Very pleasant stay
David and his team looked after us well, providing a nice comfortable room with good quality beds, a bathroom and towels. Downstairs is the local bar and dining area where a good selection of beers are served. The Kings Arms is located in the central part of Castle Douglas and includes secure parking. We had a nice stay.

Not the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
Last minute break with our dog for tge Soap box Derby. Everything went to plan with lots of communication. No issues booking in, made welcome even the dog and everything explained if we stayed out late. Quality filling breakfast.

Lovely hotel in Castle Douglas
We loved this hotel. The staff and owners were all so lovely and helpful, giving us some bread so our daughter could feed the same at the nearby loch. The meals were great and the rooms comfortable. Wholly recommended.

Lovely Hotel
The staff were very friendly and the hotel is very dog friendly. In fact there is a large park within 5 minutes of walking from the hotel where the dog can be exercised. The food was also excellent and was freshly'home cooked'.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful, even before we arrived as we had been severely delayed en route, as allowed us to arrive late. Felt looked after, and like old friends.
