douglas mcd. has made this hotel a very pleasant place for a stay while in Galloway

Staying in the area for business, but looking forward to visiting in the Spring for a long leisurely weekend.
Staff very friendly and helpful, quite important as a woman travelling alone.
Ate in the Bistro which had a great atmosphere, certainly get the feeling that this is the place to be in town, judging by the number of locals who were in.
Food very nicely presented, large portions and staff knowledgeable about the dishes. The blue cheese ice cream is to die for! Think they should make this availabe as a takeaway option.
My room was very nice (No 20 overlooking the garden) and advised that they are doing up all of the rooms in the next few months.
Excellent value for money.

My mother wanted to visit Kirkudbright as it is Scotland's 'Artist Town' to look around the galleries. She was really surprised at how nice the town is, Broughton House (where the artist Hornel lived and worked) is just lovely. And, its just round the corner from the Selkirk Arms which is a total 'gem'. The food is excellent, the rooms are comfortable, homely and art adorns the walls throughout. We had a perfect holiday in the perfect Hotel. The food here must have always been nice as it is apparently the place where Robert Burns wrote the famous verse known as the 'Selkirk Grace'

Definitely not the Best Western in fact below average ,the room was absolutely freezing ,rang reception to be told heating does not come on until 4.30pm (came on at 5pm) was told there was an overide switch (there was not) wallpaper peeling off in bathroom same in bedroom was charged £90 per night for our twin room .We were very disappointed well beow standard expected for this price.
