Douglas House

Great location and warm welcome from Kate

Location and staff

Nothing all was good

Host was lovely, parking was actually easy but not sure how it would be at the height of summer because it's parking on the street. We upgraded our room and it was just lovely, spacious and so comfortable, breakfast was very good - we loved Bart the cat :)

Heating went off on the second day which made it too cold for us! But a heater was brought in so that was fine

Breakfast was lovely and the host was very attentive

Nothing

A lovely, homely feel to the property with good facilities. It was spotlessly clean and Kate, the host was lovely

Nothing

Everything. It was cozy, comfortable and welcoming.

Nothing. Everything was great

The whole of the small B&B was beautifully decorated, cosy, and welcoming. Kate, the owner, was helpful and friendly but not intrusive. She was also a good cook as breakfast was lovely. Very close to the centre of town and to a variety of different restaurants for dinner. Rooms and bed were comfortable and well appointed. Great stopover on the way south. Highly recommended.

There was nothing.

My single room was small but perfectly formed. I enjoyed all aspects of my stay including a great breakfast. Property was clean and comfortable throughout and had a nice, relaxed vibe

N/A

Lovely house, absolutely immaculate inside, especially the bathroom. King size bed was so comfortable. Ideally situated for bars and restaurants, and as a base for exploring the local area. Breakfasts were tremendous and prepared with local produce. Haddock and poached egg was a delight. Host couldn't have been any more helpful. Thoroughly recommend Douglas House.

Nice clean room excellent breakfast

Very nice B&B. Good facilities and great breakfast

Road noise at front of building

Kate was super welcoming, and helpful for first-time visitors. The rooms were great, clean, with everything you'd need. Breakfast was fabulous. I would recommend it.

Very nice comfortable b & b. Kate the owner very friendly, breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice and well presented. Room perfect.

No complaint at all.

Great host, fabulous location and extremely flexible with our breakfast timing

Douglas House is a lovely B&B run by the equally lovely Kate and her sidekick Bart (a most gorgeous pussycat!). Our room was very clean, large, nicely decorated with a very comfortable bed and two cosy chairs. The en-suite was a good size with a great shower and nice toiletries. Kate leaves a fine selection of drinks in the room including tea, coffee, fruit teas, herbal teas and hot chocolate plus caramel wafers. The breakfast Kate provides is top notch using local ingredients and one of the best we have had anywhere. It would be impossible to rate our stay at Douglas House as anything less than 10/10 and we highly recommend.

Nothing not to like!

Clean room and friendly host. Great location!

Breakfast was very good.

The breakfast was welcoming and everything we expected. The host was exceptionally friendly. We enjoyed our stay at this guest house.

Nothing could have been better.

Beautiful B&B, very cosy, exceptionally clean, lovely and would certainly come back!

Breakfast was wonderful. Great location. Host was very friendly.

Room could have been a little bigger.

Very clean and well kept.

We have stayed in many places and this was way up there at the top. Kate the owner is a lovely welcoming lady, her BB is immaculately clean in every area and she must be proud with her achievements. Beautifully decorated throughout and really tasty and well cooked breakfast with a choice. Easy access to town and some really good eateries. Thankyou Kate, we will be back

The single room was small but excellently laid out. Great shower and toilet. Breakfast was delicious. Kate is a lovely person, welcoming, friendly.

It was a bit of a tight squeeze to get from the bed to the bsthroom.

Location was good, easy walk to places to eat. Friendly host. Love the resident cat

The bed was uncomfortable, one side was beat down so badly I literally rolled out of bed during the night. Breakfast was acceptable but was very slow, with only 3 rooms occupied waiting 30 minutes for the coffee was just too long. Also, the water pressure was dismal in room 3 and was unable to control the temperature as there was no control/thermostat in the room

The host Kate was really welcoming and Douglas House is well looked after. The room was comfortable and had a good selection of hot drinks and biscuits. We had great breakfasts on both days with a wide selection available. The communal area was nice with plenty of information about the local area.

The staff were outstanding, especially Kate. Wonderful people and fantastic place. Very welcoming.

We booked at very short notice, just needed to get away for a couple of days, and we had no requirements beyond a comfortable room and breakfast. This exceeded our expectations in every way. Our host was very friendly and helpful, even when we managed to mislay the keys to the room, we found them again but that was embarrassing. Altogether highly recommended.

We had no problems whatsoever. There is nothing that we would change.

The breakfast was specific to our requirements. The location was perfect for us to visit the castles and places we were hoping to visit.

Both rooms together would have been preferable but the rooms were superb and especially room 1 which was huge with an amazing bathroom

Breakfast was delicious . Location perfect - very central.

Good selection of breakfast items

No complaints

Very friendly and welcoming owner. Almost as friendly and welcoming as her cat, Bart! He has to inspect and greet all new arrivals. Breakfast was pretty good too.

Nothing

Our host took into account our dietary requirements very well. We also enjoyed the wide choice for breakfast including local specialities. Breakfast was freshly made - not something that can be enjoyed at the chain hotels!

