Gretna Hall Hotel is often chosen for special occasions, with the Coach House proving a beautiful venue for ceremonies.

The grounds were lovely. i found the pathways around the side of the hotel really nice. breakfast had plenty of choice and was buffet style. the staff were helpful. I appreciated that.
the bar and restaurant were packed. i think this was because the hotel seemingly hosts many weddings on saturdays. classic rooms were small. this overcrowding impacted the overall experience.
