Greeted with a very warm welcome with all facilities clean, accessible and available. Very comfortable stay, bring 20p for the showers (change available from reception).

We are spending a few nights in Gretna and staying here. Lovely lady in reception on check in and pleasant helpful staff to answer questions. Nice hot showers and clean facilities. Good location for a walk to the shops or convenient bus stops for further travel. Dog friendly too, thanks.
