Mains Street Retreat

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We absolutely loved our stay! The warm and welcoming hosts made us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The apartment is beautifully decorated, cosy, and thoughtfully designed. The kitchen was exceptionally well stocked with everything we could possibly need, including a full range of utensils, which made our stay so convenient. Another big plus was having Morrisons just a few steps away—so handy for picking up anything we needed. A lovely, comfortable stay with wonderful hospitality. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it!

Good location, just off the motorway and within walking distance of the town centre, train station and a big Tesco supermarket. Friendly owner. Good amount of space - separate front room and bedroom. Plenty of utensils, plates etc in the kitchen.

Parking is on-street only, so cannot be reserved and isn't as safe as a private driveway. No washing machine or dishwasher, so for longer stays it would be necessary to find a laundrette nearby. Apartment is accessed via stairs, so unsuitable for infirm and/or wheelchair users. Kitchen items/area could do with a deeper clean - I imagine this relies a bit on previous visitors doing the dishes to a good standard - a dishwasher would solve this problem.

Very cosy, clean and comfortable. Lovely hosts who were very informative and on hand to help with any enquiries. Perfect location. Parking outside the property.

Small step at top of stairs (I fell over twice!)

The apartment was lovely and very clean. We loved the treats left for us and the location was very central. We wished we were staying for more than one night!

Nothing not to like

The host was amazing

The town is a little run down

Everything was great. Extremely clean.

Nothing.

A beautiful old house done up very tastefully. Lots of lovely personal touches, smelt beautiful, homely decorated with chocolates and biscuits on arrival. The kitchen had lots of food supplies as well as fresh milk and eggs in the fridge! Plus the best Chinese food we have had in a long time about a 50 metre walk....

Maybe the stairs for our large luggage but understand you wont get this type of old building on the ground.

Lovely clean, attractive apartment with lots of thoughtful extras to make it something special. Super comfy bed, excellent shower and well equipped kitchen - also parking right putside the door. Very welcoming host.

Nothing

Very cosy and clean, human and doggy treats were a lovely touch. Perfect place to stop on our Scotland road trip

L'accueil parfait avec les conseils sur les visites, les explications sur les utilisations des matériels, la fourniture du petit déjeuner (café, thé, lait, œufs, et autres douceurs écossaises !),la belle rénovation de l'appartement, les équipements, la proximité du centre ville et du supermarché. Facilité de parking juste sous les fenêtres.

Friendly and helpful welcome. Great lounge / kitchenette area.

Everything we needed. Warm welcome.

Access via fairly steep stairs

The apartment was kept to a high standard, very clean, well equipped with board games to play, a smart TV with a guest Netflix account, small but perfectly formed kitchen, a comfortable, warm bed, as well as some toiletries in the shower, and various sweets and breakfast items to happily snack on.

I can honestly say there wasn't a single thing I disliked about this property, or my stay there.

The hosts were great, they thought of everything you'd need.

Nothing

Tina is very flexible with key pick up and is always there to greet you

Nothing - a wonderful stay

Friendly hosts. Very comfortable beds, beautiful linen and super soft towels. Close to amenities. Great for pets and children - dog treats, enclosed garden, dog blankies/towels, food and water bowls. Lovely places for walkies. Games, colouring, children's cutlery, plates etc. All the added extras made our stay feel very special! Thank you 🙂

Nothing.

Everything was great, it was cosy and we had everything we needed for our two night stay. Linda was lovely and the supermarket and take aways were only a few minutes walk away.

Owner met me at the front door

Absolutely fantastic wee place! Very clean, loved the eggs left for the morning! The wee touches made a lovely stay even better. Both my family and my in laws stayed here over the span of two weeks and both families said how fabulous the host Tina was. Highly highly recommend and we can’t wait to book the family in again! They’ve all said they won’t stay in Lockerbie if they can’t book in here!!

Lovely place,clean comfy and quiet,ideal location with easy access to local amenities

Nothing

Beautiful cosy apartment with everything you could possibly need to make the stay comfortable, Tina and Scott went out of their way to make me welcome. The conversion of this property from a former 6 bedroom B&B to a family home with a self-contained apartment has been very cleverly planned and executed. The shared garden at the back is beautiful.

Nothing. This is a first floor apartment accessed up a steep staircase which I know that some would find challenging.

Everything was exceptional,and the host is so welcoming and friendly. Couldn't be better

nothing!

