No value for money

We stopped in Creetown en route to catch the ferry at Cairnryan. It is a nice, hostel-style accommodation. No frills but clean and in a nice area.

There are limited food and drink options nearby; it is a good idea to book ahead for dinner.

Very clean and tidy and the owner friendly and helpful. Great location for getting out and about and good dog walks close.

We've stayed at Barholm several times and we had a private ground floor room which is great for the dogs as it's straight on to an outdoor space. The room was spacious, clean, peaceful and comfortable and has basic essentials in the room for making coffee.

Cosy room, clean bathroom. Easy instructions to access.

The crazy amount of stairs i wasn’t aware of. Unfortunately no pub or restaurant in easy walking distance.

Ease of access and location

Very clean and well run accommodation

It was good location between places and local fuel station was cheap. Room was basic all you need bed and place to freshen up if you had food there was kitchen to use with some stuff free to use or 13mins drive to supermarkets

Couldn’t think of anything really

Great for overnight stay en route to ferry terminal in Cairnryan.

Clear check-in instructions, kitchenette facilities, lovely location and friendly neighbourhood.

Having a lot of stairs to my room

Posizione comoda, fornita di parcheggio auto. Possibilità di poter soggiornare col cane.

Great value for the area, very comfy bed, clean room and good views especially the Sunset.

No tea and coffee making in room, was available free in Kitchen but we were on top floor, two flights up

Basic and very good place. Enjoyed our stay.

If you.want a sea view and easy access to coast this is not the place for you but its a nice place.

Good communication from staff. Made use of communal outdoor space and kitchen. Comfy beds.

Een kamer met de basis faciliteiten geboekt, voor ons zeer ruim. Mogelijkheden om in een gezamenlijke keuken zelf te koken maar zijn buiten de deur gaan eten. Eenvoudig maar keurig netjes en schoon, prima voor deze prijs.

Personal sehr freundlich.

Haben 6 Bettzimmer reserviert, weil wir zu viert eine Woche gebucht haben. Haben aber ein Vierbettzimmer bekommen. Über einem Stockbett war Schimmel durch Wassereintritt. Darauf wurde nicht eingegangen.staff verlässt Unterkunft um 16.00. Lärmende Gäste in der Nacht mussten wir rausklopfen. Aus der Beschreibung geht nicht hervor, dass es eine Jugendherberge ist. Die Beschreibungen auf booking.com stimmen nicht mit der Realität überein.

Cheap room, plenty to do locally, friendly team

Small car park but on street parking is available. No hob or oven in shared kitchen area

Excellent location, close to everything we wanted to see in the area. Very clean and great value for money. Excellent set up with communal spaces, very practical for longer term stays.

The room I stayed in had a nice view

single bed springy

Great staff, very welcoming. A solid hostel with a good kitchen and sitting room

Propriétaire flexible

Conveniently located for the Wigtown Show. Easy to find and plenty of parking. Great communication from the owner. Access to a full kitchen and sitting area. Clean room and comfy bed. TV wouldn’t switch on but wasn’t really an issue for the 1 night

The place was comfortable and had everything I needed for my solo trip. The bed was comfortable, I had a nice view, and en-suite bathroom, and I liked the kitchen facilities to make my own snacks/meals. The town is quiet and has a really cool gemstone museum with a nice cafe. Fuel in the town is cheaper than anywhere around too. My stay was good value for money.

I stayed 3 nights, and the first was a bit noisy. This was mostly due to an inconsiderate guest banging about getting ready to leave at 4am. But also partly due to the fact it's an old building split into a lot of rooms which gives the potential for creaky floorboards and slamming doors. I had no issues sleeping the 2nd and 3rd night though and would stay again. The other thing guests should be aware of is there's not a lot in the town to do or places to go to eat unless you have a car. The public transport to nearby town is not great! If you have a car though, it's a great base to explore from.

Amazing value for money. Free tea and coffee with milk and a really well equipped kitchen. Had a great sleep! I arrived after reception closed, so got a text with everything I needed to know. Would stay again.

very good. I like the kitchen.

