JulieUnited Kingdom · Jan 3, 2026 6Pleasant
Ok stay, clean which is important
Liked : Lots of parking and about a 25 minute walk into Dumfries
We have stayed here before and location works for usDisliked : The accommodation is very dated and needs some improvements
Curtains hanging off the rails and some threadbare carpets
Breakfast on first day was cold and unpleasant, luckily it got slightly better when there was a staff change!
There is no one on site to meet and greet you instead you have to ring a number and they guide you through getting the key from a key safe
Upgrades required else this is now an expensive option for the quality received -

MichaelCanada · Jun 17, 2025 6Pleasant
It was okay but not what I would have expected.
Liked : The check in on the weekend was bad. I could not call the number as I had no calling minutes just data. When I messaged them through the Booking.com site, nobody responded. I had to stop a stranger to use his phone to obtain the pass code. I wasn’t impressed.
Disliked : A long walk from the parking area to the front door.

Very good value. Clean and tidy. Wi-Fi a bit unreliable. Slightly out of town centre location.
Liked : Very good value. The room was clean and comfortable. Good portions at breakfast.
Disliked : Room was slightly on the small side. Wi-Fi was a bit unreliable, and kept dropping out - it may have been my room as I was at the back of the property with access from the garden. Location slightly out of the town centre but still within walking distance.
