The Hopetoun Arms Hotel

The Hopetoun is a really good comfortable hotel with a lovely atmosphere. We had a large room with a lovely big bed and very good sized en suite. It was very clean and had everything we needed. We had our evening meal there which was excellent as was the service. Breakfast the next morning was just as good. It was a very enjoyable stay and we would definitely recommend it.

We were there for our granny's funeral tea, the soup was scrumdiddlyocious. Rab & Rachel were so friendly and let us pull our own pints. BESTEST HOTEL IN SCOTLAND Emily & Eabha, from Ireland.

My stay was so good I returned 3 weeks later for another night. Lovely welcome from the owners & staff. Plenty of parking, food really good. The countryside around this hotel is amazing, there are lovely hills behind if you want a great view. If passing close by make a detour to stay here.

We stayed for just one night, breaking a drive up to Scotland. I chose the Hopetoun because of its proximity to the M74 and the excellent reviews. I soon discovered how well deserved the reviews were. Everything about our stay was excellent, the beautiful room (#2), the very good dinner and the stunning cooked Scottish breakfast. The staff were friendly and efficient. The village of Leadmills has an interesting history and is a nice place to stay.

Exceptional Service and a Memorable Celebration! We recently celebrated Grannies 90th birthday at Hopetoun Arms restaurant with a group of eight, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make the evening special. The service was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and thoughtful. They accommodated our requests with a smile and ensured that Granny felt truly honored on her special day. The food was absolutely delicious, with every dish beautifully presented and full of flavor. The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it the perfect setting for such an important milestone. We were permitted to bring our own cake for desert too! The team even surprised my grandmother with a special birthday card, which brought a big smile to her face. A huge thank you to the entire staff for making this celebration so memorable. We will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for excellent service, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere!

Dont miss this town on your Scotland tour. Beautiful old town in the middle of nowhere. Dead quiet---like you are back in the 1800s---hotel is wonderful---food out of this world--people so friendly---make the trip to Leadhills for a night or two !!
