The Station hotel is ideally situated in the heart of historic Dumfries. In June 1897 the Station Hotel first opened its doors to the public. Built on a site opposite the railway station, it was a fore-runner of its time including such modern conveniences as electric lights, a passenger lift and heating, which was ventilated mechanically to all rooms via flues and upwards to the central tower, a wee known landmark in Dumfries. Just minutes from the town centre, the hotel boasts original Victorian features and first-class hospitality. Dumfries Aviation museum, Mabie Farm park, Sulwath micro brewery and Castle Douglas are just a few of the many places of interest that will appeal to families, couples and business travellers with a few hours to spare between meetings.
