Top Gelston Hotel Reviews

The Huntingdon B&B

10/10 Excellent

"We felt right at home from the moment we met Freda outside her lovely B&B. Our room was clean and cool, bathroom was very nice as well. Big TV and coffee & Tea on our table. The house itself is very charming and historic. The next day we were greeted by a hearty and delicious homemade breakfast by Freda, we even got to meet Gypsy! Her sweet doggie. We loved our short time in Dumfries, I hope we make our way back there again. We will definitely be staying at the Huntigdon once more"

Glenlossie Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyable three night break. Friendly helpful staff. Very comfortable bed , room cleaned every day and were allowed to park at the hotel next door. As previously mentioned they serve a great breakfast . Five minute drive to town centre but pub and takeaway nearby. Will book again next time that we visit Dumfries."

Ernespie House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely old hotel with lots of character, extremely peaceful & with beautiful views. Staff great, friendly & knowledgeable. Tasty & plentiful breakfast cooked to order. Nice evening meal on the Friday night. Booked a double room but we were upgraded to a gorgeous suite without our knowledge which was a fantastic surprise! Lovely Easter break & would definitely stay again."

Premier Inn Dumfries

6/10 Okay

"This hotel provides a basic room. We did not get food here. (Breakfast cost extra) The room had a very strong mothball smell so we opened the window and left a floor fan running all night. Bedside areas need outlets to plug in phones so these rooms need updating. The sink did not have hot water. For the price this room was not worth it."
