The Gables Hotel

We stayed here in October 2024 when we got married and had our reception here. We cannot recommend The Gables enough! The staff were so lovely and couldn't do enough for us, the food is delicious and the hotel has a lovely homely feel to it. The location is lovely and quiet and there is plenty of shops within walking distance. There is a great selection of rooms and they are dog friendly!

Went to sort out Wedding plans at Gretna, as we've been before decided to stay at The Gables Hotel this time. Unfortunately doesn't have the same quality as other hotels we've stayed in. All staff we're lovely can't fault them. The hotel looks rundown and unkept. We had 2 rooms both we're very old fashioned and had cobwebs on the ceiling Small TV hanging off the wall in 1 room. Bathroom had dirty tiles. Our friends had there Wedding there 20yrs ago and we're disappointed at how bad the place looks now. Wouldn't stay there again.

In desperate need of a refurbishment. We stayed in the "family suite". Room 9. It was like a time capsule from 1995. Cobwebs in the door ways, upside down pictures on the wall, a brown thin carpet to hide the dirt and mattresses that when new in 1980 were no doubt comfy but now need a trip to tip matched with a headboard that had head shaped threadbare patched on each side. You have to compare every cheap hotel to a Premier Inn and this room, like so many tired UK hotels, just didn't feel worth the price. Just make an effort, decorate the room, replace the beds and clean. The corridors has been decorated but then you would come across a threadbare random chair with foam on show through a huge tear..why? Just remove it or replace it! It's not hard. Dinner menu hugely overpriced, restaurant empty and the general feeling of disrepair and lack of investment made you doubt the kitchen cleanliness. Breakfast was good. The only + really. Close it, spend £££ or run it into the ground. Nit sure what this hotel's plan is.

We stopped at Gables Hotel for my daughters and Son in-laws wedding, on the 1st of Nov, we had their wedding reception in the beautiful Galloway Suite , after her getting married at the Anvil Hall . We decorating the wedding room the night before the wedding our self's, the Manager Jorn stopped up with us helping till 2.30 in the morning bless him, he could not have been more friendly and helpful if he tried 😀, thank you Jorn . Charlotte the wedding organiser, was spot on with her correspondence with emails and phone calls , covering every little concern we had , with the smallest problem to the very end, ie, the measurements of the tables as I was making the table garlands and curtains myself. Even down to the food choices , again thank you Charlotte 😊. The buffet was fantastic, so much food choice, rooms wete lovely and clean, the wedding party were on the same ground floor near the wedding reception. Also a big thank you to the bar staff Carl, and the ladies Nicolaon and Jane on reception they were so friendly , and all the staff that that worked so hard. You even gave my daughter some chocolates and fiz on the morning of her getting ready for het wedding. Little touches like that makes a big difference. Thank you to everyone, we will definitely stay at the Hotel again. From Mr & Mrs Bryant & mother and Farther of the Bride .

We had a family wedding at the Gables, no wedding coordinator turned up, was told it was her day off, hardly any staff on the day, it was very unprofessional and not the wedding day the Bride and Groom paid in advance for. The hotel is very dated and would not recommend it to anybody.

Worst hotel we have EVER stayed in! Came for the weekend for a wedding. No hot water. Staff very unhelpful and very unprofessional. Waiter who was running the wedding tipped a full tray of Prosecco over the bride and bridesmaid! Food not edible at the wedding breakfast or evening meal. Told they were short staffed but didn’t see the manager until we complained when leaving. Owner and owners son very rude when complained to them! The rooms are awful so dated and dirty. Very noisy, the fire doors are loud, you can hear when someone flushes the toilet in the room above. Window didn’t shut and we were on the ground floor, view of over grown shrubs! Mould and dirt in the bathroom, cobwebs and dust everywhere. DO NOT STAY HERE!

On arrival at the hotel very impressive on the outside, the room we had needed to be upgraded and cleaned properly drawers missing at bed side bathroom need to be replaced and also cleaned properly door was very dirty the photo I have put on is the presentation of the mike coffee etc not what you wound expect The receptionist on arrival was very friendly and helpful as was the restaurant staff and food was good but the receptionist on in the morning was unfriendly and looked like she just got out of bed hair look still wet not a good impression to leave on Their is a charge for our furry family don’t know why as nothing except bowls were in the room most people travelling with dogs would have there own bowls

This was a wedding the worst experience I have ever had arrived no hot water in wedding party's room ....no rooms ready for the wedding Barman dropped full tray of wine all over the bride... the food for the reception and evening meal uneatable

Lovely stay.friendly staff.relaxing Was box of milk tray and wine left in room i think as it was my anniversary.lovely gesture

Beautiful looking hotel, was staying as attending a wedding nearby.. lovely, very welcoming and polite staff, clean n tidy hotel , though could do with updating rooms ..they were exceptionally clean and comfortable with ample car parking
