Great value
I stayed at the bunkhouse for two nights when taking part in running events in Dumfries & Galloway. I chose it primarily on cost. It’s great value for a solo traveller and having a kitchen is a bonus.
However, the bunk bed wasn’t very comfortable - very soft mattress and I could feel the springs - so I didn’t sleep particularly well.

As we were leaving for the ferry, I felt rather guilty that the squeaky door hinges must have disturbed our fellow guests as we departed.
A drop of oil would work wonders!
A brilliant value place to stay

I like that it's run by a charity, Machar charity. There's everything you need here apart from staff but there's information to read. Very quiet. It's a very cool town

Not stayed in a hostel before so didn’t know what to expect , I was pleasantly surprised with the property , it was clean and nicely decorated with quality fixtures and fittings and nice friendly staff , and at a very low price , will certainly stay again if needed in the future .

Very neat and clean, easy check in. Nice quite town and ample parking. Co op is feet away.
Things to improve: No ventilation system in room which lead to everything becoming moist and floor becomingslimy duento moisturiser. You have to keep window open to ensure ventilation but that lead to insects coming in.
No coffee or tea as cans were empty, although there is coffee machine. Milk, coffee tea could have been provided in common kitchen area.
I will definitely stay again but owners need to improve ventilation system at least

Lovely bunkhouse, could do with better cooking facilities it’s difficult to cook a meal using a microwave. Could have been provided with more glasses and china. We had to buy more glasses and mugs from the community shop.

Very simple property but had everything we needed. There is a chip shop next door, a shop a 2 min walk away and a pub right across the road and the locals were all very friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Slap bang in town next to pub and chippy. Supermarket very close too.
All round great but just watch you dont get locked out. Doors lock on auto.

We were very impressed by this accommodation and felt the term ‘bunkhouse’ undervalues it. The caretaker was very welcoming, shops nearby make self catering easy. Comfortable bed, and nice clean bathroom. Anyone reading this can be assured that a reservation here will not disappoint.

We needed to stop over before catching the ferry, and this was an ideal stop. Very clean and adequate . Chip shop just a few shops away and a welcoming pub across the road, made it easy for us to deal with our onward journey.

It was nice. Pretty clean. I will say the beds arent very comfy but it was okay for a couple of nights. Also the glowing exit signs in the bedroom was rather annoying at night but doubt there is much to do that. The check in was super easy with codes for the doors sent to you. I liked that the room locked
