Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Hunters Lodge Hotel is often praised for its spacious rooms equipped with tea and coffee facilities, and comfortable beds with fluffy pillows. Many guests appreciate the home-cooked food, with dinner being a particularly substantial option and breakfast presented as a buffet. The hotel is conveniently located, with a shopping centre just a 5-minute walk away in one direction and Gretna village a 5-minute walk in the other; some guests have, however, mentioned that the hotel feels somewhat dated.

The staff was cute! The on-site bar and restaurant served tasty, homemade meals with daily specials (i tried the fish and chips). I found my room spacious, clean, and the bed super comfortable. The location was easy to find making it ideal for my quick overnight stop.

The tv in my room did not work properly as it displayed a 'no signal' message. This WAS frustrating.
