Deborah & Andrew Firth look forward to welcoming you to Hillcrest. Built in 1875 and retaining much of its original character, it is a beautiful Victorian villa set on the southern edge of Wigtown, Scotland`s national book town. With open views over Wigtown Bay Nature Reserve and yet only a leisurely 10 minute stroll from both the harbour and the town centre.

With 6 ensuite bedrooms, a southerly facing residents lounge and a large contemporary dining room, we make an excellent base for walking, golfing, cycling, fishing, shooting or for those who just wish to relax and enjoying the fresh Wigtownshire air and explore the many bookshops in town. So if you are looking for a peaceful break for two, or having exclusive use of the house for a larger group - we are the perfect place to stay in this stunning part of Galloway in South West Scotland.

We offer excellent hospitality with bed and breakfast accommodation from £30.00pp, and have an excellent reputation for high quality home cooked evening meals.

For those coming for fishing, wildfowling etc, we offer secure storage and 2 kennels.

2005 saw Hillcrest reviewed by HotelReviewScotland.com which resulted in the awards shown within these pages - awards that have been renewed each subsequent year, and 2008 saw us winning at the Hotels of the Year Awards. The original summary review commented that: "Hillcrest House is today operated by Deborah and Andrew Firth who have over the last 2 years developed their own style of hospitality. Expect the informal and even a touch of Bohemian; also confidently expect terrific eating based to a remarkable degree on local to very local produce. It’s not a posh place but is rather full of character."
