Review of Gretna Hall Hotel

We stayed here as part of our wedding package on 6 & 7 November 2020. The hotel itself is very nice, looks like it s had a recent upgrade.
On check in we were surprised that lots of other wedding parties we re also checking in at the same time. Perhaps this ought to be rethought and give parties staggered times, to help with keeping things more COVID safe.
We were located at the rear of the hotel in a refurbished garden room (view of the rear grounds). Nice modern room with wardrobe space and drawers. Large dressing table to get ready at (vital for a bride!).
Bathroom was well equipped with a double shower and lots of towels.
Comfortable bed and plenty of pillows.
Nice warm room with large TV.
Breakfast was a buffet in the restaurant, with lots of choice. We were served our choices due to coronavirus.
We had our wedding day meal in the restaurant which was faultless! Our waitress (Sophie) was so helpful and kind.
There were a couple of things the hotel missed, that we paid for in the package (breakfast in bed and the complimentary photo) but we sorted this out with the wedding planner afterwards and were pleased with the outcome (thank you Michelle).
I would definitely recommend the wedding packages and hotel. It s a bit further than the Smith s hotel from the Blacksmiths shop, but only a 10 minute walk at most.
