The Art Bank is a welcoming place for your dog/s and there is a wonderful forest nearby for beautiful scenic walks.

The Art Bank is an amazing retreat to stay in. I was lucky enough to go there for an art retreat in April 2024 and such a lovely time. Mandy's dogs are so laid back and friendly and because I am not a dog owner I was a little wary, but I didn't need to be. They were lovely and I would recommend anyone with a dog to stay at The Art Bank with their own dog.

Carol Woodhall, August 2024

Our dog was made very welcome, with lots of extra touches like a dog towel and treats. He had a great time!


Angela Dixon, August 2024

Our dog Rosie (a German Shepherd) was made to feel special at The Art Bank, a welcome pack with treats and also sausages at breakfast time. Lots of space in the room for her to get comfy. Local knowledge provided of other dog friendly venues and walks. Really enjoyed our stay here and would come back.


Emma Newman, August 2024

It’s beautiful and unique and welcomes my furry baby 🤩


Terri-ann Jones, August 2024

The friendliest dog friendly place I’ve ever stayed. Your dog receives his/her own bed, bowl, blanket and treats.

They also treat humans well to!


Katherine Skelly, August 2024

Mandy always offers exceptional service, quality and hospitality and sharing that joy with my dog is one of the best luxuries.

Mandy Nicholson will go over and above to help and support others. She is caring, vivacious and has such a zest for life and Dogs are a Huge part of this aswell.

WoWser what a question. I first met Mandy on her creative mastermind course a few years back. Her zest for helping everybody is a super strength, I don't think she sleeps. I have now been to the Art Bank 3 times, First time it was a last minute surprise. I fell in love with Mandy's Home and enthusiasm for creativity. Each room was carefully tun ed to the artist of that room. I have now stayed in all three rooms and my favourite has to be the Monet room, I love the others too. The Art Bank is so clean and immaculate. Mandy is tentative to everyone's requirements and caters for our 4 legged family members. Her dining room is totally 5****s, You can not fault the food and ambiance, The staircase is a thing of pure delight. You cant look anywhere in The Art Bank.


Debbie Crouch, August 2024

A superb place for a dog to feel at home


Andrea Clare Brooks, August 2024

The Art Bank is 100% dog friendly and you don’t have to pay extra for your them! I was also allowed to bring all 3 of mine. They were happy, so I was happy. Thanks Mandy and team x


Kelly Weston, August 2024

Very well decorated clean rooms, and great service from the very welcoming host. Loved the breakfast selection too. Owners dogs are very well behaved.


Marie Lewis, August 2024

Having two dogs of my own which are technically my children's the heat off finding a great B&B in Scotland!


Danielle Smith, August 2024

I absolutely love it and it's well deserved! I love that even dogs get part of breakfast with sausages just for the furry friends.

Mandy also goes the extra mile. When I was there she cared for a visitors dog whilst she went to a work meeting. How is that for service?

Her standards are unbeatable.


Lynsey Beard, August 2024

Absolutely brilliant with a wonderful host


Angela Robinson, August 2024

Lovely friendly doggies to welcome u, doggy welcome pack on arrival and even a sausage for your pup at breakfast if they would like. Back garden to sit in a little run around for your pooch.


Mandy Russell, August 2024

It's a beautiful place and our dog was welcome as we were


Victoria Lancaster, September 2023

The art bank is just the most amazing b&b in Dalbeattie. You have an AMAZING welcome by the owner and her beautiful dogs. My family have stayed twice now and can't wait to go again for the amazing breakfast.. even the dogs look forward to when we finish cause they get the rest. Everyone (even the dogs) are treat the same.


Carol Woodhall, September 2023

Very friendly and welcoming. Little extras for both humans and dogs 🐕


Holly Larkin, August 2023

Because doggies are so welcome as are people


Carol Woodhall, August 2023

Amazing place to stay, very relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. The rooms are beautifully decorated and lots of little extra touches. Very accommodating to our dog! Excellent breakfast. Highly recommend.


Robin Lashinski A va, August 2023

Going a on a vacation just doesn't feel right unless you have your furry pal with ya! Here, you get the best of both worlds! Rest easy knowing you'll have have the best of times! :).


Joanna Simm, August 2023

Exceptional place with a wonderful ethos. Quite unique.


Elaine Urquhart, August 2023

Because it is not your run of the mill dog friendly B&B it offers something that bit different.


Katherine Skelly, August 2023

Mandy is one of the most amazing people I know and not only that, but she welcomes pets into her incredible space, treating them like they are on holiday too. They probably don't want to go home! I wish all BnBs were like hers.


Leah Palmer, August 2023

Very friendly towards dogs, their welcoming pack for dogs in a beautiful touch.

Mandy was amazing with my Frank. He loved his welcome pack and sausage at breakfast. We enjoyed our stay and will be back again next time I am up that way!

It is a fantastic placr to stay hostess and furbabies are very welcoming.... facilities are fab and the food is all home cooked 😊

I stayed their for a weekend and it was such an amazing stay, the rooms were immaculate, the breakfast delicious and the host was so welcoming. I feel 100% confident recommending this B&B, no chance of you being disappointed.


Penelope Nanton, August 2023

Having visited the Art Bank 3 times, and leaving feeling amazing it is totally deserved. My little 3 legged fur baby was treated as a guest and we felt at ease from the moment we walked into the Art Bank with Mille. Even Millie was calm and totally at ease, despite her anxiety issues she has with new places.


Danielle Smith, August 2023

It's such a beautiful place. During my visit, there was a lady there for work and she was perfectly comfortable leaving her dog, knowing he's cared for. I love that there's a doggy welcome pack and sausage at breakfast too. My pups would love that! Traveling and finding somewhere suitable is a challenge so it's great to know that this beautiful stay, which I already love, is open to me bringing my doggies too. Amazing service, food and place.


Robert Snowden, August 2023

Best hotel to bring my 2 labs on holiday!!


Amanda Murphy, August 2023

I’ve visited the Art Bank 3 times now . Knowing the dogs are well looked after is top priority . Going into the rooms knowing the dogs get a welcome pack too makes The Art Bank stand out from others .


Ange Robinson, August 2023

My dog was made as welcome as if it were their own. Fabulous welcome pack for dog and a sausage at breakfast what more could a happy dog want


Kelly Weston, August 2023

Mandy provides a great service at the Art Bank. The rooms are unique, the service is fabulous, and you even get a welcome pack for your dogs. The area is great for dog walks.


Andrea Cumming, August 2023

The Art Bank, and it’s location, is amazing for dogs and their humans. Mandy’s dog are super friendly too.


Norah Moulahi, August 2023

It is the most gorgeous friendly place. When I stayed there the owner(Mandy's) dogs were there and she told me how welcome other dogs are. Her doggys were so sweet, one of them blind. One definately loves sausage hahaha we did share our breakfast with them. Amazing place. Could'nt have felt more welcome. We were even welcomed into her own sitting room where the doggys snuggled up near us. You know her love for her own dogs would definately be shared with yours.


Terri-ann Jones, August 2023
