A beautiful setting, as befits the lovely building and sweeping lawns is one's first impression. Second impression: one cannot fail to be impressed by such friendly, hospitable and outstanding service. The staff are charming, gracious and more helpful and friendly than they need be, echoing the warm, cosy wood panelled, baronial interiors, which are grand but never imposing. We stayed... More

The management and staff here were exceptional. The food excellent. The surroundings of the hotel are parkland planted with many lovely big trees, outstanding scenically. Seeing us arrive in rain, one of the staff came out to shelter us under a brolly and help with luggage. The lounge and dining room were very nice. The surrounding countryside is spectacularly beautiful.... More

My wife and I have come to know and like this hotel. We were attracted by their advert which offered a star gazing weekend to coincide with our wedding anniversary. Irresistible! The hotel was as comfortable as ever with the usual high quality cooking. The star gazing was provided by Steve Owens, a freelance science communicator and astronomer, who took... More

We stayed here while visiting the Wigtown Book Festival and it was an ideal choice. The bedroom was huge and very well furnished. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming and the staff couldn't have done more to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Food was excellent both at breakfast and dinner. And the icing on the cake is that they are... More

The breakfasts were good but evening dinner was even better, good food deliciously cooked. Very comfortable twin beds, good room with a great view. There was a small decanter of sherry and three pieces of fruit awaiting our arrival,... More

My husband and I live locally, so didn't unfortunately stay at Kirroughtree House, just had Sunday lunch today. The hotel itself and its surroundings are beautiful - just waiting in the lounge in comfy armchairs and huge sofas with family portraits on the walls and wood panelling all around is a pleasure. The staff are all very attentive under manager... More

We stayed here for 3 nights after visiting Edinburgh. It is maintained and run to a very high standard on classic hotel lines, quite a rarity today. Our room was a tad dated but was spotlessly clean, comfortable and well maintained. All staff were extremely helpful and suggested several places to visit in the area which has some superb scenery...
