This is a room above a pub. It is the cleanest room I have ever stayed in. It is small but functional with a comfortable bed. The staff are excellent and extremely accommodating. Breakfast is free and so is the clean fresh air. Food is excellent and the place is pet friendly. Its about 35 mins to the ferry but worth the journey.

It's a simple, but clean and comfortable place to stay. Easy to find, ample parking, lovely area to walk around. Jenny and Penny were so friendly - I will definitely stay here again if I'm in the area. Thank you, Barholm Accommodation!

Knockinam lodge was more than I hoped for..it was the most peaceful, calm, uplifting, classy, elegant old world quiet place you can imagine. Bucolic scenes all the way there, steps from the ocean, seals popping out of the water, michelin rated unbelievable food, great service, large rooms with huge bathrooms, and tubs the size of a hot tub! They had a bar in a room like setting with dark paneled walls, great views and tons of flowers with high ceilings and greatest crown moulding I ever saw....

Room (single) was basic but clean and fine for my two night stay. Owners and staff were friendly and very helpful. Food was also great and plentiful. Will stay there again if in Castle Douglas.

The room and Inn were perfect! The owner was so kind and helpful. She he's my reservation when my travel plans coming in did not go as planned and I ended up not checking in until the next day. The food was amazing! From breakfast to dinner with the battered fish (so creamy good) and the chicken a leek lasagna (so yummy). I will keep this place in mind for the next time I am traveling g through the area.

Stayed here on a visit to Wigtown in late August 2026. Communication was great with multiple emails confirming reservation and instructions. Although there are no staff of duty the instructions on how to get the key were timely and detailed and we had no problems at all getting in and checking out, and we arrived late. The bunkhouse is clean, smelled fresh, and the rooms were nice. We stayed in rooms 1 & 3 and it was lovely. Also very quite! The bathrooms were modern, very clean, and well...

Incredible opulence. Views overlooking golf course and a light house on the ocean. Outstanding spa.
Breakfast is very good with a variety of choices.

Unique and gorgeous hotel in the Irish coast to stay at before catching a ferry to Ireland. We arrived late, so give yourself enough time to have dinner and enjoy the morning. If you’re catching the P&O ferry at 8 AM, you probably need to leave at 6 AM to properly get in the queue, so plan accordingly. It’s a once in a lifetime experience though!

We enjoyed the proximity to golf, dining and beautiful vistas. All the comforts of home, very spacious and easy access to everywhere we needed to go. Clare communicated quickly and was a gracious host.

Rooms were very large and bathrooms were too. You actually have room to turn around in the shower or even a luxury bath. Staff were wonderful, good food for both breakfast and dinner. As it is a converted mention, there are stairs, back stairs, stairs in the corridors, and convoluted corridors. With multiple fire doors. But they have excellent signage so you can actually find your way around the maze.
