Short stay for a Halloween party at Mabie Farm. I didn’t get out to see any sites after that as my waterproof Vessie’s failed miserably. Wet feet, soaked socks plus no other shoes to get out and about in. My own fault. The hotel staff have been amazing ( let me into dining room in slippers)except for the wake-up call a day early to vacate my room😂. I can’t give a review on property except it looks amazing in pictures I have seen. Farther out than I expected from city centre. I wanted to see the shops but I unfortunately couldn’t get out.
It is sad to have come this far and not get the Dumfries experience. Hotel is not to blame but I don’t see me coming back.
Fantastic property! Interesting history of The Crichton, beautiful botanical garden on the grounds, as well as an interesting cathedral. The breakfasts were top-notch, the garden view room was well appointed and taken care of. Thank you.
The setting was quiet unique based on the university grounds. We stayed during the summer holidays, it may be quiet different during term time. The grounds are lovely.
Convenient location for Dumfries and as a one night stop over for onward travel to Edinburgh.
Staff very friendly and helpful and easy car parking.
Room was basic but had everything we needed for one night.
If you want breakfast get a voucher from reception first (rather than going straight to restaurant) as you’ll get a price reduction.
Stopped here for one night on the way up north and will definitely be back!

We booked an accessible room but unlike our previous stay there this had no walk in shower.
Repeated fire alarms on the Monday evening didn’t improve.
On Monday evening my partner unfortunately fell and I was unable to help her up so I pressed the assistance button . Reception phoned but was only interested in telling me how to switch it off and didn’t ask what the problem was, then said she would send a colleague. The colleague then arrived and proceeded to show me how to switch it off and was about to leave when I pointed out my partner on the floor. “Oh , I will get a colleague “. Then a man ,who I assume was the duty manager “ arrived and we were able to get her up.
The lift was then out of order for two days so I don’t need to elaborate on the problem of being disabled on the first floor.
I must at this point praise staff who helped me get her down the stairs but would suggest you get a different contractor to maintain your lift.
So all this did nothing to enhance our visit, the reason for which was the funeral of my partners 99 year old father
A clean, comfortable hotel 1 1/2 miles from Dumfries town centre set in beautiful grounds. Very attractive and peaceful. Rooms clean and comfortable, with air conditioning, excellent shower. A fridge would have been nice. Restaurant food in the evening OK although breakfast was excellent with a wide choice of both hot and cold items. Good coffee. Friendly, obliging staff both front of house and in the restaurant.
The front desk woman was enormously helpful getting our cab situation sorted out and with recommendations for our short stay. The restaurant really exceeded expectations. Every person we encountered gave amazing service and made us feel so special and cared for. Thank you!
We’ve stayed here before and the experience has been the same every time! Lovely welcome, helpful staff and fantastic views over the grounds!
Great buffet breakfast too!