Everything!!

Friendly and helpful host lovely well maintained property plus all the little extra touches to make it feel like home from home.

Could'nt find a single fault.

Place was spotless. The Hostess took time to show us round and made sure we knew where everything was which was brilliant. We got info about the town which was very helpful as well. The apartment has everything you could need for a short stay, was perfect.

Lovely, cosy, modern and very clean. Also had everything you could need.

El apartamento estaba perfecto, limpio, cómodo y con chocolates de bienvenida.

The apartment was absolutely perfect and you could tell that the owner really cared about it,and her guests. Best host we've had on booking com ever!

All good

Super friendly hosts, great flat and in a perfect location for us. Flat is spotless and comes with everything you may need.

Nothing. This was my second visit, and booked up for next year already.

Ottimo pernottamento in questo accogliente appartamento, pulizia e disponibilità hanno reso questo nostro primo soggiorno in Scozia veramente gradevole Grazie

More than we expected, very friendly host, beautiful flat, some very nice touches, real coffee, and much more. Thanks Tina.

Nothing to say, it was great

The location was convenient for our wedding reception at Springkell

Came back late and didn't have a torch and couldn't remember the light location.

Lovely well equipped apartment. Lockerbie is a lovely little town and well worth a stop ir visit. Very friendly and helpful owners. Good wifi and streaming services.

Though there is a (very large) sofa bed, the apartment is probably best suited to a couple as only one toilet and bathroom, which can only be accessed from the main bedroom

The apartment was all that we needed and more. The host was very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The perfect place for an overnight stay whilst on our way to the Outer Hebrides

Spotlessly clean. Lovely little touches - host really has thought of everything.

This place is immaculate! The hosts do a great job of keeping the apartment absolutely gleaming, and it has everything you need for a short stay. It’s very well located - walking distance to the train station, a big Tesco, pubs and takeaways - but it is still peaceful. Tina made us very welcome when we arrived, leaving tea & coffee for us, plus milk and eggs in the fridge, and even treats and a ball for my friend’s dog. Oh, and there were treats for humans too, in the form of some gorgeous buttery shortbread biscuits and chocolates. My friend had the sofa bed, which is enormous! There’s a super-thick mattress topper that fits on it and it was declared the most comfortable sofa bed ever. It is the thoughtfulness and attention to detail that really sets the Retreat apart. Highly recommended if you need a place to stay in Lockerbie. We were in the area for a wedding in Gretna, and it is very convenient, as it only takes 15 to 20 minutes to get there. The entire region is really beautiful and well worth a visit.

Nothing!

The host Tina was very friendly and welcoming.Tina very kindly provided a secure place for us to store our bikes. The apartment was clean and comfortable.

Lockerbie didn't have the most variety in terms of places to eat but the apartment had good cooking facilities and supermarket nearby so was not a problem.

Lovely space and great host!

Loved it all and the welcome was great!

The location and accommodation was perfect for me very cheerful owner liked the welcome touch of goodies plus helpful items in fridge the flat was immaculate and very comfortable could not find a fault, extremely happy with whole experience.

The hosts were amazing and nothing was overlooked or too much trouble. So nice to have all the essentials that your used to at home which are often not there.

Well furnished. Everything one needed to self cater. Cosy.

Everything! Wow Tina met us on arrival, and we couldn't have asked for a warmer welcome. We were delayed arriving, and Tina was so welcoming. Property was beautifully clean and amazing. Can't wait to come back. Brilliant value for money with everything you could need, even fresh milk in the fridge. Have to say one of the best places I have stayed.

Nothing, everything was great

The apartment was lovely. It had everything you could want. It was immaculate with an extremely comfortable couch and bed. Tastefully decorated with lovely touches like goody bag for fur babies plus milk, eggs, cereals etc for humans. I would definitely stay here again/recommend to others.

There wasn’t anything apart from it being a bit cold when sat watching tv. Fine through the night though.

It was nice to meet Tina when I went to collect my key, so much better than getting it from a key-safe, and she showed me around the apartment. As with places of this quality, I always feel it's a bit wasted on me, as it would be perfect for guests who are visiting the area for leisure. The apartment is tastefully decorated, with everything you'll need for a stay away. There is plenty of room with a large living room, the bedroom is lovely and the bed is very comfortable. The bathroom is very modern, with a very powerful shower. The milk and eggs were a great touch, as were the sweets and biscuits, which were soon devoured. There's a Tesco within walking distance, parking outside is easy, and the area is very quiet. I'll definitely book again.

