About The Waverley Guest House
Breakfast is included at The Waverley Guest House, a straightforward starting point before heading out to explore Dumfries. There's no restaurant on site, but pubs, bars and eateries are all within easy reach nearby, so guests aren't short of options once the day gets going.
The property has 18 rooms, each with drinks provided, and is set up for adults only. Free WiFi and 24 hour reception are standard throughout, making it a practical base whether arriving late or heading out early. Pets are welcome too, which is worth knowing if you're travelling with a dog.
Dumfries and Galloway offers plenty for those who like to be active, with golf and fishing both nearby, including Silloth on Solway Golf Club as a point of interest for keen golfers. There's also entertainment nearby for evenings in. It's a functional, no-frills stay rather than a luxury one, so guests should expect the basics done reasonably rather than extras.
What guests say
Review of the bar only. A great pub to start and end a pub crawl in Dumfries by train. Tennant's lager is always refreshing and the locals are chatty and friendly.

It does the job! Been here for a week and I have no complaints at all. The room was clean and the bed was super comfortable. The owner is a diamond and cares about his guests. Also, I recommend his Cafe on the station platform which serves delicious rolls and amazing value. Would return in a shot its a basic room which is all you need in my humble opinion. Deffo hope to be back!

If I could rate this a zero I would. Worst experience of my life. When I arrived no heating and no running hot water. Owner told me it would be fixed. 3 hours later mid winter still no heating. Owner refused to give me any form of heating & when asked how I was meant to wash hands after toilet owner laughed at me. Didn’t fancy catching hypothermia so asked owner for refund at which point he refused and became so aggressive and confrontational that as an older woman I felt unsafe and frightened so had no option but to leave. DO NOT STAY HERE

DO NOT book this hotel! I give it a zero rating. Dirty bed sheets & mattress - hair & dirt. Filthy bathroom with hair from previous guest in shower & sink & used shampoo bottle in shower not removed. Musty/mouldy smell throughout hotel. Water damage in ceiling & paint peeling. Expedia should not even list this hotel. Booked hotel for two nights & luckily there was a B&B that had a cancelation, which we stayed at instead. Asked for a refund next day through Expedia, but owner refused. Did not stay in Waverley Hotel but forgot shoes in hotel. Went to retrieve shoes next day & owner held us hostage in hotel room demanding his key back even though he did not refund our money. Owner blocked hotel door with his body & when my sister & I tried to open door, owner pulled it shut & didn't allow us to leave. Was very scary for two Senior women! Finally got hold of Expedia in hotel room & owner let us leave, plus Expedia gave us a refund for one night only. DO NOT stay here - even if no where else to book!
