Hiking, biking, fishing, shooting and cycling can all be enjoyed in the local area. A golf club can also be found within a 15-minute walk of the hotel, and Edinburgh city centre can be reached in less than an hour by car. From the moment we got there, we were made to feel very welcome. Very positive energy and environment. Lovely place to stop even for just a night. Had some lovely conversations with the owners, was lovely to get to know their story a little as well:)

Located in Dumfries, 7.1 km from Dumfries and Galloway Golf Club, Mabie House Hotel provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. This 3-star hotel features free WiFi and a bar. The property is non-smoking and is set 8.6 km from Dumfries and County Golf Club. This review is for ‘room 1, bridal suite, red room’. The room is bigger then my apartment. I thought I was a lady in an episode of Brighton. The bed was huge, the must need at least 2 people to make the bed. The manor house is set in beautiful forest on top of hill with beautiful views. An golden eagle landed in front of my car while I was driving up to the house. They are definitely underselling this and the photos don’t do it justice. You enter into your own hallway, to the left is the enormous red bedroom with period features and furniture. Down the hall to the right your sitting room. In the middle right the main entrance is the bathroom. The toilet has the best view 😂. Staff is super nice and helpful. Beef stew at diner was delicious, set next to a local neighbor that eats there every Friday night. I especially loved the music the young staff had on, it felt cosy.

Lochaline Hotel in Lochaline has 3-star accommodation with a terrace.

All guest rooms in the hotel are equipped with a flat-screen TV. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and a hairdryer, rooms at Lochaline Hotel also feature free WiFi, while selected rooms also feature a sea view. This small family-run inn was one of our favourite places to stay during our two-week trip in Scotland. The house is situated on a beautiful peninsula with a lovely view and a “getting away from it all” feel. The interior has been lovingly renovated with creative touches using natural materials — e.g., our room had a woven jute toilet-paper holder and a spalted-birch beam across the ceiling — and guests have ample common space in the well stocked breakfast room and lounge. The hands-on owners were very warm and hospitable and the breakfast was superb.
