Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Fabulous room. Lovely hotel inside (could use a bit of TLC on outside, but I'm sure the group will sort this). We didn't have lunch/dinner, but enjoyed a lovely meal at a private function and very much enjoyed our breakfasts over two days. The staff were very helpful whenever we asked for anything. My wife remarked on how clean the place was (dust free was the term she used). Lovely grounds and far enough away from busy road to be quiet. All in all, very enjoyable stay and would stay there again when I'm in the area.

We stayed at Hetland Hall for one night on our way south, the hotel and grounds are lovely. We checked in and were informed that we'd been allocated a 2nd floor room and there is no lift in the hotel, I'm nearly 70 but there was no offer of a porter to take the case upstairs for us whilst checking in, The room was lovely and the bar and restaurant were both excellent, great food and excellent waiting staff. The breakfast in the morning was first class and again the staff great. The only low light was check in, so if you have an issue with carrying a heavy suitcase up multiple flights of stairs ask for a ground floor room.

Lovely old building. Very quiet at night. Room was fairly spacious on second floor (no lift. Anyone with mobility issues would struggle) with black out blind. Dinner excellent. Great, helpful, approachable staff. No fridge or safe in rooms which we found unusual in a 4 star. Room was stifling, even with heating off, duvet far too heavy. Didn't sleep well whole time we were there. Indifferent breakfast with few choices. Buffet was very lacking in choice. Stayed in Dumfries to visit family nearby. It would be lovely in nice weather.

Very nice hotel, beautiful interior and well kept and clean. Superior room was lovely and very spacious. Nice welcome pack of tea, coffee and biscuits. Replenished daily and I got extra tea and milk no problem. Beautiful views. Lovely surroundings and a nice play area for children. Nice for walks. Good parking available and it is for electric vehicles too. Food was lovely and great choices for hot and cold continental breakfast. Evening meals are also good and caters for all budgets and a great choice. Our only issue was with rowdy adults who let their children run riot to the early hours of the morning. They were part of a wedding party that were staying and having their function and catering there. I did notify the receptionist on our check out. There had been a few complaints. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.

I usually stay at Hetland Hall because it is located a bit off and it is quiet. This time though, not so much! There was a wedding reception (on a Tuesday) and I was for some reason given a room just over the ballroom. Extremely loud music until the middle of the night made sleeping impossible. I wasn't informed that there was a party that night and I can't understand why I wasn't given a room in some other part of the hotel. Simply unacceptable.

We loved our stay at Hetland Hall . The staff are very friendly and polite . The only drawback was the view from our room , unfortunately we had a small wall in front of the window.We were on the second floor and the wall spoiled it for us . We would go back but would want to avoid that room

Hetland Hall is an impressive building located in beautiful grounds. Check in was extremely welcoming and this was symptomatic of service throughout our stay. Our room was large, clean and comfortable. The decor is, though, a little bling for my taste . I was disappointed that the Netflix button on the TV remote did not in fact result in bringing up Netflix! That said everything else in the room worked. The bathroom was spotless and the watering can shower was fantastic (although no shelving for washbag etc). The main factor that disappointed was the food offering - both at dinner and breakfast. Same issue with each - portion size was very meagre and at breakfast the scrambled eggs and black pudding (as well as being very meagre) were massively overdone to the point of being inedible. They also got my breakfast order wrong. No checked at dinner or breakfast of everything was ok. If the hotel can sort out portion size and cooking then it's going to be a winner.
