If you are down Castle Douglas way, planning to stay over, then this place is perfect. Easy and friendly checkin, spotless room and a team that went out their way to make us feel welcome and valued. Easy to see why it gets top marks. We had dinner which was excellent and the tap beer was good to! Cooked Breakfast was first class. Best sausages I have had in ages. Will defo be back.

wont be back
I didn't realise the room wasn't en-suite. for £80 I think a single room with a bathroom 20m along the corridor is way over priced. No shower in the very dated bathroom, TV couldn't get BBC or Alba, room small and very dated. On the positive the service was good and breakfast was very good.

This is a very well managed hotel. It was busy when I stayed. I had a problem, beyond the control of the hotel, but the staff managed it perfectly. I would stay again.

Very pleasant stay
David and his team looked after us well, providing a nice comfortable room with good quality beds, a bathroom and towels. Downstairs is the local bar and dining area where a good selection of beers are served. The Kings Arms is located in the central part of Castle Douglas and includes secure parking. We had a nice stay.

Difficult to fault; as the saying goes, does exactly what it says on the tin. No pretensions, no luxury, just down-to-earth excellence. Efficient management, first-class staff who are attentive and most helpful. Kitchen staff willing to adapt to the foibles of guests. An all-round excellent performance. And easy parking to boot! Just two little quibbles. I can understand why folk don't like name badges but those in charge should introduce themselves; they may be well known to regulars but that is no help to complete strangers. And what a shame that in a well-produced menu the chef has not succeeded in mastering the art of crispy batter.

Lovely hotel in Castle Douglas
We loved this hotel. The staff and owners were all so lovely and helpful, giving us some bread so our daughter could feed the same at the nearby loch. The meals were great and the rooms comfortable. Wholly recommended.

Fantastic hotel!
Absolutely fantastic hotel with full restaurant and bar. Dog friendly with a private car park. Delicious food with quick and friendly service. Room always clean and comfortable with possibly the greatest shower I have ever used - hot and strong! So grateful for the fantastic stay, we had come up to allow me to take my driving test and their fabulous breakfast helped prepare me! I passed my test! Thank you again.

Embarrassing choice of hotel for my Thai friend
This room was booked to host a guest coming from Thailand. She, (the guest) has travelled from the far East expecting a warm, friendly greeting and family get-together in Scotland. She didn't expect to have a Christian religious service taking place in the guest's lounge on Sunday morning. Nor did I, when I had to try and explain that this is not normal in any hotel that I as a British person have ever experienced... She also didn't enjoy having a separate bathroom as I paid for a room with a bathroom inside the room. She and I certainly did not expect the bar to close abruptly at 10.30 pm on Friday and Saturday night and NO suggestion of a resident bar/lounge available after 10.30 pm. Furthermore, the person who ordered our party of six out of the bar was at best, unprofessional and at worst, quite rudely abrupt with ordering us to drink up and get out. I have no problem with the cleanliness of the place and the food was very good and I was happy to tip the waiters who gave us good service, but... I will never book this place again because I have no wish to embarrass any other friends from Thailand or anywhere else with such a bad choice of places to stay in Scotland.
