This hotel was in beautiful surroundings and is sympathetically furnished and decorated in it's period style. The hotel room was lovely,clean and spacious with a comfy four poster bed. However what made our stay here so lovely were the manager and staff, every single one of whom were welcoming and attentive; particularly our waitress Katie.
The only slight disappointment was the bathroom, which was partitioned off in one corner of the room, tiny and with a very dull light so that you could barely see in there. On the whole though this didn't detract from the hotel too much and I would say that it is well worth a visit.

We stayed for three nights midweek. The hotel was wonderfully quiet and we received a free room upgrade. The food and wine were fabulous. The staff were magnificent. A great place to get some peace and quiet. We would definitely go back.

Lovely looking hotel, beautiful views and friendly staff. However, there were a number of problems. You can read my experience below but I would say that if you were to stay here it is worth phoning ahead and double checking your booking even if you've recieved a confirmation letter. Also don't stay in a single room they are sub-standard and obviously don't get the attention that the other rooms do. We arrived on saturday morning and were able to check in a bit earlier which was really great. My friend had booked a room, paid a deposit and had a confirmation letter but they had lost the booking. The staff were helpful and pleasant though and managed to sort it out although they did ask if he'd mind paying the extra because the room was a better one than he'd booked but he explained that it was their mistake so he wasn't going to which they agreed. I was staying in a small single room and it was pretty obvious that they didn't use it very often and it had not been checked or cleaned recently. The decor was chinzy and a little worn (a bit of the wallpaper was stuck back on with sellotape). The net curtains were dirty and stuck to the window with a giant cobweb, the kettle didn't work and the plug socket was making a disturbing buzzing sound. There were cobwebs in the corners of the room, on the light fittings and round the windows, an old peach stone underneath the dressing table and the water was so slow draining in the shower that you could only jump in for 5 minutes otherwise it would overflow. Also the remote for the small TV didn't work. I wasn't very happy but thought that the majority of these problems could be sorted out easily and I could live with the rest so I just mentioned it at reception and they said they'd sort it out which was fine with me. Except when I got back to my room I found that although the cobwebs had gone none of the other problems had been sorted and instead I'd been left a small bottle of wine and an apology note. The below standard room didn't seem to fit with the helpful, friendly attitude of the staff. The rest of the hotel seemed clean and well-looked after and the breakfast was lovely. A bit of an odd situation and in the end I was disappointed. If I ever stayed in Lockerbie again this would not be my first choice.

As part of a training scheme, we had to go to Lockerbie Manor for 3 days. After reading some of the reviews on here i was slightly reserved about the idea. Taking into account im in my early 20's.
However when i arrived, the service, was like no other. I was offered coffee before i even had chance to sit down. I got my room, which in fairness is alittle dated and not matching. BUT the room had everything you wish to expect from a top class hotel. Such as, whirlpool baths, Iron, Hair dryer, alarm clock and most rooms have 4 poster beds. ( I was staying with a group of 8) Lunch time arrived and it was unreal the variations available, which was well above standard.
we reached Dinner time, and the menu again surprised me, there was various amounts for all different kinds of people and cultures. I have to say that these were the best two evening meals of my life.
I will state for all the people that said this was a boring place, i suggest that the company that you attended with was maybe the boring part. Life is what you make of it. A hotel is not meant to change you life, its there to offer a a good service, a bed and food. which this rightly does to a standard above fantastic.
If you want; incredible service, food, scenery and the best hotel you will ever stay in. Then this is the hotel for you!
