Dryfesdale Hotel, BW Signature Collection

Used this hotel for our wedding and it didn't disappoint. Absolutely beautiful inside and out and photos really don't do it justice. Made us and our guests feel really welcome and will definitely go back in the future. Special mention to the actual room, me and my bride had to bring the kids with us so the hotel provided a bridal suite with an adjoining double room for the kids, providing us privacy and yet keeping the kids in close proximity.

AVOID HAVING A WEDDING! . The hotel and grounds itself absolutely stunning , our rooms WE had stunning however for the customer service from the manager and the staff … disgusting. Completely ruined my mother’s wedding , very rude and controlling, would not listen to a word you said … walking to her husband to be (meant to be the most speak part him seeing you for the first time ) was completely ruined because he would not let us speak “I’ve done this for 20yrs” the song hadn’t even started and she was at the end, no song during the signing the register, couldn’t get it on ?? . Plastic found in a guest soup?! , staff barely smiled , no bar whilst the bride gets ready for wedding at 2pm , no bar in the function room, no music in the bar room whilst people waiting for the sit down meal - had to use our own speaker?! . The night time buffet- 🙈 served on teacup saucers 😂, thrown on table chips , sausage rolls and sandwiches from Asda £250 for 20 people ?? Other Guest arrived by couch who started to try and access our rooms and encourage our children to kiss so they can take pictures to which the manager spoke to them about then fled the hotel ? Before my mother’s wedding she tired to discuss the final bill which he refused to give her and then bang £600 onto of the original price . I won’t keep going on , like I said beautiful hotel but GLEN needs some training in customer service and the importance of that special day

Very pleasant small hotel with very good food rivalling 4* hotels. Excellent bathroom with a shower that stays where it was put and plenty of hot water. Very comfortable bed and bedding. Helpful and pleasant staff. Take a look at the Lockerbie Pan-Am disaster memorial.

No active restaurant No restaurant available due to ‘Annual gas check’. This was not notified or pre-warned.

OYO Dryfesdale - Oh Why Oh why did we select this dreary, unloved and inhospitable hotel for the base for my daughter’s wedding. Luckily the wedding service was superb, but the happiness of the day was neatly offset by the belligerent, impatient and disinterested owner of the hotel, tired room and generally inedible food served at the wedding reception– questionable interpretation of edible steak/cheesecake/terrine of chicken, cases in point and not exhaustive. Strangely, the food served the previous evening was nice. Thinking there is a staffing issue here, namely a cook. Probably OK for an overnight stay for a touring guests, providing their bar is set low. I understand, from previous negative reviews, that the owner responds with counter complaints about his guests. So I expected the same when we forwarded our views to Best Western, to which this dire establishment is affiliated. Yep, he didn’t disappoint – apparently he showed great restraint in coping with some ‘unfortunate events as a result of our party’s behaviour’. Mmmmm – what would that be exactly: My daughter choking on a piece of food where the owner’s reaction was ‘did she choke on the confetti?’. Perhaps when we asked for our dinner tables to be put together for the pre wedding meal and they ended up at either end of the restaurant. The list goes on. And – has anyone ever heard of a hotel that does not have a facility of a reception room that guests can relax after a long journey (7 hours in our case). Instead, being sent away to the nearest town for an hour? I travel a lot – I have never experienced such a cavalier attitude. The other wedding party at the hotel echoed our experiences with this hotel and more specifically with the owner’s attitude. I would imagine the owner of this establishment will respond to this review with his own spurious allegations. That’s if he has time as he seems more interested in running his other hotels – hopefully with a little more care than he does the Dryfesdale. He can be assured that we will ignore any of his comments and I would advise anyone reading reviews does so also.

Booked Superior Twin room in this 4* Hotel and that was what this hotel charged us for. However, on the morning of travel we were diverted to an uncomfortable room in a very much inferior 3* sister hotel.
