My wife & I stayed over night during a driving tour through Scotland. We were very satisfied with our brief stay - a non-pretentious pub which provided all we needed. The room was clean and well equiped, with a comfortable bed. Our dinner and breakfast were tasty and generous. The landlord was very helpful and knowledgeable with useful recommendations for... More

Our daughter planned this break for us two, our son and her and her partner. We had a ball!. The hotel was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was amazing. Gerry, the landlord, was eager to please and his staff were good and friendly. Our room was lovely with a huge shower room which looked brand new. The bed was as... More

Charmingly oddball and haphazard Inn that tries very hard.... even out of season and when you are the only guests......to make your stay enjoyable. Breakfasts were lovely and tailored to your specific requests. (Downside is that you have to choose the night before. and no sauces were offered) Evening meals are basic bar food but nicely done....( no chips out... More

We stayed at the Abbey Arms Hotel using it as a base for a mountain biking weekend in Mabie Forest and the surrounding area. It is a down to earth establishment which does not masquerade as a boutique hotel. Our room was clean, pleasant with an en-suite with basic electric shower. It had the usual facilities – tea/coffee and a... More

No towels in the bedrooms - but no running water either! No heating. Only one dusty bottle of wine available from the list. No ice in the bar. I could go on. And on. And on.......... More

The Abbey Arms in New Abbey is near Dumfries in Scotland. It is a good location for touring southern Scotland. It is a couple of miles from the Firth of Solway. It is near Stranraer where you catch the ferry to Belfast in Ireland or vice versa.This is a bed and breakfast which also has a pub and restaurant. There... More

This was such a poor venue to stay we were really tempted to look for alternative accommodation - we didn't because we only had to suffer this place for 1 night!!! Whilst the bed linen was clean enough the list of disappointments is long: 1. The TV in the room didn't work...staff weren't interested - we did advise the receptionist... More

My adult daughter and I travelled to this hotel as we were going to a wedding at the lovely Sweetheart Abbey a few minutes walk away. Our stay was for two nights. On arrival we were asked who we were and handed the keys to room 2. The room was a good size and contained two beds. It was quite... More

Stayed for three days. Rooms are clean enough and food was available but only to residents. Owner was obnoxious. If you want to stay in this area, book with The Criffel Inn' over the road from the Abbey Arms. This is a friendly place to stay, and all the locals are as friendly, as we had a good laugh with...
