The food was excellent and the atmosphere was pleasant however our dinner was spoiled by the attitude of the young male greeter/waiter who asked for proof of face mask exemption. Working in hospitality, he should be aware that there is no official requirement to provide personal medical information to strangers as proof of inability to wear a mask. He handled the situation badly and was rude and dismissive. The rest of the staff were excellent.

Positives first. Well located and very friendly and helpful staff. Secure parking, pleasant bar and restaurant where I enjoyed a really tasty evening meal. My room (number 7) was very clean with TV, hairdryer and modern en suite. However, I did feel that there was too much furniture in the room as it's not very big. The large dressing table in front of the window meant I couldn't reach the curtains to close them and only just managed to open the window. Breakfast was a bit disappointing after the lovely meal the night before.

Stunning hotel in the heart of Castle Douglas. We stayed in Room 6, which was absolutely stunning. So clean and just perfect all round. We had the best sleep on such a comfy bed. Lovely spacious room with bathroom. All looked newly refurbished. We also ate an evening meal which was beautiful and I highly recommend the full breakfast. Staff were all so friendly and the whole experience was just lovely.
