The Hopetoun Arms Hotel

My stay was so good I returned 3 weeks later for another night. Lovely welcome from the owners & staff. Plenty of parking, food really good. The countryside around this hotel is amazing, there are lovely hills behind if you want a great view. If passing close by make a detour to stay here.

We stayed for just one night, breaking a drive up to Scotland. I chose the Hopetoun because of its proximity to the M74 and the excellent reviews. I soon discovered how well deserved the reviews were. Everything about our stay was excellent, the beautiful room (#2), the very good dinner and the stunning cooked Scottish breakfast. The staff were friendly and efficient. The village of Leadmills has an interesting history and is a nice place to stay.

Exceptional Service and a Memorable Celebration! We recently celebrated Grannies 90th birthday at Hopetoun Arms restaurant with a group of eight, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and thoughtful. They accommodated our requests with a smile and ensured that Granny felt truly honored on her special day. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for such an important milestone. We were permitted to bring our own cake for desert too! The team even surprised my grandmother with a special birthday card, which brought a big smile to her face. A huge thank you to the entire staff for making this celebration so memorable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for excellent service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere!

Dont miss this town on your Scotland tour. Beautiful old town in the middle of nowhere. Dead quiet---like you are back in the 1800s---hotel is wonderful---food out of this world--people so friendly---make the trip to Leadhills for a night or two !!

What a lovely, very friendly hotel. We were stuck at the nearest motorway service station as our campervan had broken down. The owner, Rab, picked us up from the service station, as we couldn't get a taxi. Rachel was at the door when we pulled up to welcome us. The room was very comfortable, quiet and roomy. Breakfast was very good, with a good selection of cereals and fruit, along with a cooked breakfast and the coffee was excellent. I would highly recommend this hotel

Our first time using overnight pub parking . Parked our camper van on the hotel car park and enjoyed a delicious meal in the lounge bar, a warm lounge with an open fire with an equally warm reception from the bar staff. Well recommended for future overnight campers.
