Top Machars of Galloway Hotel Reviews
North West Castle Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Lovely setting and kind staff"
Fernhill Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Nice room with a fantastic view of the harbour from the huge windows and balcony. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the food in the restaurant was very good (although the haggis in the breakfast was rather sloppy). Would definitely stay here again."
Cally Palace Hotel & Golf Course
10/10 Excellent
"Beautiful old hotel. Very dog friendly. Views are amazing. Bedroom was very large and clean but needs bit of refurbishing. Found bedroom doors were a bit noisy when closing. As the weather was excellent we enjoyed sitting in our balcony relaxing and enjoying the view. Good walks. Great pool and hot tub. Had our breakfast in the conservatory as we could take our dog in with us. Breakfast was a good buffet selection. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Fully enjoyed our stay and will return."
The Harbour House Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Ideally situated overlooking the harbour, this hotel offers sea views from its' restaurant and some bedrooms. I was, unexpectedly, given a self-catering apartment next door which meant that i had plenty of space with a lounge/kitchen area in addition to the bathroom and bedroom(s). The only problem was that the door into my apartment was really difficult to push open, hand and foot were required. This was certainly because of the heat, but I was surprised that cleaners etc. hadn't noticed and reported this before. I did report it but as I only had a one-night stay it couldn't be rectified during my visit. The food was excellent and the waitresses were good."
Corsewall Lighthouse Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Fantastic wild location - remote, but not too far from Stranraer. Some great local walks, and sunsets. The hotel is quiet, small and unique. Our dog was very welcome, and got extra treats for breakfast. The food was amazing - surprising, given the remote location. Room was clean and spacious, and the staff were all very friendly. There's an EV charger just next to the hotel, which was a welcome bonus. Definitely recommended."
The Waterfront Hotel & Bistro
8/10 Good
"We had to go at 8am but couldn't get a cooked breakfast but we got tea and toast ok. Nice though."
The Bladnoch Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Helped me out immensely when he wasn't really taking bookings for that night"
Craigmount
10/10 Excellent
"A fantastic overnight stop in the heart of Wigtown. Mal and Nicole are excellent hosts, and the whole place is spotless, comfortable, and beautifully presented. Nicole cooks everything from fresh, and the breakfast was one of the highlights of my stay. Dinner was equally delicious, again all cooked from fresh by Nicole. The book-themed rooms are a lovely touch and perfectly reflect Wigtown's reputation as Scotland's National Book Town. If you're looking for a warm welcome, a great night's sleep, and an excellent breakfast, this is the place to stay. I wouldn't hesitate to return."
Glenapp Castle
10/10 Excellent
"Glenapp was the last stop before home, on our NC500 honeymoon. The staff as always were delightful & very helpful. The welcome is always special here & there were plenty of help to carry all our unorganised belongings to accomodate us all. This time we had our dog with us & Glenapp's policy suited us well, he had a welcom pack & was made extremely comfortable. Our room was spacious & well maintained. We dont expect dogs to be allowed in the restaurant area & the policy was that Ozzy was aloud to stay behind in the room. We ate in the potting shed of the Azalea, We were greeted by Jen, a lovely chatty, bubbly & profesional resturant manager. As we ate early & the other couples didn't have an issue, she very kindly allowed us to have ozzy sitting quietly at our table. It shouldn't be expected but honestly just the small personal touches & personalities is what make your stay special. We will be back to try our the new "Nest" Many Thanks"
