Good breakfast (pre-ordered for next day). Lots of books available. Good TV with iplayer available. V Good Wi-fi connection

We might have traded the sea-view for the extra flight of stairs: we being there to celebrate 80th this might not be a matter for the sprightly 70 year olds we once were. Wigtown seemed to be mostly closed - or open when convenient for shopkeepers - not just books - we failed to find an available splurge dinner venue to round off our trip having stupidly decided to stay Mon/Tues (this of course is no reflection on Craigmount itself.) The Co-op was the only store open 8am-10pm in the village. Isle of Whithorn was beautiful and boasted a very pleasant community cafe but again it closed at 3pm.

Craigmount is perfectly situated if you want to visit the bookshops in Wigtown, which are all within easy walking distance. It is also a good base from which to explore both the Machars and the Rhinns of Galloway. The hosts, Nicole and Malcolm, are friendly and helpful and serve a good breakfast with plenty of choice. The rooms are comfortable and well furnished and each one has its own book theme. There is a guest lounge to relax in, with plenty of choice of books and games. We enjoyed our stay there and are happy to recommend it to others.

Nothing

Perfect location and wonderful private as well as communal facilities - it is a really gorgeous house with lovely decorative touches. The otter themed touches in the en-suite 'Ring of Bright Water' room were really lovely and I also appreciated having access to a comfortable sitting room in the evening. The option of a light supper was really welcome - the home made soup and sandwich were delicious and filling, as well as beautifully presented. I really appreciated the thought and consideration Nicole had given to the fact that I am coeliac, particularly in relation to the quality of gluten free bread, but also in having gluten free sausages and haggis options for breakfast! Malcolm was a very welcoming and friendly host at breakfast.

nothing - it was perfect

Craigmount was a lovely place to stay. Nicole and Malcolm were very welcoming from our arrival. The rooms are tastefully decorated with different themes from around Dumfries and Galloway. Our room and the whole guesthouse was spotlessly clean. The house was quiet overnight. There was a wide variety of foods available for breakfast which you order the night before. They use high quality local produce. Thank you for a great stay. If we return to Wigtown or Galloway we would like to stay here again.

I can't think of any negatives.

Due to plans we had arranged we needed to arrive earlier than the usual book in. This proved not to be a problem as the owner kindly made sure she was available to book us in. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. We had the breakfasts, the choice was good and quality of the cooked breakfast was excellent. I would definitely stop here again.

If I was being very picky then more coffee and milk for when in the room, other than that nothing. There was a shop nearby so would have been very easy for us to buy more if a big problem.

Breakfast was fantastic! A great selection and local produce which was so fresh and tasty. Our hosts were very attentive and gave us suggestions of where to eat and visit. We had an early start one morning and they gave us a hearty breakfast. We were on the top floor and the views were stunning. The level of cleanliness was very high and the bathroom was modern and very clean. We had a lovely stay and would definitely go back and recommend to others.

Nothing ! Dont change a thing! Your lovely the house is lovely! Perfect!!

Great to have onsite parking. Room and Ensuite were very comfortable with lots of provisions to make your stay better, eg shampoo and body wash, face cloths, cotton wool, glasses and bottle of water plus usual tea/coffee/biscuit facilities plus fresh milk in a fridge on the landing. Also a very comfortable guests’ lounge is available. We didn’t use it on this occasion, but if you were staying for a few days, this would be a great place to relax other than your room. Nicole and Malcolm are great hosts, friendly. Great selection for the breakfast, cooked to order - you won’t go hungry!

A later breakfast slot would be good, especially at the weekends.

The location was easy to find with off road parking.After dark the area around the house was well lit.It was quiet at all times of the day and night. Our breakfasts were freshly cooked,hot and Malcolm was a good breakfast host.Nicole welcomed us and gave us all the information we needed for our stay,including recommending an excellent restaurant close by for dinner that night. Wigtown is the book capital of Scotland and Craigmount is an excellent example which involves the guest in books. The house was furnished with books and there were well chosen books in the room we used that were inviting and beautifully displayed. We would readily recommend staying there especially during book week.

The B&B is lovely, super close to the center of Wigtown so you can explore all the bookshops around. The rooms are themed and so well thought through. The breakfast is delicious and you can pick what you want. The hosts will give you recommendations and are up for a chat - which is amazing! You'll need a car to get by and you best book your dinners ahead to make sure you know where you're going as it's a quiet area, but amazing to exlore the coast and/or Galloway Forest Park.
