Summary: 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.

Summary: Basic accomodation (a bed, a wall heater, a coat rack, an adjacent bathroom, and a shared kitchen) but well mantained, clean and comfortable. Excellecent value for the price.

Summary: 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?

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: I stayed at the bunkhouse for two nights when taking part in running events in Dumfries & Galloway. I chose it primarily on cost. It’s great value for a solo traveller and having a kitchen is a bonus.
However, the bunk bed wasn’t very comfortable - very soft mattress and I could feel the springs - so I didn’t sleep particularly well.
