area has a very unique charm with its castle, ruins and Galloway "Belties" frolicking on the fields nearby.
Rural location, but within a couple of minutes drive to Dalbeattie. Clean, quiet, small but perfectly formed, everything we needed to be self-sufficient for a couple of nights. including a small fridge. Thoughtful extras such as cotton wool, tissues, cleanser, moisturiser, magazine. Welcome pack of food for breakfast - yoghurt, cereal, juice, bread, milk, fresh fruit and shortbread. Close to the lovely Solway Coast at Kippford. There was also a garden area to sit out in the sunshine with a glass of wine.
Lovely welcome from a delightful lady who worked tirelessly all evening and at breakfast to meet our needs. Good hot food for supper served promptly but not very happy with the only rather dark space in the bar available in which to eat it. There is a lovely dining room why is it no longer used for residents at the very least?Very good breakfast served by two lovely helpful ladies. Beautiful grounds but some real eye sores need sorting eg. dump opposite verandah seating area which used to be beautiful.
The location was a few miles out of Dalbeattie, close enough to be reasonably convenient but far enough away to be peaceful and give a feeling of remoteness.
The rooms were very clean and comfortable, offering excellent value.
The host was welcoming, friendly and very accommodating.
Evening meals were also available, offering a nice selection at reasonable prices.
All this added up to make the stay a very enjotable one. I'll definitely be looking to stay again next time I'm in the area.
So quiet.... natural alarm clock with the farm Rooster!
Great views across the Solway near the access road and views across the Galloway hills.
Close to Kippford for exceptional food at The Anchor Hotel.
I was extremely fortunate with the weather with temperatures into the high 20's, the cottage remained nice and cool inside.
Really comfortable bed with the room having an en suite with a great shower.
Modern caravan, good and useful kitchen equipment. Spacious living area, dining area and main bedroom with lots of storage, for a couple of nights we didn’t really need it but good for a longer stay. Lovely decking area to sit out in the sun with a lovely view.
Michael made it very easy for us to check in/out, information sheet provided with comments on places to eat/takeaways very useful.
A very well-appointed lodge in a great location. Clean, comfortable and perfect for family or friend group. We had great fun with the giant TV. Ideal for dogs. Great walking nearby.(Kippford Reserve dog friendly) Kippford and its 2 dog friendly pubs are only a ten minute walk. Easy jump in car to Dalbeattie for groceries and Castle Douglas a lovely place to potter.
The area was lovely.
The hotel was brilliantly situated for both the beach and nearby towns.
The menu in the hotel was varied and good value for money.
The Full Scottish Breakfast was absolutely divine and the chef a delight to meet each morning.
Having pooch accepted in the bar made our stay even more enjoyable.
Amazing boutique style B &B in the centre of Dalbeattie!
I stayed in the lovely Picasso room, eclectic decor in fab colours with a very comfy bed. Enjoyed the very substantial 'full Scottish' vegan breakfast served in a beautiful dining room.
Mandy and family and their two rescue dogs were really lovely hosts.
Hotel is full of character and staff are super friendly and couldn't be more helpful. We only stopped one night on our motorbikes on the way to Oban but will be definitely back. Yes the place is a little tired but look past that and it's a great value place to stop. The home cooked breakfast is 2nd to none.
The location was next to the hotel which served nice food but you still had privacy. It was surrounded by woods which made it a lovely place to sit outside. The garden was quite wild but nice and full of birds. The location was good as a base for visiting the surrounding areas especially for walks.
A wonderful location, next to an old granite quarry, just outside of Dalbeattie, tastefully decorated with fabulous views from our room. Garden area was very private. Pat was very kind and even offered us fresh farm eggs on our way out.
The room was excellent with a really comfortable bed and good facilities. Cleanliness is is a high standard.
The breakfast is excellent and staff are pleasant and helpful. Overall this hotel gives excellent value for money.
Perfect base for exploring the delights of Dumfries n Galloway , very pleased with the hotel, spotlessly clean , very friendly staff , cracking bar , excellent breakfast, highly recommend 👌
No breakfast available or food of any description. Mind you with The Birchtree Hotel next door (fully booked) which is my go to hotel, I simply walked there and had all my meals there.
