The new owners have just taken over and they were brilliant. Friendly and helpful and accommodating with food intolerances. The bar is a real old fashioned local pub with a lovely log fire. Our room was warm, clean and spacious and the bar food was fantastic!

We feel they are going to continue to make great progress in the improvements for the hotel and we look forward to coming back to see the progress.

Really friendly staff and locals , great food with out any frills. Breakfast was good and well cooked. The couple running it were very welcoming and evening meal with a few drinks really good value. It's under new management which I guessed , the room was a bit "tired" but spotless. Apparantly they're going to refurb the rooms anyway.

Bed was a bit uncomfortable and there was only instant coffee at breakfast - neither are show stoppers and I'd stop there anytime to break my journey north.

Felt like I stepped back in time staying in a historic home. The room was clean and had everything needed for a day or a week stay. The staff went above and beyond. The pub and food was excellent. Thanks Again! See you all in the Spring! Aloha!

Everything was wonderful. Under new management so disregard previous negative reviews. They are renovating and improving. Honestly, it was an amazing experience. Highly recommend.

The proprietor has recently taken over the hotel & is renovating the property, but the hotel was perfect for our stay. The hotel was quiet, clean & very friendly, courteous staff. The bed was very comfortable, the room was very quiet & a comfortable temperature with more than adequate supplies for tea & coffee. A lovely “ Scottish “ breakfast was very welcome in the morning, along with a really good supply of lovely coffee. We will certainly be visiting this hotel again on our return visits.

The proprietor is in the midst of renovation, hence not every thing had been turned around yet. The room could do with a refresh, but this I’m sure will be addressed soon.

Great value for money, an older hotel but very comfortable. iI was more than happy with my room and bathroom. Location was within driving distance to a number of towns in area. Great breakfast with a cosy brreakfast room. A great bar and home cooked meals for dinner, , have been away from home for 51 days and can honestly say I had the best meal of my trip ..Home made meat balls and pasta. The host Amanda was fantastic with a great fun personality, a real pleasure to talk to. I would stay there again on next visit if in the area. If you expect 5 star this isn't for you but if you do you will get 5 star service and laughs.

Nothing to mention

Wow, such a superb location. Comfy beds, immaculately clean rooms. Previous reviews do not reflect the new management and they are and have been striving to improve things which is evident. Menu for food is not extensive and its continental breakfast with eggs which we found sufficient. Staff were absolutely brilliant, warm.and friendly I would deffo go again...our dog loved it too.

Leaving!

the large room was a surprise and very nicely presented. Staff were warm and welcoming. Ellie's crumble for dessert was excellent!

the large bed was two put together -- but we still slept for 11 hours! the hallway was a little dark and we couldn't turn the heater on, so we were a bit cold when we went to bed.

Staff were fantastic, very welcoming and hospitable, room was clean and tidy, food was good too, nice friendly bar area and dog friendly

Room was a little basic, but what was expected for the price and the pictures

Great value for money, very welcoming and helpful staff, the room was very comfortable and we were even given cute dog beds for the doggies! And Kirkmichael is an adorable little village in the heart of nature.

The breakfast room was a little bit rudimentary, but the breakfast was good.

Slightly apprehensive about staying there given some of previous reviews but we were very pleasantly surprised. The hotel is under new management and it is clear the new team are getting a good grip and bringing the hotel and the service up to a very good standard.
