Wonderful staff and breakfast. The bar/dining area was cozy and great to meet/greet other travelers! Kudos to Stan, the Missus, and Darren. Hopefully the Cross Keys Hotel in Canonbie will achieve National Trust-worthy potential.
A better location right on the Borders, in Liddesdale, I cannot imagine (Hermitage Castle does not have adequate accommodations). ;) I woke up the first morning there with a Borders ballad tune playing in my head (I am NOT making this up). And the history of the place - no comparison - going back to the 1600's, when it was an inn and carriage house on the Edinburgh - Carlisle road. Living history - who were the historical personages that overnighted here?
Adjacent to Starbucks, Days Inn Gretna Green is close to the M74 and M6 motorways, and within easy reach of Carlisle. It has unlimited free Wi-Fi and free parking.

At the junction of many roads so easy to go off exploring in different directions. Some beautiful parkland with bridges over the river - and open public toilets! Helpful tourist office with lots of leaflets. Would recommend the prehistoric trail of Eskdale but you may need boots and a bit of energy to get up the steep hills to the forts. People friendly and a useful bakery and large co-op. Lots of buses stopping so may be suitable for a visit by public transport.

The castle & racecourse by the river were lovely, I though areas were a little run-down, but when exploring the town with dogs, you would find those areas. The river walk was lovely, & the town itself was wonderful. We tried to eat in the Pub in town, the barman said we could let the dogs off the leads in the back, but then a young woman told us that we couldn't, this put us off staying for something to eat, which was a shame as the Vegetarian menu looked wonderful.

Langholm is a beautiful town soaked in history.
Langholm is a beautiful town soaked in history. The lovely river Esk runs right through the town. There are several lovely walks in the area, my favourite is round the Duchess's Bridge. There are a few places to eat all very reasonably priced. We had a lovely meal in the Douglas Hotel, the food was excellent, just a small point I felt that the waitresses who served could have been a bit more friendly. I will definately return to Langholm but perhaps choose other accommodation.

What a lovely little town.
What a lovely little town. Friendly locals and lots to see and do. Douglas Hotel had a lovely restaurant and the food was superb. The bar area was friendly and vibrant. Wish I had been able to have a little look in the lovely shops I saw but as it was the weekend I missed opening hours.
We stayed at the Douglas Hotel one night as went biking in Mabie Forest and Newcastleton following day. The host met me at the door of the hotel which was really lovely and took me to the room then went to meet my boyfriend who was parking the car he then showed him to the room and went to the bar to get us a drink each, made us feel very welcome and nothing was a problem. Meal in restaurant was perfect, homemade lasagne and creme brûlée best I’ve tasted! Cannot fault this hotel and very good value for money!
The Crown is an old building undergoing refurbishment, but the bedroom and public rooms I experienced were fine. There are steep staircases. Its new owners are accessible, friendly and helpful. The food is well cooked, well presented and good value for money. Web photos of the hotel frontage don't look cyclist-friendly, however I was comfortable leaving an expensive bike in the secure storage area to the rear, and the owners assured me that improved bicycle and motorbike facilities are on their agenda.
Style, quality and finish of furnishings across the hotel is very good - good bed, bathroom, bar, dining room.
Food is good, the choice, variety and quality up to expectations, breakfast a bit better than expected.
Langholm is a good place to stay for the Borders if you travel from the South.
Nice friendly staff and the locals are great also, a very warm welcoming feeling.
The food is really good also and the portions are huge.
Located in the centre of Langholm, perfect location with shops on the same street.
The staff were wonderful and so welcoming. Lovely little hotel set in the perfect location for exploring. The room had everything we needed and very comfortable beds.
Homemade scones on arrival. Moira is the friendliest host ever 🥰. Located right on the heart of Langholm, with car parking a bonus. Breakfast exceeds expectations.
