A contemporary venue
in the heart of Ayrshire

The Dumfries Arms Hotel is a contemporary hotel that has a rich 300 year history behind it. Situated in the ancient burgh of Cumnock, the hotel has played host to many colourful characters over the years. These include Scotland’s national bard, Robert Burns having spent many a night at the old hotel bar, entertaining the locals and Sir Walter Scott, the poet and novelist who frequented the hotel. Scott was even quoted to say ‘Old Cumnock, where the beds are as hard as planks, sir’… How times have changed.

The old hotel has undergone a complete transformation and now boasts one of Ayrshire’s largest and most stylish wedding venues along with 26 elegant bedrooms, our popular restaurant and a relaxed lounge bar with our private dining room for those special occasions.

Whatever your reason, come and say hello!
