The Grade II-listed Gables Hotel is situated in the heart of Gretna. With its beautiful gardens, the family-owned Gables offers free WiFi and free on-site parking. The hotel’s restaurant has earned a reputation for fine, traditional Scottish food, and it offers a varied à la carte menu, as well as a carefully selected wine list. For a less formal setting, the cosy lounge bar offers home cooked bar meals. It is only a mile from the M(A)74, M6 and A75, giving easy access to Glasgow, Dumfries & Carlisle. Guests can explore Galloway with its forests and lochs, or historic Carlisle and the northern lakes. Designer shopping at the Gretna Gateway is just 5 minutes away, and if horse racing is your sport, Carlisle Race Course is a short drive away. Golf, fishing, horse riding, clay pigeon shooting and quad biking are amongst the many activities available.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 8.6 for a two-person trip.

    We have stayed here 6 times now and we have always had a comfortable stay. Pet friendly is the added bonus for us when travelling. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We did half board and the food was amazing. We will definitely keep returning.

    A great rest place for our LEJOG trip. Goos was excellent both at evening and at breakfast. Our room was a shock as it had a four poster bed and a jacuzzi bath. Most unexpected. Staff were very helpful and an excellent recovery place for us before...
