We stayed at Ferintosh guest house for 2 nights.

The guest house was very clean but did have a quite over powering smell over air freshner in the entrance hall - i think this is because the owners have 2 dogs & it is also dog friendly for guests.

It is opposite the train station & only a 5-10 minutes walk into the town centre, so convenient location

The food whilst we stayed was good & the tea/coffee in the rooms was well stocked (& the scottish cookies were fantastic!). The owners gave lots of helpful advice on the local areas castles, pubs & resturants.

We stayed in room 2 which was ensuite but some of the rooms were not, therefore we were woken a few times in the night by other guests using the bathroom which was next to our room

We were greeted by the kilt wearing chef and owner of the property on arrival and made to feel very welcome. Our room was the last double available and had a shared bathroom with the single room next door which was not a problem! I fully enjoyed the hot whiskey free in the room and a very good sleep in a comfortable and very clean bed! The breakfast was excellent and both the hosts chatted and gave us information we needed about finding someone in town! Would fully recommend staying here and would love to return soon myself!

“Search over...stay here!”

Emma and Robertson are the most gracious hosts you will have the pleasure of meeting on your trip to Scotland. My wife and I stayed two nights in their wonderful home on our three week honeymoon. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! The accomodations are first rate, the hosts wonderful, and the breakfast will carry you until dinner. Be sure to take advantage of the complimentary dram of whisky every day in your room...Robertson doesn't believe in cheap booze!

Ferintosh is an excellent base for day trips all over the south of Scotland. Caeverlock Castle, Threave Castle and Sweetheart Abbey are mere 30 minute drives. If staying in big cities is not for you then a day trip to Edinburgh is also a viable option from here (we won't stay in Edinburgh again).

Our next trip back will include a longer stay at Ferintosh...and, by the way, about that train station...we slept with the window open both nights...never heard a train, or a whistle, or an anouncement on the P.A. system...we slept wonderfully.

“A fine wee dram”

Just back from a weekend staying at the Ferintosh. An extremely comfortable guest house. The owners made me feel very welcome, the room was comfortable, and the breakfasts outstanding. The different 'wee dram' each night in my room was a great finishing touch. Just like a home from home, but with someone else doing the cooking and cleaning.
