A Handsome Historic Hotel
Built back in 1710 as a manor house, before becoming a coaching inn later that century, Gretna Hall has long been a fixture of Gretna Green village. One of the famous anvil priests, John Linton, leased it in 1825 as part of a push to attract genteel couples here. It worked, helping the hall to gain renown as a preferred destination for aristocratic weddings, though everyone’s welcome to celebrate in this elegant place today.
A picturesque location with notable heritage, Gretna Hall is a wonderful setting for your wedding reception. And while it offers a window into the past, in 2018 it received a tasteful makeover to its lounge, bar and restaurant areas, plus its large function rooms – The Criffel and Annandale suites. An upgrade to the Drawing Room followed in 2020, ensuring the ‘grand old lady’ is up-to-date in all the right places.
Dining at Gretna Hall Hotel
Dining at the hotel is always a pleasure, whether in its contemporary restaurant, airy bar space or one of its fabulous function rooms, such as the stunning Ramsey Macintosh Room.
