On the main road right by the monument and bridge, a charming ivy-covered facade conceals this romantic, rather luxurious hotel, which will appeal greatly to Burns fans. The heavyish decor of plaid carpets is relieved by slate-floored bathrooms; rooms are spacious and very comfortable, and there's a decent restaurant (mains £10 to £13). Often booked by wedding parties at weekends.
Across the road, there are further bedrooms in Doonbrae, blessed with a lovely garden, and a couple of cottages – Rose, traditionally decorated, and Gables, more contemporary.
