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. "

"Everything was wonderful with my stay, my only concern being that communication with the head office for Cottages.com was terrible. However, the team in the local office in Keswick were absolutely brilliant and couldn't do enough to help me."
