I stayed here with a conference. Dinner for around 15 was good and served quickly by smiling staff. Bar staff were friendly and efficient. Conference facilities were also good - with a decent lunch - and the bedrooms large and adequately clean. Breakfast was OK, although the serving area is very small. But our rooms were 120 feet away from... More

Thank you for these very kind words in relation to my staff and hotel. It means a lot to us, knowing that another guest is spreading the word that Gretna Green is a great place to stay, with world class facilities and staff at the top of their game. Do come back and see us next time you are in... More

The Jacuzzi bath is huge and fantastic. The staff here are totally professional but equally friendly. We had a great breakfast during our stay with... More

My Husband and I booked this hotel last minute. The hotel is beautiful, staff very friendly and we drove here there and everywhere whilst staying here. The restaurant a little pricey but was nice, only ate there once. The hotel is very good for the wheelchair user. The rooms very comfortable. More

Could have been better: only our first day began with a pleasant reception by a helpful person on duty. The Internet was intermittent then went down overnight & the second receptionist was dismissive--other guests also complained to us in passing. Our lunch order was messed up, for which the waitress apologised, but we waited 55 minutes in a quiet restaurant... More

Thanks for the fantastic review. Im so glad that we were able to upgrade you. So often with the Penthouse being so popular we are unable to upgrade, so its always nice to enhance your day just that little bit more when we can. Best regards, Darren More
