The Selkirk Arms Hotel & Restaurant

My mum and I had a wonderful stay here. Staff all are so lovely. We both have food intolerances and they were amazing with them. They cant do enough for you. Lovely lady called Marion who took great care of us both. Just want to say a huge thank you to all the staff for such a fabulous stay. Lovely clean room, well stocked with all you could need. Food was first class.

Really enjoyable stay at the Selkirk arms for 4 nights. The location of the hotel is great and has parking at the rear. Staff all really helpful and the building is beautiful and historic. Room was nice and looked like it had recently been renovated and the bed was super comfy. We had breakfast included and was freshly made each day and we also ate at the restaurant for dinner on two evenings and the food was delicious. Really enjoyed the crab starter and the chicken curry. Would highly recommend a stay.

Had a lovely 4 night stay here to explore Kirkcudbright. Room was great, spacious and super comfortable. Breakfast was great, cooked fresh to order and good portions. We ate for dinner twice and both times great food, really tasty and good choice. Staff throughout the hotel were lovely, super friendly and chatty. Can highly recommend if you are in the area.

My wife and Nancy and I spent a wonderful day and night in Kirkcudbright at the Selkirk Arms Hotel and Restaurant. Nancy wanted to stay there as her great-grandmother grew up in the town. But beyond that, Kirkcudbright is very charming - beautiful houses and architecture, a place where artists came to paint. And the hotel and restaurant were awesome - wonderful people; superb food; charming room; beautiful garden; cool bar! Everything about the lodging was top-notch, and the town was totallly charming, as I've said. Thanks so much!

Have just returned home from a very enjoyable two-night DBB break at The Selkirk. We stayed in a spacious, well-appointed, dog-friendly room in the annexe, which gave us direct access to the lovely garden and the car park - very convenient with our dog because we didn’t have to take him through the main building. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant and efficient. We’ve visited for lunch a number of times so knew the food would be good, and breakfast and dinner were excellent. The hotel has a very nice atmosphere; warm, welcoming and relaxed and we felt well looked after – thank you Team! Would highly recommend The Selkirk and we hope to return for another wee break in the not-too-distant.

Had a wonderful 3 night stay. The staff was absolutely helpful and attentive to our every need. The breakfast was delicious - the full Scottish breakfast wonderful and quite filling. We held a family reunion there and had an amazing dinner. The rooms are cozy, clean and comfortable. A central place with easy walls to everything in the center of town as well as longer hikes. Loved it and would gladly return!

Went for a birthday lunch. Ordered beautiful food. There was a two course deal menu as well. Excellent service, comfy and welcoming. Partner said his coffee was excellent.

Probably the best roast lamb I have ever had. A proper Sunday roast. Everything was cooked perfectly and the lamb was so tender. The staff were attentive, discreet and very welcoming. Will definitely visit again when next in the area.

We stopped in here because it was the only restaurant we could find open. It's very old & very tiny. I'm sorry but the food was not good.

Booked a table having read the good reviews, hoping to find a good vegan meal. All our dishes were fantastic, well cooked, great flavour combinations. As a vegan it was great to see creativity in my meal with the praline parfait a welcome change from sorbets and chocolate tarts.

great food fabulous staff a must goto every time we visit the hidden gem that is Kirkcudbright!

excellent meal superb service. Lovely warm room with a nice friendly atmosphere. alwats get a great meal at the Selkirk

Wandering round the old part of Kirkcudbright, we spotted the hotel bar and restaurant tucked away down the side, and after a quick perusal of the menu decided that it was a good choice for lunch. The menu was quite extensive and had a good choice of non-meat things for veggies, with variations possible for vegans, so we had no trouble finding something suitable to eat. I opted for a Nasi Goreng from the 'posh nosh' menu, mainly as it had been quite some time since I had one, and very tasty it was too, just avoiding being over-spiced so that there was still plenty of flavour. Herself opted for breaded monkfish goujons, which came with a wee dish of chips and peas on the side. We had just enough room left for pud, and although I'm usually wary of dessert with my dairy intolerance, after a quick look at the allergy sheet produced by the waitress I was confident enough to order the peanut butter iced parfait with dark chocolate (I did regret it later, but sometimes you have to be prepared to suffer!). Herself chose the Cranachan Brulee, and I have to say that the raspberries in that were just fabulous. Service was friendly and attentive - I was particularly impressed with the waitress bringing me the allergy sheet for the desserts to help me pick one. It wasn't the cheapest lunch, but we didn't regret it one bit and it certainly set us up nicely to continue our walking exploration of the town.

Great hotel, great food, central location with lovely garden for al fresco dining. Free wi if throughout. All rooms refurbished, choice of 2 restaurants and 2 bars. No 1 on Tripadvisor