Not many restaurants nearby

Such a nice wee place for a one night stay. Kitchen for breakast and tea making ensuite very comfy bed and a fantastic view from the 2nd floor of the Solway Firth on a glorious summers evening

Le parking, le pub en bas

La vue depuis la fenêtre, le lit trop mou qui grince...

Amazing value for money and exceptionally clean.

Nothing to not like. Were only there from 11pm until 9am. Had a great sleep.

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the room nice and clean and the area beautiful.

Only slight issue was location…gorgeous place but not a great deal for grumpy teenagers 😆

I liked the location and the welcoming staff. The receptionist was just fantastic.

Very clean, value for money, host very helpful.

Stairway very creeky at higher levels and made me very conscious that i may disturb other peoples sleep when returning late but other than that, impeccable

We liked the ease of entering the property with a code and key waiting in the door. The beds were very comfortable and spacious, even with 2 bunks and a king size bed! The decor was aesthetically pleasing. Our stay was very convenient to see family within the village. The cost per night was very good, it has made us look into coming back to stay for a 3 night stay in a month's time. The kitchen and sitting area was well stocked. Fantastic views from our bedroom.

A fan in the room would have been a welcome addition, especially in the heat lately, and a slimline cabinet to store a few clothes would have been great. There was a few clothes hooks and a bedside table.

Great place to stay. Really well organised kitchen with everything you could need.

Perfect for self catering.

A really wonderful little hotel. Very comfortable indeed, with a great double bed. Our dog really enjoyed her stay too!

Good all round

Very clean Staff are friendly

Spacious room, clean en suite, great facilities for touring cyclists.

Nothing

Excellent value

good location, near main road , petrol station nearby, big, clean kitchen with plenty utensils

Good value and location, in the heart of the village

The room was a little cramped with no seating other than the beds

The town is lovely.

Noisy. Aggressive customers and staff.

Great location for my needs, lovely staff, nice seating area for eating and full kitchen use, parking out back.

Mattress was a bit lumpy and thin.

No , breakfast , accomodation was on my cycling route .

One of the best hostels I've had the pleasure to stay, if not the best.

Nothing, everything is great.

Everything! From the minute we arrived to the minute we left. Our room was perfect with the added bonus of having a small fridge freezer, microwave, toaster, kettle and air fryer. The bed was extremely comfy. Lovely big hot shower.

Nothing

Friendly staff and clean area.

All perfect.

Well located, simple accommodation, clean.

Perfect for our family of five wanting a budget place to stay...so clean, brilliant location for beaches, hills and forest. We stayed 4 nights but could have stayed much longer. Beautiful forest walk behind the accommodation :)

There was nothing we didn't like!

Perfectly clean and well-maintained in every detail. A truly lovely place to stay. The room was comfortable, the atmosphere welcoming, and the overall experience so pleasant that I almost didn't want to check out. Would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a stay.

The only downside is that nearby options close early in the evening, but I came prepared and it did not affect my stay.

The staff were very welcoming. The premises were clean and all the basics were provided. We had a lovely sea view and we were shown the guest kitchen facilities and lounge area before being escorted to our room.

Everything

Nothing

We traveled there to do a cycling race in gatehouse and the accommodation suited us perfectly, It was quiet and clean, it had a kitchen (no cooker) with microwave, kettle, fridge, air fryer, slow cooker. perfect place for us.

Its a very quiet little area with one very small village shop, I couldn't see anywhere you could get a restraint or any where you might be able to get a meal.

The upgrade to a double bed

The mattress could have been more supportive

Clean and comfortable. Nice view. Bed was nice. Downstairs shared kitchen was lovely and nice people to chat to.

Nothing,

Great value for money

Very welcoming. Clear instructions if arriving late. Lovely and warm.

Nothing everything was excellent

Lovely accommodation, Very clean & easy to find. Very helpful & friendly hosts.

