Anyone been?, what's it like on a Sunday night for a few drinks. Maybe using it as a cheap stopover. Doesn't have to be brilliant just not a dead shithole.

I lived there for a few months but that was 1977 so probably changed a bit since then. It was the usual mix of good and bad pubs but they will have all changed by now.

I will PM you later, work there.
 
I've had great Sunday night in Dumfries, one of Scotland's best pub towns outside Aberdeen, Glasgow and edinburgh. Fleshers, Coach and Horses, Douglas Arms, Tam O'Shanter and the Globe (High St) all good.

I think it is one of those places you struggle to get cheap digs.
 
We parked our motorhome in the car park and got a knock on the window the next morning (no parking overnight, apparently). You might find the Travelodge for £50 if lucky.
Is it not one of those Travelodge that are not near the centre.
Mind going to a Hearts game late 70's early 80's fighting in every part of the ground.As bad as it gets for football violence.

Went to our last 2 games there and it's decent for a bevvy
Some nice pubs
 
My son went once for a Uni interview, said he'd rather be a toilet attendant. He said that,not me for any offended toilet attendants :)
 
It’s ok for a one night layover , worse places to spend a day. Used to pass through occasionally when I had a place in Isle of Whithorn.
