Lindean Guest House is situated in Dumfries. Both free WiFi and private parking are available at the bed and breakfast.

Guest rooms in Lindean Guest House are equipped with a flat-screen TV. The private bathroom is fitted with a shower. All units include a wardrobe.

As usual the hosts, Sally & Ian, were truly exemplary. They offer a traditional or specific breakfast; the common room small frig holds, a yoghurt, juice, etc., if a person feels a need. They even produced an alarm clock for myself, for an early morning to meet 2 trains. We had a couple of chats, as they had met and enjoyed the company of my cousin, who was not well. The rooms and the whole entity are so clean that a nurse could not find fault. Everything has been modernized (ie a vanity mirror that is magically lighted!!!). I would say that they run a 'tight ship', but with humour and kindness at the fore.

Woodland House hotel is a grade B listed Georgian mansion on the edge of the market town of Dumfries. Set amongst a secluded rural landscape the family-run hotel offers free private on-site parking.

Bedrooms at the hotel are spacious and fitted with bespoke hardwood furniture. The en suite tiled bathrooms are large in size and contemporary in design.

Cameron and Danny are great hosts who have paid a lot of attention to little details that make a big difference. They are thoughtful and anticipate their guest's needs before you even know them yourself. The garden is beautiful. It is walking distance from everything and they have ample comfortable parking. The beds are the most comfortable I have come across in bnb or inns. Breakfast was tasty and ample.

    Great location within easy walking distance to the riverside and town centre. Good parking right outside the window and a quiet cul-de-sac. Liked the kitchen and the fact that the host left some breakfast items and condiments, so could make a coffee immediately upon arrival.

    Feels more like a luxury boutique hotel than a guest house. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The room had everything one could ask for and it was very cosy. The breakfast was delicious and there was a wide selection of different food options. The place is located close to the railway station and a walk to the town centre will only take about 5 minutes. I'll happily rebook it if I ever visit Dumfries again.

    Great hosts, great location - Guests stayed for work, felt well looked after and rested for each shift when getting back on site. I'd recommend to book with the owners of the hotel directly for any upcoming visits in Dumfries :)
