Staff so pleasant polite and helpful. Great. Location. Food excellent
All good
The staff were wonderful helpful , cheery a pleasure
Alles sehr unkompliziert. Sehr nettes Personal. Essen im Pub war gut, Pizza ist sehr zu empfehlen und Fleischgerichte. Das Zimmer war sauber. Ok für max. 2 Nächte, wenn man tagsüber unterwegs ist.
Kein privater Parkplatz, wie bei Booking. com beschrieben. War jedoch ok, Es in der Nähe zu parkieren. Frühstück wenig Liebe zum Detail. Die warmen Frühstücksgerichte waren gut, jedoch Arbeiter-Portionen. Im Twin-Room waren die Betten kleiner als an anderen Orten. Für grosse Menschen nicht geeignet. Veggie-Gerichte nicht zu empfehlen, viel Sauce, wenig Gemüse. Preis eher hoch für den Standard.
Great central location, good welcome from very friendly staff, very clean and well equipped room, I really appreciated the secure bike storage in the cellar, good quality good and drink v. reasonably priced. Thanks for a good stay!

The room was very spacious with a nice maintained powerful shower unit and bathroom. Plenty of coffee and tea supplied for extra drinks through the evening. Great space for locking up my bike after a long ride.

Staff very friendly
Room was above kitchen, smell of cooking , heat from cooking and noisy
Fabulous room. Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff. Excellent food in restaurant Well worth price paid overall
Nothing!!
Very good value for money. Room was clean and food was good in bar. Breakfast was basic but well cooked. Serving staff were friendly.
I was not made aware before booking or at the hotel that the noise levels of the music coming from the bar below would be high in the evening and went on until midnight. There was no reception area with dedicated reception staff.
Vocational price, also accept dogs
Nothing nreally
Great stay and excellent evening meal in the Hotel and wonderful choices for breakfast. Room was very clean and spacious.
Liked everything.
Staff good, breakfast very good.
hotel was dated, but value for money.
Central location, car parking. Friendly staff. Comfortable and spacious.
Quite lively entertainment until 12pm (not actually a problem as such for me - was rather fun, just the singer wasn't great. 🤣). Limited vegan breakfast options.
Location
Needs a wee revamp
The location and staff were excellent
We've came here for a good few years now and never been disappointed
Es war alles in Ordnung. Das Zimmer ist absolut sauber, es funktionierte alles einwandfrei. Hervorzuheben ist das wirklich gute Frühstück.
The really friendly and professional staff, the comfy bed, clean towels and shower
Our room on the top floor was very hot overnight despite the fact that the heating did not seem to be on. The cushions and throw on the bed are unnecessary. The coffee machine’s milk tasted weird. The decor is very grey.
The river running along side the hotel beer garden. The village was quaint.
We liked everything
Clean good value friendly and a burger die for
Nothing for the price
Breakfast was great, fab choice. Staff lovely. Great location Big bedroom
The throw on the double bed was dirty
Easy to find, clean room
It was very lively on Saturday night. We were directly above the bar. We agreed to stay up for a drink and were promised the music would be off by midnight. This was what happened. There were people directly outside our window after closing who were hanging around for a while. They weren’t being rude, just a bit merry and noisy.
The Birchtree Hotel was lovely inside and all the staff were very pleasant and friendly. The service was excellent, we had breakfast and evening meal twice and the food was delicious, definitely try the Steak and frites, and the steak open sandwich, my daughter said her breakfast omelette was divine. The hotel was clean and our room was very nice. We stayed in the Murray Grierson twin room, light airy room. Great WiFi connection
The shower area not partitioned from the sleeping area which we found odd.
Staff were exceptionally helpful. Great breakfast!
In room wash hand basin
tutto perfetto

