Short stay in Castle Douglas

Had read good reviews of this hotel, so decided to book and it was great. Was only here 1 night, but would definitely stay again. Bedroom & bathroom clean and comfortable and a nice comfy bed too. Dinner was great as was breakfast next morning. Staff all friendly, welcoming and helpful. Easy parking either in dedicated patron’s car park or on street. Great location for exploring the area and Castle Douglas itself is a nice town with lots of independent businesses and plenty cafes, delis etc, Took a trip to nearby Kirkcudbright in the evening…only 15 minutes away and heading to Threave Gardens…only 5 minutes drive or could even walk it. All in, a few pleasant days in the area.

Very pleasant stay

David and his team looked after us well, providing a nice comfortable room with good quality beds, a bathroom and towels. Downstairs is the local bar and dining area where a good selection of beers are served. The Kings Arms is located in the central part of Castle Douglas and includes secure parking. We had a nice stay.

The location in Dumfries and Galloway allowed me to access locations associated with The Wicker Man film so managed a few in a very short time. The staff were very friendly and very helpful and breakfast for veggies was excellent. My Westie Max enjoyed his stay and the fuss he received. A well situated historic property in Castle Douglas.
