Easy to find near Dumfries and a nice break into Scotland at the start of our journey. Room was clean and comfortable, and we had the one nearest the ramp so didn't have to climb steps. Room was a bit dark, but easy to move around in, and had sufficient power outlets so we could charge our phones without a problem.

Dinner was very good and the owner introduced me to a new ale that i hadn't tried before... great recommendation!

We also found out he was the local postmaster, and let us confirm we had the correct postage-- so didn't have to wait 3 days for the post office to reopen! Very helpful!

Breakfast was included and there were sufficient options so both of us got what we wanted. Tried Scottish 'tatties' for the first time, too. Lots of quiet country farms all around!

Thank you!

Delightful.

Stayed for 2 nights with my 84 year old mum for a girlie few days away. Our room was at the back courtyard of the inn (I think that’s where they all are). So easy access for mum. Parking close to the room. Room was spacious with modern decor and en-suite bathroom. Hosts were chatty without being intrusive. Breakfast both days and the evening meal we had were delicious and more than ample servings. It’s a quirky inn with loads of character. The bar area is in keeping with the age of the inn. Great few days. Would highly recommend.

The pub frontage of the Farmers Inn was tidy and cosy-looking; the parking yard, which separates a single-storey block of guestrooms from the pub, looked scruffy and in need of a tidy-up in stormy late-afternoon light. The pub lounge interior was as cosy and tidy as the frontage, with a small bar; overnight guests could enter through a back door past the kitchen -- a fact we didn't realize until we saw other people entering from the car-park. (Better signage would have helped.) The evening meal was excellent, especially the beef pie and veg.

My room, #4, was a double-double, very spacious, with a new bathroom. The soft furnishings could have done with a sprucing up, but nothing problematic. What was a problem was a mysterious noise -- like a firework going off whiiiizzzzzz-bang! every five minutes, throughout the night. It wasn't really annoying until I was settling down for the night (I'd written it off as some sort of fog-warning noise during the bad weather earlier), and then it kept me awake for hours. I mentioned it to the management the next morning, and it was ascribed to issues with water-taps not being turned off completely; my friend heard a different whirring noise most of the night, but not the bang.

I hope management can deal with the various plumbing noises and tidy up the property a bit. The pub is worth staying at -- and maybe bring ear-plugs if you're a difficult sleeper.

What happened to service with a smile?

Pros to begin with:
* Parking - good in that you can park outside your room as rooms have external doors.
* Breakfast was lovely. Good quality well cooked. My favourite aspect of this stay. Abut cold in the conservatory though!
* Flexibility- we were lucky to get a table to eat when we checked in, they seemed very willing to ensure we got seated.

Con’s:
* Service. No service with a smile. Both male & female owners/landlords were dreadfully miserable and appeared unwelcoming. No smiles, no eye contact, but they weren’t rude or abrupt directly just very cold and unwelcoming, jseemed terribly unhappy? The female didn’t speak and avoided eye contact. Very bizarre to adopt this approach in this line of work. Just think this place could be amazing if this couple were more welcoming.
*Evening meal- we were lucky to get seated but the food wasn’t great.I had the roast dinner, the roast beef seemed reheated I couldn’t cut it, it was a frozen Yorkshire pudding and I was offered chips with it unusually?
*the room- good sized room but the floor was filthy in the hall & bathroom had dirty footprints, there was a strong foisty smell, an old dirty pink shower curtain which didn’t go in the bathroom. Bedding was spotless as was the towels. Blinds & décor & furniture etc were NOT & needs cleaning/updating/modernising. But the main thing is the smell.
*The breakfast time. We had to be at breakfast at 8.30am, no negotiation on time or a more open time?? Had to be 8.30am.

Overall we liked the Farmers Inn. Only quibbles were the length of time it took to run the water before it got hot (wasting water too) and the shower was a bit feeble. Also breakfast only available between 8-8.30. A bit restrictive for people on holiday! But the bed was comfortable, there was free Netflix and both breakfast and dinner were good. The weather was appalling but that wasn't anyone's fault...

We were warmly welcomed by the owners and shown our accommodation. Our room was absolutely lovely. Up to date decor, very spacious and very clean. Fabulous comfy bed, great shower and we also got complimentary tea,coffee& biscuits. It really was better than quite a few hotels we’ve stayed in!

The pub was a warm, happy, inviting place to sit & have a meal. The meals were absolutely delicious and big portions!! But I still managed to fit in a dessert!

Breakfast was fab- again big portions and once again delicious. Thanks very much for a very enjoyable stay, we will most definitely recommend you and when back up this way we’ll stop with you again.

Clean and friendly

We stayed here as a stop off to break up a long journey. The accommodation is a different building to the pub meaning it was much quieter. Situated on the other side of the car park park, the only noise was when punters were leaving in their cars. Comfortable and safe with a lovely modern bathroom. The cooked vegetarian breakfast was just scrambled egg and two tomato halves but lots of toast, cereal, yoghurt and fruit options were available. We only saw one chap during our stay who supported for check in, managing the pub and breakfast. Despite his multiple jobs, he was friendly and courteous.
