Festival Hotel
Our Festival Hotel is The Holiday Inn, The Crighton, Bankend Road, Dumfries DG1 4ZZ
The hotel rooms will open up for booking shortly an email will go out and an announcement of Facebook (Sorry we have to establish which rooms we need for artists first).
Please note you cannot book online as the rooms have been put on hold for the festival. You can only book directly with the hotel by phoning the local hotel number : 01387 272410 – DO NOT Press 1 for reservations DO Press 5 for reception. Please quote this code UKUL260418 If there is no reply it means they are busy on the phone – you could try redialling and pressing the number for the conferences and events.
Campervan Parking
The estate has given permission for overnight parking (and sleeping) of small to medium sized campervans. We have booked two rooms at the hotel where you can access toilets and showers. There will be no facilities for chemical waste disposal and we are not aware of external drinking water taps. But you should be able to fill your kettle up from the hotel rooms we have set aside for you. There is a modest cost for this, click here for details.
