Eweclose Farm. A fantastic view over the Solway Firth not worth taking today but during the summer I intend to return.

A Green Lane. This narrow lane runs down to Gilcrux. It is little used except for agricultural traffic, but hasn't deteriorated over the last ten years. The verges are havens for wild flowers, especially primroses in early spring.

9/10 Wonderful! (219 reviews)
We had a wonderful 3 night stay just after the New Year. The hotel is full of character, and the room we had was clean, spacious and well appointed. Service and food amazing. Not cheap but well worth the price given the experience we had.

8.2/10 Very Good! (658 reviews)
Room 31 was clean and tidy, but the shower was too hot, and a leaking tap. The room we were moved to (127) was also very clean and tidy. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hot tub/jaccuzi could have been warmer. When we went in it was not very warm.
