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

We visit twice a year as we love the area but equally look forward to our visits to the Selkirk Arms. Great food and beer, a lovely homely atmosphere and friendly, welcoming staff who would do...

We stayed here under a 3 night break special offer. We have a small dog and found only 4 establishments in the Kirkcudbright area that would allow dogs, so we were pleased that the Selkirk arms Hotel was one of them. We telephoned and asked for a quiet room and Joanne was very helpful and patient with us as we... More

Thank you for your honest feedback. I'm delighted you enjoyed our food, service and indeed the town of Kirkcudbright. I do know that Joanna did try her hardest to give you the quietest room ( Room 2 ) in the cottage and I am sorry that you were disappointed with this room. We are slowly working our way round the...

I spent the weekend at The Selkirk Arms in October, as part of a weekend photography course with Philip Dunn. The price was all in for the photography and full board at the hotel, so I can't comment on price paid for the room or meals, but the package was good value all round. The hotel was easy to find,...

Loads of choice for breakfast - my favourite was French Toast with bacon and maple syrup but family had full breakfast which was also great. Had beef and onion baguette at lunchtime which was probably the best I have ever had and I am fussy so... More
