“The Ken Bridge Hotel & Campsite stands out for its genuinely welcoming atmosphere and prime position on the River Ken, made all the better by real ales and a beer garden. Rooms are comfortable and clean, but the warmth of the staff and the reliably tasty food, especially the curries, truly define a stay here. It's a Georgian building offering good value in a quiet corner of Dumfries and Galloway.”
