Didn't stay at the Hotel. Visited for dinner only. I was very disappointed. The food was very poor in the opinion of me and some others in the party. Flavourless prawns to start with a strange tasting Japanese mayonnaise which I couldn't eat. Fillet steak at £20 should have been a treat. Asked for it rare - came cooked what... More

Very glad to say they happily squeezed us in ..... the staff could not have been more helpfull. We found the the service, selection of food and quality served to be excellent. We will definitely make the... More

To be fair, the food, and service was very good, and the welcome warm, however the bedrooms were a real let down. Compare any hotel in this price bracket on the web, and you will get a reasonably comfortable room, with fresh decor, white sheets, (no old fashioned bed covers) and a working bathroom with a fresh lino/tiled floor, and...

Enjoyable stay only marred by a drainage problem in the shower. They attempted to fix it which helped but not perfect. I was staying to the rear of the hotel in a brick built outbuilding which was more than adequate for my fishing trip though others may want more luxury. Excellent evening food, beer and breakfast. Reasonably priced, good parking... More

This about the 5th time I have stayed at the Somerton House on Business. I have clients in and around the Dumfries and Lockerbie area and I always stay at this Hotel. I found it because on one of my visits years ago my usual hotel was full. I have never gone back to that hotel mainly because I always... More

Fantastic hotel. Staff were great and really friendly and welcoming. Room was lovely, clean, warm and a very inviting. Evening meal in the conservatory was lovely. Breakfast was tasty. Would stay here again without hesitation as nothing was too much trouble and was really good value for money. More

Living locally to the Somerton Hotel, I have never had need to stay at the hotel overnight, but having used their restaurant regularly, I would recommend them as good value, excellent cuisine and exceptionally friendly staff. They have always been attentive towards the needs of my elderly mother which is appreciated. My family and I have just enjoyed an excellent... More

We stayed at the Somerton House Hotel by chance. The RAC ensured we had hotel accomodation when our car broke down on the motorway near Lockerbie. We had no idea that we would be in such an amazing place. The bedroom was palatial with a four poster bed, 40 inch TV and ensuite bathroom with a jacuzzi bath. We enjoyed... More

This is a wonderful Scottish experience. First of all, the hotel is a victorian stone style. Two large stone lions greet you at the front step, one marked "stanley" the other "livingstone", I assume to commemorate the famous 19th century meeting of the two explorers. The place is very clean and accommodating. The people are genuinely nice in the area.... More
