The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to see we had everything we required, especially Nicole and her tall blonde colleague( apologies for not remembering her name}. The hotel and room were exceptionally clean and tidy. The room was more like a suite with an exceptional view of the Solway Firth. The food was delicious and well presented with plenty choice for meat & fish eaters.

The bed mattress sagged on one side as a result I didn’t sleep very well. The hot water for the shower took ages to circulate through the pipes. I was disappointed that there was limited choice on the dinner menu for a vegetarian. Had we been staying a few nights I would have struggled to find different meals to choose.

This is the second time we have stayed and it was just as lovely as the first time. The staff are all so friendly and welcoming, the bar area is warm and cosy. The bedroom is big and airy and the bathroom has a really powerful shower. Lovely that the bedroom radiator can be turned right down and great that the window can be opened. The food at dinner and breakfast is simply delicious and for a little treat, indulge in some of their custard creams, just divine.

The coffee maker in the bedroom is fiddly when you just want hot water for tea. Could do with some spare pillows and an extra blanket for the bed.

This hotel provides a very homely atmosphere although it is very well appointed. It is in a very good location with great views over the Solway Firth. This is the third time we have visited. The previous time we stayed in a deluxe room with views over the Solway. This time we stayed in a mountain view standard room. We enjoyed it too as it was a very good size with a great view of the golf course. The food for breakfast and dinner was excellent. The hotel seems to be the centre of the local community and has a lovely cosy feel. It is easy to access from the motorway.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

Lovely location and view across the golf course to the mountain beyond. Massive bed, complementary toiletries in the bathroom and a couple of bottles of mineral water. Teas, coffee, biscui etc replenished daily. Great choices for breakfast. Fantastic staff who really made us feel welcome and were always on hand to answer questions about local attractions etc.

Dinner menu in the restaurant was very meat and fish orientated. Only two vegetarian mains - potato gnocchi or a beetroot and feta burger - although, when I mentioned it was a bit limited the manager said the kitchen could do a potato curry or something if I wanted, so very accomodating. It'd be nice to be able to choose off the regular menu like everyone else rather though rather than have to make a special request for a meat free alternative.

This hotel is of a very high standard. Room was beautifully decorated and we had a separate seating area with beautiful views overlooking the beach. Powfoot has an exceptionally long sandy beach. If you are a golfer the hotel is next to the golf course. The village is pretty with a small stream running through it. Very quiet area but also very handy for the motorway - just about 20 minutes away. Breakfast was really great - no buffet - so everything freshly made. Dinner at night was very good - some of the best desserts I have ever had! Scenery in the surrounding area is lovely.

We had problems with the shower i.e. getting hot water - I have mentioned this in a separate review to the hotel - but we would definitely stay again. I would not recommend Dumfries city centre as so many shops were boarded up but we did enjoy the Gracefield Arts Centre in Dumfries which had an excellent display of local artists but also a display of artists who have two cultures which was extremely interesting.

The location of the hotel was excellent, however being allocated a room in the rear courtyard meant that I had no view from the room which was a big disappointment, also as a solo female traveller the location of the room makes you feel a little vulnerable. On a positive note I always struggle in hotels with bed comfort but I have to say the bed was absolutely super. Staff were very attentive.

Room position, lack of view and vulnerability for a solo female traveller. Having returned to the hotel late in my second night after attending a function I was shocked to find the hotel locked with all lights off. I spent over 10 minutes trying to get access to the hotel and to get the key to my room which I was specifically asked to leave at reception when I left the hotel. Quite a worrying situation to be in.

Lovely hotel in an *amazing* location overlooking the Solway. The Powfoot Hotel is charming and remote and overlooks both stunning tidelands (and Cumbria in the distance) and a lovely golf course. It makes a great base for exploring this under-visited piece of Scotland. Dinner in the restaurant was fantastic, and the staff were very helpful. The lounge and balcony on the 1st floor (2nd floor US) was deliciously peaceful and offered stunning views.

The room was overwarm and, while a small fan was found for us, it was unable to cope. There was no furniture for the balcony, so all we could do was walk out and stand on it. We couldn't adjust the automatic lights in the bathroom (regardless of switch position), so the fact that there was a light that would have been perfect for middle-of-the-night bathroom visits was unfortunately of no use. The bed was large, but could have been more comfortable.

We were able to check in early which, after a 5am start, was very welcome indeed! The food was absolutely stunning. You only had to look at the menu to see that the chef knew what they were doing! Nice view of the sea and the balcony was nice too, though it was a bit too wet and windy out to really make any use of it. A minor discrepancy with the bill which we only noticed after departure was sorted quickly and efficiently, which was really decent.

The howling wind kept us awake but obviously the hotel can't be held responsible for that. I thought it was quite expensive compared with other hotels of a similar standard but for the personal touch of the staff and their accommodating manner I was happy to pay.

The location by the coast would be wonderful had the weather been better but they had no control over that! So on a wet, windy Sunday afternoon we were happy to sit in the lounge near the fire with our books and a cuppa. The staff were helpful, friendly and there was a good atmosphere in the hotel. Breakfasts are freshly cooked and delicious with a great choice. The food in the restaurant in the evening was definitely superior to what you might expect in a small rural hotel. If we lived locally, we’d be back on a regular basis! Service was very good too. We flew over to Scotland for a family wedding and this hotel was comfortable, convenient for the event, and exceeded our expectations.

A bit difficult to control the heating, so sometimes the room was too hot, but in December that was preferable to being cold. They just had coffee machines in the room but were quick to offer this tea drinker a kettle.

It’s in a stunning location, and it’s lovely and quiet. The staff are fantastic. Every last one of them was friendly and helpful from before we arrived to the check out. The food is so good! The breakfast is great and the dinner was superb. There’s a good selection of starters and mains and the ones we had were delicious. The portions are much larger than we expected and the price is very reasonable. The room was comfortable and a decent size.

Our room had a fusty, damp smell, it needs aired out more.
