We had a recent self catering stay in Castle Douglas and ate at the Douglas Arms hotel twice during our stay with our children aged 7 and 9. The food was fresh, home cooked, good portions of standard pub fare- steak or chicken pies, roasts, breaded fish and chips etc. with the usual offering for children but also an option... more

My wife & I decided to go to The Douglas Arms for a meal whilst on holiday in Castle Douglas, in June 2008. We ordered a drink and a starter which was fine. We both ordered home made macaroni as a main course. What we were served up looked and tasted exactly like Heinz tinned macaroni. We ate the chips... more

Sadly the Douglas Arms Hotel has fallen from its former granduer as Castle Douglas's foremost quality hotel, dining and bar facility to being no more than an "any port in a storm" compromise venue if there were nowhere else for the traveller or visitor to go. The Douglas Arms has undergone a number of modernisations and changes over recent years,... more

We stayed here for a week whilst touring Kirkcudbrightahire. The last time I had been to Scotland had been many years ago, when I stayed in Dundee. So this was for me like a first visit. 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

If a relaxing weekend, at a nice hotel, with friendly service is what you are looking for, this is definitely not the hotel for you. The staff and the owners know nothing of looking after their guests or dealing with issues that may arise. In fact the last thing they seem to care about is the customer. Myself and my... more

Stayed here overnight last month and found a pretty typical 2 star inn. The staff were all friendly and helpful enough - if you asked. No info given at check in and nothing said at check out! The room was clean enough but the bathroom was in need of a good scrub! We didn't eat here but had a drink... more
