The Blacksmiths Shop in Gretna Green
The Blacksmiths Shop, famous since 1754 for its romantic history of runaway weddings is, to this day, an important wedding venue and is where many hundreds of weddings are conducted each year.
Smiths Hotel at Gretna Green is the brainchild of our chairman, Alasdair Houston, whose family has been based at Gretna Green since 1886. Smiths hotel is distinctly different to any other hotel within over an hour’s driving distance and offers modern, stylish accommodation.

At Smiths Hotel our philosophy is to find a way for things to be done, rather than reasons why they cannot. Our independence means that we can be flexible and respond to your requests. Our mission is to deliver great service to all our guests, whom we look forward to welcoming back, for business and leisure.
Smiths Hotel History by Alasdair Houston..
In 2006 Smiths Hotel at Gretna Green became the latest adventure for our family business, Gretna Green Group. When I began developing the idea for Smiths a year or two previously I knew that the Hotel I wanted to build would be something different, a new style of Hotel for the Gretna Green area; a Hotel that would appeal to discerning guests from both corporate and leisure markets. Working closely with the design team, we were able to translate that vision into reality within around two years. Our aim at Smiths Hotel is to offer a blend of relaxed professionalism and individuality within a stylish and contemporary environment. We want you our guests to feel friendly, courteous hospitality from the moment you walk through our door. We believe our family ownership and independence from "the chains" is important. You are not just a number to us; you are as individual as we are.
Our agricultural roots remain strong and farming is still an important part of what we do here, forming an integrated link between field and table. Smiths Hotel sits in the middle of our farmland that you can see from the Hotel. We grow a range of crops and vegetables and run a prize winning herd of pedigree Charolais cattle.
In addition to looking after the farming business I am actively involved in the day to day running of Smiths Hotel and the World Famous Blacksmiths attractions.
Smiths Hotel is for everyone who likes excellence: people from the local area are coming to enjoy a great meal in Smiths Restaurant or a drink in the bar; couples or larger wedding parties becoming part of Gretna Green's amazing romantic history; business people here for meetings or conferences or stopping off en route north or south; international and leisure visitors and families looking for a taste of 'Scotland with Style'. All are met with the same level of commitment to excellence. Smiths Hotel is about feeling welcome. We hope to be given the chance of extending our welcome to you.
