Leaving.

The Art Bank is mesmerising, eclectic and so welcoming. Every single part is decorated with such thought and good taste. The owner Mandy is an amazing woman who knows how to be a hostess. The staff are lovely. Nothing is too much trouble and nothing has been scrimped on. We absolutely loved the place. Breakfast is the best we have ever had and it's a banquet of exquisite deliciousness. Then just when you think it can't get any better, you find out that your doggies are catered for to the same high standard as the humans. I can't recommend enough. Thank you so so much.

Lovely room, very individual colourful decoration. Warm welcome, and very organised and informative. Good breakfast, almost too much!

While not a huge issue for me, anyone not keen on dogs might want to speak to Mandy first - The Art Bank is super dog-friendly. Parking is on-street outside - fine if you can get a convenient space.

Clean, warm, comfortable. Lovely old Victorian property, with interesting artistic updates everywhere. Mandy and her team friendly and efficient. Excellent breakfast choices.

On the first night, our room was quite cold. We spoke to Mandy and it was soon resolved, she provided us with an electric heater that was more than powerful enough to keep us cosy the rest of our stay.

The B&B is centrally located in the high street, very convenient for the nearby King's Arms (excellent food) but also, no problem parking. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome by Mandy, including our small dog - the pet pack was appreciated. Our room was on the first floor, very clean and a good size with satellite TV. The breakfast is really quite extraordinary, you will not want for variety or quantity. Alison is an excellent chef and if you have the cooked breakfast in it's entirety, you're unlikely to need to eat again that day 😀 Dalbeattie we really liked, it may not be the Royal Mile but it's a proper non-touristy little town which was what we wanted. There's a good variety of take-aways as well as a couple of pubs and a Co-op just a few yards away. You're well placed for exploring the area and it's a nice ride up to Ayr, for example. We hope the B&B does well, Mandy's life story and her commitment to animal welfare are really quite inspiring. Look forward to returning some day.

It wasn’t a negative, but if you’re very tall, you’ll need to be aware of your surroundings in the upper floor rooms.

A lovely atmosphere, the room was very comfortable, pleasant and interesting. The quality of everything was very high. The owners were very friendly, and the art displayed was fantastic and unique. Breakfast was astonishingly good.

Shared bathroom but necessary in an old building that has been converted to provide a home and 3 guest bedrooms - there is an en suite option as well but I missed that Dalbeattie itself is not that exciting with limited eating out options but a nice town and very friendly A great location to base yourself to explore further

So much - great interesting spacious room so well equipped - tea/Tunnock biccies!/bottled water - doggie bowl/blanket/towel - very comfortable bed So welcoming and very relaxed and comfortable Breakfast - way beyond anything I have ever experienced in a b+b or a hotel for that matter Also special mention for Dalbeattie - people we met in the pub and the local hotel were so very friendly Excellent access to the whole of the Solway Coast, Castle Douglas/Kirkcubright,

We loved the bedroom Picasso perfect for a family of 4, fridge tea coffee, hotchoc, and tunnochs finest biscuits. Shared bathroom was lovely. No drama sharing with one other room at all. All very clean, creative and inviting. Breakfast was exceptional so many options, could have feasted all day! On road parking and there was a safe garage to store our bikes in overnight.

There wasn't anything we didn't like.

The accommodation and welcome were first class. We stayed in the Van Gogh bedroom which was stunning The breakfast...the best ever!

Stayed in September 2023

We had winter duvets on the beds which was a little overkill, but there were also lightweight sheets that we could swap over so we didn't cook up in the attic.

The whole house had a lovely feel and the owners were very friendly and accommodating. We were able to store our bikes in their garage overnight which was brilliant, and all the rooms were beautifully presented. The breakfast was amazing, absolutely everything you could imagine made available and the dining room was a lovely space to eat in.

That we had to leave and go back to work.

Everything was perfect. Loved that you can chose exactly what you want for breakfast and it's all freshly cooked. Loads of choice, locally sourced products. What a wonderful underrated area of the country, the location is perfect for exploring Dumfries and Galloway.
