John
A wonderful old style hotel friendly staff. Traditional not modern but all the better for it. Initial impressions did not do it justice as once we had settled in the place became more ideal and welcoming. Will come again when next passing despite being slightly of track. Thoroughly recommended
Ruth
Staff helpful and friendly and room clean and nice bedding etc , unfortunately the mattress was very poor and the springs were uncomfortable all night . I discussed this in the morning and hopefully it will be addressed
Sally
Great! Second time in this hotel, Rab and Rachel are great host, everything was perfect, Will be returning.
Maureen
Wonderful time
Yes it was extremely pet friendly
Jeremy
People were lovely. Building was lovely. Unfortunately as we were taken to our room we were told not to use the bath as it doesn’t work. The tv also worked intermittently which they knew about. So we paid full price for a room they knew had issues?! That aside, cleanliness was pretty poor and the bed mattress had seen better days.
But the staff were really nice.

What a lovely hotel! Very okey-worldly, lovely people, and excellent food and very dog friendly, even a sausage for the pup at breakfast!

Average hotel, staff were friendly. Shortened evening menu, no haggis neeps and tatties!
They forgot one of the three dinners we ordered so when it eventually came the other two had finished.
Bed was uncomfortable.
Breakfast was good with plenty of choice.
Our dog was bought water and sausages for her breakfast. Waitress very attentive.
Overall a very average stay in a hotel that looked Very nice in the pictures. Location is lovely.

Excellent food and a friendly team...
Lovely place, people and rooms which were very comfy and clean, team were very welcoming and friendly and the food in the pub is excellent. I missed the breakfast so can't say how good it was. The area around the place is stunning!
Elaine
This is a perfect place to stay when travelling and to break up the journey. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The room was excellent, quiet and comfortable and the fact that we could take our well behaved dog was why we chose to stay. The bar and dining options available make this a great place to stay. 5 star breakfast and evening meal.

This was our first night in Scotland and they set the bar very high with the accomodations, hospitality (Sarah was amazing!), food, and the comfort and cleanliness of the room. The pub served amazing food. We had our first sample of haggis bon bons and we're blown away. No where came close the next 10 days of our trip across the country. And don't pass on the crumble dessert with custard. It was the perfect stay.
Donald
Exceptional Staff
Hotel is clean, warm and friendly with some breathtaking walks close to the hotel. Exceptionally dog friendly staff who all made a fuss of our pet. Would definitely recommend.

Graham
Enjoyable Stay in Leadhills
Great stay at the Hopetoun Arms. Super staff and service throughout our stay, everyone was friendly and made us feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and spacious, never been in a room with such a huge bathroom. Meals in the pub were excellent and efficiently served. Overall a very good stay, value for money excellent.
John
Hopetoun Arms
Friendly staff and newly decorated comfortable room. We had a great night in the bar with the locals. We did eat in the bar, and the food was very tasty. We did have a dog with us and he was also made to feel welcome with a doggy welcome pack, which was a nice touch.
Stuart
A must
Lovely hotel. Room v clean and warm. Staff took the time to talk to me and make me feel welcome. I was travelling alone. Food v good too.
Only one negative was the mattresses in room one. Definitely need replacing far too soft and bent in in the middle. This is easily rectifiable. Could be my personal taste though. Room was very nice.
Would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
Lovely location, slightly off-grid, but beats a Travelodge hands down and well worth the 10 minutes or so to get there. The staff were all really friendly and just couldn't do enough for us. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Our dog was welcomed with open arms. Bar food was good homecooked and wholesome and at a reasonable price, as was our liquid refreshments. Breakfast was superb... I relly can't be happier.
Louisa
Helpful staff, good breakfast, dog friendly

Dr Sarah
Fantastic staff, lovely hotel, great location
This is a very pleasant countryside pub/hotel, a genuine local pub which has also mastered being an excellent small hotel - a rare combination. Very comfy rooms and beds, great food, fascinating location in Leadhills, also very close to Wanlockhead. The thing that makes it, though, are the staff and owners, all of whom were just lovely and incredibly sweet and kind to my Dad's dog. Very much hope I get the chance to go back.

Pleasant village hotel
Pleasant unpretentious hotel with friendly staff and chatty host. Clean and comfortable double room and large bathroom. Not quite a power shower, but did the job!
Enjoyed evening food served in lounge bar and relaxed after on ample settee before a warming fire. Noisey group in bar next door, but worth a visit to see the display of old photos and materials from days gone by. Good choice for breakfast served in dining room.

Lovely hotel hidden in the hills. Highest located village in the Scotland. Since it is in a small village do not expect 5 stars latest technology. However hotel rooms are clean, spacious, it has good internet and WiFi. We had dinner and also breakfast here that been very tasty. Staff very friendly and happy to give advise on local attractions. We used this hotel as access point to Dalveen Pass for sunset and sunrise photography which is in close driving proximity.

Set in lovely village ,hotel is very real surprise. Very clean and comfortable, staff are all very attentive and friendly. Food is pub style but beautifully cooked.If you get a chance to sample the Cumberland sausage with mash and onion gravy don't miss it ...best gravy ever .Breakfast is pretty good too.

A memorable hotel.
A quirky and memorable hotel, ideal for walking the Southern Uplands Way. Great food after long days walking over hills and moors. Must come back and explore the area more especially the lead mining industry.
