Recent Reviews in Castle Douglas

Western House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We always stay here on our trips to Ayr. The staff are so helpful and the rooms are huge and so clean. The bar area is very comfortable. It’s just always a lovely relaxing stay here."

Carlton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was friendly and helpful. THey gave us a room where we could store luggage while we played golf. Dinner was one of the best on our trip"

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

8/10 Good

"The entrance way to the hotel was stunning, the road was a fair distance with woodland on both sides and arriving at the hotel frontage gave a very regal impression of days gone by. At the reception, we were welcomed by two staff members one of whom booked us in with our reservation and the other showed us to our room and talked us through the hotel and showed us the facilities (pool, gym… etc..) the room was more than average size with more than a king-size bed, en-suite, four chairs, two bureau areas, a long unit with tea, coffee etc a wall mounted tv, a balcony that over looked the golf course, on the down side no room fridge which for a hotel of such standing is a poor show. The hotel bar is well-stocked with plenty of areas to relax, and it also has a full-size snooker table for your enjoyment. The breakfast had everything you could want to help start your day. All the staff were always happy to assist in any way needed. The hotel overall is good however it is looking a bit tired in its decoration, the carpets have seen better days. A hotel of this standing and its past history are clearly missing a trick of not using multiple Scottish tartans for different areas of carpets around the hotel and naming each room/area with the tartan used that name and giving visitors even more history into the wonders of Scotland, but overall we had a most enjoyable stay at the Cally Palace"

The Ship Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Second stay at the Ship Inn, room is perfect, breakfast excellent. Food is terrific although the restaurant was almost full (apparently it usually is…) and this perhaps reflected in the service last night. Example, we were finished our starters and had to chase our drinks. But granted restaurant was very busy. Would certainly use again if opportunity arises."

Adamton Country House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely place, bed was a bit hard but that's a personal choice, breakfast amazing."

The Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I thought the Kings Arms was an excellent country pub for an overnight stay. Staff very friendly and helpful and I enjoyed the restaurant and bar as well."

Fairfield House - Ayr

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel and stay . Room drinks food and staff service all excellant . A great stay once again"
