Formerly granite quarrying was an important part of the Dalbeattie economy. The industry died down locally around 1883 due to cheaper imports from Denmark.

Many of the workers emigrated to other parts of the world in order to find work, a number emigrated to the United States to work at a sister quarry in Westerly, Rhode Island. Granite exported from Dalbeattie went into the Mersey Docks in Liverpool, the Thames Embankment in London, various British lighthouses, even as far as the lighthouse at the southern tip of Ceylon (Sri Lanka).

Dalbeattie is credited with developing the technique of polishing granite stone to form a shiny surface. This technique was exported throughout the world by the skilled workers of Dalbeattie as they travelled.

"There is a river running behind the hotel which is nice. Room was good but with no AC can be noisy outside if you keep your window open. Breakfast that was included was great. Free parking across the street. "

5/5 Excellent

Amazing value and quality

"Amazing place I was really impressed with the quality of the room and the food. To be fair I was not expecting such a quality stay for the price as I used both Travelodge and premier inn most weeks and and they charge far more for less quality"