Peacefulness cleanliness good comms and lovely helpful staff

nothing to report

Die Lage war super, weil wir direkt an dem Örtchen auf unserem Roadtrip vorbei kamen. Für eine Nacht ein sehr angenehmer Ort, bequeme Betten, alles sehr sauber, auch die gemeinsam genutzte Küche. Uns hätte auf Dauer ein Herd zum Kochen gefehlt, wir konnten uns aber mit anderer Ausstattung behelfen. Sehr freundlicher Manager und auch mit den anderen Gästen war es entspannt. In der Stadt waren wir nicht, aber man kann direkt hinterm Haus ins Grüne kommen: einfach dem Weg zu Kirche folgen und dann in den Wald abbiegen. Für unseren Hund super, der generell sehr freundlich aufgenommen wurde.

Sehr kleines Bad, was mit sechs Personen, die ins Zimmer passend würden, vermutlich sehr eng wird.

The accommodation was simple but clean and secure. The staff member I met was very helpful and found a secure room for my bike, existing facilities being full on the day. For someone looking for very good value,clean self catered accommodation I'd certainly recommend the premises.

Nothing.

I have stayed at Barholm before. Very nice, quiet and clean with well equipped kitchen.

Could only get lukewarm water in shower

Staff are very helpful and lovely people 😊

How cheap it was

Nothing

Clean, friendly, basic but adequate for our needs.

Very nice rooms. Good shared kitchen.

Price reasonable

Lots of information about food places and great value for stays

It was very clean, cosy with a good sized room, TV, and good hot, compact shower in the ensuite. Overall good value.

The soundproofing could be improved as we could clearly hear the couple in the room above singing, talking, arguing and pacing until the wee small hours. The kitchen was clean with plenty of storage, fridges, kettles, toasters, microwaves and an air fryer, but a simple electric hob would have been invaluable for cooking pasta or rice for my kids.

Staff were very understanding of my predicament at the time, much appreciated.

All good

Clean easy access

Heating radiator didn't work

Very good value. Great to have kitchen access and covered bike storage.

Very good location to explore the within peninsula as well as Sustrans route 7 routes across Galloway. Very comfortable and quiet location just off the A75. This my fourth stay.

Only daylight lighting in the kitchen cooking area.

Very nice and quite

Every things was ok

Excellent value for money, room was a good size. Well fitted out kitchen facilities

Hot water pressure was very low in the ensuite bathroom

comfy bed - not hard to find access to kitchen for tea coffee and space to sit and eat if you wished remote access - while i didnt arrive in the middle of the night - i arrived later than planned so good that didnt have anyone waiting for me

the stairs didnt know at the time of booking but if youre on the 2nd or 3rd floor theres quite a few stairs and a bit steep also at the entrance round the back theres some stone steps down to the door

Clean tidy and comfortable

Great view, very quiet and serene, good shared kitchen and appliances provided.

Low ceilings, which made the room feel smaller. The bed was really uncomfortable.

Clean, nice and good facilities

Kitchen facilities were a bonus.

The amount of dog s**t around the car park. Absolutely ridiculous, apparently it’s a dog waking area. But the amount that was there in the morning around my car was ridiculous. The ceilings were also considerably low, low door frames and lights. If you are 6ft 2 plus you need to keep your head down. The shower also needs new sealant, it was covered in stained marks.

Quiet village location with off-street parking. Check in was easy and communication with host re door code etc was good. Kitchen is well equipped with fridge freezer, kettles, toasters, microwaves and air fryer. Lots of information about local facilities, restaurants etc was provided

Nothing. We enjoyed our stay at Barrholm

Very spacious accommodation, nice touch that towels provided and en-suite toilet and shower made a huge difference. Kitchen area was great and we were able to cook our evening meal in the air fryer. Very quiet location and a good base for days activities in the local area. We particularly enjoyed the gem rock museum in the village!

Great price, easy check in, spotlessly clean 10/10

Friendly staff, clean comfortable room, well-equipped kitchen

Nothing

Very clean accomodation on ground floor very convenient if going from or to the ferry at cairnryan

Very reasonably priced, very clean and comfortable.

It was all okay
