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.

Excellent location for a book shopping trip to Wigtown. I honestly wish we had been able to stay more than one night - the hosts were wonderful - very friendly and gracious with advice and recommendations for our continued journey to Glasgow and Edinburgh (Mal recommended taking the coastal road which was a scenic delight). Breakfast was superb - my first time trying haggis and black pudding, both of which were terrific. The rooms were spotless, spacious, and well appointed and the beds were quite comfortable. If our future travels brings us to the area, this will be our first choice for accommodations!

Navigating the driveway in our large van was a little tight, but certainly manageable - a very minor quibble when everything else was so wonderful.

Craigmount is above a 5* rating. Nicole and Mal have thought of everything to make the stay the best possible experience, from the pleasant and welcoming greeting to the moment you leave. Our room was amazing with a Peter Pan theme, it was quiet, spotless and provided everything you might need. The bed and bedding is first class. The attention to detail goes above and beyond and second to none. Breakfast and evening meal was fantastic with so much choice. I can honestly say our hosts and the accommodation were outstanding. Wished we could have stayed much longer.

Leaving!

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.

Good location on the edge of Wigtown, the ‘Book Capital of Scotland’, but only a short walk into town. We had a comfortable en-suite room named ‘Ring of Bright Water’ and themed after the author Gavin Maxwell. We had planned ahead and booked an evening meal of home cooked chicken curry and lasagne. Both dishes were tasty and plentiful. Breakfast in the morning was cooked to order and superb. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts. Thank you for making us feel welcome.

Nothing to dislike.

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.

The owner and her husband are so helpful, even booked the evening meal for us in a local restaurant in Wigtown. Nothing was too much trouble. Breakfast very good. Lovely setting 5 mins walk from market square, Craigmount provides sandwiches in the evening. Do get evening meal sorted out as not too many places providing evening meal in Wigtown. We were recommended to try Cobwebs in the Market squure and it was very good
