I stayed here on a weekend photography course and was very happy with all aspects of the hotel. Staff were all very helpful and welcoming, especially the owner, Douglas. My room was very comfortable with lovely modern bathroom. Food was very good at breakfast and dinner and plentiful - if anything, perhaps too plentiful. The hotel is clearly very popular... More

I stayed one night in the Selkirk Arms (18 March) while visiting a friend for her birthday. I booked it based on the reviews on Trip Advisor. It lived up to the positive reviews. It's a lovely hotel with a beautiful garden. Our room was modern and clean and the receptionist was very welcoming and helpful when we arrived. Dinner... More

Paid £98 for one night, a little steep for the small room and freezing bathroom. However, there's a good Bistro bar and Restaurant (breakfast was excellent). Would have been happier if two things hadn't happened. Came back mid-afternoon and no receptionist - stood for ages, eventually went into the bar where we found her serving pints! Secondly, when she did... More

We got a warm welcome from the charming staff and were shown to our nice clean, warm room. Try for Room 3 its the same price as the others but is a cosy suite with a small sitting room as you go in on your right, a separate bathroom and nice old fashioned bedroom. The lounge Bar serves excellent food... More

We stayed one night in the Selkirk Arms and wished we could have stayed longer. It was cold and wet outside but the hotel was warm and welcoming. We were shown to our room which was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent with a wide choice. Hope we will return before too long. More

I found this hotel, which i stayed in last week, a nice base to explore Kirkcudbright, a gorgeous little town situated on the Solway coast line. As it was just after Christmas, I took a chance and didn't book.. I was lucky as they had a number of people staying. As I was travelling solo I asked what they had,... More
