If you want to stay somewhere different then the Scotsman Inn is the place for you. The property is furnished with antique furniture, quality bed linen and toiletries. If you are lucky you get to share a glass of wine with the hosts who have a wealth of information that they are happy to share. This is a unique comfortable inn. Just remembered to pack light for your stay, there is no lifts and lots of stairs.

Sandy and Kathy were great hosts. A very warm welcome with a glass of wine on the porch with the owners and other guests. It was like staying at a friend’s house. The building is fantastic, with old world charm. and elegant furnishings. This place is a destination unto itself. I will definitely be back and spend more time

First, the accommodations were top notch, charming and very comfortable. Our Scottish host -Sandy- was welcoming, delightful, very helpful with trip planning and an all around interesting and entertaining fellow. The stay was worthwhile just to interact with him! The homemade breakfast, using NO PLASTIC was also fantastic! Will be back.

What a great experience!!! Hosts went out of their to make sure we were looked after. Rooms and dining room were so well furnished and decorated. A definite “old world” British feel. Rooms are not large but it added to the experience. Highly recommended.

This is a lovely place to stay. The property is very well cared for, clean, and charming. Our room was well appointed with beautiful linens, boutique body products, and the bed was so comfortable! The hosts are friendly and full of local knowledge which they are more than happy to share. I highly recommend this property!

10/10 Exceptional

Wonderful rooms, spotlessly clean and every little detail thought of even down to a black facecloth to use to remove makeup if necessary or any other ‘messy’ job to save the beautiful white towels etc. Ample parking. Breakfast was continental, warm croissants made by Cathy, served with flair by Sandy dressed in his kilt in a stunning dining room. A wonderful source of information too with suggested routes to get the best from your visit. Thanks for a wonderful stay and maybe bump into you both sometime in Dumfries and Galloway.
Verified review

6/10 Good

Well, where to start? This is a gorgeously restored historic inn, with lovely furniture and comfortable beds. The hosts are....well, characters. They do their business their way and don't apologize for it. Some would say this impinges on the guest perception of customer service. Our experience was mixed. For example, after a 6-hour drive, tired and needing a restroom, we arrived and approached the back of the building where someone yelled out the ground-level door, "We're not open yet!" and slammed the door quite hard. We were shocked. We took a walk and when we came back by another entrance to check in, the hosts brushed off our experience, neither apologizing or saying they'd look into it. Later we received dark looks for eating take-out on the patio. The rooms are small and could use more places to put your things (instead of too many ornaments). There was no closet at all in my room. And the showers are tiny, though the owner says that they meet code even if the clients don't....

We were so impressed with the quaint and eclectic look of the property. It was warm and charming in its decor. We were able to choose our room and decided on the third floor dormer that was comfortable and private.
