Rhone Villa Bed & Breakfast
Rhone villa where a warm friendly home from home awaits you.
* Evening Meals are also available for our Guests.*
Iain and Alison Fergusson look forward to inviting you for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The property is a detached house built in the 1920’s for a local farmer and has off street parking to the rear of the property. There is also a large garden for guests to relax in. It once was a bank and was also the residence of the Captain of a Canadian shipping line. It was bought by the Blair family in 1949 and now operates as a bed and breakfast. We cater for most diets from Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluton, wheat and Dairy Free, as well as offering evening meals we are however not licensed but you may bring your own wine to enjoy with your meal.
Rhone Villa is across the road from Gretna Hall Hotel Blacksmiths Shop and marriage room and three minutes from the Old Blacksmiths Shop complex which consists of a food hall, Tartan and Tweed shop, Border Fine Arts, glass shop and Pringle Knitwear. Less than five mins from Gretna Green Railway Station. By prior arrangement we can organise to collect you. There are various buses which can take you as far afield as Carlisle, Lockerbie and Moffat.
It is an ideal base for touring the surrounding area or just an overnght stop. A visit to the Lake District is a must. Why not a shopping trip to Newcastle an hour and a half by car or take a day trip by train. Glasgow is also an hour and half away or Edinburgh two hours away
We offer three double bedrooms (one of which has disabled access) price is £55.00 per room including full Scottish Breakfast. We welcome Motorcyclists, cyclists and walkers.
There are also various hotels within walking distance for a meal or drink, just ask for details. There is a shop about five minutes walk in Springfield or a ten minute walk will take you to Gretna where you will find the local Baker, Butcher, Spar, Costcutter, Cumberland Building society and Royal Bank of Scotland (both with cash machines) There are two Chinese and a takeaway fish and chip shop
We have plenty of history on our doorstep: Did you know Gretna and Surrounding area provided munitions for the first word war at its height 30, 000 people lived here, the majority of them female munition workers, as well as chemists drafted in from all over the then commonwealth countries. (population is now about 4,000).
Or Visit Dumfries where the famous Scottish poet Rabbie Burns is buried, and the infamous Bonnie Prince Charlie stopped over on his retreat from the 45’ rebellion, and stole all the towns people’s shoes for his troops, a forty five minute trip by car, or again take a day trip by the train.
Gretna Gateway retail outlet is a must for some local retail therapy and it is on our doorway only five minutes away open 10am – 6pm everyday and a choice of 50 shops. What more can a shopaholic ask for.
We hope we see you soon where you can expect a warm and friendly welcome.
