Based on the experience of the four of us who ate dinner here on 18 May, this was a poor experience. The dining room is understaffed - so long gaps in service - but the obliging Magda could not have been more helpful when we explained the need for my diabetic father to eat promptly. But a kitchen that won't... More

Thank you for your review. I feel that we must come back on a couple of issues. Firstly our sincere apologies if you got the impression the Kitchen team would not prioritise your main course. Magda did tell you that the Duck would take 20/25 minutes, you choose not to have starters ( unusual if your father wanted to eat... More

I have eaten at this hotel three or four times, most recently on 8 May 2012. Lunch is served in the restaurant, or conservatory: both have a pleasant, relaxed atmosphere. The lady who was our waitress was polite and efficient. She welcomed us as soon as we arrived, and brought us menus and drinks straight away. The menu includes light... More

We've stayed a couple of times now, and it's definitely the sort of place to go back to. The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The food is very good, both in the restaurant and the Bistro, and sitting in the lounge with a pint of The Grace real ale is my idea of heaven!

I have stayed at this hotel for business on a number of occasions. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Rooms are clean and tidy although most of the rooms I have stayed in are definitely in need of modernisation. There are public lounge areas within the hotel which are very pleasant and the garden area is lovely to sit outside... More

A beacon of service, quality and real ales in an area not known for any of these things. It costs though and they are not generous with their discounts – why should they be if their formulae works. The monthly draw for only a £10 (from memory) discount on a meal was rather a laugh – but we are talking... More

A warm welcome, attentive staff, comfortable rooms, food to savour, menus for all tastes, a pleasant relaxing atmosphere plus all the delights of Kirkcudbright and South West Scotland. It really doesn't get better than this!

I drew the long straw - lovely room with view of garden. Group dinners delicious and efficiently organised. Staff kind, friendly and helpful, from top to bottom of the hierarchy. Look forward to my next visit.

As an extended family of 17 (all ages) we got together at the Selkirk Arms to celebrate my Dad's 88th birthday and it was the perfect venue. The Burns room gave us a private gathering room , Douglas McDavid and all his staff made us very welcome and the whole event was wonderful . The food was excellent and a... More

we really enjoyed our couple of nights in this friendly and 'old fashioned', in the best possible sense of the phrase, hotel.
