The House O'Hill Hotel was a lovely stay overall. The rooms were immaculately clean with a large, comfy bed and an excellent bathroom. The staff, whom I later found out was the partner of the chef/owner, were very attentive and friendly, making our stay enjoyable. The location in the Galloway Forest, although challenging for taller individuals, was accommodating and close to the Glen Trool gravel cycling network. The dining experience, although not as impressive as dinner, managed to serve a full menu in the evenings. The facilities were fine but nothing exceptional.
