By Car - The Gables is located 3-quarters of a mile from the A74(M). - Travelling north, leave the A74(M), signposted Gretna/Gretna Green. - At the roundabout take the B721 Annan Road. - The hotel is approximately a quarter of a mile along the Annan Road, on the right-hand side after the traffic lights.

The Gables Hotel is located just minutes away from Gretna Green, within easy driving reach of Carlisle and Dumfries, and is a perfect base for exploring the beautiful and rich countryside of the Lake District, The Borders and Dumfries and Galloway. Gretna Green has long been a famous destination for the romantic tryst. The Blacksmiths at Gretna Hall is popular for a unique wedding over the anvil. It is also an ideal place to come for a second honeymoon and to renew your vows. If you fancy a little retail therapy there is the Gretna Outlet Village together with the Gretna Sunday Market. Carlisle has many places of interest including the historic castle of the border town, Tullie House Museum, Carlisle Race Course, and an excellent shopping centre. Dumfries is only a few miles away and is the location of Robbie Burns' House with many of his old haunts. He is Scotland's national poet, and was customs officer to the area, which has always been a haven for the smugglers in times gone by. There is also the Camera Obscura and the museum to see. Other local places of interest include the old Ruthwell Church and the village of Ruthwell - the home of the world's oldest savings bank; the poet Carlyle's birth place in Ecclefechan; Robert the Bruce's Cave in Kirkpatrick Fleming; Caerlaverock Castle (pictured) with the nearby bird sanctuary; and of course, Hadrian's Wall. There are several golf courses nearby - the nearest being Powfoot Golf Course, 20 minutes' drive away; Lockerbie Golf Course, a half hour drive; and Lochmaben Golf Course, 40 minutes' drive. There is also fishing and shooting available close by, together with an activity centre for the energetic who fancy pitting their wits at go kart racing, quad biking, or maybe a relaxing horse ride.
