Hotels in Langholm

Langholm’s hotels and inns cluster around the High Street and the old bridges over the Esk, many of them long-established coaching houses that have been putting up travellers on the Carlisle to Edinburgh road for well over a century. The Douglas Hotel and the Crown Hotel both combine simple, comfortable rooms with busy bars and restaurants downstairs, so you’re never far from a meal or a pint after a day on the hills, while the Eskdale Hotel offers a similar mix of accommodation and home cooking in the heart of the town.

Beyond the town centre, the surrounding glens of Eskdale, Ewesdale and Wauchopedale hold a scatter of farmhouse bed and breakfasts and self-catering cottages, many run by families who have farmed this land for generations and can point guests towards the best hill walks, fishing beats on the Esk, or quiet backroads for cycling. Langholm’s position directly on the A7 also makes it a genuinely useful overnight stop for longer journeys between England and central Scotland, rather than purely a destination in itself.

Whatever you choose, Langholm’s hotels put you within easy striking distance of Whita Hill, the Tarras Valley Nature Reserve, and the wider network of Borders walking and cycling trails, as well as the town’s own handsome sandstone streets and riverside paths.