Nice hotel in Dalbeittie.. Confortable beds and delicious breakfast included! The staff is also amazing.
Bella camera
Magari la doccia senza un divisorio per una famiglia non e' l' ideale
Convenient location in the heart of the town. Ample parking nearby in free car park or on side roads. Excellent breakfast and evening meals in the restaurant or downstairs in the cosy bar.
Nothing
It was a good price. Breakfast was included which was ok. It was ideal for our needs which was visiting someone in the area so we weren’t in the room very much.
The room had the shower in the bedroom so no privacy. Also the floor in the room was very uneven which was to be expected in an old building but my older friend struggled with it. Because the beds had been separated into twins we had plug sockets right next to our heads which was weird.
Generally very good, couple bits listed below of main problem was the light as below comments
Thing not liked was in the sweetheart suite, a street light was right outside, so better blinds/fitted ones needed for blackout. Shower definitely acceptable but would of liked, slightly hotter and more powerful.
Nice location convenient parking excellent food stylish hotel with beer garden overlooking river nice bar area with extensive menu and drinks
No complaints
Great area. Very central.
Nothing
Breakfast and dinner were fabulous room was spacious and clean. Staff were amazingly friendly.
Nothing
The staff and service were spectacular. Very friendly, efficient and nothing was too much trouble. The young waiters were chatty, proud and although it was busy, everything ran smoothly enough. The food was wonderful, both dinners and breakfasts were faultless and it’s worth noting that the chef in the morning also has to serve people so we were impressed that both of them managed to do this so well. We managed to catch the last of the civic parade and so the towns atmosphere was high.
La ubicación y había aparcamiento en la calle.
El tamaño de la habitación, muy pequeña, no pudimos dejar las maletas abiertas, no había sitio, teníamos que cerrarlas y dejarlas en pie. Ducha sin privacidad. No hay aire acondicionado.
Stayed here many times. Rooms are clean, and beds r comfy. Breakfast always v good. Location central.
The bar is now over run with youngsters who are drunk and rowdy. Fight in bar. Little to no security. Management need to get a grip on the drunkeness and disorder before people stop staying here.
Great Staff great food
Nothing
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das schottische Frühstück entsprach meinen Erwartungen. Zentrale Lage.
Fällt mir gerade nichts ein.
The staff were excellent very helpful and friendly the hotel was very clean and meals were lovely
Nothing to dislike about the hotel
Room was lovely, very clean, food was great and staff were all friendly and helpful
Would prefer an extra lock on bedroom doors and maybe a couple bottles of water in room
Ate in the hotel at night and the food was good. At breakfast the young chef was very attentive and friendly as well as cooking a great breakfast!

toilet and shower were clean and bed was comfortable
we didnt stay for breakfast. There was no one around at 08h00 and it smelled of stale food
Great location , really friendly and welcoming staff, very clean
Very noisy Friday night with karaoke until late
Nothing special. Birchtree is first a pub than a hotel.

