Creebridge House Hotel

We were booked into another hotel for the night but after seeing the room we decided not to stay there so we booked the creebridge house hotel for the night through booking.com. Reviews seemed good and the photos looked nice. We checked in and went to the room, happy that we had found somewhere else to spend the night after a manic search looking for somewhere that took dogs. The room was another disappointment... Two disappointments in one day just our luck! So we bit the bullet and stayed. Walking into the room it was cold and the radiators were off, bearing in mind it was very cold outside but luckily or unlucky there was a little fan heater so that was put on straight away. We looked around the room, as you do, and the bathroom and bedroom were grubby, poor housekeeping and poor maintenance in all areas. Bathroom had dirty marks on bath panel, toilet had urine on it radiator filled with thick dust and mirror needed a good clean in fact all the mirrors needed a good clean! The lampshades in bedroom were thick with dust, the headboard was Very loose, the base of the bed had 2 sheets of plywood screwed to it, the window rattled and it was a good job the curtains were thick to stop the draught. We went down to the bar for a drink but couldn't sit there as there was a large group of non residents in to watch the rugby so we went through to the lounge where there was a lovely fire but there were non residents in there so we tried again and went to the residents lounge which was a very large cold room with no inviting fire lit. We booked a table for dinner and because it was Valentine's Day the earliest was 5.45pm. It had been a long day we were cold and hungry but booked the slot anyway. Newton Stewart is a very short walk so the hotel is in a great location for closeness to local amenities, hunger got the better of us and we ate while out and cancelled our reservation. We got back and still no room in the bar so took a couple of drinks back to the room where we spent the evening. Had a very broken and uncomfortable sleep because of... the hard bed, pillows that need replacing, noise of fan heater which was set on thermostat position and on all night as all the radiators all need bled so fan heater was only source of heat. The fire door had a halo of light around it which would not save anyone if, god forbid, there was a fire. The Hotel says it is dog friendly and yet there is no bin that we could see on the grounds to put the poo bag in.

Excellent dinner in the bar. Steak pie was superb, as was the duck. Super cosy bar with roaring fire burner. Kenny the barmen was so funny and kind, made our visit. All staff were really friendly, as was the owner. The four girls from Glasgow xWould highly recommend

What an amazing experience, we booked the Hogmanay package and were not disappointed in any way. The hotel building and grounds are traditional, warm and cosy. The rooms are well appointed and everything is spotlessly clean. The menu and food are local and of excellent quality. The bar area is really friendly and often used by locals so it has a really 'local' buzz about it and is a great place to enjoy on cold winters evening with the fire roaring in the hearth. Kenny behind the bar will keep you smiling with his wonderful sense of Scottish wit and humour. The Hogmanay evening entertainment and dinner is a fabulous event, with many peopled dressing up to the nines to enjoy a full on, but really well organised evening of food, drink and entertainment. The evening flies by, and no sooner than you have finished your welcome glass of fizz and canapes, than you are standing in the gardens watching the amazing fireworks at midnight. Now I stay in many hotels, and it is not the shiny marble and grand check in lobbies that make an overnight stay a great one, it is the people who work, run and manage a hotel that make it special. We got to know Sara and her amazing team well during the stay, they truly have their guest's interests, happiness and satisfaction at heart. They will all go the extra mile to see guests have everything required and always with a big welcoming Scottish smile. Highly recommended at New Year, or any other time of the year, you won't be disappointed.

Had dinner in the bar, we had the dog with us so couldn’t use the restaurant. Not an issue, especially as the menu was the same. We had prawn salad and scallops with black pudding. For main courses we had lamb shank and pop eye steak. All was very tasty and came with great service. The locals were also really friendly and we had a nice chat with a few of them. Got some good recommendations for dog walks. The bar manager Kenny is very welcoming and made our dog feel at home, she loves a biscuit!

We visited for dinner for friend's special birthday and what a wonderful dinner. Excellent service, amazing food, generous portions. All staff very friendly and helpful, but special mention must go to Kenny, who did an amazing Happy Birthday rendition to our birthday girl and went above and beyond to make our visit more than memorable. Thanks to everyone. What a wonderful evening.

Five star for sure, the meals where a slightly on the large size, but full of flavor. We had lasagne and mince and tatties. Would visit here again. Staff are incredibly friendly. And dog friendly. A comfortable atmosphere, enjoyed the whole evening.

Visited The Creebridge House Hotel for lunch, whilst on holiday in the area. As it was a celebration we had three courses. The food was excellent, we could not fault it at all. We ate in The Brasserie. The room is a little on the dark side, with no outlook, it was a beautiful sunny day, outside. The room is a little dated and could perhaps benefit from a freshen up, by being decorated. The regular clientele are probably more on the older side. However, food wise, you won’t be disappointed. The couple who served us were friendly.

We came across this hotel on our way through Newton Stewart on a last minute visit and road trip in the West of Scotland. It was a welcoming hotel at the end of our first day and didn’t pre book. We were made most welcome by Tracy on reception, booked in and went out for a quick drive. Upon returning an hour later we had a lovely drink in the sun in the beer garden before dinner . An excellent meal, one of the best rib eye steaks I have had, all the food was great just what we needed. The waiter , Kenny was great, with his sense of humour and stories. The breakfast the following morning was also excellent, all freshly cooked. |Although a bit dated, it was clean, tidy and comfortable with plenty of character. The stack were all friendly and made us feel welcome. It is a lovely old building, and it has creaky flooring and nooks and crannies and showing its age. It suited our needs perfectly, particularly as a last minute option.

The Creebridge House Hotel, is located in the Minnigaff area of Newton Stewart. It is a small hotel offer just 8 bedrooms however it is very popular for a meal and even to stay. I understand that there has been an extensive refurb so the decoration has been given a necessary refresh which only adds to the appeal of the place. We had our wedding reception here and without a shadow of a doubt would recommend to anyone for a reception. We were treated very well and have to say that my guests still talk about the food a number of years later, it felt like the meals had been individually prepared. We visit every so often for a bar meal too and have not been disappointed. It is not the cheapest place but when you get good quality food you can't complain.

We drop in regularily for family meals and have our annual Christmas 'works outing' here. Always a relaxed atmosphere where nothing is too much trouble. Good wine list and the food is always up to standard.

My husband and I am came here for a anniversary meal and had a lovely evening. The service was outstanding yet still relaxed and the food was delicious. We shall definately be coming back.
