Solway Lodge Hotel

Service good. Breakfast very good. Very clean but very dated. No tv reception. Noise from en suite fan not good

Food was excellent couldnt fault it, especially the steak pie and burgers. Breakfast was also excellent and room was comfy. The only thing that let our stay down was that we were charged for 2 lots of drinks at the end of the bill

Check in was a shambles, as no-one was around, and a mobile phone number to call was hidden amongst numerous notices on the outside door. Was made worse by a customer refusing to follow Covid rules and causing a ruckus - not the staff's fault. The mobile number needs to be more visible on the counter. The room was clean, but the furniture needs some touching up with black paint and the broken wardrobe door hinge needs more than an electric tape covering. The bathroom was fairly recently renewed, but the radiator hadn't been and was peeling / rusting badly. The temporary wood and tape in the doorway was also a let down. The towel holder had been fixed with mastic, and was coming away from the wall. However, the bed was comfy, plenty of tea and coffee was provided, and the window opened more than the usual 3 inches (which was good on the very warm night we stayed). Had an evening meal in the restaurant, and my husband said that the Hunter's Chicken was the best one he had ever had. My gammon was a substantial size and tasty. Prices were reasonable, but made better by the Eat Out to Help Out deal. Breakfast was very good, and the service was speedy. As soon as we had finished the cereals, the breakfast was ready. It was a substantial traditional breakfast although the sausage did not match the quality of the rest. With the faults mentioned, consider that the price paid was a little overpriced, but it is in a tourist area. Would stay there again, if back in that location.

I don’t travel up to Scotland very often due to work commitments but when I do we always st the solway lodge as it’s a go to hotel and honestly wouldn’t recommend staying anywhere else the staff are so friendly the hotel is always clean we would highly recommend this hotel even if just for a short stay we’ve been staying there for 6 years and nothing has changed it is a very well run hotel

Food was amazing, bedroom needed a paint , headboards uneven in twin room and beds way to soft for me only 1 pillow. Great location for Gretna outlet. Would have been nice to have background music in hotel would return even though I had a few issues

Great value for money

The owners made us very welcome. The food was excellent and breakfast was very good value.

Stayed 3 nites Home to home highly recommended.

We booked at very short notice due to being delayed on long drive and simply needed somewhere to stay. When we arrived there was a warm welcome. The lady walked us to our room and made sure we had everything we needed. Breakfast was one of the best I have had recently. We stumbled across this place by accident but will definitely be returning again soon but this time on a planned trip.

We stayed overnight at the Solway Lodge on the way home from Edinburgh. Staff were extremely friendly and welcoming - could not do enough to help. Our room was in a recently refurbished annex - very clean and comfortable if a little cramped (it had a set of bunkbeds as well as a double bed, which could be crowded if a family of four were staying for any length of time, but absolutely fine for a family of three for one night). Breakfast was included in the price and was freshly cooked to order. We would be very happy to stay here again.
