Beautiful rooms. Comfy bed and a shower that I could stay in for hours. Really enjoyed our stay there. Although there was a mix-up with our booking from our side, the owner/manager (Susan) was so helpful and accommodating which we really appreciated. Would certainly go back there.

Room was damp, with damp in corners and run down looking. TV was tiny.carpets very worn out. Bathroom was clean but small. Staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast was OK till we found a dead bluebottle fly between the 2 fried eggs! Ample parking.

The owner Susan is a welcoming & delightful owner of White Hart. Available all days except for Sunday's. And always up early to accommodate YOU & make proper English / Scottish breakfast. always welcoming & smiling There's a night club there, which I barely noticed, but SOMETIMES in the weekends for those who like that scene. It DIDN'T bother me MUCH I can highly recommend this place, what you get for YOUR MONEY, exceeded my expectations. A good 'rty brekky, is a great START to any DAY too. Cheers

Located almost, but not quite on the river front so the views are not to write home about. Room was very spacious, but there were signs of damp on the wall. The TV wasn't in a good position for watching from bed, but thats not important. The breakfast was delicious and very filling. The rooms are above a lively pub, so expect some noise if you plan to go to bed early.

The white hart is a nice bar with rooms which sells alcahol at much cheeper prices than most of the local competition. I have always enjoyed having a drink in the white hart apart from the one time i walked in and got started on by some guy whos dr marten boots went above his knees. You get a house double vodka and dash for 2.50 and a range of tray bake treats which are always a delight. Toilets where clean and well kept which is a rare sight in a dumfries pub. I am unable to review any of the rooms though as i have not yet had a chance to stay there as i have family in dumfries which would spare me accomadation in dumfries.
