wont be back
I didn't realise the room wasn't en-suite. for £80 I think a single room with a bathroom 20m along the corridor is way over priced. No shower in the very dated bathroom, TV couldn't get BBC or Alba, room small and very dated. On the positive the service was good and breakfast was very good.

Very pleasant stay
David and his team looked after us well, providing a nice comfortable room with good quality beds, a bathroom and towels. Downstairs is the local bar and dining area where a good selection of beers are served. The Kings Arms is located in the central part of Castle Douglas and includes secure parking. We had a nice stay.

Difficult to fault; as the saying goes, does exactly what it says on the tin. No pretensions, no luxury, just down-to-earth excellence. Efficient management, first-class staff who are attentive and most helpful. Kitchen staff willing to adapt to the foibles of guests. An all-round excellent performance. And easy parking to boot! Just two little quibbles. I can understand why folk don't like name badges but those in charge should introduce themselves; they may be well known to regulars but that is no help to complete strangers. And what a shame that in a well-produced menu the chef has not succeeded in mastering the art of crispy batter.
