What guests think
At Solway Lodge Hotel, travellers repeatedly praise the friendly, helpful team, generally clean and comfortable rooms (including annex/chalet options), and a convenient location for stopovers and shopping trips, with good value reported by several guests.
Room quality varies from recently refurbished to more dated, and Wi-Fi is repeatedly reported as weak or unavailable in some rooms. Food and breakfast receive consistent praise for quality and portions, though a few guests noted basic options or occasional delays when the restaurant was busy. The dog-friendly setup is appreciated by many, but it may not suit travellers who prefer pet-free spaces. Overall, expect a straightforward, comfortable stopover.

Stayed here while up on business. Room was clean, had everything I needed, tea - coffee making facilities - biscuits - soaps - shampoos - a hairdryer. Not the largest of rooms but more than adequate. Staff are great - all very friendly from the time I checked in to the time I checked out, from reception to the food / bar staff. I ate in the bar - their menu is excellent! I went for Balmoral Chicken, a winner in my eyes. (Chicken breast stuffed with freshly caught Haggis, wrapped in bacon and Peppercorn sauce.) Bar is light and roomy, plenty of beers to choose from and of course plenty of Whisky too. I'll be back

Staff were great when you could find them. Very friendly. Very dog friendly encourage you to take dogs in the bar. Dogs get a sausage each for you to take out to them after breakfast. Food was lovely. Bed not comfortable. We had very noisy neighbours next door carried on until early morning so didn't get much sleep.

I have never stayed anywhere as bad. The so called room was what looked like a converted stable. It was cold, smelly and dirty, I had to clean the toilet seat before I could use it. The carpets are filthy and the place stunk of dogs. Sleeping was impossible due to 3 dogs in the next room, more like a kennel than a hotel. The pub is unwelcoming and we were expected to have our evening meal next to the bar on a tiny bar table. We left and had a takeaway instead. We didn’t go for breakfast after seeing what we did the night before so can’t comment on that. I understand it was nye but if you are accepting guests you really should ensure you can cater for them. I understand it is a dog friendly hotel but expecting guests to dine with dogs on the floor and sleep in poorly insulated rooms with 3 dogs in one room next door is pathetic and no excuse for the cleanliness. An absolute horrible place and I pity anyone expecting to enjoy a wedding in this place. Pathetic and disgusting and I don’t know how companies like Expedia can advertise places like this.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Only problems were that we had booked for four nights and requested a ground floor room. It would appear that the hotel were only given a booking for three and no request for a ground floor room. Despite this the hotel accommodated us for four nights. There seems to have been a breakdown in communication between Hotels.com and the hotel. All credit to the hotel for their hospitality. We were made very welcome by all the staff.

We could see the sea in the distance but over the roof of the hotel. Warm welcome. Small but comfortable room. Bacon was too hard at breakfast. In the restaurant at night we were sat beside a deciding door with a draft and door which banged when people went through it. Told staff we needed to move and they were so helpful and moved us. There shouldn’t be a table there. Everyone was lovely and welcoming. Close to shops and town centre.

We stayed there for dinner, couldn't fault the service or the meal, I had a sirlion steak and my wife had balmoral chicken. both were very nice. Breakfast next day had a choice of cereals and porridge, fruit and various fruit juices and a full scottish breakfast. service was great. The girl behind the bar was very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. If i am in the area again, I will go back to the Solway Lodge.

Staff are great - all very friendly from the time I checked in to the time I checked out, from reception to the food / bar staff. I ate in the bar - their menu is excellent! I went for Balmoral Chicken, a winner in my eyes. (Chicken breast stuffed with freshly caught Haggis, wrapped in bacon and Peppercorn sauce.) Bar is light and roomy, plenty of beers to choose from and of course plenty of Whisky too. I'll be back
Stayed here while up on business. Room was clean, had everything I needed, tea - coffee making facilities - biscuits - soaps - shampoos - a hairdryer. Not the largest of rooms but more than adequate.

We could see the sea in the distance but over the roof of the hotel. Warm welcome. Small but comfortable room. Bacon was too hard at breakfast. In the restaurant at night we were sat beside a deciding door with a draft and door which banged when people went through it. Told staff we needed to move and they were so helpful and moved us. There shouldn’t be a table there. Everyone was lovely and welcoming. Close to shops and town centre.

We stayed for 1 night with our dogs in a room in the annex building. The room was a decent size but the radiator didn't work and there was a piece of paper stuck on the hairdryer saying do not use. The bed and pillows weren't the comfiest. Breakfast was included and there was a good choice but the toast was burnt and the quality of the food was mediocre.
