- Antje (10/5): Schöne Unterkunft, tolles Frühstück, würden wir wieder buchen. - Schöne Unterkunft mit Herz. Alles da, was man braucht, toller Vermieter und ein super Frühstück, was individuell bestellt werden konnte. Das Beste und fast einmalig in GB, kostenloser Parkmöglichkeit an der Straße einfach direkt gegenüber. Im Gegensatz zum Inneren sah es vor der Eingangstür etwas ungepflegt aus, das hat aber letztlich die Qualität unseren Aufenthaltes nicht geschmälert.

Central location

- Mahesh (10/5): The Breakfast was very good , big portions - Very nice Not applicable
- Chris Maile (5/5): - Owner was very personable and friendly - breakfast was brilliant Room was very dated, Annan is not the best location - it didn't look like room i think I booked from booking.com
- Judith (8/5): Well located and friendly B&B - Nothing was too much trouble which we really needed after a long day. The owner is easy to deal with and we appreciated that.
The breakfast room lent itself to interaction and we had some really lovely interaction with the other guests.
- Hugh (6/5): Disappointing breakfast, clearly precooked and average content. - Nice fella running it, very chatty. No lounge, basic room and poor shower.
- christian (10/5): Monday 12 Sep25 - Really I want to keep this place a secret other wise it will be booked up when I need it!
Great stay, great room. Great breakfast. Very close to train station. 0829 to Kilmarnock or Glasgow!
- Peacock (9/5): - Lovely old style property in a great location.
The breakfast was superb
Dave the owner was very helpful Nothing really
- Claudia (9/5): - Sehr zuvorkommender und freundlicher Vermieter, typisch schottisches Frühstück. Die Restaurantauswahl in der Umgebung ist eher dürftig
- Teresa (10/5): A warm welcome with superb hospitality - Close enough to Gretna Green for the renewal of our friend’s wedding vows and within walking distance of the restaurant chosen to celebrate. The Old Rectory is a beautiful property with high ceilings and cozy beds. The owner was amazing and made us both feel welcomed and looked after. Breakfast (included) was superb. A very warm and cozy B&B tucked into a quiet spot. We didn’t stay longer.
- Ian (9/5): Very happy with my stay and good value for money. Just a couple of small hiccups. - Breakfast was a healthy fruit and yoghurt. I had to refuse the fried breakfast as I had reached my limit whilst touring the week before. It looked very good. Bed was good. TV - I found hard to get going and had to ask the host who immediately got it working - lol The shower/bath room was a little grubby with some mould in places. Not enough for a complaint but they might want to address it with a deep clean before it gets worse.
- Carol (10/5): -
- Pippa (9/5): Good value and good location - Location served us well and there was good on road parking. There were lovely large fluffy towels to enjoy and room was spacious and light. Not all the items on the breakfast menu seemed available on the day but for what we were paying it was fine. Cooked breakfast was tasty.
- Gary (10/5): Comfortable bedroom & good bathroom facilities - Ease of booking & friendly check in & very helpful ensuring off street parking overnight of my motorcycle No dislikes
- Howard (10/5): Great place to stay - Friendly welcome and carried our case to the bedroom.
Spacious bedroom. Nice and quiet.
Excellent cooked breakfast of choice and NOT from a buffet.
Will definitely stay here the next time in the area
- Iain (7/5): -
- Gordon (6/5): - We had a good stay here. We arrived early for check in and parked in the walled garden as advertised. Went to knock on door and the garden areas were unkempt and didn’t bode well. Although these were not for guests use, they still didn’t give us a very good first impression about the place. No one was in so as we had an hour until our planned check in, we went for a walk. Check in was at 5 and when we returned Dave was very welcoming and showed us to our room, which was light and airy although a bit dated. On further inspection of the room, it was very dusty and certainly hadn’t been properly cleaned. The shower was not very good as the force of the water was poor. We had a good sleep and the bed was very comfortable. The linen and towels were excellent. All in all we had a decent stay, it’s just a pity some minor issues could have improved our rating.

- Heike (9/5): Wir kommen gerne wieder es war sehr schön. - Es ist ein sehr schönes, kleines B&B Hotel. Das Zimmer war groß und wir hatten viel Platz, auch mit unserem Hund. Es war sehr gemütlich eingerichtet. Das Frühstück wurde am Morgen persönlich vom Chef zubereitet. Im Anschluss habe ich noch ein paar nette Tipps für die Umgebung bekommen. Ich kann es nur sehr empfehlen. Einziger klitzekleiner Nachteil ist die doch recht laute Straße. Aber mit geschlossenem Fenster konnten wir gut schlafen..
- Jonames7929 (10/5): If you’re after a comfy nights sleep, book this. - Really comfy beds and a lovely host. Nothing.
- Joseph Wardrope (10/5): -
- Pauline (8/5): Well worth considering for a stay - Fabulous bed. Really big and comfortable. Great breakfast. Helpful suggestion as to where to go for a drink in the evening.: Nothing
- Ayesha (8/5): A lovely bnb in Annan - Great location and a nice breakfast too for a reasonable price. Dave was an excellent host, really attentive and knowledgable. It would’ve been nice to have a bit more flexibility on breakfast / check in / check out timings but within the parameters, Dave was nice and accommodating.
- JOHN SEBASTIAN (9/5): -
- Mark (10/5): - Dave was a great host - and the breakfast is amazing!
- jonathan (10/5): - Just what we needed. Dave is a wonderfully welcoming and accommodating host who couldn’t go out of his way enough to make our short stay a lovely one.
- Siobhan (8/5): -
- Kathryn (7/5): One Night in Annan - Location, price, friendly service and facilities.
Excellent breakfast. Pressure on shower very low.
