The lightweight sheets were perfect, though the winter duvets felt excessive.

perfectly situated for park views and local landmarks

i had a lovely time exploring the nearby dalbeattie museum, which is just a few steps away, and taking in the beauty of the rose garden that’s only a short walk away, all while enjoying the unique decor and welcoming atmosphere of the place.

Strongly recommend for a weekend rest

Spacious room, comfortable bed, with excellent amenities like tea and Tunnock biscuits to enjoy. Convenient access to hiking trails for outdoor enthusiasts.

It was all superb.

A cozy and creative getaway!

We had the best time here! The room was so comfy, and all the little quirks made it feel super unique. Breakfast was delish—totally loved the Scottish spread. Mandy really nails the hosting thing. Only wish we had a room with a bit more space to stretch out, but the cozy vibe kinda made up for it.

a heartfelt thanks to mandy for her kindness during our stay while experiencing breathtaking art and delicious breakfast options

Incredible atmosphere, unforgettable hospitality.

we had such a lovely stay at the art bank! our family room was spacious, colorful, and cozy, truly a home away from home. the breakfast offered a fantastic variety, and we loved that we could pick exactly what we wanted. mandy was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home. plus, the place was spotless, and the kids adored the dogs!

We had a fantastic stay with perfectly presented rooms and enjoyed the amazing breakfast spread each morning. The garden area was a perfect spot to unwind after a busy day, and there were even some lovely relaxing nooks throughout. While we had to share the bathroom, it was manageable and didn't take away from our lovely visit at all. 😊

my partner and i had an amazing stay in dalbeattie. the eclectic decor and artistic charm created such a welcoming vibe. breakfast was phenomenal, with fresh local produce that truly exceeded our expectations during this walking tour.

room temperature was a bit chilly.

Our family room felt like home, spacious and cozy. Only downside was the shared bathroom situation. The art in the house inspired us. Breakfast had a fantastic variety, including options for picky eaters.

Family with children unforgettable experience

We had a most fantastic time! The breakfast selection was incredible, and I mean really delicious — I absolutely savored every bite of that full Scottish breakfast, felt like royalty. And those Tunnock's tea cakes? Kids went nuts over them. Plus, the décor was on another level, truly beautiful all around.

Sure, it wasn't exactly inexpensive but honestly felt worthy of every penny.

The eclectic decor really stands out, with unique artwork that gives the place character and charm. The charming common areas, particularly the cozy seating nooks, create a welcoming atmosphere to unwind.

One downside is the shared bathroom situation in an older building. it's just something that comes with the territory, though there are en suite options if you seek privacy. the attic room got uncomfortably warm during our stay, despite the provided fan, which might not be an issue on most nights in Scotland, but it caught us off guard this time. Dalbeattie has limited dining options, which could make food sourcing tricky if you’re not prepared.

The Art Bank is an artistic haven, adorned with stunning artwork that filled me with inspiration. The cozy common areas, complete with plush seating and inviting decor, made it so accessible and welcoming for everyone.

More seating options in common areas would be lovely.

we had a fantastic stay at the art bank! the location is perfect, right in the heart of everything and close to some great dining options. our room was spacious, clean, and filled with beautiful artwork. the breakfast was extraordinary, offering a variety of delicious choices that kept us fueled for the day. plus, Mandy, the owner, is incredibly kind and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable.

Spacious, clean room with stunning views. lacked dedicated parking on-site.

artistic decor, eclectic ambiance, thoughtfully curated spaces

More seating options in common areas would enhance comfort!!! A little more attention to seasonal bedding would make it less extreme in temperature!!!
