Stayed overnight on our way down south, but would not stay there again. To be honest, it is a budget hotel and you get what you pay for. In our case we found the hotel to be totally lacking in charm or character. As a previous reviewer has mentioned, the bar/restaurant are dark, dingy and make you feel as if... More

In response to the above review I can totally disagree that the bar /restaurant have no character as they were designed to be comfortable and homely as well as being extremely clean and tidy. Also the room in which the guests were staying was recently refurbished to a very high standard at considerable expense and in my opinion is looking... More

Was not so pleased when I heard the manager offer reluctant guest £10 a night off their room price bit did not offer it to... More

Stayed for a night while at a wedding. Hotel was good, the bar area is nice, food is good value and the service is great. If you are looking for somewhere cosy and relaxing to chill out for a couple of day's it's ideal.

Hotel was good and welcoming when we arrived and throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful whenever asked for anything. We had booked out most of the rooms for 2 nights for a wedding party and expected chaos when people checked in but it all went really smoothly! The food for the wedding reception was lovely until the... More

I got married in Gretna on 2nd March 2013 and chose Solway Lodge for our stay and wedding reception. I can not praise this hotel enough. The honeymoon suite was lovely, food amazing, and the service was second to none. Nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff. Our family stayed at the hotel too and have all... More

We stayed at this Hotel for one night and found it to be very pleasant. The chap who met us at reception was very nice and even offered to carry our bags to our room. Our room was large enough, and the only slight down-fall was the bed being too hard for my liking ( others may not think so... More

Stopped done night from Midlands on way to Aberdeen; chosen because dog can stay free. (£20 at nearby chain hotel). Pleasantly surprised, given a warm welcome; cosy, spotless room & ensuite. Excellent rate included freshly cooked breakfast & so close to motorway. Would definitely recommend.
