    The location was close to Gretna Marriage Halls. The right equipment around the place. Great facilities too.

    Spotlessly clean and has everything you would need to self cater. The location is excellent, being right next to the train station and a very short walk to the Gretna Hall Hotel. Very friendly owners. The welcome pack of milk, juice butter etc...
