To all our customers, new and old, we have made the difficult decision to close the Auldgirth Inn for the season.
We will be reopening next Easter. Rising inflation, cost of living, and transportation challenges to and from our semi-rural hotel have led us to this decision.
However, we are excited to announce the launch of our brand new restaurant in Dumfries called Above & Below. Our dedicated team is ready to welcome both new and returning customers.
We will be extending and honouring any vouchers that were valid at the time of Auldgirth’s closure at our new restaurant.
Please visit our Facebook page #above&below to stay updated on our journey.
All the best, Rab & Team

Luxury accommodation at the AULDGIRTH INN

Due to current restrictions our opening hours are varied. Please contact us for confirmation

Step inside and it’s hard at first to reconcile age with the plush 21st century inn.

Comfortably cosy, its warm, welcoming ambiance mingles with five centuries of history stacked up within the walls. Sit by the lounge bar inglenook and share a space once occupied by Rabbie Burns as he sheltered against winter’s icy blast.

Enjoy a delicious meal in the spacious dining area where you can watch talented chefs as they busily prepare a wide range of mouth-watering dishes mainly from healthy local Scottish produce.

And why not retire to one of the beautifully furnished bedrooms for a relaxing night’s rest.

It comes as no surprise that the Auldgirth Inn is already wracking up awards after undergoing its first major modernisation since 1804.
And that’s down to new owner, award winning restaurateur and chef Robert Macaleese.

ABOUT THE INN

Rab, as he is known, has built up a considerable reputation for running  restaurants where quality, taste, originality, variety and value for money are a trademark. Just ask the regular customers at Little Italy in nearby Dumfries.

Now Rab has widened his sights and bought the Auldgirth Inn, a B listed building of great character and antiquity, that stands off the A76 trunk road a ten minute drive north from Dumfries.

Fancy enjoying a unique
Scottish welcome to 2024?