N/a
The entire staff was courteous and helpful in every way. The room was comfortable and housekeeping was always available for anything needed
Breakfast was freshly prepared by Sean and tasty. The room and beds were clean and there was a fan in the wardrobe as well as an iron and board.
Staying on the second floor so lots of stairs. Dinner finished at 8pm so we couldn't get a meal.
Very friendly and welcoming staff. Lovely food and had thee best sleep , I dont sleep but slept like a baby xx
Good location
Kitchen ventilation fan outside bedroom window running until 10.30pm, no good if you want a early night.
Friendly staff and spacious ,clean rooms. We had an evening meal in the restaurant which was very good. Breakfast was tasty and staff were accommodating with adjustment to the menu and again, staff were friendly. We would definitely stay again if visiting the area .
The twin room was very hot and the fan provided wasn't very effective (summer time). .The shower unit is in the bedroom (with opaque doors) .This wasn't a problem for us but maybe not for everyone ! The first night I was kept awake by loud music in the bar downstairs (Friday night) but this finished at midnight and the hotel was very quiet following this. Saturday night...same thing but we joined in this time and had fun with the entertainment ! 😆
Lovely staff comfy room spotlessly clean
Spotlessly clean, quiet and comfortable room. 10/10 for the en suite. Staff very helpful.
Nothing
Wonderful staff, nice location very clean nice to sit outside Love looking in the river
Limited choice for breakfast, reasonable quality but cooked meal only yoghurt pastries, toast cereals, et cetera
Friendly welcoming staff, and lovely room
Great value for money where the staff were super friendly and helpful. Food excellent.
Zero
The Breakfast was cooked to order and delicious. The Evening meal was fantastic, staff where friendly and helpful. Comfortable beds and everything was spotless in the room.
The stair carpet could do with a clean or replacing, a handrail would be good as the stairs are quite steep.
Great food and beer garden. Sports on the TV and a pool and darts area. Rooms were good.
The heat it was a hot room and the provided fan made more noise than actual air movement. The windows couldn't be opened as the river rapids were roaring.
It was nice and modern, very friendly and accommodating. Happy to help with bike and kit. I was travelling by bike so had a fair amount of stuff. Food was really good. Great little outside terrace by the river too
Great food, very helpful staff, friendly bar. Free parking opposite the hotel
Nothing
Ideally placed for us to continue further north. Food is good and the room was excellent. Nice walks nearby - Dalbeattie Town Woods is great.
The bar downstairs really is a highlight. Great staff, great food and drink, and the terrace by the river is beautiful. There was karaoke on when we stayed and we had a brilliant night.
In the twin room the shower was in the bedroom, which was a bit intimate! It was all good though, no real complaints
Friendly staff comfortable bed
Very hot in the room
Nice property by the river. Very pleasant staff. Good food for dinner and breakfast.
Stairs to the room a bit grubby.
The staff were very helpful.
I would have preferred a bit more privacy regarding the design of the bathroom.
Our room was nice and clean, with comfy bed. Nice breakfast (unless you are super hungry, get the small one - it's still a lot to eat!) Most of the staff members were really very nice, helpful, cheerful, which is a nice change from what seems to be the new normal now.
The worst: There is a bar/pub right below the rooms. Which can get quite busy. We were provided earplugs (great) but unfortunately, these don't help against i) loud music (especially the drums/bass line) and ii) drunk people jumping up and down and/or repeatedly hitting things against tables/walls/whatever (which vibrated through the whole building, or so it seemed). If you are sensitive to these things, better go elsewhere. Minor things: The pillows are of the flat, not-that-great variety. There were little signs of wear and tear, nothing big (and still flawlessly clean) but could use a handyman.
Pas touristique et à proximité de castle douglas,riche en commerces et surtout de threave castle pour l'observation des balbuzards. Arrêt parfait pour découvrir les dumfries.
Peut être qu'un espace petit déjeuner avec les chiens pourrait être équipée d'un buffet, éventuellement
Convenient location
Clean
Fab little hotel, great food, great staff, lovely comfortable rooms. Couldnt fault it - well worth a visit
Clean, next to the river, easy to park, great food and lovely staff.
Nothing major- the cups in the room were a bit small for a decent cuppa. One of the rooms was insanely hot.
breakfast was plentiful cereal and cooked brekfast,foom was clean,bar area good and food was very good
room seemed warm overnight
Staff were so friendly and the young chef & his staff were brilliant!
All good!
The decking outside with a telly on the wall ,also very good breakfast and service was good

Hotel was very clean ,all the staff were very friendly and could not do anymore for us. Food was exceptional and very good value for money. Rooms were of a very good and spotless standard exactly like the pictures online will definitely be back.
Our hotel room was really clean, and had everything we needed, including iron board and iron, which still is not that often in hotel rooms.
Our room was above the pub, so it was quite noisy until midnight.
A well equipped room which was clean and functional
Floor in bar rather bouncing and jolted every time someone walked past
The staff were exceptional the food was amazing great value for money could not fault anything room was lovely clean and beds very comfortable
Very acommodating. Clean, comfortable room and bed. Great breakfast. Good location. Friendly and helpful.

Parfait
Really nice staff, let me take my bike in my room. Great restaurant on site
The staff were fantastic and the room facilities were really good as well as the menu at the restaurant. I appreciated the breakfast was included. I think it offers exceptionally good value.
I had asked for a quiet room and unfortunately, I could hear the music from the bar below until nearly midnight. This did impact my sleep even with earplugs.
Food was excellent as were the staff. Room was comfortable
Heating was on which made room rather warm
Room was a great size clean and comfortable. We will use this hotel again in future
