Believe what you read, the excellent reviews on here all speak the truth. Now I am a clean, house proud person - but this place is immaculate! We stayed for one night here on our way down from Scotland back to Yorkshire - its not far from the M74 just passed Gretna. The place is beautiful, we stayed in the... More

Having read all previous reviews I found it hard to believe it could be that good. It was. This is a very clean establishment with excellent facilities in a part of the world that is often overlooked by tourists heading further north. Over a Bank Holiday weekend we tootled for miles on scenic roads without seeing other cars. And if... More

B & B's just don't get any more charming than this. Someone paid a great deal of attention to this lovely place. From English proper folks who own and run this B & B, to the lovely spacious grounds, and kids play ground yards, to a spacious honesty wet bar, to charming rooms where details were not spared. A dinning... More

We booked one night for a short break and visit to Hermitage Castle. I phoned to ask if we could have dinner and told that we could and it would be lamb. I was pleased that the owner had a sense of humour which he shares with guests when he asked if I wanted dinner for my wife as well!... More
