I've been to Scotland before, but this was my first time to the Dumfries area. We book Ferintosh, and it really made the trip all the more enjoyable. The house is a quaint brick building run by a charming couple that goes out of their way to make you feel at home. Every morning, we were served a proper Scottish breakfast (made by a man in a kilt!) and every night, we'd come back to a clean and tidy room with a complimentary sample of Scotch whisky. Slightly eccentric, each room featured a different Scottish theme, and the house has a detailed history of its own.

And easy walk downtown, and right across the street from the train station, Ferintosh is the perfect place to stay while you visit the Dumfries area.

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!

Very impressed with the location! Dog friendly,breakfast was great(try the haggis) the room was exceptionally well cleaned and the owners were extremely friendly and gave us alot of helpful information....When we go back to scotland we are surely going back to Ferintosh!!!!
PS: the wee drams at night helps you sleep at night thanks for the scotch!!
