The dairy-free provision at breakfast, didn't expect that at all. What a treat (I'm lactose intolerant and normally there aren't alternatives).

Woodland House hotel is a grade B listed Georgian mansion on the edge of the market town of Dumfries. Set amongst a secluded rural landscape the family-run hotel offers free private on-site parking.

Bedrooms at the hotel are spacious and fitted with bespoke hardwood furniture. The en suite tiled bathrooms are large in size and contemporary in design.

A very friendly well run hotel in a lovely part of the world. The breakfast and the dinner were invariably excellent with many options available. The family who run the hotel made me feel incredibly welcome. It was also clearly a popular spot for locals to come and have dinner or organise celebrations.

    The Huntingdon is a fabulous beautifully renovated building. My room was well presented spotless and quiet. The shower is awesome!! Just had breakfast in a lovely dining room. Breakfast was very nice too. I give it a total 10/10. Although it is a B and B it's like a boutique hotel. Well done the owners 😃😄

    Feels more like a luxury boutique hotel than a guest house. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The room had everything one could ask for and it was very cosy. The breakfast was delicious and there was a wide selection of different food options. The place is located close to the railway station and a walk to the town centre will only take about 5 minutes. I'll happily rebook it if I ever visit Dumfries again.
