Very interesting old building that was used for different purposes before becomming a hotel. Appears to be family owned and run. Owners are very nice and helpful. All staff members were pleasant and gracious. Excellent restaurant, with many tasty choices for dinner and breakfast. Nice bar. Friendly house dog that loves to greet the guests. Convenient location within Castle Douglas. Lots of free parking.

Lovely hotel in Castle Douglas

We loved this hotel. The staff and owners were all so lovely and helpful, giving us some bread so our daughter could feed the same at the nearby loch. The meals were great and the rooms comfortable. Wholly recommended.

Very pleasant stay

David and his team looked after us well, providing a nice comfortable room with good quality beds, a bathroom and towels. Downstairs is the local bar and dining area where a good selection of beers are served. The Kings Arms is located in the central part of Castle Douglas and includes secure parking. We had a nice stay.
