Welcome
Welcome to The Grapes
The Grapes Hotel was the first coaching inn in a village laid out for the Duke of Buccleuch in the late 18th century. Today it remains the heart of Douglas Square - known for excellent food, comfortable accommodation, and the kind of unhurried Scottish hospitality that keeps people coming back. Free parking, free wi-fi throughout, and a welcome that's as warm as the fireside.
