"This is a cracking flat within a short walk of Dumfries town centre. From the outside, the flats don’t look too inspiring, but it’s clearly been renovated recently and it’s been done really nicely. The two rooms are pretty much identical doubles, and the living room/kitchen is a good size. Nice views of the river from most rooms, and a lovely small balcony coming off the main living area. Would definitely come back if in the area."

Recent Reviews in Gelston

Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course

10/10 Excellent

"The period furnishings and decor in the lounges were very impressive. Some areas of the property are looking a little tired, but the Cally Palace have an abundance of excellent staff. They were all so friendly and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them - definitely 5* staff. We had a lovely large bedroom, with great views at the rear. We had four evening meals in the dining room which were really good and the Cullen skink was excellent. Cally Palace was a great base for our four day break in a really lovely part of the country. Thank you to everyone at the Cally Palace."

The Cross Keys Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel clean throughout, staff very friendly and helpful breakfast delicious"

Cottage with stunning views over Kirkcudbright Bay, a short walk from the beach.

10/10 Excellent

"Cosy cottage in spectacular location with stunning views. Ideal for visiting the various attractions that south west Scotland has to offer."

Holiday Inn Dumfries by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel, great peaceful location."

Ernespie House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice room, pleasant staff, only issue was that the shower took an age to get warm and when it did the pressure was literally zero, room 21"

The Huntingdon B&B

10/10 Excellent

"Great location - approx. 50m from the railway station and 400m from Loreburn Hall, the venue for the gig we went to. Quality breakfast. Lovely B&B - our bedroom had a proper-sized TV, the central lounge was bright and tastefully furnished, the breakfast room had great bay windows and quality furniture. Doonhamer hospitality. Adequate on-site parking."

Dumfries Villa

10/10 Excellent

"Colin and the Dumfries Villa was an absolutely delight! It was such an easy walk from the train station, incredibly convenient! Colin made us feel like we were family-the villa was quiet and peaceful, the room was perfect! As two traveling women, we felt incredibly safe and cared for. Colin also let us know about all the wonderful sites to see in town and gave us a map to be able to get around easily. The breakfast was a true/traditional Scottish breakfast, made to personal preferences, by Colin himself! I will definitely be staying here again if I ever happen to be in the Dumfries area in the future! Thanks so much, Colin!"

Aberdour Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was lovely but the sink in the en-suite was tiny & hard to get a wash or clean your teeth in without getting water everywhere. The front of the sink unit was already water damaged. The shower was good & easy to use. The lady who greeted us was very helpful & friendly especially as we forgot to take our key out with us & had to ask her to let us in to our room. Nothing seemed like too much trouble for her. There was a good choice for breakfast which was cooked to order"

The Kings Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good breakfast and the restaurant was really good"
