Find the Cheap Gretna Hotels

We recently got married in Gretna, we and all our wedding party stayed here for 2 nights. We could not fault a single thing, from booking in, the bedrooms, function room, food, bar, all staff went over and above to make us all very welcome. The cleanliness and friendliness were second to none. It has a 'family' feeling and nothing is too much trouble. All our guests have said what an amazing time they had and that is all down to the Team at the Solway. We hadn't really made arrangements for the evening following our Wedding, as we were holding our main 'Evening Reception Party' when we got home to Cheshire, but after the meal, Fiona sorted out a speaker for us, had the tables moved to make more room, we played our own music and danced the night away until the early hours. Everyone had a fantastic time. We would certainly recommend The Solway Lodge, and will certainly be returning. Jackie & Richard Gibson

Excellent value for money. Lovely warm, powerful shower and bed was extremely comfortable. The staff on reception were very helpful and friendly.

We arrived on Friday to get married on Saturday, with 25 of us in total. The whole process has been incredibly easy and stress free. Staff have been amazing throughout the whole process from us booking last year to us leaving this morning. Breakfast was brill, as was the food in the restaurant/bar. We opted for salmon and beef for the wedding breakfast and everyone said how beautiful everything was. The bridal suite was lovely and spacious and spotlessly clean. It also had everything we needed including an iron and ironing board. The grounds are beautiful and we were lucky with the weather, literally cannot wait to get my wedding pictures back. Everyone has throughly enjoyed the weekend and stated what good value the rooms were. So a big thank you to everyone at the Mill, you really have given us the most magical weekend! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a stress free day.

Yet another fabulous stay here however on this occasion 9 adults and 7 children stayed two nights. This Inn is very convenient for the motorway so it made the ideal place for our family, both sides of the border, to meet here. The rooms were very comfortable the wee extras in the bathroom, including body lotion, are always lovely to use. The available fridge in the room allows fresh milk to be kept and used for tea/coffee making facilities in the room. The jar of coffee tastes so much better than those familiar (bitter in my opinion) sachets of coffee and the tea cakes make a tasty change from the 'usual' biscuits available in some hotels. Breakfast was delicious... choices of cereal, fruit juice and fruit and yogurt as well as a cooked breakfast. I don't know how Alison manages to get so many different meals out together particularly when one wants fried eggs, another scrambled and yet others want bacon well cooked. Alison was not fazed by any of this. There are highchairs too if needed. The sofas around the fire made a great area for us all to sit and natter and play boardgames/cards. There are plenty of games available to keep anyone occupied. We found Alison her usual chatty and helpful host putting everyone at ease and making us all feel welcome. We will not hesitate to stay here again.

From the outside (scaffolding etc) we wondered what it would be like but we were pleasantly surprised.  We had booked a standard room which was clean and tidy with all the bits we needed, kettle, tea/coffee, hairdryer.  The staff were very helpful and friendly, nothing was too much trouble.  Breakfast could be cereal with milk or yogurt, cooked breakfast, toast or croissant, big choice and all fresh and freshly cooked.  We had the cooked breakfast - WOW - lasted us all day.  The little town of Annan, all I can say is, if you don’t visit it, you will miss out on a treat. PS the scaffolding is for all the renovations which will improve the property.  We would love to return one day.
