Comfortable bed, shop down the street and a pub across the road made for an enjoyable 1 night stay.

Very good value overall , shower room very good spec . Bunk bed was very used, too soft and noisey . Toilet next door can be heard , but overall it was clean and good .

We were very impressed by this accommodation and felt the term ‘bunkhouse’ undervalues it. The caretaker was very welcoming, shops nearby make self catering easy. Comfortable bed, and nice clean bathroom. Anyone reading this can be assured that a reservation here will not disappoint.

We needed some reasonably priced accommodation that could also take our dog. The Bunkhouse was a great option. Great to have a private room and bathroom. Only three rooms in total meant it was pretty quiet (although the internal doors do bang quite loudly). The kitchen was fine, with a microwave for heating up food and plenty of crockery and utensils. We had great communication from the manager in advance of our stay.

I like that it's run by a charity, Machar charity. There's everything you need here apart from staff but there's information to read. Very quiet. It's a very cool town

Slap bang in town next to pub and chippy. Supermarket very close too. All round great but just watch you dont get locked out. Doors lock on auto.

We needed to stop over before catching the ferry, and this was an ideal stop. Very clean and adequate . Chip shop just a few shops away and a welcoming pub across the road, made it easy for us to deal with our onward journey.

Cannot recommend highly enough. A small en-suite room with 2 bunk beds for £36 a night - what is not to like. Sparklingly clean and access to kitchen with microwave and toaster. Rooms are newly designed with modern bathroom and one of the best showers I have had. Not much storage space, a bedside locker would have helped by providing a surface to utilise or even a shelf over the radiator. The photo is not the actual property- where is the alleyway on the right?

It was nice. Pretty clean. I will say the beds arent very comfy but it was okay for a couple of nights. Also the glowing exit signs in the bedroom was rather annoying at night but doubt there is much to do that. The check in was super easy with codes for the doors sent to you. I liked that the room locked

Convenient

This is just a room with a bed, which is fine, if convenience is what you need. Comfortable enough for one night with a separate kitchen to use if required. The separate, shared wet room is ok but I found everything gets wet, it is a wet room, but the addition of a shower curtain would be good. I think I was the only one staying that night, so it wasn’t a problem, but I think if other guests were in the other rooms too, I’m not sure it would be very practical. Overall it was good for what I needed but not sure I’d consider it for more than 2 nights.

Wigtown Bunkhouse stay.

First time stay for three nights while visiting family. Vert clean throughout the hostel and updated to a high standard. Very nice ensuite shower room with towels provided which is good so you don't have to pack any. Comfortable bunk bed in the twin room we were in. It's a tiny hostel with only three bedrooms and the communal kitchen dinner but it has all the basics you need. It's also safe and secure because of the entry codes to the hostel itself as well as your room. It is dog friendly because one of the other guests had their sweet dog staying so that's a huge plus if you're looking for accommodation that accepts dogs. Hostel is right in Wigtown's main High Street with convenience of shops, cafes, pub etc but it was still quiet. Parking is not a problem on the High Street .Would definitely stay there again.

Very neat and clean, easy check in. Nice quite town and ample parking. Co op is feet away. Things to improve: No ventilation system in room which lead to everything becoming moist and floor becomingslimy duento moisturiser. You have to keep window open to ensure ventilation but that lead to insects coming in. No coffee or tea as cans were empty, although there is coffee machine. Milk, coffee tea could have been provided in common kitchen area. I will definitely stay again but owners need to improve ventilation system at least