It was all good!

More like staying at a friends' place than a B&B. Lots of nice touches, tissues, body lotion etc. etc. Kate is an excellent host and I felt very welcome. There is an excellent Scottish inspired breakfast menu, I finally opted for smoked haddock and haggis, both delicious. Bart, the playful young cat, was entertaining and made the place seem even more homely! Would definitely stay again if in Castle Douglas!

Really lovely host. ,(owner run). Perfect individual breakfast.

Kate was such a lovely host. The house was spotlessly clean, great breakfast and the bedroom very comfortable and pretty. The location was within easy walking distance to the Main Street of restaurants & shops.

Lovely comfortable room

The large bath. Comfortable warm room Lovely brekkie

Kate, the owner, was both friendly and helpful. She was very welcoming from the moment I arrived until I departed. The breakfast she provided each morning was both tasty and filling. The whole property was immaculately clean, tidy and very well presented. The tea and coffee provided in the bedroom was very good; the en suite shower room was extremely well provided with toiletries and towels.

Nothing! The whole place exceeded my expectations.

Our favourite b&b, best in castle Douglas. Wouldn't stay anywhere now. The rooms are so clean and comfy. The home cooked breakfast was delicious

The only thing is the water pressure in the shower but otherwise I wouldn't complain.

Castle Douglas is a very pleasant typically Scottish small town, free of tourist crowds and quietly prosperous.

Super place with very friendly and helpful owner, single room was small but had everything i needed at a very reasonable price, what more could you want for an overnight stay. Well done to the owner for a very nice set up.

Well presented Scottish breakfast

Nothing

Really close to the loch and a 15-20min drive to lots of nearby bays.

Friendly welcome from Kate and bike stored safely. I stayed in a single room which was perfect for 1 night and really good value for money. Kate recommended a superb local restaurant and honestly the food was delicious (Nicos). Excellent breakfast

Warm, clean, quiet and cozy room,really comfortable bed and quality bedding. Brilliant power shower. Lovely breakfast. And all provided by friendly kind staff. Highly recommended. The location was perfect, a mere 3 minute walk to the high street with enough quality restaurants to choose from.

Nothing.

Great breakfast, great staff, good location

Parking was street parking

Great location and host was really nice 👍

Nothing

Our hostess was a lovely lovely lady. She always had a smile on her face. And we were always laughing at breakfast. The breakfast was amazing. She makes the best scrambled egg I've ever had. Nothing was a bother for her. I would highly recommend this place. I will be back

Lovely room, comfy bed, gorgeous bathroom and lovely host.

Nothing

Breakfasts brilliant. Location in centre of town excellent. Nice comfy room.

Pity there were roadworks going on. No fault of the kind hostess of course.

The owner host was fantastic, friendly and has a wonderful place. Each of the four rooms in the home had their own modern bathroom. Three rooms had large beds, and one had a single bed. We had a room on the first floor which was the largest of the four rooms.

The location was easy to find and parking was simple and close. The only downside was the house was located on a corner with no yard. There was no exceptional view from the room. Just street and other homes

Lovely and clean, great breakfast, really nice friendly atmosphere

Nothing

Delicious breakfast

Room was small, but very clean and functional.

Warm welcome from Kate - 3 night stay - room at the back overlooking the garden - comfy large bed - smallish TV - adequate shower - on-street car parking - no problem getting spaces - short walk to the centre and restaurants - Nikko's and Market Inn Hotel - our faves - great breakfasts - lots of choice - local producers - eggs poached to perfection - all in all a very enjoyable stay and we would have no hesitation re-booking as it ticked all our boxes

The weather

Friendly. Lovely bedrooms and bathrooms.

Didn't stay longer.

Beautifully decorated room, bathroom spacious. All spotlessly clean. The breakfast was lovely and our host Kate is very friendly. Location was perfect for us to meet our friends who live in this very scenic area of Scotland.

Nothing!

Modern attractive room with a good location...breakfast super. I will use this again.

I said I would arrive between 7 and 8pm. I arrived at 7.05. The host told me off for not arriving on time - even though i was - and then moaned about other guests being late. Then at breakfast I felt I was very limited and not allowed by the host to choose what I wanted .

We arrived early at Douglas House but that was not a problem, our host Kate was very welcoming and friendly and did not mind us being early. Our room was very clean and comfortable, the breakfast was very good. The location was ideal for visiting relatives in the town. The only downside was the lack of private parking. Would definitely recommend Douglas House to friends and family and would love to come and stay again.

Would have been five stars if there had been safe secure parking.

Very friendly owner, she also presented an excellent breakfast. The rooms were beautifully decorated, with very comfortable beds.

The owner, Kate, was absolutely lovely and made my stay perfect. The breakfasts had so much choice and Kate provided me with Oatmilk for my coffee. The Scottish smoked salmon with scrambled egg was excellent. Room had everything you could need and all clean. Easy free car parking right outside.

Kate was wonderful. Place very fine.

Nothing.... It was lovely
