Barholm Accommodation in Creetown overlooking Wigtown Bay has newly joined Independent Hostels UK
This hostel is part of the Barholm Centre, which houses an Arts and Crafts shop as well as a cycle hire centre. With veiws out over the Cree estuary it is a fantastic base for walking or cycling trips around this area of Dumfries and Galloway.
When I was 16 years old I lived in Threave House, the National Trust school of practical gardening, for two years. I had a motorbike and explored Galloway from time to time. Galloway is a beautiful part of Scotland and many people have not found it, even now while I am writing this blog at 76. They drive up the M74 and head for the Highlands. So Galloway is a very peaceful place.
