Reviews for Lauren House

Review 1:The mattress was very hard and uncomfortable.

Review 2:The staff informed of us places to visit which turned out to be some of the best experiences of our trip.

Review 3:lovely room but on main road but we are not used to town life so not a critisism !

Review 4:Very welcoming, extremely clean & comfortable. car parking off road.

Review 5:Not a thing!

Review 6:Outstanding hosts, very helpful and knowledgeable. Excellent value for money. We will be back. We have stayed at many B&Bs in the UK and Europe, and Lauren House has been the best yet!

Review 7:No guest sitting room, which was probably reflected in the tariff which was very reasonable. This didn't bother us at all though, as our room was spacious and well-furnished.

Review 8:Really friendly helpful hostess, with lots of suggestions for sightseeing. She even suggested we could leave our car parked there while we went walking about the town, to save on parking fees elsewhere. Extremely comfortable spacious room which was quiet and scrupulously clean.

Review 9:Nothing!

Review 10:Jackie was so friendly and flexible as I was late arriving - she also phoned to check when I would arrive. Lovely comfortable and stylish room - spotlessly clean. Great breakfast too!

Review 11:We stayed at Lauren House for a couple of nights over a weekend in August 2015. Jackie the proprietor is very friendly and couldn't have made us more welcome. The room had a lovely large bed and was very clean and fresh. Although not en-suite we had exclusive use of a good size bathroom just across the corridor. There was plenty of choice for a delicious cooked breakfast, with a range of cereals, fruit and juice as well. Lauren House is within easy walking distance of the town centre in Dumfries and any number of pubs/restaurants. Jackie recommended one close by for our first evening which did not disappoint. The availability of off-street parking is a definite plus point. Lauren House is very good value for money and comes highly recommended. We would happily stay with Jackie again if in the area.

Review 12:Nothing

Review 13:Very friendly hostess who gave us a lot of good advice on where to eat, what to see, etc. It was a pleasure talking to her. The place is beautifully maintained and the room was extremely comfortable and spacious for our family of four.
