I had stayed here before, on business, about 2-3 months ago. Then it was decidedly average and not worthy of comment one way or another. However, this time I had the misfortune of being incarcerated or should that be incinerated (?)in Room 3. Rm 3 is directly above the kitchen and on a hot and sultry night (admittedly unusual in... more

Friendly hotel with nice dinning room, but still seems to function as a local pub in the evenings. Bedroms noisy facing on to main road, and need some work to justify prices. more

My wife & i stayed at this hotel in ROOM 22 from 20 TO 24 APRIL 2009 inclusive & were very disappointed with the cleanliness & room service for the following reasons:- 1) Shower head water outlet holes covered in black mould. 2) Door frame to shower cubicle especially at bottom covered in black mould. 3) Water very slow to... more

The Douglas Arms has undergone a number of modernisations and changes over recent years,... more

I would highly recommend this hotel, the staff were friendly helpful always smiling. Nothing was too much trouble for them. We chose to stay... more

This hotel was everything we needed when we recently toured Dumfries and Galloway. Warm, clean-certainly no evidence of the cobwebs mentioned in a previous review-and decent food. Certainly not pretentious, just good value for money. We had 3 nights dinner bed and breakfast for under £200. Staff were all friendly, always had a civil word for everyone, and helpful with... more
