3-star bed and breakfast in Annan with traditional cooked breakfast and historic sandstone architecture
Location
The Old Rectory sits a 3-minute walk from Annan town centre, placing guests within easy reach of local shops and restaurants. Close by are Lochmaben Castle, The Devil's Porridge museum, and Annandale Distillery, all accessible for day trips. Free street parking is available in the quiet residential area outside the property.
Rooms
Each of the individually designed rooms includes an en suite bathroom and is decorated with distinctive red sandstone elements that reflect the building's Victorian heritage. Family rooms accommodate up to four guests, with one option offering a separate single bed and a travel cot with a good mattress. The property is a historic Victorian sandstone house with high ceilings and original features.
Dining
Breakfast is a traditional full cooked meal prepared fresh with local ingredients, served at tables in the breakfast room rather than as a buffet. Options include porridge with whisky and honey, gluten-free sausages and bread, and fresh fruit with yogurt upon request. Packed lunches can be provided for guests heading out to explore the area.
Wellness
In-house spa treatments and therapies are available for an additional price, offering relaxation without leaving the property. The professional host manages the guest house and ensures personalized service, including helping with luggage and accommodating dietary needs. Guests can also find quiet corners in the hallways with occasional interesting books.
Family & Pets
Family rooms are equipped for up to four guests, with some rooms offering a separate single bed and a travel cot with a good mattress for toddlers. Dogs are welcome for a small fee, and the host can accommodate dogs in the breakfast room if they have separation anxiety.
