It was an ideal place for my husband and I, and our 2 dogs after being in the area for an Off roading event. The food was lovely and the staff super helpful, including offering to make numerous other event guests a takeaway breakfast as we were leaving early. Thank you to all the staff.

Dinner on Friday night was very good except that the staff had all gone from the restaurant by the time we had finished our main course so we didn't get a dessert, Despie being advertised as breakfast from 8am till 11am one of our party failed to get breakfast at 9.45 as there was no staff in the dining room.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Refurbishment going on which made everything look drab and tatty. My room was very cramped - just about ok for one person but would have been awful for two. Noisy because of the pub downstairs (and it being a weekend when Scotland were playing in the Euros) - not an issue for me but light sleepers might struggle.

Nice place

This is a fairly decent independent hotel within a small town. We were there for a wedding that started at 2. As check in was at 3, we inquired about an early check in to allow us to get ready for the wedding. It wasn’t until we were paying that we were informed that there was a £10 charge for the early check in. Now in these circumstances we needed to get into the room early so would have agreed to pay the extra charge had we been aware of it in advance, but in other circumstances I’d rather spend the extra tenner in the hotel bar. So I think it’s a bit sneaky not to tell us about the charge in advance. Apart from that, no issues with the hotel.

There is a river running behind the hotel which is nice. Room was good but with no AC can be noisy outside if you keep your window open. Breakfast that was included was great. Free parking across the street.

comfortable

I was surprised that there was no car park, but the street parking was okay. My spacious room on the front was a bit too warm overnight (we are having unusally warm weather) so I had the window open.On Saturday night, people outside were noisy until 1.05am, but there was little noise from within the building. The staff were friendly and helpful. At breakfast the omelette was huge.

Nice hotel with excellent staff.

We chose this hotel as it was relatively close to Southerness Golf Club where our son was playing a competition. The family room we stayed in was recently updated and very clean. All interactions with the staff were excellent and they went out of their way to help us when we came back from the golf on Saturday soaked! The Birchtree is dog friendly and our little pooch was treated like a king! Thanks to all the guys at the hotel and we will be back next time there is a golf tournament at Southerness GC.
