Summary: My second stay at this property. I felt that perhaps the servicing was not as good as the previous time.e.g. Washing up liquid empty for whole of my two day stay, toilet seat in bathroom was looose and needed fixing.
There are only 3 rooms and 2 of them have no furniture apart from a bed in room 3, bunks and a chair in room 2 and bunks and drawers in room 1. There are wall hooks with a shelf above but so high as to be beyond my reach.
No mirror even in room 3. There was a small alcove which would benefit from some shelves. The doors are very noisy which is a problem with late arrivals and the front door does not close easily which means it is often left ajar.
I had trouble with releasing the front door key from its box and understand someone had the same problem the previous day. There is an emergency contact number but only available when you get inside. This should be in the email with the entry codes.

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.
