    The bed was lumpy & the curtains didn’t keep any light out, so (being sensitive to this kind of thing) I didn’t sleep very well. My Husband slept like a log

    Lovely hotel in a good location on the edge of Gretna. Handy for the motorway. The staff were very friendly & our room was clean & comfortable. The breakfast was generous & very tasty, just what was needed before our trek further north into the highlands of Scotland

    There was no phone in the room so not able to contact reception. The remote control for the TV was cracked almost broken. The tea/coffee facilities were sufficient although in the wrong place in the room! No plug where the kettle was so had to move it to next to the bed. A simple rejig of the furniture In The room would solve the few issues I came across.

    The location is excellent, the welcome at reception was professional yet personable. The room was a good size. The bed very comfortable. The restaurant was very comfortable, the menu choice and was service was extremely good. The breakfast choice was excellent as was the service. I would definitely recommend and stay again.

    There's only one thing we don't like about the Gables, which is a certain male member of staff. We find him to be what I would describe as "pass-remarkable" and somewhat rude. In fact, when we told him we didn't want alcoholic drinks he pressed for a reason why not, which, it occurs to me, wouldn't be good if you were a recovering alcoholic and you had someone saying "oh go on, have a drink". In fact we didn't eat at the hotel because of his behaviour.

    We have been to the Gables a couple of times before, and once again it didn't disappoint. Clean, neat room, tea and coffee making facilities available. We were given a guest information sheets which was helpful. Breakfast lovely and most staff brilliant.

    The hotel is a little dated but adequate and still very well kept. Wifi, tv and phone signal wasn't great. And - absolutely no fault of The Gables - but it was impossible to get a taxi between the two venues, reliable taxis do not exist in Gretna which I find baffling considering the demand.

    We were attending a wedding at The Gretna Hall Hotel so we stayed here at The Gables in the triple room. The staff were great, gave us a lovely welcome, arranged early check-in and couldn't help us enough. The room was basic but very comfortable and perfectly suitable for a one night visit. Full Scottish breakfast was delicious and very filling. We would definitely stay here again.
