Fodor's Expert Review Holiday Inn
Bankend Rd., Dumfries, Dumfries and Galloway, DG1 4ZZ, Scotland
With the secluded feel of a country hotel, this modern and very comfortable Holiday Inn is less than 2 miles from the center of Dumfries. It is set in the Crichton Estate (owned by the University of the West of Scotland), with lush plantings, rock gardens, and elegant Victorian buildings. Rooms are spacious and comfortable, and all have views of the surrounding lawns and gardens. There are also large and comfortable lounges and bars where you can relax. The restaurant serves dinner, while the brasserie offers food throughout the day. The hotel can organize golfing excursions.
