A welcoming stay

The Solway Lodge was a welcoming place to stay. Lovely staff, nice food and a very welcome drink after travelling down from Fife. We stopped off on our way back home. The room was huge, recently renovated, comfortable. We were able to move our car right outside our room which was fab. Thank you. We will be returning.

Motel one not environmentally friendly.

Poor eco friendly at the motel one. Paper cups the get replaced daily, no option to plug wash basin in bathroom, just have to let the water run down the plug hole. Shower screen partial so shower mat gets soaking and needed to be replaced every day.bar only sell bottled beer, thus a glass bottle used every drink.
