Best Western Station Hotel  

Just a few minutes' walk from Dumfries town centre, this Victorian railway hotel sits close to Ewart Public Library, the Robert Burns Statue and the Moat Brae National Centre for Children's Literature. Dumfries and County Golf Club is nearby and Sweetheart Abbey is about six miles away — ideal for walkers and sightseers.

Housed in a handsome Victorian building, the hotel offers 32 ensuite rooms with flat-screen TVs, coffee/tea makers and ironing centres. Expect a tidy, traditional vibe with a patio garden and fountain, terrace views and friendly, down-to-earth service — the sort that might include a welcoming dram of single malt.

Free wired and wireless internet throughout, complimentary self-parking, a bar/lounge and a restaurant on-site. Relax in the garden or on the terrace, squeeze in a workout at the on-site gym, and enjoy easy access to riverside walks and nearby golf courses — wake up to fresh-air strolls just steps away.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet, a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, dry cleaning and laundry services, a safe-deposit box and onsite free self-parking. An elevator makes rooms accessible.

The Courtyard Bistro serves international cuisine and hearty, home-cooked fare; full breakfasts are available for a fee. There’s a bar/lounge for drinks and 24-hour room service when you want to eat in.
