    No breakfast which I knew before booking, and bar closed on Mon-Wed. I booked this hotel because of the good ratings. Staff did recommend alternative which was good.

    Pleasant staff with warm welcome. Room clean and well presented, comfy bed.

    While not a problem as on road parking is easy to find (and there are no parking restrictions), it's worth noting there is no on site parking. The kitchen and pub aren't open for much of the week (possibly this changes in the summer?!) there are still plenty of places to get food though nearby.

    Really centrally located to explore Wigtown and other sites of Dumfries and Galloway, the Blackhorse Hotel is a great place to base yourself at if you're looking for affordable accommodation which delivers a warm welcome.

    room was very hot (unusual spell of warm weather in Scotland), but with only the top small window opening it was difficult to cool down at night. No breakfast but cafe open opposite from early so no major problem

    The room was slightly small. Breakfast was not offered.

    The room has a big television which after a long cycle ride was welcome. The bed was comfortable and the outside area was great to sit in. It was handy for the town and our cycle route. The manager was very helpful. My husband enjoyed the pool table

    The room was very small, albeit a comfortable bed. You could only get into the bed from one side so the other person had to climb over you. The shower had lots of hot water but it was super small.

    Good location, lots of parking on the road. Bed was super comfortable. The host, Derek, was accommodating and pleasant. A few treats in the room to welcome you.

    Great Place to stay when visiting Dumfries and Galloway

    The hotel doesn't do breakfasts, but there are a few cafes nearby that do, so it wasn't a problem.

    The pub does delicious pizzas in the evening, which was very welcome after a long trek from Oxfordshire to Dumfries and Galloway. The team at the Blackhorse were friendly and welcoming and the room and facilities were very comfortable. We've stayed there several times before, and I'm sure that we'll be back again in the future.

    Confusion about internet access (it was not as stated). There was no where to place the kettle other than on the floor. The size of the toilet seat didn't match the size of the toilet

    Very clean and comfortable room. Very nicely decorated with a very stylish bathroom area with new bath and shower.

    Room was cold, the radiator was only warm on the bottom half. It was freezing outside, so it was colder than normal. It did heat up eventually and was fine during the night.

    Lovely room with gorgeous decor. It was fresh and clean. The owner was friendly and helpful, made me a very delicious pizza. Bed was nice and comfy. It was quiet and I had a good sleep.

    No meal facilities on-site. We had to go to another hotel down the road for a meal. We had to park in the street outside the hotel. The town itself was very unattractive. We used it as a stopover to the ferry at Cairnryan.

    Room itself was well fitted out and comfortable.

    The bathroom light was very bright, and caught us out when I switched it on and it shone right at my wife who was trying to sleep at the time. We would have preferred to park off the road, but were able to at least park on the street right by the front door. We chose to stay on a night when the pub was closed, which was a pity as the pub looked to offer an interesting selection of drinks.

    The room was right at the back of the building, so very quiet. The bed was comfortable and we slept well. Convenient location to explore the town.