Nothing to say here - I loved it.

everything was first class

that there wasn't another toilet

Loved everything about the apartment, went on the coldest night of the year so far place was so warm and cosy, our hosts were so friendly and helpful, whole experience was exceptional, highly recommended

I liked the thought that was put in to all the details which helped add up to it feeling very welcoming and homely.

The mains street retreat is like a home away from home, Tina has thought of everything to make the stay as comfortable as possible. The apartment was warm, cosy and clean. We were particularly impressed by how well the children were catered for as well. We wished we were staying longer.

Nothing.

Very comfortable with great facilities, lovely host who provided some thoughtful treats for both us and the dog.

Nothing

I was utterly blown away by the attention to detail the hosts had put into what a guest might need. Snack, milk, eggs, cereal, real coffee, tea bags and more. It’s the cleanest, best decorated place I have stayed in for many, many years.

Only that I wasn’t staying longer.

Great little apartment, had everything we needed for our stop over, bedroom was a good size with a little ensuite, the living room was spacious with a smart TV and the little kitchen had everything we needed. The host was very welcoming and even left some little treats for when we arrived!

The access is a little restricted since it's upstairs

Lovely place , so clean and such comfy bed . We would certainly stay again

Nothing to dislike

Cosy, comfy and exceptionally clean

The stop was just off the M74 so easy to find and start your journey the next day. Having breakfast items in the cupboards and fridge (cereals, tea, milk, eggs) was completely unexpected. The host made the property accommodating for humans and dogs alike. There were dog treats, food and water bowls and plenty of dog throws for the furniture. There was a lovely selection of toys for our daughter as well as little chocolates, shortbread and plastic plates, bowls and cups makes life so much easier. We didn't use the outside facilities however you get a good view from the bedroom window, the garden is immaculate with plenty of room for your dog to play and do business. Honestly can't remember the last time I stayed in a such a well equipped property. You can tell the owners took pride in choosing the decor, furniture and soft furnishings. Will definitely be stopping again.

Loved everything about this gorgeous homely retreat . Tina and Simon are amazing hosts, Laddie and I truly did not want to leave 🥹 Had everything you could possibly need , and more . At a fantastic price. We will most certainly be back , it felt like being home 💙🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Nothing at all

Fab accommodation on our way to the Isle of Lewis. Hosts were fab and very accommodating and made us very welcome. Excellent facilities and had everything we need and the biscuits and chocolate was a lovely touch. Definitely recommend and will be back next year if we visit Scotland again!! Thank you so much!

Everything was perfect so nothing!!

Lovely hosts, very welcoming. Good clean facilities, perfect stop over on way to Glasgow airport

Lovely property! Beautifully decorated, very clean, and the hosts were really friendly and helpful.

The stay here was brilliant. It had everything that we needed for our 4 night stay. It was really quiet at night and Tina and Simon helped us out with information and recommended places to go. We stayed in Lockerbie as we went to a wedding in Springkell. It was about 20 minutes drive away so is really easy to reach.

Nothing

Absolutely beautiful, like a home from home, they accommodated my dog and the finishing touches were superb

I love love loved this place! From my initial booking to our stay everything was handled perfectly. I feel I messed the owners around as I didn’t know my arrival time until last minute and then I changed I was coming with my kids to I was coming with my husband. All of this was taken in their stride by the owners and nothing was a problem. The property was ready for us in advance of our arrival time so I made my way along to collect the key and get a look around with Tina the owner. Wow. What an impressive space. Such a beautiful home from home feeling - comfortable and cosy with lots of bits and pieces to make our stay first class. From toiletries in the shower and everything you needed to wash up to eggs, milk, a breakfast selection, coffee and treats. So appreciated. Especially given we were only there for one night. Super comfortable bed. Very quiet and peaceful. Great to be able to watch tv whilst I wound down.

To be fair nothing! My only regret is as we were attending an event in Lockerbie that we didn’t get longer to enjoy our surroundings. I’d definitely return!

Lovely homely apartment, the hosts were very welcoming and the welcome treats for us and our dog was a lovely touch, fantastic, will definitely be back

Very clean, in fact , immaculate.

Everything about this booking was faultless. Thoroughly recommended to all.

Comfortable, clean, well equipped & conveniently located. The host was friendly & helpful
