United States of AmericaWe had a lovely weekend at Hillcrest House as part of our holiday in Galloway. Andrew and Nic are excellent hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was excellent and we much enjoyed the evening meal which is available by arrangement. Hillcrest is located a very short walk from Wigtown centre and several rooms have sea views. Rooms very comfortable and spotless. It was good to see a range of Fairtrade tea/coffee provided in the rooms and the toiletries are cruelty free products made with natural ingredients. Highly recommended and we would certain return when next in the area.
United KingdomNic and Andy are wonderful hosts. Excellent location! King size bed was comfortable. Loved the shower too. We had dinner there too. Salmon and apple cobbler were great- 2 people for L34 for 2 course meal.
United States of AmericaEverything....this was a luxurious, quiet, stately house. It was spacious and our view from the Moray Room was enchanting. Our hosts were gracious and the food was excellent.

Hillcrest is an imposing Victorian villa set on the southerly edge of Scotland's Booktown. Since opening as a guest house in 2003, we have continued to update and renovate in a style in keeping with the age of the house - don't expect ultra modern interiors, but do expect modern facilities, comfort and decor in keeping with a house this age and style.
Lovely views over the Solway and the Galloway Hills, nearby beaches, forests, Dark Sky Park with wonderful night skies, castles, history, chocolate making, tank driving, human catapulting, second longest zipwire in Europe, sailing, wobbly water park, and lots of bookshops! Something for everyone in wonderful Galloway.
