David is a fantastic and friendly host. All the staff, though, made us feel welcome. We stayed in the Annex which is large and well specced. Breakfasts hit the spot for hungry mountain bikers. it's a great location for the best mountain biking trails in the UK. Town is a bit on the quiet side but the Kings Arms Bar... More

Fantastic weekend, golf was organised by David at great value for the quality of courses we played. The hotel was in a great position for the courses we played. The Hotel was extremely friendly and welcoming with nothing to much for them. The breakfast was excellent and very substantial with an excellent choice to suit everyone, we dinned at the... More

We had lunch at the Kings Arms last Saturday for a family birthday. There were about 16 adults and 5 children. The Hotel had kindly put up balloons and banners without being asked to, which was a lovely touch. We had a 3 course menu with approximately 4 courses on each course. The food was piping hot and brought from... More

It is home to Sulwath micro brewery, two indian and one chinese restaurants. The Kings Arms... More

Was down in this lovely part of Scotland on business and booked this hotel on the strength of Trip Advisor reviews - and i'm glad i did so. Staff were spot on, from check in to check out. Rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean with good tourist info if needed and freeview TV. My colleague and i ate in the... More

Castle Douglas has a certain old fashioned charm, just like the Kings Arms Hotel. The well-managed King's Arms has had two stars from the RAC but we will give it 4 because of its friendliness and because it seems like the sort of place that would have been loved by John Buchan, author of Huntingtower and Thirty Nine Steps. The... More

Just returned from a 3 night golf break, staying at the Kings Arms. If you are looking for a good hotel that provides decent evening meals, a good breakfast selection and has an owner who cares- try this hotel. Been going to Castle Douglas for the golf for around 10 years and make a point of staying here. David is... More
