If you want to feel pampered in a relaxed but attentive atmosphere ... Cavens is the place for you! I recently visited with my partner for the first time and was delighted with the surroundings and staff. The hotel has lovely, well appointed bedrooms and tastefully furnished public rooms.

Our group took over the whole hotel, and we were treated in true Downton Abbey owner style. Service was excellent - attentive, but not over so. Food simple but very high quality. Rooms very spacious and comfortable.

We have visited Cavens regularly for the past few years, and will continue to return, as it is a consistently good experience, and a really relaxing break in luxurious surroundings. The hotel is very small, and has a really nice, personal feel. The owners and staff are always professional and friendly. We have often asked for extras such as a... More

Go to Cavens in Dumfries next to Barbours ten times better staff, atmosphere, and most of... More

This is a wonderful hotel. Lovely bedroom, exceptionally welcoming lounges and really really good food of the highest quality cooked to perfection. This is the best review I have ever given. And it deserves every word.

A delightful spot to visit Dumfriesshire. Elegant interior and an excellent kitchen. Great service. A wonderful quite place to rest. Sadly we stayed only for a day and couldn’t appreciate the local fishing. The owners of the manor are very hospitable and caring. I have forgotten my coat in the hotel and after notifying the owner the coat was sent... More
