Dalbeattie Guest House

We stayed in Dalbeattie for a night on the way home from Arran. The guest house is in a very quiet part of Dalbeattie but also only a short walk to the centre. The house is lovely, as is Barbara, your host. She’s very knowledgeable about the area and very friendly and easy to talk to. Our room was lovely and overlooked the pretty garden. Unfortunately we didn’t spot any Red Squirrels but as we had seen them on Arran we weren’t too disappointed. All of the facilities were very good and shower gel and everything you would expect is provided including tea making facilities. Barbara also provides fresh milk too. A good WiFi connection is also available. Breakfast was enormous and all good quality. Neither of us eat meat, so we had a cooked veggie breakfast (poached eggs, tattie scones, beans, mushrooms etc). Loads of toast, cereal, fresh grapefruit, yoghurt etc. We didn’t eat until about 2:30 in the afternoon after that! A really nice B&B that is more like staying as a guest in someone’s home. Which of course it is for Barbara. Many thanks and when we are up that way again we will book here.

Barbara is the most amazing hostess. The beds were super comfy and the breakfast was great. Ideally located for mountain biking in Dalbeattie forest and close to all the amenities in town. Great value great location Brilliant weekend. Highly recommended

This is my second visit to see the lovely Barbara, we had the ensuing room this time which was Nic. Barbara was as charming as ever and she makes a fantastic breakfast too. I hope to return in the future as this is a delightful place to stay.
