Rigg House B&B

I have been coming to Rigg house for many many years with different owners. I have to say that this visit was by far a total disappointment. On arrival there was nobody at home, a key box was outside, the room was unlocked so as we got our bags in the room was really cold. My wife went to the en-suite where the toilet had obviously not been cleaned. There was only enough coffee for 2 small cups of coffee. The biggest disappointment was that the booking was made under the assumption that B+B meant bed and breakfast……but no breakfast at all was provided, even though the booking stated breakfast.!!!!! Not good at all. We didn’t see anybody during our stay. If we did we would have complained about the price, but instead they just took the money from our bank. WILL NOT BE RETURNING

The chap working couldn’t have been any more helpful, would love to stay again.

We stayed 10 days at the Rigg House as we had planed a quiet and relaxing holiday in the scottish country and we were not disappointed ! James and Alice have been very nice and helpful to us, we loved the place (house decoration, comfort of the room, breakfast room at our disposal at any time with fridge and microwave) and we felt like we were at home ! We highly recommend the Rigg House which has a very good value for money, thanks a lot for everything James and Alice ! Véronique and Thomas

Unfortunately we were disappointed with our recent stay at Rigg House B&B. Firstly the positives, we experienced a warm welcome from the hosts on our arrival and the B&B is set off the main road in spacious grounds with plenty of car parking spaces. A small jar of millionaire shortbread in the room was a nice touch. The breakfast room is fresh and bright with cereal, tea/coffee and toast included in the room price. Cooked breakfast is NOT included and is charged at £7 extra per person which we chose not to have. Our room was large with an en suite bathroom. The bathroom was dated and the wooden panel on the side of the bath needs replaced as it is water damaged. The shower curtain did not appear to be clean as it was discoloured at the base of the curtain. The furniture in the bedroom was a bit tired and dated and unfortunately the mattresses on the bed was uncomfortable with barely any cushioning left in them. The sheet on the bed had ink stains on it and the bed throw and cushions on the bed did not smell fresh. The curtains at the window did not fully cover the window and the windowsill had dead flies on it. There is a bathroom directly outside the room we stayed in for the use of other guests. Unfortunately it has a very noisy extractor fan so every time anyone used the bathroom we were wakened by the noise. My partner did discuss the issues with the owner before we left as he felt it important to be honest about our views. It is a shame as the house is a lovely old building and just needs a few improvements to make the room we were in more comfortable and pleasant to stay in.

Very last minute booking due to issues elsewhere. Attending a wedding at the Lochside Hotel a dew miles up the road and needed somewhere just for the 1 night. The building is a big old house with all the things you would expect. The rooms were big and spacious, and the bed really comfy. Shower could do with a bit more omph but was fine to get yourself wet. The husband and wife team were also great and so helpful advising places to eat and helping arrange a taxi to the wedding. Lovely nights stay and woukd definitely recommend.

The place was lovely ..I stayed 2 nights ...room and bed really comfy...bath was great...hot water ...and heating made the place cosy...lovely old pictures in room and bathroom and nice homemade shortbread...overall great..

A couple of older relatives and I stayed overnight on Thursday before a family function on Friday. The house is fine as a B&B - caters for walkers and pets so expecting a bit of mud around the place shouldn't be an issue. The decor is interesting ... and looks homegrown ... I think probably Alice did those, and the poeple who whinge about dust should nip around to mine and shut up, Bed was clean and comfy as can be, If I need be in Sanquhar again I'll stay there

Stayed here on our way to Scotland and again on the return journey. Big family room and all tea and coffee making facilities provided along with some treats. Good full English breakfast and cereal and toast available to all. Friendly welcome and people who care about the stay being positive.
