This is a perfect place to stay when travelling and to break up the journey. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. The room was excellent, quiet and comfortable and the fact that we could take our well behaved dog was why we chose to stay. The bar and dining options available make this a great place to stay. 5 star breakfast and evening meal.

Enjoyable Stay in Leadhills

Great stay at the Hopetoun Arms. Super staff and service throughout our stay, everyone was friendly and made us feel very welcome. The room was very comfortable and spacious, never been in a room with such a huge bathroom. Meals in the pub were excellent and efficiently served. Overall a very good stay, value for money excellent.

Fantastic staff, lovely hotel, great location

This is a very pleasant countryside pub/hotel, a genuine local pub which has also mastered being an excellent small hotel - a rare combination. Very comfy rooms and beds, great food, fascinating location in Leadhills, also very close to Wanlockhead. The thing that makes it, though, are the staff and owners, all of whom were just lovely and incredibly sweet and kind to my Dad's dog. Very much hope I get the chance to go back.

Friendly staff and newly decorated comfortable room. We had a great night in the bar with the locals. We did eat in the bar, and the food was very tasty. We did have a dog with us and he was also made to feel welcome with a doggy welcome pack, which was a nice touch.

This was our first night in Scotland and they set the bar very high with the accomodations, hospitality (Sarah was amazing!), food, and the comfort and cleanliness of the room. The pub served amazing food. We had our first sample of haggis bon bons and we're blown away. No where came close the next 10 days of our trip across the country. And don't pass on the crumble dessert with custard. It was the perfect stay.

Great Stay

Lovely location, slightly off-grid, but beats a Travelodge hands down and well worth the 10 minutes or so to get there. The staff were all really friendly and just couldn't do enough for us. Our room was spacious, comfortable and clean. Our dog was welcomed with open arms. Bar food was good homecooked and wholesome and at a reasonable price, as was our liquid refreshments. Breakfast was superb... I relly can't be happier.

Average hotel, staff were friendly. Shortened evening menu, no haggis neeps and tatties! They forgot one of the three dinners we ordered so when it eventually came the other two had finished. Bed was uncomfortable. Breakfast was good with plenty of choice. Our dog was bought water and sausages for her breakfast. Waitress very attentive. Overall a very average stay in a hotel that looked Very nice in the pictures. Location is lovely.
