Selkirk Arms Hotel

We enjoyed this hotel very much & it far exceeded expectations - the best value for money of the hotels that we stayed in on our Scottish tour. Our Superior King room was lovely, comfortable, quiet, with great view of garden. Staff friendly and obliging, & knowledgable of the district. Dining good & reasonably priced. We’d like to make special mention of the breakfast kippers from Galloway Smokehouse - we ordered some more from them as soon as we got home & have not been disappointed!

We were in Kirkcudbright for personal reasons and had booked the Selkirk Arms Hotel. From our initial warm and welcoming greeting, until we checked out a few days later, we had an excellent stay. Dinner in the bar, breakfast in the restaurant, plenty of choice at both, cooked to a tee, food of good quality, fresh and local. Our room on the first floor was quiet, spacious and traditional, no time for the tv as we were on a mission. The sun shone. We thought the staff were brilliant. A particular mention to Joanna, so personable, helpful and fun. Every hotel should have one. You were great. Thanks too to Magda for helping us in our quest, it was appreciated. We left the Selkirk Arms with very fond memories of it and Kircudbright. Thank you.

Was looking forward to staying here They upgraded me to a double room, though with numerous stairs The hotel is Georgian and the stairs and rooms are from that time, sash windows that rattle, small tight bathroom with shower in bath not easy if you have disabilities, no safety handles and not easy climbing into bath for a shower, not very disabled friendly but they have some ground floor rooms outside at the back. Wifi good Parking at rear of hotel My main annoyance was the price via quality of the food at £10 for a prawn cocktail and £32 for a steak (which was tough and inedible, though they did refund me). I do not drink so £99 for two dinners says a lot. Not cheap at £125 a night for a single in January. I left a day early and drove home, losing £125 but had paid for that and did not fancy another £50+ dinner sitting in a bar area The service was pleasant and breakfast was ok they cooked me tomatoes and toast Lovely town but will not be in a hurry to stay here again, though I have friends in the area and had driven 250 miles

Where do I begin. I booked the restaurant on line for my birthday treat. When we arrived we were met with a lovely welcoming smile and led to our table. It took a few moments to realise the table had been decorated with a Happy Birthday sign and card. Next we were offered a celebratory drink which was also totally unexpected. What followed was a most exceptional meal, great service, a very hospitable host in Chris the owner and an all round wonderful experience. We will be calling in again before the week is out for drinks. There is also a beautiful secluded beer garden for those who like the fresh air.

The Selkirk Arms Hotel was even better than I'd expected. Our room was large, quiet, clean, & very comfortable with an excellent bed & comfy bedding. The beautiful dining room, breakfast room, & garden was an unexpected plus & the breakfasts & dinner we had was very good. I'm so happy we stayed there.

Having arranged to meet friends visiting from down south, we decided to book a table, and so glad we did. From the warm welcome to the wonderful food, nothing could be faulted. We will definitely be back and would heartly recommend to anyone. Thanks for making a great night even more special.
