Good find

Nice little place at a good price as we were going to The Open at Troon. No services in the village but next village has a great food pub and hotel that does decent pub Faye. when we visited the hotel bar and restaurant was closed for refurb but they did do a good breakfast

Adequate for a short stay,

A former coaching house with very friendly owner, Susan. Perfectly adequate for a short stay. We know the area well and did know in advance that it’s not “Castle Douglas”. Others travellers should be aware!

Very old needs updating staff/owner not friendly

Unfriendly

no food on service or breakfast on offer, tele was to small.

Stayed over for one night passing through on a cycling trip. The host was extremely friendly, welcoming and helpful storing and charging our bikes. Only open for B&B but fortunately the local tearoom opens on weekend evenings for meals. Well stocked community shop next door and community pub at the end of the street. Great village and area.

Clean, comfortable and peaceful

The hotel itself is lovely. Sadly the dining room and bar are closed but the hotel side is open for business! Clean rooms, comfy bed and delightful host. Breakfast was cooked fresh to order and was perfectly done. Really lovely place to stay to take in the surrounding villages and towns. Peaceful village with cafes

Hidden Gem 💎

Just returned from four nights at the Cross Keys ...... Susan the owner and staff are more than welcoming ...... New Galloway is tranquility it’s self !!!!! And a hidden gem for those looking to escape for a while .... a piece of Scottish charm and well worth a visit ..... but don’t tell too many people 😁

Overnight in New Galloway

Arrived late and departed early unfortunately so didnt eat or drink. A very warm welcome and a comfy bed was had,no street parking to be found around the hotel but there is a large free car park 5 mins walk away uphill

Situated in a beautiful town. Very quiet at night. Friendly staff.

Great stay - thank you

Solo traveller on a motorcycle trip, small country inn, owner and staff were friendly, great value and whilst rustic and a little dated, the room was spotless, food was home cooked good and plentiful and a great wee bar - good food, clean room, decent bed and a few beers for very little money.

ross Keys

Bad experience. No Sunday food, no Sunday bar. No where in village to get these items. Central heating poor.

New Galloway

The food was fabulous both breakfast and dinner. Both ladies were pleasant and beyond helpful. Having paid extra for a large room, we were disappointed with our room which could not by any stretch of the imagination be large.

We booked the hotel under the impression it had a garden as advertised “not true” We booked a four day stay arriving on Sunday the bar and restaurant was closed throughout our stay only opening for the quiz night Wednesday nothing to do with us being there hence we left a day early truly feeling let down and disappointment which having to pay for the night we did not stay with this in mind we would like to request a refund for one night For your info the hotel is for sale! Kind regards Ian Bottomley M 07870686955

Sleepy hollow bolt hole

Really friendly hotel with lots of quirks. The village is a sleepy hollow and the hotel is a great spot. Some may say it is a little dated, but I’d say if you want new, clean lines, city clone the you could stay in a Holiday in served by disinterested staff with no reason to make your stay special. Come to a place like the Cross Keys and you get the real thing, warts and all. Not that there are any, just some tiny midgy bites. Our lives would be a lot poorer without places like this.

Relaxed, enjoyable stay

Well looked after in friendly, comfortable establishment. Local area has much of interest, including forest walks, wildlife, gardens and scenery.

Would not stay at the Cross Keys again

Bed linen had strong, damp, musty smell that kept me awake. Quite unfriendly host, unwilling to accommodate even small requests. Dining room very cold. Limited choice of food since the ovens had been out of commission for a week. However, parking was convenient and off-road.

Clean, comfy and convenient

Well situated for exploring the Galloway Forest and surrounding area. Comfortable rooms and a good breakfast to start the day.

Cosy

Friendly staff, small pub,cosy.

Quiet little hotel.

Cozy hotel with a good restaurant , friendly hostess.
