Review 47：Friendly welcome and hospitality of the owner, Shirley, was second to none. An early check-in was accommodated easily. Breakfast was AMAZING! Location could not be beat - walking distance to all city centre amenities.
Review 48：Very friendly hosts, everything's well-organzised, a rather wide range of choice for breakfast. located in a quiet corner of the small town, exactly between town centre and the railway station (both 5 minutes walk, probably closer to the rail station and due to our heavy luggages, it was truly a good thing).
Review 49：we cannot honestly say there was anything that we did not like during our stay.
Review 50：The warmth and friendliness conveyed by the owners, Shirley and Laurence & the fact that they are both "hands on" in the b & b, their willingness to make conversation with you in general & on local areas of interest & simply making you feel welcome, nothing was to much bother to them also very friendly staff & not forgetting a great breakfast. 5 minutes walking to the town centre.

Review 58：Incredibly friendly hosts and very flexible, we needed a 12.30 check in and the hosts were able to facilitate our needs. Very clean and tidy, comfortable and a breakfast that will be hard to beat anywhere. I would recommend this B&B to anyone and we will definitely return in future. 10/10
Review 59：Convenient location for Dumfries centre, clean facilities, Good choice at breakfast and good quality well cooked food. Friendly helpful lady.
Review 60：really nothing.
Review 61：Glencairn was within walking distance to the bus stop, if you have a map and are physically active. It was not a marathon but was about .4 of a mile. The room was very comfortable. This was during the summer of 2013 "heat wave" and Shirley provided a fan for our comfort. She was the only person to do this during our 3 weeks of travel. Dumfries is a quaint, picturesque town and I wish we could have stayed longer. The hosts were very helpful with our rental car reservation and logistics of getting it delivered to the BnB. I can't end without raving about the omelets for breakfast(they were flexible about the "full Scottish Breakfast". Both omelets were fabulous--big, fluffy, and very tasty. I would highly recommend.
Review 62：There was nothing we didn't like about the glencairn villa.
Review 63：The location was perfect for days out.The breakfast was excellent and Shirley was be friendly and welcoming.
Review 64：Friendly, cooperative staff, always ready to give advice on local matters and who made everyone in our group feel most welcome. I will definitely visit again!
Review 65：I was there for an Ice Hockey Tournament and the staff were very friendly and hospitable. Nothing was a problem to them. I had to leave the hotel before before breakfast on Sunday but the Staff said that I coould help myself to cereal, which I thought was very nice of them. I have already recommended it to other Ice Hockey players, and family and friends.
