OYO Kirkconnel Hall Hotel

The Kirkconnel is very easily found from the A74(M), as being brown signed from the roundabout. The aesthetics were good on arrival as love old buildings. The entrance was eclectic. Despite having a a confirmation webpage, an email confirmation, reference number and a second email with check in details, there was no rooms available at all. So just double, triple your booking before travelling, especially if travelling a long distance because there was nothing else local

I found this place by accident. The hotel I had booked accidently gave me a single, and there were no other rooms left, so they recommended the Kirkconnel. And I'm so glad they did. Met a lovely couple with a cute dog called dilly. They were so welcoming. The place gave me old, warm and cosy vibes. The room was clean, the pillows were fluffy, the temp was nice. I couldn't fault this place at all. I'd love to come back here and stay again.

Rooms has been sold to me don’t exist in the hotel, I’ve charged half of the payment by hotel without my permission,be aware.

What a wonderful resting spot after a day of travel from the States. A cool and clammy day outside was relieved by a warm fire in the fireplace and great conversations around the crackling hearth with fellow travelers from Germany and Scotland. The local brews and ciders were an added touch and the rooms were modern, clean and spacious. Check out the extensive antiques collection just off the exquisite dining room where we had a tasty breakfast before heading further north.

This trip was a walk down memory lane for us. The Kirkconnel Hall was our local bar for a couple of years, back in the mid 1970's. Our trip was out of season, so there was no food available, but there were a couple of options in Ecclefchan itself. It was the owner who dealt with us and he was lovely, as were the ladies the next morning, when we had breakfast. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

OK, so it’s not the Ritz. But I think that many of the negative reviews on here might not be so bad if people had realistic expectations. This place is quirky, REALLY QUIRKY!! Yes, it’s really quite odd. For us, we liked it very much though we understand that it will not be to everybody’s taste. It’s very much Fawlty Towers meets Steptoe and Son. John the owner is extremely friendly and helpful, though calling him a hotelier is a bit of a stretch. The building is beautiful but in need of a little TLC. The ceilings and light fixtures are really lovely. There’s a‘ballroom’ filled to the rafters with bric-à-brac and antiques. There’s quite a bit of junk but also some really lovely and interesting stuff. I see on here that it’s £170 per night to book and if I paid that, I’d be disappointed too, however you can book this on Google for between £70 and £80 per night, (reasonable). We didn’t stay in the hotel this time, but on our next trip to Lockerbie we will be checking in.

A lovely experience. Friendly and ultra helpful staff. Lovely room. Great little bar with good company. Fantastic breakfasts. All the hotel was very clean and we'll organised. Would highly recommend. Will be back.

Located right next to junction 19 on the A74M, this quaint friendly little historical hotel provided a perfect stopping place for visiting the area. Staff members were very helpful and our room was comfortable; we enjoyed the breakfast which featured excellent freshly made croissants.

What an amazing place.....full of character and very handy for our journey on M74 from Scotland down to England. Very friendly staff and a good breakfast at a very reasonable rate. Would definitely stay again.
