Elegant grounds

The Gables Hotel is an inviting, family-run detached property which is understandably popular as a wedding destination.

The graceful Edwardian building enjoys elegant grounds with extensive lawns and attractive floral borders. The atmosphere is laid-back and friendly, encouraging return visits.

Seven days a week

Option one is for a one night stay for two people in a classic double or twin room with breakfast and a two course evening meal.

Option two is for a two night stay in a classic double or twin room with breakfast both mornings and a two course dinner on the first night.

Both options include a late check-out to noon means you won’t have to rush on departure day.

Bedrooms at The Gables are comfortably furnished in a traditional style, with en suite bathrooms.

To make your stay extra-special, there is the option to upgrade to one of the feature rooms at the Gables, for an additional charge.

Both options are available seven days a week with a supplement of £20 per room for Saturday night stays.

Seasonal dining

The spacious Gables restaurant serves traditional Scottish cuisine with a distinctive contemporary twist. Dishes change to reflect the availability of seasonal produce.

The Big Deal includes a two course meal on the first night.

Typical dishes might include starters such as chicken liver parfait or twice-baked cheese soufflé and mains such as pan-roasted Scottish salmon or roast confit of duck leg with gnocchi, spinach and roast celeriac.

Gretna and around

Gretna Gateway outlet village is just a five-minute stroll from the hotel (although it might take ten minutes to get back, laden with all your bargains). Keen shoppers will find a diverse selection of great deals here from leading brands such as Marks & Spencer, Nike, Clarks and Cadbury.

Shopping aside, the obvious sightseeing highlight is the famous blacksmith’s shop on Gretna Green, where starry-eyed elopers have been getting married since 1754.

Happy guests

The Gables has accumulated plenty of admiring reviews on TripAdvisor. Recent guests left the following reviews which we have edited for length. The warmth of welcome from the staff crops up time and time again:

‘Fabulous hotel, great location and the friendliest staff… We stayed here twice again this year and we’re very pleasantly surprised by the extension and renovations done. Very comfortable room with a homely feel and incredibly friendly and helpful staff… Both times we had dinner and they make the best cottage pie I have ever tasted with proper homemade chips. My husband says they also make the best porridge he has ever tasted. Could not recommend this place enough. Lovely sitting by the fire in the bar, chilling with a drink in hand.’

‘Room clean, tidy. Very good accommodation. Staff very helpful, meals very good at an average price… Good location towards the outskirts of village but not far away from centre. Good location for blacksmith’s shop and shopping outlet without being on top of them.’
