A very impressive attention to detail - from the milk in the fridge for a cuppa, to the spring water & mints in the corner - not belittling the decor and facilities themselves.

A delightful place to rest your head and one to recommend to friends and family!

Our host was very welcoming and had the room nicely prepared. (just lacked a tea towel J )

Lynette & John from Australia

We stayed in the Garden Cottage. It was so cute, very serviceable kitchen & lovely big bathroom.

It is so quaint to look out the bedroom window & watch the sheep contently grazing.

The owners are lovely & friendly.

Great cooked breakfast.

Great stay. Very happy. J

This is as nice a hotel as you could get anywhere, but its in a building which is steeped in history.

The welcome is warm, the food is fantastic, free internet, sky freeview, games, books, fish to look at, telescope to see birds and stars.

The only thing I'd change is to tar the drive and to put a wheelchair ramp in so that wheelchair guests could enjoy this also.

I have just spent 2 nights in what I regard as the comfiest, most courteous  guest house I've been in to date. Breakfast was outstanding, hosts were friendly and accommodating. If you want to relax it has the most amazing lounge and this is the place to relax. 5 star.

Excellent service and the attention to small details make it an outstanding place to stay. Fantastic breakfast and the snacks are delicious. Faultless! Forget about other B&B's or hotels - Rhins is something really special - 10 out of 10!

The facilities are great and all your needs are catered for.

Thank you very much for making our stay here very comfortable. The rooms are lovely and you have thought of everything for them to make the stay very special.

Breakfast was excellent and it was so kind of you to put the tray out when we had to leave early on our last day. Look forward to staying again, especially when the big hall is complete. Thanks again.

Due to the volcanic ash, we had to change our travel plans.

Booked stay at the last minute.

Lovely place !

It's the little details that have been considered e.g. fresh milk for tea/coffee.

Very nice breakfast.

We will call again.

Really enjoyed one night stay here on way to Glasgow.

Everything was perfect, lovely bright clean room. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Lynn Fenwick

Fantastic. I stayed on business several months ago and its like coming home. The little touches (bottled water/mints/scissors for opening sachets etc) make a big difference. Very large and clean room. A 10 out of 10 rating is not high enough.

23/03/2010

Sally Maine

I feel as if I have been really well looked after.

Thank-you for all your care and attention.

I will happily recommend you to my colleagues.

Perfect blend of traditional with contemporary.

We will definitely book here again - and book early!!

Joris and Heleen van Pesch

We're coming here for several years and enjoy every minute of it.

John and Paul always make us feel very welcome.

Breakfast is excellent, one of the best in Britain.

Rooms are spacious and always very clean.

It's a good location for the ferries and also for visiting interesting places in this part of Scotland.

Lyn Wormald

Wonderful nights stay - from welcome to goodbye.

Room lovely and so comfortable, a good nights sleep, breakfast to die for....., all before a ferry trip and long journey ahead.

Won't be long until I return !

p.s. love the flask of "real" milk.

Helen C. Worcestershire

As a B&B/Guesthouse, the Rhins of Galloway exceeds all our expectations!

The level of service, decor, & comfort are better than some 4 or 5* hotels that we've stayed in. In addition, my husband (a connoisseur of such things!) said the full breakfast was the best he'd had in terms of quality, freshness & presentation. We'd love to stay again & thoroughly recommend to others!

Rose Hare

Thank you for your hospitality. The rooms were beautiful and very comfortable. We plan to return for a longer stay.

Thank you.
