The Art Bank

Excellent location, Mandy was a great host she put on an excellent breakfast and catered for gluten free. Room was well presented and comfortable.

The location was within easy driving distance of the South of Scotland horse trials, which was one of the main reasons I chose this B&B. I ended up with one of the family rooms to myself which had a great amount of space for just me, but this would definitely be enough for the up-to 4 people the room can take. There were both a freestanding hanging rail and a good sized set of drawers for clothes storage so keeping clothing flat was super easy. There were different lights within the room so you didn't feel like you had to keep the big light on in order to see - in fact the lamps made a cosy atmosphere at night. The window was able to be opened and there was also a standing fan provided which was much needed on summer nights. Also in the room were 2 cushioned chairs, as well as a small table and 2 dining style chairs but I didn't make use of these, but would be handy for a group stay (as the room is generally intended for). There was a basket of toiletries provided and in the bathroom there was both a shower and a bath available. For breakfast, you are provided with a sheet for each of the mornings you'll be there so you can choose the day before what you'd like to eat the following day. There is a good selection and although I didn't have time for a big breakfast, the food I did try was very tasty. You can even choose what time you'd like your breakfast for, meaning you're not stuck getting up at the same time every day to avoid missing the food. The owner was lovely and explained everything to me upon check in, the room and (shared) bathroom were clean and the bed was very comfortable. There is some free parking nearby which wasn't necessarily on the booking info but was easy to find on maps. I would definitely stay here again!

The only teeny tiny thing was the room door was a little tricky to lock properly, but it's a very small thing and certainly wouldn't put me off staying again.

I loved the Monet room so much! It had everything I needed and more! Plenty of sachets of hot chocolate and packets of chocolate chip cookies! The little bag of home made soap was just delightful, a really lovely unexpected extra treat. Mandy was very friendly and I felt very much at home at the Art Bank. Coming down to an absolutely beautifully laid table with fresh juices, yogurt, fruits, cereals etc as 'starters' and then a full cooked Scottish breakfast totally set me up for the day! I did my best with it! Mandy is very knowledgable about the local area too. I felt free to come and go as I pleased. The Art bank is spotlessly clean yet homely and absolutely beautiful, full of Mandy and her students' beautiful art works. I look forward very much to my next visit!

Nothing at all quite honestly!

Very fog friendly and a sumptuous breakfast.

Our stay in Dalbeattie was awesome. The bed was super comfy and spacious. We loved the decor and character. Breakfast was so good, we were super excited the next morning for it! It was warm and cosy, the salukis were such a treat. Location and parking were great too. Highly recommend.

I had an exceptional stay. I stayed in the Van Gogh room which was very comfortable. A lot of thought had clearly been put into the décor. Breakfast was delicious with a choice of fresh fruit, cereals and granolas. Also cooked breakfast was excellent. Mandy is the best host and a very talented artist.

Nothing at all.

The breakfast fantastic BEST BED& BREAKFAST IN DALBETTIE. AS for Mandy great personality very helpful goes the extra mile
